Lahpet is one of London’s only restaurants to specialise in authentic Burmese cooking. Aiming to shine a light on this relatively untapped cuisine, Lahpet has been popularising the flavours of Myanmar by presenting its guests with regional specialities and Burmese staple dishes with a hint of refinement and contemporary flair. Founders, Dan & head chef Zaw, both have Burmese heritage and are the driving forces behind the concept which was cultivated and received critical acclaim at its hackney warehouse site during 2017. Lahpet’s first permanent site opened in Shoreditch in 2018 and was followed by a second in London’s West End in 2022; its most recent site, Lahpet Larder, opened in Bermondsey in 2024.
