Khmer Kitchen bears an uncanny resemblance to a Spanish venta or a Mexican cantina. But the similarity ends with the decor and what you will actually find at this busy eatery in Siem Reap’s tourist centre are generous portions of honest Cambodian food at good value prices, and all within staggering distance of the bright lights of Pub Street.

With its deep red and warm yellow decor, lively atmosphere and rows of wooden tables, just to avoid any confusion, Khmer Kitchen actually has two locales, both in the Old Market area of town.

while the highly recommended pumpkin cheese bake was a 'interesting' fusion dish.

Less spicy than the curries of neighboring Thailand, Khmer red curry is similarly coconut-milk-based but without the overpowering chili. The dish features beef, chicken or fish, eggplant, green beans, potatoes, fresh coconut milk, lemongrass and kroeung.

Service is usually fast and efficient, Unfortunately this is still quite common in some Khmer restaurants, but usually the quality, authenticity and price make up for it. Both Khmer Kitchens are very popular with tourists and expats, and you can often find the two venues full at peak times during high season.

locals and visitors have embraced this unique concept, and the original 100 stalls have now grown into a cluster of 250 or more over the years. Designed and constructed in a simple and traditional way, this night market is bounded by a Balinese themed garden and largely reflects the Khmer culture and heritage, with its well laid out thatched hut style stalls all made using natural raw materials such as bamboo and wood.
