Urban Burma - Aurora

This place has 5 stars with over 200 reviews so I wanted to try it. Burmese food…didn’t know what to expect. The man who took our order was very helpful and recommended the below dishes. All were great! The dipping sauce with the samosa added a great flavor to the other dishes as well. We also got green curry with chicken and Thai-style iced milk tea with lunch. At around $50 for everything, it was a good value. I’d come back here.

The reviews do not lie, the food here is fantastic. $14 after tax for a sampler plate. The tea salad was amazing, and I’m not even a big salad guy. It was crunchy, spicy, and savory, with a uniquely delicious blend of flavors.

Satisfying texture and flavors. Samosas were outstanding with tightly wrapped, perfectly crisp exterior and a spiced pillowy filling. Had a dipping sauce for an astringent counterbalance. Beef Curry had a savory depth. Ono Kao Sweh was soft and soothing and a lovely presentation with a hard boiled egg. Food came out fast and piping hot. Note: We have a nut allergy and spoke to chef and he was able to omit peanuts from sauces and garnish on everything but tealeaf salad. They cook with canola oil, not peanut oil. They have a small sink where one can wash hands. There are more than a dozen tables to sit at socially-distanced inside the food hall. What a gem.

Delicious and fantastic service. Got the Pae Paratha, Shan Noodles, Beef Curry and Tea Leaf Salad. All delicious. So glad to have authentic Burmese food in Denver.

I have about the diversity of international food in the Mango House (the complex that houses urban burma) and especially urban burma, so I came to check it. behind the building there is a parking lot, and there are also street parking spaces in front. urban burma is the first restaurant on the left side when they come from the road. the cash register was friendly and helpful with the menu. the taste of the food was good, but the noodles were overcooked, and the hunch was too dry. they do spicy levels of 1-5, and the 4 was pretty sharp. I tried the Burmese icestee, which was similar to the Thai icestock in taste. most of the other reviews are great, so maybe I had an experience.
