Food: Decent dishes underline weakness
The Pan Fried Leek Cake steals the show at New Kamara, with customers praising its crispy skin and delicious filling. The Combination Noodle Soup and Beef Lok Lak also hold their own with a balance of savory and sweet flavors, though the lesser fresh ingredients and smaller portions do impart a dent on the dining experience. However, the food still manages to offer great value for money, making the meal a pleasant experience overall.

Vibe: Pleasantly quiet lacking aesthetic
Don't set out for a trendy evening at New Kamara — this spot is reminiscent more of a hole-in-the-wall than a hip establishment. The ambiance leaves much to be desired with old menus and decor, and the quiet, small space could use a bit of sprucing up. Nonetheless, there's a certain charm in the restaurant's hidden-gem feel.
Negative Buzz
Small and quiet, with missing ceiling boards and a leak.
Perks: Convenient parking with dreary waits
Efficiency isn’t New Kamara’s strength, with the service leaving a bad taste. The restaurant struggles with keeping the place clean and managing long wait times, especially for large groups. On the bright side, customers have a positive outlook on the availability of free, convenient parking.
Easy To Park
Free, ample, convenient parking are highly appreciated by many customers.
Bad Service
Service pretty horrible; dirty place; long wait times mentioned.
