Angkor-India is a restaurant serving Indian food with a little fusion (as seen on their menu)with Khmer and Western influences. You wouldn't miss this restaurant as you could already smell its great aroma from a mile away.

Chris' dad was here for the long weekend holiday (Water Festival in Phnom Penh) and Indian food was definitely on his 'To-Eat' list. So on the 4th night of his visit, we decided to do Indian *drools*. We opted for the outdoor seating as the weather that day was certainly great for one.
This time round, I left the very important task of ordering to Chris and his dad, while I focused my energies on attacking the appetisers in front of me.
Fresh and savoury, this mint & cilantro sauce goes with almost anything on the table.
With only two pieces of these babies, we practically had to share till the very last bit. Or not exactly, as Chris the glutton stole the last bit of papadum after they are done with the ordering.

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of onions, but deep-fried onions I could still enjoy. For $3, you get this whole mountain of fried onion patties. Just have to be careful who's sleeping next to you at night, you don't want to stink up the whole bed with your curry gas.

Served on a sizzling plate, this Chicken Tikka is the highlight of the day. It was really tender inside, and nicely grilled on the outside. Wonderfully seasoned, and definitely spicy. It's one of my favourite dishes, alongside the Bhindi Masala.
Rating: 5/5 (same dish as above)
The mint sauce goes perfectly well with the Chicken Tikka, they are a couple obviously.
If you do not want to settle for a plain naan, try this Keema Naan, which is like an Indian Meatlovers Pizza. Don't be fooled by the size of the photo - the portion is huge. Definitely enough for a one-man dining experience.

Okay. Now this semi-dry Ladies Fingers curry is a must-try. I absolutely love this dish. The Ladies Fingers are so fragrant and crunchy (from the high-heat sauteing), and the sauce is so rich and flavour-packed. I'm not even exaggerating, it is that nice. It is a mild curry, so definitely easy on the tummy.

You just know that lots of efforts are being put into this Chicken Kadai because of all the little chopped onions and the different spices used in this juicy chicken dish. The green bell peppers (capsicum) livens up the tastebuds and differentiates the Chicken Kadai from the other curry dishes on the table. Being a lover of capsicums no matter green, red or yellow, I find this dish really satisfying.

This fried rice with vegetables is for people who just can't bear the sight of plain basmati rice, and for those who want to feel slightly healthier having some fresh greens on their dinner plates. Very fragrant and light, perfect to go with the Bhindi and the Chicken Kadai. Only downside of this dish for me was the peas. I just can't eat those nasty green mini blobs of mushy stuff ever.
Oh and with Angkor drafts for just 60c, just have your fill of beer here already before heading off to the other pubs along the street.
This was actually my second time at this restaurant, and I remember the first time I saw the menu, I felt like I was back to school: it looked like a stack of self-made lecture notes to me LOL.

I believe I'd take a longer time digesting the menu than the meal itself. So for your convenience of not having to read the menu on your own, I've selected some dishes that you wouldn't want to miss out.
Their portions are huge, so if you do not want an overkill, order wisely.
