Food is amazing! The staff is so nice and I love the atmosphere of the space. I was blown away by the collard greens, corn fritters and lamb and goat curry. They didn’t have their drinks when I visited but I will be back to try!

Absolutely transportive! I felt like I was back in South East Asia. They nail everything so well, down to the disposable white plastic plates 😅 the food was all so expertly seasoned. I can't wait to go back. The only thing I wish different is that it was closer to my home!

literally polished off my food to write this review. absolutely excellent food! my first time here and had to do some research. thankfully the reviews helped make the decision easier. place is small, cozy, colorful. this translate to their food; bite size, comforting, and flavorful. the lady behind the counter was very nice and pleasant. took the time to explain the food to a couple in front who was obviously new to the cuisine (as am I). was recommended the beef rendang (beef stew in a coconut base) and had w it collard greens. also had an order of 5x chicken sate (skewers in peanut sauce) and the es teler drink. the 1st bite of the beef rendang and 100% hooked. talk about tendernism! my goodness the flavor! all of the above you could ask for in a tender beef stew - this has it! the greens were soft, paired well w the stew. the sauce over the rice was just perfect! the sates came in 5 and bite sizes but packed a huge flavors! their pickled cabbage salad was a perfect combination w thw savory peanut sauce drenched skewers topped w fried onions. I'm saving the sauce for rice @ home! the drink - which was described to me as sweet, creamy, a bit sour - all up my alley. delicious!

Been here multiple times and will continue to come here whenever I have a craving for indonesian food! Portion size is generous. The sides are all delicious. The drink options they serve are good. Recommend the Beef Rendang and Bakwan.

Hardena, a gem we discovered years ago on Food Network, finally made it onto our Philadelphia itinerary! While street parking can be tricky, a nearby paid lot offered a convenient solution. The restaurant itself is cozy, with just a few tables for dine-in. It's more of a fast-casual setup, where you order at the counter. Keep in mind, there's no AC or fan, so it can get warm. Despite the heat, the food truly shines. It's delicious Indonesian cuisine, though not specific to the Surabaya region. Unfortunately, some items sell out quickly, which was the case during our 3 pm visit. While it's on the pricier side, the unique flavors are worth the splurge. Highly recommend Hardena, but be prepared for limited seating and a potentially warm environment.
