It blows me away that no matter how many times I try Inlay Burmese Kitchen, I feel like I am having the very best meal on earth. We ordered some items to eat for lunch and then some items to take home for later. I ordered the shrimp and eggplant curry and the palatha flatbread to accompany. It is really difficult to describe the flavor profile. Rich, tangy, full of umami??????? Please just get any dish on the menu and this is the experience you will have. My husband gets C2 (Basil Chicken) every time. This time he said he could have drunk the leftover broth. Well, he got the chance when he ordered a C2 to go! LOL! I ordered the chili lamb for my to go order and it was unbelievably delicious and seasoned perfectly. This restaurant is absolutely spic and span EVERY time we are here. Clean throughout and clean restrooms. This is a family owned restaurant and whoever takes your order is probably one of the owner's children. Such neat people and a dining experience. read more

Parking: Plenty, strip mall Ambience: Casual and cozy It's an experience, salad dishes are good. Ordered: 1) Garlic noodle - blend 2) Crispy tofu with veggie fillings - good 3) E10 Steamed fish in banana leaves - meh, could be more fresh. What it takes to be 4 star and above is after the first bite, you want another bite and more, followed by texting your friends and family to try it. read more

Service was really nice and we loved all three dishes we ordered. Tea leaf salad was full of texture and delicious. Pork in curry sauce was sooo tender and the sham noodles were flavorful. Would highly recommend! read more

If you have never had Burmese food, I would describe it as a cross between Indian food and Thai food. San Francisco has long been known for some of the best and earliest Burmese restaurants in the country. While Burma Superstar is very famous and quite good, my personal favorite has always been Mandalay on California Street. Since moving to Texas, I have found it challenging to discover well reviewed and interesting independent restaurants. I was at the Marshalls a block away and searched Yelp for lunch nearby. This place is tucked in a strip mall across the street and you could almost miss it, but I am so glad I found it. I would love to return with friends to try a variety of dishes, but on this visit I was just looking for a lighter, quick lunch. I ordered the paratha bread which comes with a mall side of curry (this was in the appetizer section of the menu) It was not inexpensive at about $15, but it was worth it. The food came out piping hot. The bread was perfectly crispy and chewy, and if you have never tried this style of bread, you definitely should. The curry was flavorful with potatoes and a bit of chicken, just the right amount for dipping. I left feeling pleasantly full and very happy. I do wonder if it gets busy for dinner. It would be great if they offered lunch specials with a curry choice and bread or rice and maybe a veg, but either way, I will be back. read more

Inlay Burmese Kitchen - Under the appetizer section. A perfect lunch for 1 the paratha (served with a little chicken curry) - Burmese Near Me - Lewisville, Texas

After a pickleball session with one of my Indonesian friends, he suggested we hit this place and refuel. Of course, like most Americans I am not exactly sure where Burma is (partly because it is now called Myanmar). My geographic deficiency aside, we met up at this place in Lewisville near Music City Mall (off MacArthur and Round Grove). It is a small and simple place. Entry is interesting as it has a closed space from the outer door, and then another door to enter the dining area. I could see some people having to try really hard to open the outer door and we could feel a rush of air at our table as they entered the inner door. But the place is clean and still has a hole in the wall feel. Menu is all broad and since it was my first visit, I asked the waiter for recommendations. He is a nice young man who was more than happy to answer questions. I went with his recommendation of curry and chose pork as the protein. Even on a relatively hot day, I was glad I went with his suggestions. Really wonderful taste and I imagine if I was from Burma this might qualify as simple down-home cooking. For me, a guy who grew up as a meat and potatoes fan, this hits the spot. The pork cuts are thick and tender, with nice fat edges for flavor and texture. Melt in your mouth kind of stuff. The curry was not spicy so safe for those with tender palates; but there is a healthy dose of chili oil and red peppers at the table to fix it up your own way. I like this method vs guessing numbers 1-5 on how spicy you want it to be....LOL. Food came out in about 8 mins or so; first mine, then a minute or two later my buddy's. This dish comes with jasmine rice, but you can also pay up $4 for different styles of rice; I went with the jasmine and it was just fine. Expanding on that thought, the one thing about this place is the higher price, which to me takes it a little bit out of the value zone. No doubt the curry is flavorful and might make you want to take a nap afterwards, but this dish goes for $18.99 which put the tab in the $25 range after a 20% tip. A little high for lunch in my opinion. This price for slow-cooked pork, potatoes, garlic, onion, turmeric, paprika, and fish sauce seems a little on the high side; but to be fair everybody's prices are getting higher. I felt it was worth the try and was rewarded for going with great food...the value just isn't there for me in the future. read more

