If you are not a fan of street food and want to opt for something safer whilst still enjoying Kmer food, I would highly recommend this place. We had read about this restaurant on blogs before visiting Cambodia so we actually looked for it whilst in Phnom Penh, it is not too far from the national museum. The restaurants concept... More

Our dinner experience at its affiliate, Romdeng, was such that the four of us headed here for a light lunch the next day. This, too, was just a good walk from our hotel. Tapas is the speciality, but servings were larger than we expected, so two each was a little too much. Mine was french-fried sweet potatoes in a curry... More

We were really looking forward to eating at friends after we read the reviews on TA. We called them last night to make a reservation but they were fully booked so we decided to just walk in and try our luck. We go there and we were seated immediately but the place as indeed packed. The food was very good... More

Walked straight in for lunch. Enjoyed 3 dishes between 2 people - all of them absolutely delicious. Really enjoyed the green apple and lime freeze. Service was quick & efficient but lacked warmth. A great cause but i personally prefer Daughters of Cambodia.

The cause behind Friends is very good, providing street kids training so they can have a better future. However, i was not so taken with the food, nothing special and small servings for the higher than normal price paid.

My encounter with Friends Restaurant happen to be a very random thing due to the heat of Cambodia. Everybody was hungry and dehydrated. A friend of mine suggested this place as he had been here once. The food was great with a variety of cuisine choices or fusion. From the Italian spaghetti to Khmer dishes. Beverages were great. I had... More

Given the nature of this restaurant you can be forgiven if something was amiss. Not the case - food and service was great. Though we were advised to get 3 plates of tapas, 2 was enough. Drinks were very refreshing and the salads do contain chilli (though not mentioned in the menu)
