ABOUT BURMA

BURMA Founded in 2014 by childhood friends, Chirag Chhajer & Ankit Gupta, Burma Burma (Hunger Pangs Pvt. Ltd.) currently owns nine restaurants across Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Bangalore, Kolkata and Ahmedabad. The concept hails from Gupta's Burmese roots. His mother and her family who were brought up in Myanmar had a great influence, expanding his food platter with heady flavours of Burmese cuisine. The brand is an amalgamation of the two biggest forces in Ankit’s life, his father’s lineage of restaurateurs and the treasured family recipes from his mother’s heritage. Armed with the concept and design he approached his friend Chirag Chhajer, a food enthusiast, and an avid traveller to bring Burmese food to Indian tables. But Burma Burma is more than a restaurant. It is a wholesome and innovative dining experience and a holistic experience in Burma in terms of food, culture, and happiness.
