Urban Burma

Food is delicious, service is very friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is that of a food court. Awesome little food stall in the Mango House were you can find an eclectic mix of food stalls from places you normally don't get to experience very often! Definitely recommend! Everything we tried was on point! The Fermented Tea Leaf Salad was amazing, all the noodle dishes were delicious, the Samosa Soup was savory, and the fried bannana dessert was sweet and satisfying! Great experience for somthing different if you are feeling adventurous in Aroura!

This was my first time trying Burmese food, and I’m blown away!! This spot in Mango House serves very fresh flavors that are delicious and filling, but still not too heavy. The samosas are delicious, especially with the sauce they come with. The nan gyi dok is delicious and very nutty, a flavor I haven’t had before but would definitely eat again!!

The neighborhood may be sketchy, but the food is worth it. My wife is Burmese, and this was our first stop in Denver. Best tofu tot I have ever had. The owners are super nice, and the food is both authentic and delicious. Would definitely recommend this place!

I will be dreaming about this tea leaf salad and the ginger tea. 🤩 this is a fast-casual piece of Burma right here in Denver. I appreciated that the tofu and the stir fry came out piping hot. I look forward to coming back again soon

Popped in the Mango House and Urban Burma after a doctor appointment at Anschutz. Super friendly service and the owner recommended the Shan noodles, which is probably best described as a warm hug - this is a dish I would ask for when I have a cold - reminded me of a relative of pho but had its own bright, unique and Burmese flavors coming through! Only negative is this is a 40 min drive from home but I can’t wait to come back to try other dishes (and the other stalls at Mango House).

Located inside of Mango House, this is a hidden gem. Absolutely amazing food, friendly service. I keep meaning to take photos of our food but it gets inhaled too quickly. We typically do takeout, but eating in at Mango House or any of the restaurants in the international food hall is a beautiful cultural immersion that very approachable and welcoming. Mango House also has a great mission and does a lot of good in our community. Urban Burma is also remarkably fast for takeout. My go to is Ono Kao Sweh. (“Yellow wheat noodles and chicken in a coconut broth topped with cilantro, red onions, and boiled egg.”) my family each have their own favorites including vegetable Curry, fried rice, golden triangle tofu (app), Nan gyi Dak (“Gluten-free. Thick rice noodles and curried chicken topped with boiled egg, cilantro, lime, and crispy fried onions. Broth on the side.”)

The food was absolutely delicious! The tea leaf salad was really crunchy, salty, and so tasty! We will be back soon to try more.

Burmese food is an interesting amalgam of cooking styles from the Indian subcontinent and more Eastern styles. This place has fantastic food, great service and reasonable prices. I recommend this restaurant to everyone.

The food here is simply amazing! I had never had Burmese before and the gentleman who took our order was clearly very passionate about Burmese food and told us all about it. He was so so delightful. The food was excellent! The crispy tofu appetizer was outstanding. The breading on it is so flaky. It's amazing! Wish we lived nearby because we'd eat here again and again and again!

FOOD: 5/5 Ono kao sweh (vegetarian) - perfection in a bowl. It's light but with so much substance. Savory, sweet, tangy. It's soft and smooth but also crunchy and startling. Coconut milk noodles. Every single component in the dish harmonizes with each other so well---it felt like it dissolved all conflict in my body and world. Samosa - crunchy, spicy, savory, and sweet when used with the tamarind sauce. Warm. Another very comforting item. A delight to my senses. I am so beyond grateful to have been able to experience this at Urban Burma. Really appreciated that they had vegetarian versions of dishes. SERVICE: 4/5 Owner who served us was nice as well. Food came out in a reasonable time frame. AMBIANCE: 3/5 It is located in Mango House, lots of background noise. Concrete floors. Oddly spaced table layout. But also lots of light coming from these giant windows.

This little gem is in a unexpected part of town in a large shopping center with various refugee owned small businesses. The food itself was amazing and the chef was quite nice.

