Burma
● Enjoy the Burmese New
Year with Our Special, Limited-Edition, Festive Menu From April 11- May 19,
2024
Burma Burma, India’s only Burmese specialty restaurant and
tearoom, welcomes you to a celebration of Thingyan - the Burmese New Year and
harvest festival. Enjoy a sumptuous meal of Burmese home-style, festive dishes
and refreshing beverages from our limited edition, Thingyan Festival menu on offer from April 11 - May 19, 2024 for dine-in only, at our restaurants in
Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad. Thingyan - also
known as the Water Festival, is characterised by the playful act of water
splashing, symbolizing purification and washing away of the old to make way for
the new. The festivities extend beyond Burma's borders, aligning with New Year
and harvest celebrations across Asia. During this auspicious time, the native
Burmese Padauk flower, an integral
part of the celebrations, blooms and its vibrant hues mirror the exuberance of
the Thingyan Festival. This spring, Burma Burma brings this exuberance alive
with a specially-curated festive menu that captures the very soul of the joyous
celebration and the culinary diversity of Yangon. Community
eating has always been at the heart of Burmese as with other Asian cultures
and no festival is complete without feasting with your loved ones. The special, dine-in menu comprises an array of
small plates bursting with authentic Burmese spices, and a selection of sweet
indulgences that leave you craving for more. Every bite of our festive feast is
a symphony of taste and tradition. The centrepiece of the Thingyan Festival
celebration at Burma Burma is the 'Village Set,' a culinary symphony for two,
that brings people together over a selection of delectable, traditional Burmese
dishes arranged beautifully on a flat, cane basket, fostering a sense of
community and bonding. The dishes
include the zesty Sweet Lime and Shallot
Salad, Assorted Fries Platter,
the Peppery Tofu & Onion Stir fry to be enjoyed with flaky Palata, the traditional Pumpkin
& Broad Bean Curry to be savoured with hearty Coconut Rice and Roselle
& Mushroom Stir Fry along with an array of delightful relishes. Also available to order as individual small
plates – these dishes are sure to add a festive flavour to your favourites from
our ala carte menu. Adding to the festive spirit is a selection of specially
crafted, refreshing beverages including Twilight,
Plum Sour, El Dragon and Musk.
And like every festival – Thingyan too has its sweet indulgences
including Banana Sanwin Makin, the
refreshing Lemon Poppy seed Ice cream
and Mont Lone Yay Paw – the
traditional Thingyan sweet of glutinous rice flour dumplings filled with palm
jaggery and topped with shredded coconut! So welcome the New Year and indulge
in our festive menu with friends and family at Burma Burma in Mumbai (Fort
& Goregaon), Delhi NCR (DLF Mall of India - Noida, Cyber Hub-Gurugram and

Burma Burma, an ode to the people and culture
of Burma, is an introduction to its cuisine in a modern and eclectic way,
amalgamating traditional flavours with contemporary interpretations. Each year,
the culinary team delves a little deeper into Burma’s history and culture to
bring its most cherished native food to your table. This Thingyan Festival menu
is packed with fresh ingredients and the
vibrant flavours of home-style Burmese cooking. It’s inspired by the team’s travel
to Burma and their experience of dining together with local communities at a
Thingyan celebration in Yangon. The city of Yangon, in Lower Burma, located at
the convergence of the Yangon and Bago rivers, is a melting pot of different
ethnicities. Its culinary landscape too is equally diverse with offerings from various regional and tribal communities, with deep
influences from its colonial and migrant cuisine. In the Thingyan Festival
menu, our chefs have tried to capture this very essence of Burmese cuisine,
selecting dishes that showcase its incredible culinary diversity. At the
heart of this year’s celebrations is the ‘Village Set’ - a sharing meal for
two, comprising a perfect assortment of small plates from the Thingyan Festival
menu, served on a large, flat cane basket.
The Village Set menu covers different elements of a typical Burmese
meal, starting with a salad and ending with a sweet. Each of the dishes
showcases either an ingredient or a cooking style of Burmese cuisine, with each
complementing the other for a complete experience. As you savour each dish,
you'll immerse yourself in lively conversation, sharing stories and laughter
with those closest to you. It's more than just a meal – it's an experience that
nourishes the body, mind, and soul.
