အောင်သုခ
A traditional curry restaurant opened in 1987, located near Shwedagon Pagoda and packed with locals during lunch and dinner hours.
Located on West Shwegondine 1st Street near Shwedagon Pagoda, this traditional Myanmar restaurant was established in 1987. It specializes in various curries served with rice and side dishes, some of which are refillable. Reviews frequently mention the prawn curry and fish ball curry, while the pork and egg curries are also well-received, alongside pounded fish paste, salads, and stir-fried seasonal vegetables. It gets very crowded during lunch and dinner hours, so visiting during off-peak times is recommended. Sources conflict on whether reservations are accepted. It is a convenient dining option before or after visiting Shwedagon Pagoda.