Urban Burma is located in the food court of an international mall off of Colfax while the other side has retail shops. The area is a bit questionable but this type of environment was part of my childhood so it was actually nostalgic for a small part. I found a singular dish to rule all the flavors! We came with a small group last night to Urban Burma. Wasn't expecting much and I generally don't look at reviews...maybe sometimes. We were kindly greeted by a gentleman at the front counter and he was already hustling. After a minute he returned and still had a smile and wonderful aura about him. I ordered a Sii Cheh Kao Sweh which consisted of flat thinner noodles with garlic, sesame oil, spring onions and pork for my protein. My entree also came with a soup but wasn't too big of a fan of the soup as it was on the salty side. The Sii Cheh Kao Sweh was AMAZING and I'm already looking forward to my leftovers for lunch. A+ on experience and everything else. If they ever open an actual restaurant I'll be there and I'm sure it will be packed every night. Already looking forward to my return trip!

This hole-in-the-wall restaurant in the Mango House community center serves wonderful food. I spent weeks traveling through Myanmar in 2012 and 2013; Urban Burma brought back memories of the exotic flavors of Mandalay, Yangon and Bagan. Brothers Siri and Martin who own and operate UB are passionate about sharing their culture through food, and it shows in every dish they prepare. We inhaled the tea leaf salad, the Golden Triangle tofu salad--the tofu's housemade--and a delicious beef curry. We can't wait to return!

We ordered urban Burma for delivery. The quantities of food was ample, the flavor was great, and the quality of the food was good. Definitely would recommend.

This spot has been on the list and I was nearby for work so decided to go! Parking was easy on the street and it was easy to find. This is in an open market with other shops and restaurants. Service was so friendly and the owner gave great recommendations since this was my first time trying Burmese food! Just like everyone says- the tea leaf salad is bomb- flavorful, and nutty like nothing I've had before. I got the sampler so I could try everything and I also got the noodles with crispy pork. Everything was delish, however, some pieces of pork could have been more tender and I bet the marinated pork would have been the way to go! I also got the tea which was such a nice contrast in flavor to all of the dishes. The ambiance was comfy and service was fast!

Wow... words can not describe how incredible this was. My biggest complaint about Denver after moving here in the past year is how bland & boring so many if the restaurants area are - NOT Urban Burma! I went with a group of friends who are all foodies, and every dish we had was incredible. Also, all of the menu can be made vegetarian and there are lots of gluten free dishes for Celiacs like myself. The owner, Siri, was an awesome guy and answered all of our questions. The restaurant itself is part of a food court in Mango House, a community that provides resources for refugees in the area. All the restaurants in the center look pretty fabulous. I'll be coming back! Thanks, Siri, for making such excellent food.

I love this place I will absolutely be back! The tea leaf salad is amazing. I highly recommend the noodles and the sampler plate. The fried tofu is made with chickpeas, and it is absolutely outstanding. I have no idea what they put in that sauce, but it is addicting. The beverage menu is equally as impressive and delicious. I can't wait to go back to this restaurant. It's located in a multicultural food court in Aurora. If you're looking for an amazing hole in the wall experience, you have to go here!

I got the ono kao sweh to-go, I found the protein portion a bit stingy. The dish was okay, not worth the price or particularly special. The restaurant is in a cultural center and I initially found it a bit hard to find but the staff member helped me find it! While it wasn't my cup of tea, if you want some comfort Burmese food, this may scratch that itch.

Urban Burma used to be a food truck but is now inside the Mango House International Food Hall, catering mainly towards refugees and immigrants around the Aurora area, but don't let that fool you. The food was really good and the banana paratha was the cherry on top. Out of the other food vendors in the Mango House Food Hall, this is the far superior one

Located inside the food court of mango house, this Burmese food vendor is a definite must try if you're in the area. I had a bit of a hard time finding this place at first, being new to the area. I thought it was a stand alone building and didn't realize it was inside a separate place. There's plenty of parking in the back parking lot, and you just follow the signs for mango house to go inside. Mango house is a shared space for Asylees and refugees. There's different little shops inside including a medical practice and small grocers, along with lots of different food vendors in their food court. Burma house in particular specializes in Burmese food, which I've only had once or twice before. The staff were really friendly and efficient (we got our food in under 10-15 minutes) and they also seem to be from Burma. The food has a homemade vibe to it with no frills, and the flavors are bright and plentiful. I got the tea leaf salad -- super fresh and delicious -- along with the Nan gyi dok -- almost like a pad Thai with rice noodles, topped with a boiled egg and some crunchy garlic crisps (delicious and filling). Really loved my experience here and definitely will be back.

