A young gun chef is behind this new southside Burmese gem

Alfan Musthafa, a well-known Brisbane chef known for his work at Warisan, Luckies Kitchen, and Ma Pa Me, has collaborated with several Myanmar expats to open a new Burmese restaurant called Sorai in Carina. The restaurant occupies a former cafe space and offers a mix of traditional Burmese dishes alongside familiar Thai and Indonesian flavors. Musthafa and his team, including Laga 'Bosco' Htoi, Min Hein Kyaw, and Su Sabai Zaw, focused on creating a warm, homey atmosphere with minimal decor. The menu emphasizes Burmese cuisine, featuring items like coconut noodle dishes and tofu-based noodles, while incorporating elements of modern Asian cooking. The restaurant opened in late June 2026 and aims to provide locals with access to Burmese food, which has been relatively scarce in Brisbane despite the growing Myanmar community.
