Lahpet Shoreditch Menu

Lahpet Shoreditch is a Burmese restaurant at 58 Bethnal Green Road in London. Founders Dan and head chef Zaw both have Burmese heritage, and the Shoreditch dining room became Lahpet’s first permanent site in 2018 after the concept developed through an earlier Hackney warehouse residency.

The menu introduces regional cooking from Myanmar with a contemporary sense of presentation. Its namesake tea leaf salad combines pickled tea with crisp beans and peanuts, cabbage, tomato, chilli and lime. Ginger salad and savoury fritters offer further contrasts of texture and acidity.

Noodle bowls include mohinga, a fragrant fish broth with rice noodles, and coconut noodles with chicken. Slow cooked curries made with beef, duck, prawns or vegetables provide a different route through the menu. Vegan and gluten-free markings help diners navigate many of the dishes.

Feasting menus can be arranged for larger groups, while a limited number of tables remain available for walk-ins. The restaurant also adds a discretionary charitable donation to support healthcare work in Myanmar. Many dishes contain nuts or shellfish, so guests with allergies should speak with staff before ordering.

Address: 58 Bethnal Green Road, London E1 6JW, England
