I don't like it either. I think Sri Lanka and Idian food is similar. I still hate curry until now.
I guess not many Cambodians like Indian foods.
My ex wife (Cambodian) hated Indian food, said it was disgusting, even though she never tried it once.

Me thinks Khmer find Indians disgusting, therefore their food must be as well. I've seen signs in Thailand behind the front desk at hotels banning South Asians and a general disgust at the mention of Indian people in conversation w/Thais. Everybody's gotta look down on somebody i suppose.

The food was served half cold, suggesting it was just being reheated from earlier... and also half cooked food sucks. I am not positive on the name, but my favorite is called everest or something. It is that place in BKK3, south of the monument, maybe st 63? Always consistent quality.
Your thinking of Mount Everest. One of my favorites in town.

I order from there once a month for my Indian fix.
That's the place, thanks!

One place that does not qualify for the list is Dosa Corner near the Monument off Sihanouk. I was anyhow nearby and dropped by for snack. The dal was soso and the samosas less so. Was cheap but wont make me come back.

Indian places compare badly in terms of qualify and pricing with Chinese, Vietnamese, and Khmer places. I should have had a pizza yesterday :)

Methinks Khmers and Thais are quite different. Cambodia and India have strong historical and cultural links. I've never heard anyone saying anything disparaging about Indians here. If people don't always like the food it's because of the taste, most likely too spicy. I know Cambodians who do like Indian food too.

I like Dosa Corner. The dosas are very good and cheap too.

Probably because India is much further away so ingredients are harder to source and therefore more expensive.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
