Awesome to say the least. This is a family restaurant with a strong Asian vibe. The fish curry was unexpectedly awesome. Would love to come back with my family for sure.

We've moved out of the city but this is one of the few places worth making the drive for. Hardena is special.

I came twice during regular open hours and the metal gate was down and it shut up tight.

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!

Unfortunately I found the food to be a bit bland… hoped it would have been spicier. The house made sambal helped.

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! not too rich, but w enough heaviness to hold you down as a drink/dessert feel. the addition of fruits inside is definitely a plus!
do not sleep on Indonesian food! this place has a customer for life here! definitely highly recommend! will be back - maybe tomorrow!

Such an absolute treasure in Point Breeze.
Great vegan, vegetarian, and meat options and the prices for the portions are great. Love the eggplant, the fritters, anything with tempeh. Don't sleep on their salads they're fresh and huge.

Food is on the pricier side because you are charged based on how many sides you get + you have to get a certain number of sides per each plate. Expect to pay between $20-$30 per plate (rice and 2-4 sides). Seating-wise, they can accommodate 14 people maximum with small tables. Service largely depends on how many people are in line because they serve the food cafeteria style meaning they scoop food from trays onto plates before handing them out to each person individually. Generally the service is pretty slow because it's only ever one employee. However, she is nice and able to answer any questions you may have about the food. I always leave here super full. Beware that food is secretly kind of salty or has MSG because while it is tasty, it will make you THIRSTY!

Yummy! But the prices are a bit much. Glad I came, but I can’t justify coming back after spending that much
