Ali Baba Prosto Restaurant & Café

Unclaimed

I visited this restaurant while I was in Phnom Penh on June 16, 2024. It is one of the few halal restaurants in the vicinity, serving mostly Egyptian Arabic food. I had both lunch and dinner during my visit. Please do consider giving them a try. Lunch: I ordered (vegetarian) Koushary and Falafel for lunch. Your order comes with free bread regardless of what you ordered. The food prices are quoted in USD (due to imported products) and come in US portion sizes. I loved the Falafels—they're big, crispy and served with mint sauce. The Koushary is missing the rice, unlike in Egypt where you get macaroni, rice, and lentils. Nevertheless, it was still delicious and affordable. Dinner: I ordered a watermelon salad and a Shawarma plate. The meat of the Shawarma was a bit dry, but the watermelon salad was refreshing. The portions for both dishes were huge; I had a hard time finishing them. Both were good in general. I was also offered Kunefe on the house, which was superb. Overall, I enjoyed my dining experience here and wouldn't hesitate to come back again. I had actually wanted to visit them again on June 17, but they were closed (I found out it was Eid). The staff are friendly and ensure you are comfortable. They accept card payments too. It was the best halal dining experience I had in Phnom Penh. Feedback: The interior decor of the restaurant could be improved. While they have Khmer cuisines on the menu, it wasn't available when I visited.

The food is so delicious i never eat this epic Egyptian food in my life. thank you so much for the team who served the food nicely. I hope we all come again here ???

Great experience! The restaurant truly deserves five stars. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the hawawshi. The service was respectful, the place was clean and well-organized. The prices are reasonable compared to the quality, and the overall atmosphere is comfortable and classy. I’ll definitely come back again and recommend it to anyone!
