I had never tried Burmese food before until our dinner at the Burman Kitchen the other night. For me Burmese food is like a mix of Indian & Chinese food - very tasty but without the heat.
It’s best to try The Burman Kitchen in a group so you can share the dishes and try as many dishes as possible. which is what we did. The curries were exceptional and we loved the desserts, especially the Burmese Shaved Ice (pictured).
Lastly, the service is warm and friendly and you feel like part of a Burmese family. On Saturday nights there is live music which just added to our enjoyment of the restaurant. #burmankitchen

You don’t get a lot of opportunities in Sydney to eat Burmese food. The Burman Kitchen opened up a couple of years back in Granville, where it was frequented by Sydney’s Burmese community, before making the jump to Surry Hills late last year.

My only regret is not coming here with enough people to order the zakor htamin, which sounded so exciting on the menu! Still had a lovely time though.