First time having Burmese food and it was very delicious! Tea leaf salad is a popular Burmese dish others have ordered, and it was very tasty and kind of crunchy from the peanuts and seeds. The Inlay tea leaf salad was salty probably from the fish sauce but still good. It was also kind of expensive for a salad but I think it's worth it for the experience and taste. The mango chicken curry was also delicious and interesting bc I've never had sweet yet savory curry before. The service was great, and I didn't wait long for the food. There weren't a lot of people inside so there's a lot of available seats. read more

Can I say "hole in the wall"?? My husband and I were super hesitant to even walk in! It was around 6pm on a Monday and they didn't have a single customer. The restaurant itself is fairly small but decorated very nicely so we decided to be adventurous and give it a shot. 1st time trying Burmese food and it kind of reminded me of thai food mixed with indian food. Although, as soon as I had a drink of their authentic Burmese tea and a taste of their coconut soup I was hooked! It was SO delicious and the flavors were outstanding! Unfortunately, there was a small cashew that somehow made its way into my soup which I had a reaction to, because of my nut allergy. There are many nut/cashew items on the menu and I am super hesitant to return since this happened. The waiter, Nolan, was super friendly though, so the service is great. It sounded like a family run business since he mentioned his mom makes the recipes. I would say give this place a try and support a local business! read more

First time eating Burmese food and it was a great experience. They have a pretty vast menu with lots of things that sound good but we ended up ordering the Inlay tea leaf salad, Burmese curry with lamb, and Oh No Kauswe (coconut chicken noodle soup). The tea leaf salad was very flavorful and had great textures with the cabbage, nuts, and split peas. It was a great palate cleanser with some of the more flavorful dishes like the curry which was delicious. The lamb was very tender and curry was loaded with flavor. The coconut noodle soup was also very heartwarming and creamy. Though first eating Burmese food, there were a lot of familiar flavors from Indian, Chinese, and Southeast Asian cuisine while still being unique. Can't wait to try more of the menu. read more

Highly recommend Inlay Burmese Kitchen! I've eaten here quite a few times already and have introduced friends to Burmese cuisine and they have all loved the food here as well! I have eaten quite a variety of dishes here and have not been disappointed by any of them so far. The Inlay tea leaf salad is always a must. This last time, we tried the paratha with coconut chicken curry - paratha was crispy and flaky, curry was delicious albeit a bit sweet but went well with the coconut milk. We also had the pork pumpkin stew which you could tell had been slow cooked for a long time. The flavors all melded together so well, the sauce was thick and rich, and the pork was so tender. Everything also goes well with their coconut rice!! And I always end my meal with their hot milk tea which reminds me so much of my beloved Hong Kong milk tea. Service is always good, and the restaurant is always clean and has traditional Burmese decor with wooden table mats to add to the ambiance. Love this place! read more

Inlay Burmese Kitchen - A4. Palatha and Curry Dip - Burmese Near Me - Lewisville, Texas

This little family owned restaurant has some of the best food I've tried in a while. I don't know if it's Burmese food in general that's this good or if it's just this restaurant. Everything I tasted had so many yummy and balanced flavors without being overly seasoned or salty. I've tried the garlic rice which is the best I've ever tasted. They have a lamb curry that's dark brown in color. Is different than other currys I've tasted before; more mildly savory compared to Indian or Thai curry. My favorite dish was the calamari! It's a little spicy because of the jalapeños but also well seasoned. The service was friendly and very fast, making for a fast and enjoyable dining experience, so it's a good stop for dinner or for a quick lunch. I'm glad to see that there are still some mom and pop gems around in Lewisville. read more