As others have stated this place is in the Mango House and parking can be a little tricky, but we figured it out okay. But definitely don't be discouraged because this place is amazing! Beautifully plated, good service and DELICIOUS food. I would strongly recommend, especially if you're in the area. Honestly, Aurora has a lot of great food, but this one is a stand out!

Was staying with a friend in the neighborhood and wanted to pick up some food for dinner. We found the restaurant through yelp and we decided just to try the top sellers listed of burmese fried rice with crispy pork, chicken curry, sii che kao sweh, and then some samosas. When we picked up the guy working was super nice, asked if we had been before, gave us a run down on how best to enjoy the dishes, and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy the food with hot chili flakes and utensils. It is now the next day and we are still talking about how good the food was and telling all of our coworkers they have to go try it. 400 reviews and 4.8 rating speaks for itself but wow I wish I could back again tonight. Thanks Urban Burma!

There's a lot I love about the city I live in, but unfortunately, it does not have good Burmese food (I'm not sure it even has Burmese food). I wish it had a place like Urban Burma, where the food is good. I especially loved the pae paratha. The place is in a food court type spot that shares space with some kind of nonprofit/social services center and they have parking. A couple of the other places nearby also look good.

Came here because of the good reviews and also wanted to try Burmese food. It's actually one of the restaurants in Mango House food court. Got to talk to the owner and he described some of the dishes to us. The owner was very nice and patient with us ordering. We ordered the Nan Gyi Dok with chicken, Sii Cheh Kao Sweh with chicken, and chicken curry. All were delicious! The tastes were very similar to Thai food. The food came out pretty fast. The dining area was nice and clean. The dishes were deceiving with the portions. I was full from eating just half my dish.

My mouth is watering just looking back at all the pictures I took of my meal at Urban Burma. Met up with a foodie friend for dinner, shortly before they closed at 8pm. Got a little confused about how to get into the restaurant, then realizing it's inside Mango House. Google Maps THAT instead of Urban Burma to be taken to the main parking lot. The cashier made fun WITH me that I've procrastinated coming here for so long. My friend and I shared a few incredible dishes: * Tea Leaf Salad * Golden Triangle Tofu * Ono Kao Sweh * Beef Curry They were all delicious! It's wild how so much flavor could be packed into such small dishes. This has become one of my favorite local places to eat, earning its solid 5-star rating on Yelp. I moved from San Francisco where Burmese food is much more prominent, so Mango House overall is a welcome addition to the ethnic cuisine scene of Denver.

The service is unbelievable! I was here over 6 months ago and they remembered me! Food is as authentic as I have found outside of Burma. The hot tea... give me a double. Tea leaf salad

Walking in, I knew this had to be great. It's located at the end of a row of food places near the storefront window at Mango House. We got there around lunch time and it was not busy at all. The food: started out with the tea salad, a must. It was amazing, pack full of flavor and made me want more. 6/5. Also grabbed some samosas, pretty good 5/5. The beef curry was up next, it was pretty good with great flavoring 5/5. Will definitely be back when we're in the area!

I've been here multiple times, and they're excellent as are the other stalls in Mango House There's a wide variety of options, from apps and drinks to hearty salads vs. noodles or curry. Spice levels are adjustable. I *always* get the golden tofu, which is a generous portion of fried housemade chickpea tofu with a tangy sauce. The tofu is crunchy on the outside but super smooth on the inside. I love having the option of getting the shan noodles when I want a soup noodle, or the nan gyi dok for a dry version coated in a curry sauce. The seasoning is always perfect, and service is extra friendly. For a to-go order for 5 people, my order was ready quite quickly!

