Malis (Norodom Boulevard)

Lovely romantic dinner, impeccable service, tasty food. Ordered waaay too much for 2 people - entrees, soups and mains. Organic chicken was ok- a little dry- all other dishes spectacular especially the entrees. Very attentive and friendly service. A bit on the pricier end - $120 with no alcohol- but we did over order. There was live music for part of our dinner - a young man playing a traditional instrument. The restaurant is beautiful and well looked after. Overall it’s an outstanding restaurant headed by a team that really looks after its customers for a very nice evening and experience.

Your meal starts with a refreshing cold towel and a welcome juice drink in a shot glass. That in combination with the gorgeous outdoor patio seating area sets the stage for a wonderful upscale meal. I went with a beef flock log which had tender beef mortals, and a generous pepper sauce on the side. Very delicious. They have a location in Siem Reap, which I found to be a little nicer. Nonetheless this is a great spot to come when you crave quality.Khmer food. Highly recommended.

We had an excellent experience at Malis. Although we were not dressed for the occasion (we were very casual with shorts, t-shirts and sandals) they didn't hesitate to seat us or even look at us in any type of way. My wife was a little hesitant because I didn't prepare her, so she didn't plan what to wear, but she's a good sport and was ok with it in the end. In hindsight, it's best to dress more formal to fit in better....lol Anywho, the food was very tasty, presented nicely and did not take long. We ordered the sweet and sour seafood soup, beef skewers, desert tray with 4 different types of khmer deserts and pineapple smoothie. My goodness, everything was so good. They start with some sort of picked vegetables with a sauce. They serve you bottomless rice which I always like mixing with the soup. The soup was delicious and the skewers were mouthwatering. The desert is highly recommended, as you get to taste different traditional deserts...the only negative is that it will leave you craving for more...haha The smoothies we fresh and tasty as well. We appreciated the service, ambiance and the attention/love that our baby received. Thank you Malis staff for a great experience and for you dedication to providing great service.

We really enjoyed the delicious authentic Cambodian meals here! The waiter was really kind and taking care of us, she will tell if it’s too much as we came only 2 of us and food are in big portion, and she also suggest to make sure we have great dining experience. The coconut is one of the best in the world, so fragrant and sweet. Place and setting are lovely, the mango salad come with all edible flower in its glory. The organic country chicken is my favorite! To whoever travels to Cambodia, visiting Malis to experience local cuisine is a must and will not get disappointed. Highly recommended.

Malis is a welcome oasis in a hectic and hot city. At the center is a pool with lotus flowers and colorful koi fish. With a refreshing cold perfumed towel and a welcome shot glass of mango and pineapple juice, let the pampering begin. Amuse Bouche: A small complimentary dish was provided containing morning glory, a watery spinach that's cold and crunchy with garlic and ginger. Samlor Korko: The claypot contains a soupy yellow stew. The spherical eggplants and potatoes are mushy, lending their starch to thicken the delicious stew. Lemongrass, turmeric, and ginger add subtle and comforting flavors to the mix. Small chunks of pork ribs on the bone are succulent and tasty. Strips of tender lotus root are a nice touch. Delicate green leaves add a wonderful texture. Amok: On a wooden boat, a leaf packet contains the fish amok. Flaky and moist pieces of white fish are coated in a yellow curry glaze. The server gifted me again, this time with a dessert. The warm, sweet, and savory soup has pink and purple tapioca balls. The tapioca is gooey and half melted, and topped with peanut and sesame.

I went here expecting a "Mom & Pop" Khmer restaurant. What I found was something quite different. I was greeted by two well dressed ladies. One led me to my table by an indoor pond with fountain. The menu was a bound book with professional photographs. It displayed the menu offerings very well. The servers were all dressed in matching uniforms. There was always someone nearby to be sure my water glass was topped up. The food exceeded my expectations. This is no"Mom&Pop". You won't be disappointed.

We didn't expect for a fine dining restaurant in PP. I was just looking at the best restaurant that serves fish amok. Then we stumble the best restaurant in PP I guess as it was visited by Jackie Chan, Gordon Ramsay, Justin Trudeau and other dignitaries. The fish amok was really really good Ambiance is the best here really makes you feel that it's top notch. Service staff was nice as well.

I have to say, this is the most disappointing meal I’ve had in Phnom Penh. Are you kidding me? You call this a “set menu”? I was expecting a proper tasting experience, but the whole thing was basically just a very simple lunch set. Price-wise, it makes no sense at all. The food was not the worst, but clearly not made with any care. Even street food tastes better. The salad had nothing but sourness, the soup was just okay, and the main course was a complete disaster—no creativity, nothing special. Even the fruit wasn’t sliced properly. And they charge $35 for this? It’s worth maybe $5 at best. As for the environment, I arrived around 1:40 pm and the first-floor outdoor area was a mess. Staff were walking back and forth moving decorations—do you really need to do that while guests are eating? The worst part was at the end. When I shared my disappointment, instead of apologizing, they handed me a QR code to register for their group’s app, just so I could get a 10% discount. I said I didn’t want to register, and the staff immediately gave me a black face. The discount didn’t feel sincere at all—there was no apology whatsoever. I honestly don’t understand the restaurant’s reputation. To me, it’s not worth it at all. If you want good food—don’t go. Good service—don’t go. Good vibes—don’t go.