Just tried this spot for the first time and I loved it. We ordered the chilli lamb with coconut rice. Delicious and very flavorful. They did not skimp on the lamb. It was so tender and seasoned so well. My boyfriend got the pumpkin chicken stew to try something very new and we surprisingly loved it too. And the with the Burmese indian rice with was so herby and flavorful with so much depth. The service was wonderful. Food came out fast and hot. We are definitely coming back. read more

Wow!!! So cool to have such a variety of cuisines here in the Dallas metro area. Drove to this and so worth it! -Good price. -Tons of parking because it's part of a shopping plaza. apps: -the sweet chili sauce that comes with the fried tofu is literally perfect. -the Samosas have a lot of potato in them that is SO much more satisfying than other places (such as the all-too-common 100% ground-beef samosa) THANK YOU! entrees: -Get the coconut noodle soup!! It is one of more common dishes of Myanmar Berma(from what I've read), and it was so decadent that we ordered one To-Go! We couldn't believe how good it was, but I'm also just a huge fan of coconut curries in general. -the mango chicken was great too, definitely looked like a (dare i say) japanese curry. I love the entryway with lots of plants, very beautiful and refreshing. Can't wait to bring more people here! read more

This was my first Burmese cuisine experience. For those that may not be aware. Burma is located between Thailand and India. The cuisine is a mix of both countries. As a fan of Thai and Indian dishes, the food was soo good. The samosas were top tier. The veggie coconut curry was full of flavor and spices. Would for sure recommend and visit again! read more

The family decided to try a cuisine we had not previously experienced so we headed over to Inlay Burmese Kitchen. We are so glad we did, it is completely tasty and awesome! The gentleman working was super friendly and informative about all the dishes and provided great service. We had the Myeik Pan Fried Noodles, Adam Tea Leaf Salad, and the Beef Curry. The salad was great with a combination of sweet flavor from the apples a d a sour punch from the seasonings. There were also some crunchy bits in the salad that took it over the top. The Noodles were another highlight with an excellent preparation and flavor. The Beef was perfectly cooked, but I would have loved more of the punchy flavors of the other dishes. We are already looking forward to another trip to this local gem. If you are in the area you owe it to yourself to stop in. Familiarity with Burmese food is not required, the team here is happy to assist you. read more

I wanted to give this place a try, but have had better Burmese food before. Ordered the tea leaf salad, Burmese curry, and fisherman's stew to go. Tea leaf salad tasted great, but there was so much dressing that the salad felt drenched. Burmese curry also tasted good, but the meat was so dry and tough. Finally, fisherman's stew was good and had plenty of seafood in it! read more

Stopped by Inlay Burmese Kitchen for dinner earlier this week and my oh my was the food great. When you arrive the restaurant is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking out front. We were seated an ordered the Burmese Samosas (Triangular hand wrapped and filled with potato, onion, mint leaf, green beans, spiced and garlic chili sauce), the Inlay Tea Leaf Salad (Burmese traditional way of mixture with cabbage, fish sauce, garlic, red chili, garlic chips, beans, peanuts, yellow split pea, green split pea, sesame seed, sunflower seed, tomato, jalapeno, and lime), a side of palatha (buttery bread), and the Mandalay Pork Curry (Pork slow-cooked with garlic, onion, ginger, paprika, vinegar, sugar, Burmese bean paste, fish sauce, and dry chili). All of the dishes had amazing flavors and were very good. I can't wait to return to Inlay in the future. read more

This was our first time at Inlay and at a Burmese restaurant. It was empty at 4 pm on a Friday and we were quickly attended to by the young man at the counter. It is a nice, clean space with lots of decoration and seating. We got a Burmese tea which was SO good - it was like a hot version of a Thai tea, but with a more toasty, almost marshmellow-ey flavor. Absolutely delicious and I really want to try to make it myself! I had the mushroom and vegetables plate which came in a ginger-y, savory sauce that was so satisfying to the umami craving I had. My husband had the mango chicken which he absolutely loved too - such a unique way of creating savory dishes with mango. I honestly wish we could have tried everything on the menu because it all sounded delicious, but I was so full after just the one plate! We don't live in the area so not sure if we'll be able to come back, but I wish we could and I wish they would open a location in Austin! read more

