One thing we’d suggest before you pick a spot: If you’ve already had Burmese food in Delhi, don’t make khow suey your automatic order every time. Burma Burma is a good place to go beyond it, while Mohinga — The Taste Of Myanmar is worth looking at when you want to explore the noodle-soup side of the cuisine. The point of having this many Burmese spots in one city is that you don’t have to eat the same meal twice.And if you’re going with friends, use that to your advantage. Order across the menu, keep the khow suey for one person, and let everyone else pick something they haven’t tried before. That’s a much better way to work your way through Burmese food than playing it safe.Download the District App to reserve your table, enjoy the best offers, and discover your next favourite spot.
