The Sweet Life’: Burma Burma’s new dessert menu tells stories
`Every spoonful to spark joy’: Burma Burma’s `The Sweet Life’ redefines `dessert safari'
By Anoushka Caroline Williams
Hyderabad: If there’s one thing that can pause time, it’s dessert done right. Burma Burma’s new dessert menu, The Sweet Life, is that perfect pause — a quiet invitation to slow down, spoon in hand, and savor something both familiar and new.
Now available at their Hyderabad outlet in Salarpuria Sattva Knowledge City, the seven-dish offering brings Burmese warmth and fruit-forward indulgence to the city’s dining scene.
A Menu That Tells Stories
Crafted by Head Chef Ansab Khan and award-winning patisserie expert Chef Vinesh Johny, the menu draws from traditional Burmese flavors, local markets, and the country’s storied trade routes. “Each creation is rooted in stories of fruit stalls, seasonal abundance, and cross-cultural influences,” says Chef Khan.
Co-founder Ankit Gupta adds, “We wanted every spoonful to spark joy, evoke a memory, or bring a moment of calm. Whether it’s a quick treat or a grand finale to your meal, The Sweet Life is our invitation to indulge.”
And indulge, you will.
The Highlights: Familiar, With a Twist
Milk Tea Cheesecake
A Basque-style cheesecake laced with Burmese milk tea (laphet ye) – this one’s an ode to tea lovers. It’s served with warm apple compote and cinnamon ice cream, pulling you into a cocoon of comfort.
Banana & Cashew Tres Leches
Sponge cake soaked in caramel milk, layered with banana confit, chocolate chantilly, cashew streusel, and banana caramel ice cream. It’s creamy, crunchy, and surprisingly complex — a crowd favorite in the making.
Silk Route Sundae
This stunner arrives encased in a shimmering gold chocolate shell, hiding saffron-pistachio gelato and apricot-saffron confit. A hat tip to old trade routes and new indulgence, it’s rich, warm, and deeply satisfying.
Celebration Cake
Their version of a chocolate finale: seven layers of cake, ganache, and tart cherry sorbet, finished with a molten chocolate pour at your table. Expect a silence of awe at the first bite.
Flower Bouquet Pavlova
Bright and airy meringue topped with tropical fruit salsa — mango, kiwi, and passion fruit — and paired with coconut-ginger ice cream. It’s a fruit-forward palate cleanser with personality.
Berry Burst
This one layers coconut custard with pineapple compote and mango-berry fruit caviar for bursts of texture and surprise. Earthy jaggery plays a subtle supporting role.
Coconut and Pineapple Crème Brûlée
A tropical remix of a classic. Cracked sugar tops a rich custard, paired with pineapple compote, cinnamon gelato, honeycomb, and a semolina cake crumble. You’ll keep digging for that hidden crunch.
More Than Dessert
There’s a gentle rhythm to the menu. Each plate is a classic at first glance — a cheesecake, a sundae, a pavlova — but as you eat, it shifts. A fruit you didn’t expect, a spice that lingers, a crunch that cuts through sweetness.
It’s what makes The Sweet Life more than just a dessert menu — it’s an experience. A reminder that flavor is a journey, and nostalgia is often tucked into the simplest ingredients.

All seven plated desserts are priced between ₹450–₹500++. A meal for two averages around ₹1800++. And whether you’re on a date, taking a break from work, or capping off dinner, The Sweet Life is worth the detour.