This restaurant is conveniently located close to I-35 in Lewisville. Have to admit this was my first time eating Burmese food. Yelpers strongly recommended their Tea Leaf Salad and any of their curries. I tried their Burmese hot tea (contains both condensed & evaporated milk), Burmese Beef curry (has potatoes, not sweet, no coconut milk), and a spicy rice noodle dish with chicken (comes with soup). All tasted good. This is a family-owned restaurant with really friendly staff. It is a relaxed atmosphere where you see They recommended next time to try their seafood entrees like whole fish. Go give them a try. read more

This tastes like the food we had in Burma. The menu is extensive and we ate so much we staggered out. Crispy tofu with featherback fish - sort of like a tofu sandwich. Small triangles filled with lots of delicious textures. Stringbeans with lemongrass and shrimp Coconut noodle soup and our all time favorite sour vegetable chinbaum with shrimp. We can't get Burmese food anywhere close to where we live. It's a big city thing. We might just have to change our flight home next week and go again. Service was fantastic and we had some nice conversations about recipes. It's very different flavors to other Asian food, try it! read more

This is the first time I have ever eaten Burmese food. I arrived at the restaurant around 5:10pm on a Friday. I was the only customer there. There were about twelve tables and chairs for about thirty-six to forty people. The ambiance was pleasant. Burmese decorations were not everywhere but it was definitely flavored with Burmese culture/images. I had seen pictures online of Pork Curry so I ordered that. It was delicious! I ate the entire dish--the curry and the rice. It is a little tough to see, but there are also potatoes in the curry. The dish was not spicy; it was actually kind of sweet. I should have asked for some bread to help get every last bit of the curry. The staff in the front of the restaurant was kind. He was a young man (somewhat recent graduate of high school) who is Burmese-American and his favorite dish is actually Pork Curry. He was attentive to my table. I will definitely return. FYI: I gave the restaurant four stars because I believe five-stars are warranted for truly fantastic, out-of-this world restaurants. read more

We stopped in for an early supper. We were the only folks in the place, but I am sure it picked up after we left. The service was good. Small. Pleasant. I had the chicken curry, and was quite pleased. The taste was good. Portion size was reasonable. The reasons for four stars rather than five? Could have used some sort of bread -- naan. I was looking forward to lamb, but was sad to hear that at 4:30 on a Friday afternoon they were out. Will I go back. Almost undoubtedly. I do recommend the place, but it was only above average, not fabulous. read more

We've ordered here a couple of times now and both times we have really loved the food. Back in Maryland, we would always go to our favorite Burmese restaurant at least once every two weeks. When we moved back to Texas we were worried that we wouldn't find the same kinds of flavors. And while Inlay is different than our beloved Mandalay in Silver Springs, this place is just so flavorful that it would hurt to give anything less than a 5 stars here. We've tried their Myeik Pan-Fried noodles, Mango Salad, pork curry and their Shan noodle. Everything has been delicious. All of the ingredients taste clean and incredibly fresh. You can really tell they care about the food here and really try hard to give you the best. read more

Went to a spontaneous trip to Inlay Burmese Kitchen the other day with a friend. We both haven't tried any Burmese food before, so it was a first for the two of us and I was pretty excited! The vibe was immediately homey and comforting as there were a few people there and the owner I believe rose up from one of the tables and let us sit wherever we were comfortable. We sat in one of the half booth seats and we took a long time to order, but the server was so nice! I think he might have been the son, it seemed like a family owned place. We didn't know anything about Burmese food, so we asked him a bunch of questions. We ordered A1 Burmese Samosas (Triangular hand wrapped and filled with potato, onion, mint leaf, green beans, spiced and garlic chili sauce), O1 Moe Hin Ga (Fish chowder noodle soup. National dish of Burma that is a comfort noddle soup dish slowly cooked together with fish, onion, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, fish sauce, and turmeric, sided with boiled egg, fried split pea, coriander, fresh onion, and lemon), and B2 Coconut Curry with Beef (Inlay special coconut creamy curry). For the samosas, I would recommend definitely dipping into the soy sauce or whatever sauce it was, and the fish soup to squeeze all the lime to help with the flavor. Honestly, they were all tasty with different flavors and I think we were able to order dishes that were different but matched in a way. The server did a great job of helping us indecisive folks pick. I would definitely come again to try some different Burmese dishes and diversify my palate! read more