Being Burmese, I can confirm the food is amazing and authentic!.. it's in the Mango House so Uber there as a destination. It's a food stall in a food court with several other ethnic foods that I must try next time. Try the Ono Kao Sweh- a creamy coconut base soup with complex flavors and seasoned bites of chicken, the Nan Gyi Dok- a Mandalay based noodle dish w some seasoned chicken. And as always, must have the Lepthtok, or tea leaf salad. If you are looking to step out of your comfort zone and try other Asian food, try Burmese food, it's really not like Thai food.

First off, Top 5 restaurant in Colorado! The owner and staff are so hospitable and serve the best Burmese cuisine in the country! Everything from their noodle dishes and curries and amazing appetizers. Their food truck offers the same quality as the actual restaurant. There's so much I can say about this small business but please support them, everything I've had here is delicious and it's always a great time chatting with the family who runs the stall. Tea leaf salad is my go to when I come here. It's a right balance of herbs and saltiness. The crunch from the soybeans pair with the variety of greens in this salad. I've had tea leaf salad elsewhere but they are consistent here and offer the right blend of flavors. The golden tofu triangles.....WOW! I could eat a million of these! Light and crispy tofu skin with a savory chick pea filling. The tamarind sauce was the perfect compliment. Order this now! Samosa was airy and crispy. Compared to an Indian samosa, they used a thin and flaky wrapper you typically see in egg rolls. It was tasty and a good app to start the meal. The pork curry was very flavorful and packed with spices. The pork was tender and soaked the curry well. It's one of the best curries I've had and highly recommend it. Overall Urban Burma has a lot to offer. Excellent meals, great people, and just great food.

The owner was extremely rude and did not bother understanding our vegetarian diet. The noodle soups were ok. The dessert - banana paratha was very disappointing. He did not even wait for us to finish the food. Just pulled the shutter and walked away. We could have got great food for that price with much better ambience and service. Too much hype about this place. We went there to support the immigrants and it totally backfired!

I appreciate Urban Burma in bringing quality Burmese food to the Denver area :) recently I've been on the hunt for a good Burmese restaurant after moving from a city with lots of delicious Burmese food. I got the sampler plate to try curry, tea leaf salad, and a samosa. Overall, I felt it was good quality food and the tasted fresh and healthy. I do feel as though the flavors were a bit subdued and muted compared to other Burmese food I've had and wish that they were more powerful! The tea leaf salad was my favorite dish.

OMG, I have not had Burmese food in 7 years!!! Here in Denver for apartment hunting and this was the first stop! I love tea leaf salads and was super excited to find this gem! Its located in a plaza with other restaurants including Indian cuisine and Swahili. Weird feeling because I had just returned from Nepal from the Everest Basecamp Trek. Felt like I never left. There are parking on the street or in the back, so no fret. The restaurant is small, but don't judge a book by the cover. The staff were really friendly as I walked up and realized that I've never been there before when I placed the order. How do they know that?? I wanted to try everything, but my little tummy wouldn't be able to handle it so I ordered the platter. It gives me a little bit of everything - tea leaf salad, a samosa, and curry with rice. Took less than 10 mins and I was on my way. Enjoyed it at the hotel and it did not disappoint. It was more than enough for me and it was absolutely delicious! Tea leaf is on point and the samosa really surprised me. After being in the container for at least 15 mins, I presume it would be a bit soggy on a side or corner but it wasn't!!! And it was so good and crunchy! I had the chicken curry last, but that brought my palette back to a zing. I think I had a bite of everything all at once because it was so good and it was the only I ate that day. Overall, I really enjoyed the food and gave me a sense of joy that day (flew in from PA and went straight to the ER for a few hours, then food). Will definitely come back when I move here.

Every time we get a date night, we come here because it is just SO GOOD. The other places at Mango House are great, but it's hard to pass up Urban Burma because it is so reliably, consistently amazing. We do a vegetarian version of the Ono Kao Sweh, the tea leaf salad, and the samosas (and bring our own wine in a coffee mug) and it is the perfect meal. Seriously, do not sleep on this place.

