🫤 I came because the good reviews in Google maps. Very disappointed. The bananas juice was most water with little banana inside. It wasn't even cold, like drink warm water... The salad chicken was big but not tasty at all... It gets 2 stars & not 1 because the staff are nice & because I sat upstairs &... People often mention Zizi,

    The owner is managing a program for girls and they are all really kind and smiling. The foods there taste amazing and you should definitely ask for the vegan peanut butter pancakes!! The atmosphere make you feel at home :)

    Amazing place, amazing owner. She is really trying to make a change and improve life for local families in the villages. We not just ate here, we also organized our boat trip through the restaurant (the boatman was from a local village and the tour supports his and other families) and it was amazing. Highly recommend stopping by for a bite and a chat!

    What a gem! Must visit if you're around and if you're not around definitely worth walking/biking here the extra mile😊The owners are such a lovely, welcoming people. The prices are very very reasonable and the food is great! Definitely the best tea leaves salad I have had in Myanmar. The decor of this restaurant is very pleasant with adorable local accents. Also this business helps empowering Burmese women (read the details in the pic I attach). I didn't snap the pics of food because I ate it too fast ;) But I will definitely be back and his time I will take more pics.

    We waited so long for our food and drinks. It was good, portions a bit small but tasty and fresh. My friend had the avocado-bacon-toast without bacon 🥓 , so I think the price should be a bit less.. The women development project is great and we liked the cat 🐈

    Very nice the place, food and the staff. But nicer what they do for women from Myanmar, helping them to have a better future. We had a very special dinner for both food and people from the restaurant. A must if you go to the town

    We love Zizi and Paw Paw! We came here twice during our short stay in Nyaungshwe and both times we left the menu up to Zizi. The tomato salad pictured was one of the most delicious things I ate in Myanmar, and the potato rice is a perfect comfort food. Definitely make sure your menu includes those! Another delicious item (not pictured) was a creamy noodle dish. We came for the food but we stayed for the company! Zizi is such a wonderful hostess and person. We stayed for hours one night just to talk to Zizi and her mother. They are both delightful and speak excellent English. Zizi is so frank and you can learn a lot about Myanmar from her. Zizi, I hope that you can one day open up your home stay! Good luck!

    Cozy restaurant with an aim of supporting community development. Good variety of menu offerings, everything we ordered was delicious. The masala tea was especially satisfying. There is WiFi at the place and a couple of cute cats that come and go, and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

    Great ambient where you can relax for the whole afternoon to enjoy the breeze. Food is slow in making but definitely worth waiting for. The curry is tasty with very rich coconut milk (5000Kyats). The noodle is delicious and ingredients are fresh (2000Kyats). The owner is friendly and English speaking.

    We spent a lovely evening under the thatched awning having dinner. Yes, the service may be somewhat slower than westerners are used to in a standard restaurant, but there were only two women working the kitchen and we could see them starting to work on our order the moment we placed it. Since we were in no rush, it wasn’t a problem to sit and sip our drinks and enjoy the quiet evening while our food was being prepared. The portions are a little small, but since the menu is so cheap, it wouldn’t be hard to make a hearty meal out of a few different dishes. It’s too bad we were only in town for one night, or we’d be back for another meal.
