Why it matters
Why Chusska is worth your time
Vegetarian Indian restaurants are scarce in Siem Reap, and a vegetarian kitchen that is also halal serves a wider group of Indian travellers than most. For a family with mixed dietary rules, a single kitchen that avoids meat removes one source of argument at the table.
It is also a low-cost option in a town where many tourist restaurants charge hotel prices. The honest caveat is that the evidence is a single directory listing, so use it as a lead and confirm the details in person rather than relying on it.

How to experience it
Chusska sits on Street 7, close to the Old Market. Its Zabihah listing describes it as the only pure Indian halal vegetarian restaurant in Siem Reap, with Indian cuisine at the lowest price tier. We did not find a menu we could cite, so treat what you order as something to confirm with the staff.
The Old Market location makes it easy to combine with a morning at the market or a walk by the river. Go at lunch if you want the street to be calmer, and use a tuk-tuk for the return if the heat is high. Ask what is cooked fresh that day and how spicy it is.
The listing does not say whether eggs are used, and it says nothing about Jain cooking, so we have not marked either. If you avoid egg, onion or garlic, say so clearly before you sit down. Staff at small Indian restaurants can often adjust a dish, but this is worth checking yourself.
