UPDATE: this place is closed
Riding through Greams road on a Sunday evening, we spotted a new food joint called Burmese Food Park and hence decided to have our dinner in that place. Its a small place that could barely seat 15 or more, when we reached the spot, all we could spot was 2 ladies at the billing counter. Initially we were skeptical to enter as there were no one around at 9 pm. But something went across our mind and decided to try it, which turned out to be one of the best things for the day.
We got ourselves seated and were provided the menu card, not a elaborate one. You find the usual suspects such as Moinga, Atho that I know off and the rest like Ono Khowsuey, Tami Jhow, Pay Biyo-tami etc. We ordered a Ono Khowsuey and Veg Athow. They served Heinga- a veg soup on the house, it was a clear veg soup with finely shredded cabbage, carrots, coriander and other spices. It had a definitive after taste that makes you want to have more.
Main courses arrived and didnt take long. First was my Ono Khowsuey, served in a bowl. Its Chicken egg noodles in a rich broth made of coconut milk and chicken stock and other aromatics. It also had some fried crispy stuff, man did it taste good.
Veg Athow followed suit, definitely not the one you get in Parrys corner, it was the thick round noodles and had browned onions and mix of other ingredients. To say it tasted good would be an understatement, it tasted divine and heavenly. I usually don't go over board in praises, but there are always exceptions and this place definitely deserve it. Atleast for the food I had.

We asked for the dessert, it was not available. We took a Veg Tami Jhow ( Fried rice), it was good and tasted different. But leagues apart from the above two dishes, had a tinge of bitterness to it from some ingredient.
Overall a very good meal that is tasty filling and doesn't burn a hole in your pocket. Chatted with the owners and found out that they were from Burma and used to cook regularly at home and the idea sprung from there. The joint was opened less than a month ago.

I would definitely recommend this place if you are into Burmese food or basically you love good food. This place dishes out quality food that would leave your taste-buds wanting for more. It certainly did for me and hope it does the same for you. (Note: I am not aware of Burmese cusisine, only that of the stuff from parrys corner)
Total bill came to 265 Rs, the Ono Khowsuey was 100, Athow was 85 and Tami Jhow 80. They accept only cash.
