Restaurant India News: Burma Burma Introduces Monsoon-Exclusive Burmese Tea Shop Menu in Six Cities

This September, Burma Burma is rolling out a new limited-edition menu across its restaurants in India. Titled “From Burma, With Tea,” the offering recreates the Burmese Tea Shop experience from September 1 to 30, 2025.

The initiative focuses on one of Burma’s most ingrained cultural traditions—tea shops, where conversations, community, and meals unfold throughout the day. The menu highlights Burmese Pulled Teas, both hot and iced, paired with snack plates and hearty bowls designed for sharing.

At the center of the menu is the traditional Burmese Milk Tea, a blend of black tea, condensed milk, and evaporated milk. Other hot options include the Yangon Royal Tea, layered with cream, and the Creamy Bagan Tea, influenced by the markets of Bagan. Cold beverages feature the Iced Milk Tea with milk foam and the Coconut Iced Tea blended with coconut milk and custard.

Ankit Gupta, Founder, Burma Burma, said, “Burmese Tea Shops are living, breathing spaces of culture, community, and culinary richness, where friendships brew and stories simmer over endless cups of steaming Burmese Milk Tea or Laphet Yay. This menu is particularly close to my heart. After years of travelling through Burma, sipping tea in roadside stalls and bustling tea houses, we knew we had to bring that experience to our diners — but in our own Burma Burma way.”

The teas are paired with a variety of savory and sweet dishes that reflect Burmese tea shop traditions. Key highlights include:

• Chin State Potato Croquettes – crisp bites filled with five-spice mock meat, served with spring salad and preserved black bean dip.
• Corner Cart Skewers – pan-seared mock meatballs with a sticky chili glaze.
• Cracklin’ Burmese Dumplings – edamame and shiitake filling, seasoned with curry powder and served with mustard-chili dip.
• Seared Tofu and Avocado Salad – tofu, avocado, tomatoes, and scallions tossed in chili-garlic oil and lime.
• Tea Shop Noodle Bowl – udon noodles in a slow-cooked onion-chili curry, topped with roasted chili and crispy wheat flakes.
• Tea Shop Toast – honey-glazed toast soaked in custard apple milk and finished with clotted cream.

The menu has been designed by Chef Ansab Khan, Head Chef at Burma Burma, after detailed research and collaboration with tea masters in Burma. The aim is to adapt the Burmese Tea Shop model to an Indian dining context while retaining authenticity in both flavors and presentation.

Burma Burma has built its reputation in India as a vegetarian, non-alcoholic dining brand inspired by Burmese cuisine and culture. Its menus often draw on traditional ingredients like laphet (fermented tea leaves), kaffir lime, balachaung peppers, and sunflower seeds. The brand is known for introducing Indian diners to dishes like Oh No Khowsuey, which remains a bestseller across outlets.

With the “From Burma, With Tea” menu, the brand is extending its culinary narrative to highlight tea as both a beverage and cultural anchor, presenting it alongside street-style snacks, salads, and desserts. The promotion is available across all Burma Burma outlets in Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Ahmedabad for the month of September.
