HAVEN is a garden restaurant on Chocolate Road in Siem Reap, open daily except Monday from 10am to 10pm. It operates as a training restaurant, giving disadvantaged young adults hands-on experience in hospitality, and the owners are frequently on site, often stopping by tables to chat with guests. The menu runs from curries to salads to vegan options, alongside cocktails and coffee, served in a leafy, relaxed setting that guests describe as an oasis from the streets outside.
Reviews are strikingly consistent: visitors praise the food quality across multiple dishes, from the fish to a vegan carrot cake to a beef salad described as beautifully plated, and several mention returning more than once, including one group of twenty who noted every dish arrived together and on time. Service is repeatedly called warm and attentive, with more than one reviewer describing staff handling a problem, such as a payment issue, calmly and helpfully. The training-restaurant concept is mentioned often and clearly adds to the experience for many diners, who say knowing the purpose behind the place makes the meal feel more worthwhile.
Given the volume and consistency of praise, HAVEN suits travellers looking for a relaxed sit-down meal rather than a quick bite, including groups, couples, and anyone wanting vegan or vegetarian choices alongside more standard dishes. It is closed on Mondays, so plan around that, and the garden setting makes it a good lunch stop if you are already exploring the area rather than a destination requiring a special detour, though several guests treat it as exactly that.

6 STARS! Beautiful! Service wonderful, food delish (could live on the fish and carrot cake - how is that piece of heaven vegan! ) mojitos (brilliant choices and beautifully made) and the coffee were outstanding. Went back and it’s consistently outstanding. Well done! Thank you. I think this might be the best place to eat in Siem Reap.

Our dining experience at HAVEN was easily one of the highlights of our time in Siem Reap. We went as a large group of 20 people, and we were blown away by the execution—every single person's food arrived all together and perfectly on time! Every dish was exceptional, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. The service was flawless—attentive, warm, and deeply welcoming.
A huge part of what makes this place so special is the owner. She was incredibly attentive throughout our meal, and it is so clear how much genuine pride she and her husband take in everything they do here.
That dedication shines through in HAVEN. Knowing that this beautiful restaurant operates as a training school to empower local youth, teaching them invaluable life and work skills to secure a bright future, makes dining here feel incredibly meaningful. It’s rare to find a place where world-class hospitality mee

Absolutely amazing food, so good myself and my partner came back a second time! I think it's the best curry I've ever tasted!
The concept behind the restaurant is fantastic and the owners are an inspiration! So inspiring that this is a training restaurant helping disadvantaged young adults learn lifelong skills they can carry with them. Knowing that you are contributing a small bit makes the food taste all the nicer 🥰

This restaurant wasn’t on my list. I noticed it while walking to Bean Embassy Roastery next door. The inviting garden setting caught my attention, and since it was lunchtime, I decided to give it a try.
The beef salad was beautifully presented, almost like a piece of art on the plate. But what stayed with me the most wasn’t just the food, it was the people. I still remember how warm, kind, and genuinely welcoming they were.
I had an issue with my payment at first, and the staff handled it with exceptional patience and calmness. They were helpful throughout and made what could have been a stressful moment feel easy and supported.
I’m really glad I ended up dining here and got to meet the owners and the team. You all made my time in Cambodia feel even more special, and it’s the kind of warmth that makes me want to come back again.
Sending love from Singapore ❤️❤️❤️

Came here three years ago and came back recently! Delicious food in an amazing garden-vibe ambiance! Staff were very helpful and friendly, and the owners are lovely to come over for a quick chat. I'll come back for more vegan tasting!
