The foods of Myanmar are making an impression on Bay Area palates thanks to owner/chef Tiyo Shibabaw and her menu of traditional Burmese flavors melded with neighboring Southeast Asian and Ethiopian cuisines, and interpreted through California’s seasonal-produce bounty.

Start your meal with the likes of Teni’s Tea Leaf Kale Salad with its earthy, funky pickled tea-leaf paste, surrounded by roasted nuts and seeds or a crunchy Pea Shoot Salad featuring crisp pea shoots on a bed of red and green cabbage, topped with nuts, seeds and fried garlic.

For your main dish enjoy one of Teni’s many delicious curry entrees, from the cardamom-scented red sauce of its tender Chicken Cardamom Curry to a savory yogurt-based pea and peppery radish-crowned Lamb Curry.  Or try Housemade Chickpea Tofu with its spicy, garlic-chile sauce.
