While traveling my husband found this place after checking out the rating , we decided to try this out. Me being a vegetarian and too picky , I find it very difficult to get food that suits my palate.

We went around lunch time and Siem Reap is quite hot and humid. We were warmly welcomed with cold towels which was quite a relief. The seating is outdoor and though AC was there it wasn't working. What we ordered

1.Pumpkin Soup 2.Spaghetti Carbonara 3.Green Curry Chicken 4.Amok with Vegetables 5.Mango Milkshake 6.Pumpkin Dessert

I am giving a five star to all except the dessert.was a little disappointed with the dessert. I must say that the presentation too adds to the taste of the food that was served . Pumpkin soup was made with perfection and was in the consistency as it should be. I specifically chose the vegetables for the Amok and it tasted a bit similar to the dish Avial that we have in Kerala , which is down south in India. Spaghetti too was customised to suit my 11 year old . It was creamy and yummy. The green curry with Chicken had loads of vegetables and yes ofcourse chunks of Chicken pieces which carnivore son and husband dug into. After seeing the vegetables I was wanted to go back again and order the same (but yeah without the Chicken )😬

The dessert was a bit of disappointment since it's was more like a custard but not at all sweet. Cuisine which adds sugar to even main course ,they can definitely add a bit more sweetness into the dessert .

Overall a 5 star experience in terms of its taste and service. Worth visiting and wouldn't mind...

I found the staff to be lovely and it was busy but not slow at all. The atmosphere was pleasant. Unfortunately the food items were not great. Veg spring roll were small and all wrapper with a little piece of taro inside, but hey its fried, well, fresh and not too greasy so, not all bad. Pumpkin soup was the most disappointing. Super thick like a mash, and grainy like it had been thickened with some kind of tuber. A little bland and honestly seemed more like a side to a turkey dinner. I appreciate that the dessert was not sweet, like at all, which may have been my fault for asking for not sweet, what you'd get at the marketis unbelievably sickly sweet, i wanted to avoid this. A touch of sweet would have balanced it more, but better nothing than too much, and I did say not sweet. It was big enough for 2 people, however, I found it to be very watery, and one of the bananas was super starchy and green. I don't know if it was an off night, honestly I can't fathom the reviews. I've been here many times for months at a time. This was, not one of the better meals I've had in SR to say the least, and I don't feel I would risk here again to try anything else. I hate leaving negative reviews, but I honestly feel like...