Stumbled upon this gem trying to find food we couldn't get near us. They did not disappoint! The service is friendly, the environment is chill, and the food is full of flavor. We had the Shan noodles and the yellow lentil curry with paratha. The noodles were tender and the broth was light and tasty. The yellow lentil curry was saltier than I expected but the flavor was so good and paired very nicely with the paratha. I haven't had Burmese food before, so I'm excited to try some other Burmese spots now.

This business occupies one stall within a "shopping mall" building called Mango House. Within the building there're various shops and food stalls mostly selling Middle East, Africa, and South Asia countries. We ordered: - Golden Triangle Tofu (not pictured) - deep fried chickpea based tofu. SOO GOOD! - Beef Curry (not pictured) - spice level 3 provides just the right kick. We devoured ours. - Nan Gyi Dok (see 1st pic for description) - Tea Leaf Salad (2nd pic) - Sii Cheh Noodles (last pic) The person taking our order is very friendly.

The gentleman who cooked our food also helped us at the register. He was super personable, took time to get to know us, and gave us great suggestions. (I wish I got his name ) The menu is smaller, but I liked it because you don't get overwhelmed at the choices. My bf ordered the chicken curry, and I got the nan gyi dok. Both were delicious. We also got two ginger mint spritzers, great to cool down your palate after the spice in the dishes. We finished it off with the banana paratha. It came out at the same time as the rest of the food and I was a little concerned that it would be cold by the time I got to it (I'm a bit of a slow eater), but it was absolutely PERFECT temps for eating quickly. Overall, AMAZING food, great service, and such an unassuming international food court, but WOWWWWWW. DEFINITELY GO!!

Came here after Wings Over the Rockies Air & Space Museum. It was also my first time at Mango House, so the set up was a bit confusing to me, but you just park in the back parking lot or on the street and walk through the food court towards the front. We met the owner when we were ordering and asked for some recommendations. Ended up with Golden Triangle (fried chick pea tofu with tamarind sauce), Sii cheh kao sweh (fried garlic, sesame oil, green onion, marinated chicken noodles), and a Burma sampler which comes with small but substantial portions of samosa, tea leaf salad, and curry of your choice with rice. We opted for the pork and pickled mango one as that seemed the most unique. All of the dishes were simple but very well cooked and fairly priced for the portion. It's hard to say what was our favorite because I can't say no to a noodle or rice dish, but the Golden Triangle was very unique and I hadn't had this style of fried tofu anywhere else. The owner had mentioned it was a Burma specialty. Staff was amazing and the owner came to check in on us and how we liked the food halfway through our meal. You place your order at the counter, find a table, and bus your table when you're done.

Best fried rice EVAH !! Best Chai anywhere, made from scratch !! We come to Aurora often and Mango House food court , ESPECIALLY URBAN BURMA is a required stop for us.

Finally got a chance to get these noodles again and they did not disappoint. They were filling not to oily and had a nice flavor to them. The meal also came with a small soup. The person working at the counter was super great in helping me choose an item. Definitely looking forward to coming back

The best Burmese food here! Shan noodles has a little kick to it but the chicken broth is amazing. Not too oily either. Tea leaf salad reminds me of the korean kongnamool. It balances well with the Shan noodles. The samosas are the best I ever had. Hands down. Highly recommend this place. It's in a food court of an international mall and the entrance is a little confusing. It looks like you are entering a condo building but you're not. We had someone open the door for us so we could get in. There is a parking lot but it's very small. Recommend doing street parking and it's free.

We enjoyed a quick dinner here last night. It was tasty, unique and filling. I had the chicken curry dinner that included rice, a generous portion of the famous tea leaf salad and a samosa for $17.

Service is awesome. Food was not great. Ordered vegetarian curry and it was flavorless but packed with fresh veg. The samosa needed something to dip it in and the tea leaf salad was a little oily. Coffee was good. Maybe don't order vegetarian?

Golden tofu! Just get it. When are you going to eat chickpea based tofu again? I mean where are you gonna buy it too? I also got a noodle dish that supports my non meat eating self. That wasn't as exciting. I'd probably say the non meat options at urban Burma are lacking. You may not be able to make a whole meal out of what you can get here. But if you eat chicken you got plenty of options. I can eat that golden tofu all day though.

