We were walking along the riverside and found this cozy restaurant and decided to have dinner there. We've ordered one set for each thinking that the servings was enough for one, imagine how wrong are we... it's good enough to server three! At least we get to try each other's food. Which was great because everything taste well and served... More

The exotic environment was something a little more different then all the other restaurants that was available along the riverside. I thought that the dishes were great- Khmer cuisine as well as the western cuisine my friend had. When food taste great, the price of it does not matter. What attracts me most is the price of the food because... More

Karma was not far from our guesthouse and we have had breakfast here twice, spot on! The English breakfast is really welcomed after so many asian breakfasts, bacon, sausage, hash brown etc. and the omelets are also really good. One lunch time I also had my first amok here and it was delicious. All in all tasty food, good value... More

We decided to try Karma based on the reviews on Tripadvisors, but we were disappointed. Considering how impressed we were with the general standard of service in Cambodia, their service was below average. Food there was not awful but not good either. I think I would try other restaurants on the same street next time.

Weren't planning to eat at Karma but glad we did as the food was delicious and very good value for money. I had the fish amok and my husband the 300g steak, we both thoroughly enjoyed our choices. Staff were friendly and efficient. The location is good with a nice view out over the riverside. Can only recommend it!

The restaurant is an open air sidewalk Café. We had a nice breakfast/lunch there and the food was fine as was the price.

I brought my partner here because of reviews on tripadvisor, and I wasn't disappointed. I thought the food was delicious and very good value. You can sit here and watch all the activity by the riverside. It's a bit of a lazy place where people just sit and drink and watch Phnom Penh pass by.
