About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for groups
  • Healthy
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.

    Fabulous restaurant with a great choice of wine, including a well-rounded Riesling from the Salta region in Argentina. Food was delicious and the upstairs terrace seating is fantastic on a summer evening. Highly recommended.

    Second time here, and the food was just as excellent as the first time! Very friendly staff, quick service, and the tastes are absolutely fabulous! Also very nice to be able to order small and large plates to share, so one gets to taste more - we had a party of 4, and everyone got to taste everything. Definitely recommend.

    Interesting menu of Burmese dishes - we shared the dishes among the group so that we could try more dishes. The food was good but the desserts were amazing. Booking is advised if you want to be seated in your own private table rather than share the high bench.

    Excellent experience. First time trying Burmese food- it was delicious. Thank you for not kicking us out after 1.5 hours like so many restaurants do now. It didn’t feel rushed- it was a nice experience. Thank you

    A poor version of the Lahpet in Shoreditch (which is great btw). Lacked the atmosphere and buzz, our downstairs seats were too near to the front door so regular draughty breeze every time someone arrived. Food was surprisingly spicy, even on the dishes without chilli’s that we’ve previously had at the other restaurant and enjoyed.

    We had a fantastic experience at this lovely restaurant! The food was absolutely amazing—especially the whole fried bream, which was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. We chose this place to celebrate a birthday, and it couldn’t have been a better choice. The service was wonderful, and the staff were so kind and welcoming. We truly enjoyed every moment. Highly recommended!
