Founders, Dan & head chef Zaw, both have Burmese heritage and are the driving forces behind the concept which was cultivated and received critical acclaim at its hackney warehouse site during 2017. Lahpet’s first permanent site opened in Shoreditch in 2018 and was followed by a second in London’s West End in 2022; its most recent site, Lahpet Larder, opened in Bermondsey in 2024.

We were a party of 8 and had made a booking. Attentive staff and the food was excellent. Restaurant wasn't full but busy enough for a good atmosphere. Food and drink reasonably priced, we all agreed we would return.

We had an early evening meal as we were going to a show. The restaurant was fairly quiet for a Friday evening, not sure why as the food is good and the menu is perfect for groups. I had the veggie mousakka and my husband had the chicken shish, both of which were perfectly tasty but I think the meze options would have been more interesting if we’d had more time for grazing.

A great venue, away from the hustle and bustle of Borough Market. Menu changes every few weeks. My favourite starter is the scotch egg (divine!), sausage and mash always good. Pear crumble dessert is fab. The outstanding thing about the restaurant is its staff who are so professional and knowledgeable.
