Shindi Georgian Cuisine Phnom Penh — Restaurant in Khan Chamkar Mon

My first encounter with a Georgian restaurant. Came back twice in a week before i write this review.

Food: The menu spread was unique, colourful, and the owner seems to prioritize healthy eating. Vegetarian option is available too.

If you are a big fan of bread, cheese, eggs and mushrooms, i recommend: Khatchaburi (flat bread with gooey cheese and egg in the middle) and Kuchmachi (slow cooked shitake and oyster mushrooms)

BBQ Mtsvadi board (soft pork and lamb) and Phkali (Vegetable balls) were good too!

Must must order their special spicy condiment : Red ajika!

My least favourite: Khinkali ie Georgian dumplings. Tried all types. The skin were too thick.

Side note: 1⭐️ Dessert quality did not match the food. We ordered 3 out of 5 from the menu but unfortunately they were nowhere near our expectations. I wouldn’t recommend.

Customer service: Lovely and attentive waitresses.

Ambience: Lovely interior with interesting wall and ceiling decoration. It consists of an indoor area which is air conditioned and outdoor space. A good place to host guests and to really just hang out. I came twice: dinner and late afternoon.

Location: Next to a craft beer garden. This area has less traffic with ample of parking space...

For those craving Georgian food, you can find it in Cambodia at Shindi Georgian Cuisine. The restaurant offers both courtyard and indoor seating with rustic but comfortable furniture. I started with the Tantusha cranberry cocktail, which was well-balanced—if I had been in more of a drinking mood, I probably would’ve had three. I also ordered the khinkali and lula kebab, finishing off with the apple pie.

Flavor-wise, it wasn’t as distinct as what I’ve experienced in Georgia or even at the Georgian restaurant in Dubai, but I imagine those are in a league of their own. The khinkali was underwhelming, lacking flavor and difficult to eat since I was given only two forks. The lula kebab was tasty, though there were a few pieces of bone in the mix that could’ve easily caused some damage had I not been careful. As for the apple pie, it was fine, but at $8, it felt overpriced in hindsight—definitely something I could’ve skipped.

Overall, Shindi is worth a try if you're looking to experience Georgian cuisine in Phnom Penh. With so many food options in the city, it’s a good choice to check out...

From the moment you walk in, you feel like you’ve been transported straight to Tbilisi, cozy atmosphere, beautiful decor, and warm Georgian hospitality. The food is out of this world! The khinkali were perfectly juicy and flavorful, with that authentic peppery kick that makes them impossible to stop eating. The Adjaruli khachapuri came fresh from the oven, golden, gooey, and loaded with rich cheese and the perfect egg in the center.

We also tried the pkhali platter, full of vibrant flavors and textures, and the grilled meats were tender, juicy, and seasoned to perfection. Every dish tasted homemade, like something straight from a Georgian family kitchen.

Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the staff are kind, attentive, and clearly proud of what they serve. If you’ve never had Georgian food before, this is the place to fall in love with it, and if you already love it, you’ll be blown away by how...
