We had a great dinner here!!! The portions are huge and the outdoor seating area is great for groups. We enjoyed the tea leaf salad, samusa, palutha, chicken noodle soup and the garlic eggplant. Lovely service!

The portions are large and easily serve 2-4 adults The tea salad is terrific as is the lamb. Chicken curry and fried catfish disappointed . The small pitcher of Burma beer is perfect for two.
