A cozy, copper-hued Bermondsey spot serving punchy regional Burmese dishes and pantry staples in a warm, relaxed atmosphere.
Ordering Strategy
Start with the Shan pickles and fritters to share, then order a mix of salads and curries for the table; definitely save room for the milk tea dessert.
What to order
Tea Leaf Salad
The brand's essential signature and a 'textural masterpiece' of pickled tea, double fried beans, and garlic oil that critics describe as a 'level of impact' dish.
King Prawn Sipyan
A rich, muscular curry with prawns 'big like a muscular fist' and ruby-coloured oil pooling in the bowl, making it 'hard to feel out of charity with the world' while eating it.
Bubble Waffle Paratha
A playful dessert that you drag through 'frothy, sweet milk tea foam'; reviewers noted it vanishes in 'sub-one minute'.
Shan Pickles
Ranked as the most important arrival dish by critics, this 'mildly obsessive' bowl of crunch is the perfect companion to the restaurant's betel leaf margaritas.
