Why it matters
Why Magnolia Veggie Restaurant is worth your time
For an Indian family, a vegetarian restaurant serving Vietnamese-style noodles and rice is a different experience from a thali, yet it solves the same problem: you can order from the whole menu without worrying about meat stock. Dishes built on tofu and mock meat can also suit older diners who prefer soft food.
It is a reminder that the best vegetarian options in Phnom Penh are often Buddhist and Chinese-influenced rather than Indian. The menu is large, so it rewards a short conversation with staff about egg, and a second visit to try something different from your first order.

How to experience it
Magnolia is listed on HappyCow as an inexpensive vegetarian restaurant with an extensive Vietnamese-style menu of noodle, fried and rice dishes. It is cash only and offers outdoor seating. A Vegan Food Quest guide dated September 2026 gives the same street and daily hours, and its reviewer says the restaurant opened in 2024.
That reviewer ordered vegetable fried rice with mock ham and tofu and had the egg left out on request, and noted that a curry served with bread is usually not vegan elsewhere because it contains meat, so ask what the version here contains. Dishes that use egg are an everyday part of Vietnamese-style cooking, so the practical rule is simple: ask for 'no egg' with every order.
Go at an off-peak hour, take a table in the open area, and share two dishes between three people. Confirm that the address on the map matches the entrance you are looking at.
