About Burma Love

Burma Love is a lively restaurant that offers a taste of Burmese cuisine. The atmosphere can be loud and bustling, especially during peak hours, but the service remains efficient, and the waiters are knowledgeable about the menu. The restaurant is popular for its shared platters, making it a great place for family-style meals. Their lazy susan tables accommodate larger groups, enhancing the communal experience.

The menu features a variety of flavorful dishes, including favorites like the tea leaf salad, chicken curry with chickpeas, and ginger salad. Appetizers such as honey glazed chicken wings, platha with dip, and crispy salt & pepper calamari are highly recommended. For a heartier meal, the pumpkin pork stew, eggplant and daikon curry, and samosas are crowd-pleasers. Recent reviews praise the delicious drinks, appetizers, and vibrant atmosphere, with the Burma superstar mocktail noted for its pretty presentation and great taste. The sizzling shrimp appetizer is considered a highlight, and many guests appreciate the wide range of gluten-free options. The location inside a beautiful building adds to the overall experience. The menu also includes items like fresh young coconut water, which can be enjoyed with the coconut meat afterward, ginger lemonade, rainbow salad with 22 ingredients, paratha with dip, and Burmese style eggplant red curry. Although Burma Love can be on the pricier side, the generous portions make it worth sharing with a group.

Recent reviews highlight excellent service, especially at the bar, where staff deliver hospitable and friendly service. However, some guests experienced long wait times despite reservations, which can affect the overall experience, particularly during busy times. One guest noted that the fried whole fish they ordered tasted muddy and earthy, indicating it may not have been fresh or of good quality that day. Still, dishes like the tea leaf salad and stir fry beef remained delicious as usual. Overall, Burma Love continues to be a trendy spot for tasty food and drinks, with a warm and lively atmosphere, though it’s recommended to visit during less busy times for the best experience.