According to Ankit Gupta, Co-Founder, Burma
Burma, “The Thingyan Festival is a time for celebrations and renewal, and what
better way to usher it in than with a celebratory menu that transports you to
Yangon in the heart of Burma. Our
specially curated menu and vibrant atmosphere aim to capture the essence of
this joyous occasion, fostering a sense of community and sharing. Let's welcome
the new year together, with open hearts
and delicious food!"
Begin your feast with the zesty Sweet
Lime & Shallot Salad, a delicious combination of sweet lime, garlic
oil, roasted gram flour, lime, shallot, crushed green chillies and peanuts.
Inspired by a freshly tossed lime salad eaten by the Burma Burma team at a
cafeteria in Bogyoke Aung San Market or Scott Market in Yangon where locals
flock for lunch on a working day. This is the perfect appetizer to awaken your
taste buds. Continue with the Assorted
Fries Platter, featuring mock-mince samusa, sweet potato tempura, and
rice crackers – a crunchy trio that pays homage to the Burmese love for
fritters and snacky bites. The Peppery Tofu & Onion Stir Fry – takes
you on a journey of slow-cooked caramelized onions with lemon leaves, soy, and
crushed pepper, finished with seared tofu chunks. A savoury delight showcasing
the mastery of the Bamar cooking style. Experience the comfort of the Shallow-Fried
Palata, a soft, flaky, and layered delight.
Coconut Rice also traditionally known as Ohn Hatmin, a ceremonial dish served on
special occasions, made with fragrant short- rice cooked with raisins and
onions in fresh coconut milk. The rice pairs perfectly with the light and
flavourful Pumpkin & Broad Bean Curry,
- a version of Sebiyan from the Shan
state, where yellow Pumpkin and broad bean grow widely. This curry is cooked with shallots, coconut,
and chilli, celebrating popular Burmese vegetables and legumes. Explore the
bold flavours of the Roselle & Mushroom Stir Fry, a
dish from the Chin tribe, where sour roselle leaves and mushrooms are
stir-fried with garlic, bird's eye chilli, and turmeric – a true testament to
the Burmese love for sour notes. Finally, indulge your sweet tooth with the
traditional Banana Sanwin Makin, a traditional Burmese semolina cake served
at special feasts, with banana and strawberry, baked in coconut cream, and
topped with poppy seeds, offering a perfect conclusion to your meal. Complete
your culinary journey with the refreshing Lemon Poppy Seed Ice Cream, a
citrusy delight with black poppy seeds, whipped cream, and mint. As a special
treat, enjoy our complimentary Mont Lone Yay Paw, a traditional
Thingyan sweet made with glutinous rice flour dumplings filled with palm
jaggery and topped with shredded coconut – a festive delight shared among
communities in Burma.
Pair your meal with specially crafted
beverages: Twilight, a tropical
blend of house-made mango puree, coconut, Yakult, shredded coconut, and fizz, Plum
Sour, a delightful drink with tangy plum puree, lime, ginger ale, and
black grass jelly, El
Dragon, a light concoction made with exotic dragon fruit, coconut
water, litchi water and elderflower syrup, and nata de coco and Musk, a
refreshing mix of muskmelon with honey and lavender white tea cold brew,
adorned with poppy seeds. As the festivities unfold, indulge in a culinary
journey that mirrors the richness of Burmese traditions and the
interconnectedness of Asian cultures. Join Burma Burma in celebrating Thingyan
with open hearts, good company, and a feast that reflects the joy of the Lunar
New Year.
About Burma Burma Founded in 2014 by childhood friends, Chirag
Chhajer and Ankit Gupta, Burma Burma (Hunger Pangs Pvt. Ltd.) currently owns
ten restaurants across Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Ahmedabad &
Hyderabad. The concept hails from Gupta's Burmese roots. His mother and her
family who were brought up in Myanmar had a great influence, expanding his food
platter with heady flavours of Burmese cuisine. The brand is an amalgamation of
the two biggest forces in Ankit’s life, his father’s lineage of restaurateurs
and the treasured family recipes from his mother’s heritage. Armed with the
concept and design, he approached his friend Chirag Chhajer, a food enthusiast,
and an avid traveller to bring Burmese food to Indian tables. But Burma Burma
is more than a restaurant. It is a wholesome and innovative dining experience
and a holistic experience of Burma in terms of food, culture, and happiness.
