I thoroughly enjoyed my meal at Tinfeny's. For my main dish, I ordered the Tom Yum Soup. It was so flavourful and aromatic. For the appetisers, we order the pork dumplings and the satay chicken. Both of which did not disappoint. I found that the portion sizes of the meals was perfect, further emphasising that this is a great restaurant. Additionally, I quite liked the lychee cocktail.

I went here for my birthday and the place was fantastic. They were really prompt with the booking. The food was delicious and they had plenty of options for my vegan friend. The service was top notch, they were very accommodating even for my lateness and ended up staying open a little longer. Will definitely be back!

Amazing authentic Cambodian cuisine! My whole family and I went there to celebrate 2 birthdays, we were a big group, the staff are so accomodating and lovely — the type of service that makes people want to come back, so thank you so much. Everything was so flavourful, love how the menu offers variety of choices. We ordered so much, too many to list down, but all I can say is we all enjoyed our food. Exceptionally delicious! Incredible drinks too — highly recommend their mocktails! The place is so beautiful with a cool tropical vibe. Such a great place for a special occasion! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