I grew up eating Burmese food and don't cook it myself as often, and Urban Burma satisfied my Burmese food cravings. We had ohn-no kaut swe (chicken and coconut noodle soup), mohinga (fish noodle soup), fried tofu, nan gyi thoke (noodle salad).

Urban Burma is fantastic food stall located inside the Mango House. There are soo many things we wanted to try, but decided on the samosas, tea leaf salad and Shan noodles. At first, we weren't going to get the samosas, but after reading recent reviews on Yelp calling them the best samosas ever, we knew we had to try...and they did not disappoint! So good! They were fried perfectly and the tamarind dipping sauce that you get with them was to die for! The tea leaf salad was a no-brainer for us. We were so intrigued by it's uniqueness (at least to us) and was unlike anything we have had before. The flavor was great and it had such a great mix of textures between the cabbage and the fried peanuts and crunchy lentils. The Shan noodles were really good as well. It was a large portion of rice noodles in a wonderful broth with lots plenty of greens, fried garlic, green onions and sesame seeds. Overall we had a great first experience at Urban Burma and will definitely be back to try one of their curries and samosa salad.

Yesterday was my first time at Urban Burma and so glad that I decided to dine here! It's situated inside Mango Hall which seems to function as a community center, which is great! There are various shops and a food court. It's also on Colfax. You will need to park at the rear of this location. There is a small parking lot in the back and street parking as well. First off, staff is very friendly here. I ordered the "Taste of Burma" sampler. It features their tea leaf salad, choice of curry, samosa and a small serving of vegetable. The Tea Salad is outstanding! I would return here just to order that and take one home as well, it's that good! The samosa was delicious as well. The beef curry I ordered was okay. It didn't impress me that much. For dessert I ordered their Banana Paratha (roti style fried dough with banana and sweetened condensed milk). The first few bites were okay. However, as I continued eating it, I was very impressed! I would order this again as well. Also, I ordered their Burmese Iced Tea. It is very similar to Thai Iced Tea! I thought the Burmese Iced Tea was really good. Overall, I very much enjoyed my visit here and look forward to returning again. I recommend taking your time to browse around shops after your meal or visit other restaurants to see what they offer for your next meal here. Lastly, I love how they feature a "Yelp" sign on their counter to signify that they're associated with "Yelp" as an eatery. Something to that effect. Hope you enjoy your visit here!

As someone who has never tried Burmese food, I'd say the food itself was a positive first experience. The stir fry and noodle dishes we ordered were delicious, and the service was great. However, our choice of seating meant that our experience became rather sour. We didn't realize when we sat at an indoor table immediately to the right of the restaurant that there was a plant teeming with hundreds of fruit flies a matter of feet away, and many of them ultimately found their way not only into our food but into our clothes. Food: 9/10 Service: 10/10 Ambiance: 1/10 The food is definitely worth a try. Just watch where you sit!!

3.5/5. I stopped by around lunchtime on a Friday and got the sampler (tea leaf salad, a choice of curry -- I went with chicken, and a samosa). I found the samosa and chicken curry to be pretty disappointing; both lacked the flavor punch I was expecting, and I truthfully found the chicken curry to be quite watery and flavorless. I rarely throw out food, but I did not finish the chicken curry. The tea leaf salad was really interesting and such a unique combo of flavors. I am a noodle lover and think I probably just ordered poorly here. I was too eager to get the sampler (comes with choice of curry), and think my experience would have been different if I just chose one of the tasty-looking noodle dishes instead. This was my first time trying Burmese food, but Indian and Thai are two of my favorite cuisines, so I planned on having a wonderful meal here since it is advertised as a fusion of the two. Given Urban Burma's amazing reviews, I can only think I had a one-off experience, and would give it another try if I am ever in the area.

