Burmese eatery Pa Lian in Wheaton was named second best restaurant in the Midwest by Yelp. YelpTop100
Suburban diners don't need to go far to find some of the top restaurants in the Midwest, according to a recent Yelp list. And Yelp says you don't need to go to Myanmar to enjoy authentic Burmese cuisine.
Tucked inconspicuously into a shopping center in Wheaton, Pa Lian, has been bringing authentic Burmese dishes to the suburbs since 2018. It's been so busy since the news dropped that Zalian hopes some people who are interested in trying the restaurant, which is located at 254 E. Geneva Road, for the first time hold off for a little bit. He said last Friday they opened for dinner at 4:30 and by 4:45 the dining room was full.
"To most people it's an unknown cuisine," Zalian said."There are influences of India and some Asian spices, but it's very unique, the flavors and textures are different and something you've never had in your life." "We love to cook. We love to eat," Zalian said."My wife and I had no business knowledge, but we love our cuisine and we want to share it with everyone. It's our American dream."
