Restaurant India News: Burma Burma Opens Third Mumbai Outlet at Palladium Mall’s Gourmet Village

Burma Burma, India’s only speciality Burmese cuisine restaurant and tea-room, has opened its third Mumbai outlet at Gourmet Village in Palladium Mall, Lower Parel. Founded in 2014 by restaurateurs and childhood friends Chirag Chhajer and Ankit Gupta under Hunger Pangs Pvt. Ltd., the new restaurant is the brand’s 15th location across the country.

Spread across 2,888 square feet with a seating capacity of 106, the new outlet draws design inspiration from ancient Burmese caves. The interiors aim to reflect the depth and texture of Burma’s cultural landscape while maintaining a balance between heritage and contemporary elements.

The new location introduces a small plates menu featuring bold flavours in a more compact and exploratory format. This marks a shift toward a more experimental offering, aimed at giving customers a wider variety of tastes in one sitting. Complementing the food is a Zero-Proof Cocktail menu, a non-alcoholic beverage list curated to pair well with the strong umami profiles typical of Burmese cuisine. This beverage direction reflects growing consumer interest in alcohol-free dining experiences while maintaining a premium feel.

Additionally, the outlet features a kombucha and bubble tea bar, catering to evolving beverage trends among urban diners. These additions reflect the brand’s effort to diversify its offerings and appeal to a younger, health-conscious audience without compromising on authenticity.

Desserts have also received a reimagining under the new section titled ‘The Sweet Life’, where traditional Burmese dessert inspirations are integrated with global techniques. These new dishes are designed to extend the dining experience beyond the main course, offering a refined end to the meal.

Burma Burma’s expansion into Palladium Mall is seen as a strategic move to strengthen its presence in a high-footfall, premium retail environment. The restaurant’s entry into the Gourmet Village aligns with a broader trend of F&B brands targeting luxury retail spaces to access a more affluent and experience-driven customer base.

With its newest location, Burma Burma continues to position itself as a key player in the niche ethnic cuisine segment, offering a non-alcoholic, vegetarian dining experience rooted in traditional Burmese culinary practices while adapting to modern preferences.
