    The samosa soup has the right level of spice with crispy samosas. The tea leaf salad is delicious as well.

    Burma Ruby has the same menu as its nearby sister restaurant Rangoon Ruby. Everyone seems to like Rangoon Ruby better.

    Sesame chicken was too oily. This place is busy on weekdays too so call ahead.
