eat in, eat out Lahpet

As one of few restaurants offering Burmese cuisine in London, Lahpet changed the culinary scene when it opened its first permanent location in Shoreditch in 2018. Now, with a second site in Covent Garden, co-founder Dan Anton and head chef Zaw Mahesh – both of Burmese heritage – aim to draw even more attention to the varied dishes of Myanmar.

The menu comprises shareable small plates such as sweetcorn and shallot fritters, black tiger prawn skewers and grilled aubergine (see recipe, opposite)
