Ramayana Restaurant

Quick, cheap & easy. The ladies that work here are lovely. The food is delicious. Arguably the best hidden gem inexpensive lunch in town. Check it out !

Little hole in the wall with the nicest people and the most delicious beef rendang. Home cooking....delicious!

I tried this restaurant once. It's not nasty but it's not as good as Hardena. I had the jackfruit, greens and rice. One issue is the food is a little to mushy for my liking. It's a bit overcooked. It also had a bit of a weird taste to it and I couldn't put my finger on what it was. The inside of the store isn't great looking but most places like this have the best food. Customer service was good. She was able to let me know all of the vegan options. It was really affordable for the amount of food they give you.

One Of best meals I've had this year n affordable. Had the #7 which I believe was the beef stew. Just as good I think as Hardena, but more under the radar I guess tho it shouldn't be. It's good that their both not far from each other in case one is closed you can head to the other lol. Cash only and worth stopping in. Seating is similar hardena as well. Gotta go back

My friends and I stumbled into this place to seek shelter from rain and some Indonesian comfort food. It's a hole in the wall mom and pop restaurant, tucked away on the corner of 11th and Moore. The food is ready to serve behind the display window at the front counter. The woman helping us was friendly and more than happy to point and explain what each dish was to us. You can choose 3 entrees over rice for just $7. We ordered 2 plates, one with 3 meats and one with 3 veggies, along with a soda and bottled water all for just $18! The portion sizes were massive and we had ample leftovers between the 3 of us. We couldn't get over what a steal it was, and if we lived nearby we would probably frequent this place regularly for a cheap but filling and tasty meal. Our favorite pick was the spicy beef, and I also enjoyed the fritters that came on the side. The veggies were fine, nothing to write home about, the proteins are the star of the show. I'd probably stop by again next time I'm in the area but wouldn't make a special trip just for the food.

This place has amazing value and unforgettable flavors. This camouflaged gem piles on delicious authentic food for a great price. This place is takeout only, and the options are all visible from their front serving table. I highly recommend their beef rendang and tempeh tofu. The beef stew and spicy stew also pair amazing with their rice. And don't forget to get some of their delicious sambal. This place is a one of our favorite takeout places; try this place and find out why!

Bomb bomb bomb!!!!Words cannot describe how much I LOVE THIS PLACE Regardless of what you order, you will NOT be disappointed my friend.My absolute favorite is the salmon. They use the fat cuts and skin of the salmon to cook (fry?) in the perfect combination of spices and oh man, the flavors are to die for!Trust me, you will be blessing your taste buds with ANYTHING you order!Super friendly staff who doesn't mind to add you extra rice if you add, cause you know you're low key fat, like me, heh

Never had this kind of food before, so I took the risk and tried it. It was GOOD! I had the beef stew (sorry! Don't know the names) with steamed rice, veggies in coconut gravy and some sort of fried veggies in a dough. You can taste everything is made out of scratch and fresh. I will try more Indonesian food if I see it again! Thank you!

I always feel iffy giving 3 stars, but there wasn't really anything that wowed me when my boyfriend and I picked up food for dinner last night. The buffet-style food that looked like it'd been sitting out all day wasn't an immediate turnoff, I just wish that it was actually warm. I got the spicy beef, which was pretty great, but the chicken dish was dry and didn't have much taste, which really disappointed me since I've heard a lot of great things about Indonesian food. The plus side is that for the price, the food excelled for the most part. My boyfriend got the beef stew and he seemed to like it (it was only okay to me), but seeing as how our food combined came out to $14, it was probably the cheapest "date night" we've ever had. Definitely wouldn't come back if we weren't in the neighborhood, but it's worth a try if you are in South Philly.

This is basically a small mom and pop restaurant. I was not sure at first upon entering the place, but don't judge the book by its cover. There are some ready made food in the heated containers in the front, you get to choose 1 meat and 2 veggies for $7.50. I chose mackerel, collard greens, and spicy tofu. I also added a veggie fritter. As you can see in my photo the portion is plentiful. What this place lacks in decor and ambiance it more than makes up with delicious food. I asked the owner which regional cooking this is, and she said Surabaya (Java). Parking around the restaurant may be difficult because it is a typical S. Philly residential block, but if you drive around you are bound to find a spot.