Have been wanting to check out this place for a while and WOW. Seriously some of the best food I have had in Colorado. I got the shan noodles, which was basically a spicy chicken noodle soup, and absolutely perfect for the chilly day. My partner got beef curry, and then we got samosas and tea leaf salad to share. My shan noodles were super spicy and cozy They ask you about spice level preference when you order though, so don't let the heat scare you away from this dish. Every element of the soup though was unique and incredibly flavorful.. and there was a very generous amount of noodles. 10/10 I read so many rave reviews about the samosas and tea leaf salad- we clearly had to try both. The pastry on the samosas was so thin and crispy and the inside was perfectly spiced. The tea leaf salad was also delicious. I was a little worried that it would be super caffeinated, but it seemed fine. It was my first time trying tea leaf salad, so I didn't actually know what to expect.. but it definitely exceeded any expectation that I did have. Overall, I think we ordered a bit too much food, but that is kind of how we do things. Will definitely be back.

Location: inside Mango House. Colfax front entrance doors are locked so park in the back lot. Myanmar (formerly Burma) is a Southeast Asian nation of more than 100 ethnic groups with a diverse cuisine. Siri is the friendly owner open the restaurant in 2019 and it's first Burmese restaurant. Flavors are similar to Thai and Indian. Par Paratha is a nice starter similar to a stuffed naan bread. I prefer the (Nan Gyi Dok) thick noodles more and the chicken broth was flavorful. Next I want to try the Kao Sweh (flat noodles) I'm guessing it's related to the Thai dish Khao Soi but with drunken noodles. The fried rice looks dope too. Next door "jasmine Syrian food" is also good. The community center is a refugee heath clinic and a few other small shops all located in the building. Definitely a cool experience and there's even a ping pong table and playground for kids.

What a great dining experience. Delicious food and even better ambiance. The cashier was very helpful explaining the menu and walking our group of 4 through the delicious choices. Would highly recommend the tea leaf salad beef curry but everything was enjoyable. Also really loved the setting - tons of character and laughter. Would highly recommend.

Urban Burma is inside this food hall called Mango House that's so much more than a food hall.( separate review). You want authenticity in your dish? Nothing more could be more authentic than Urban Burma. It's one of the five stalls inside Mango Hall. It's not about the portion and the ambience. Anything that you buy here to eat here is cooked by someone from that country. They share the love for their native food and make a living too. This curry dish is amazingly rich and so flavorful! I intend to go back and try more of the dishes!

The setup here is unusual, you have to enter in the back door, and when you do, you're in a larger space called Mango Hall, which identifies itself as a home for refugees of all stripes and houses numerous international businesses. Their website states they are not a nonprofit, prefer to keep much of their affairs private, and ask the public to support them mainly by patronizing the shops and the takeout restaurants which form a small food hall in the center. It feels like being in another country. The furniture is pretty sketch, and the sounds of children running around echo loudly. The vibe is very different. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against it, but know what you're getting into. The Burmese stall at the end seemed easily the busiest of the food options, but I certainly thought some of the others looked trying, especially if you have a group that can spread the wealth a bit. Burma is geographically at a crossroads, and the cuisine characteristically combines tons of different flavors together. I got a salad with fried triangles of a chickpea-based tofu unique to the region, as well as a lentil soup with diced samosas in it. Both were dynamic in flavor and filling. They seemed to be offering beverages of some sort as well, though I couldn't discern a menu for those. The food is very friendly to special diets, with plenty of vegan and gluten-free options. They were busy and I didn't get quite the in-depth conversation that some other reviewers described, but they were friendly people. So while the food and the setup are both quite unusual, I highly recommend taking the plunge.

Just tried food from Burma (Myanmar) yesterday. It was my first time, and I'm definitely interested in trying more. We got the Taste of Burma Sampler, the Ono Kao Sweh, and the Weh De Nah. We got all as medium spicy. The teal leaf salad(included in the sampler) was delicious. I definitely want to try that again. All of the main dishes were hearty and flavorful. This location is not in the nicest part of town, but it's a cool spot to try some new food.

Been wanting to try Urban Burma for a long time and finally was in Aurora and it was lunch time...so glad I stopped in! The Nan Gyi Dok noodle dish and the sampler with curry chicken made for a perfect shared lunch for two. The flavors were fabulous and medium spicy was just right for me. Had a nice chat with friendly Siri about our travels in Burma many years ago. Will be back!
