Jawa Restaurant - Traditional Indonesian Food in Hamburg

Visited the Jawa Restaurant today and had lunch. Had a want tan soup in advance, very tasty in a very tasty broth, with pak choi and spring onions and 6 wontons, very tasty 😋 For the main course I had the beef 🐄 with eggplant🍆 on a hot sizzling plate (iron plate) with various vegetables. Absolutely delicious and next time I will probably work my way through this menu, the dishes are so delicious. The daily special of Indonesian cabbage rolls also sounded very tempting. The service is A1, very friendly hosts, and the restaurant is nicely decorated, price-performance ratio ok. The restaurant was packed with Indonesians, which is a good sign. A clear recommendation if you like good food, this is the right place!

Very authentic Indonesian food! Very inconspicuous from the outside and easy to miss, but nice and, above all, delicious inside. Just be careful with the spiciness levels...the three chillies are really serious

So tasty and big portion…!! I love it

Very tasty food, you're on holiday when it comes to taste. Service is attentive and very friendly. Unfortunately it is very loud when the restaurant is full.

I admit that the food is really delicious, unfortunately the waitresses are not all friendly. Some of the juteks should smile a little to show that Indonesian culture is known for being friendly and likes to smile.

the food was fantastic, but the owner was so rude.

Iga Bakar was the best. Goreng rice weren't so good.

The food was fantastic... We ordered 6 different dishes .each of them was very tasty... I never bean in Indonesia, but i can imagine that it tastes like here .. The Service was very friendly.. I'm definitely coming back. VERY IMPORTANT..NO CARDS....ONLY CASH

Food was okay, the portion is big and definitely more on the expensive side if you eat alone. However, I was not happy with the service. The lady who took order was friendly but the cashier did not even look at me.

Good food, unfriendly service. I’m not going back. Rude people don’t deserve my hard earned money. I hope they’ll improve their service.

The best Indonesian food in Germany, you can find it here!!! Mana Cici is very friendly, wants to chat with those of us who are eating, even asked for the recipe, we told everything!! The best!!! Good luck, Cici & Koko for creating this magical restaurant that makes me, who hasn't been home to Indonesia for a long time, feel like I'm sitting in a restaurant in Jakarta. Luph ❤️

It was incredibly good! Price-performance is great. Any time again 👌🏼

Unfortunately I had bad service today, I am very disappointed because the cook and waitress were so unfriendly. I don't think I want to go there anymore.

Totally silly, pay up to four euros extra for really hot!...do you get a whole chili bush for that??!!

We thought it was excellent. The restaurant is nicely decorated, but has a bit of a canteen feel. The service was very nice and the food was great. For me the best Rendang outside of Indonesia so far. Price/performance is also absolutely fair. If we came from Hamburg, we would like to come back.

I ordered Rendang and Bebek rica-rica. Both are delicious but the rendang is typically Javanese rendang not minang, but it is worth a try.

Very tasty, authentic food. Good service. The location and view aren't that great but it's about the food. As a precaution, you should make a reservation!

very authentic and super tasty!! Jawa has a lot of choices of Indonesian food. The portion is large. It really tastes like back home. We would love to come back...

The food was really good, but there wasn't enough choice at lunch. This time the waitress is friendly and nice.

Java Restaurant is an absolute must for Indonesian cuisine lovers! The dishes are authentic and incredibly delicious - you won't find anything like it anywhere else. The central location in Hamburg also makes it very easy to reach. Definitely worth a visit!

Almost every dish we tried is delicious. Even the tea is spectacular. We had - crispy duck 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 - batagor with peanut sauce - fried noodle

just b food garbage service never mind

Authentic cuisine, friendly staff, moderate prices, definitely recommended

Arrived at 17:55 and although people were inside eating. They said they were closed.

I've read some of the one star reviews and they all contradict the facts because I've been through the same thing. Today I was there at 5:05 p.m. (closing time in Google 7:00 p.m.). You already said the restaurant is closed. Of course we were dissatisfied and left the restaurant, stood at the front and searched for another restaurant in Google. Then we saw a couple go in and they actually sat down there. It's really disappointing because this problem is still the same for two years and I hope the boss and manager think about it, find another employee and change the closing time in Google to act more professionally

Good food, easy to find parking spot. Reachable by S-Bahn (city train)

This is the best restaurant with delicious food! The quality is top notch. Very friendly staff. Cozy and calm atmosphere. All dishes were very tasty and fresh. I recommend!

Unusually delicious and good quality food! Service extremely friendly, courteous and personable. It was really really really good! Highly recommended!

Completely renovated. Rich and delicious. It is not without reason that it is very popular with local Indos from all over Germany.

Freundliche Grüße und lecker essen. Genug Auswahl auch für Vegetarier. Ambiente super. Empfehlen für andere Leute die gerne Jawa Gerichten essen.

For the first time I ate delicious Indonesian food in Hamburg and it tasted very good. top quality

The food came very quickly and was very tasty and plentiful. The service was attentive. It is hardly important that a meal was initially forgotten. It was delivered quickly. All in all highly recommended!

Absolute recommendation! Rarely have we eaten such delicious Indonesian food. Price-performance absolutely okay. Gladly again! :)

The food is quite okay. You can't say anything bad.

They are very large portions. But everything was super tasty

The rendang is really delicious!

Love the interiors and the atmosphere. The food is decent enough, mostly offers Chinese-Indonesian cuisine

the woman was very unfriendly, the big woman

The best place to try Indonesian food in Hamburg has to be Jawa. :) We ordered M10 & M12 from the Lunch menu and it was one of the best choice we made coz the food was extremely delicious as well as the side sauce ( red garlic Chutney) makes it even more tasty :) Highly recommended to try this as well as the ambience is pretty good very calm and quiet which makes having lunch here more pleasant and ofcourse the staff is very helpful as they converse in both German and English which is a plus point :) Please do visit here :)

I was there with my little son and it was a really relaxed visit thanks to the great service. Our food was seasoned extra mildly so that my child could eat it without any problems. The portion was too big for me alone, since my child ate 1/3 with pleasure, there was nothing left. All the employees and the owner were very nice and attentive. We really enjoyed the food and felt very comfortable. If we go to Hamburg again, we will definitely eat at Jawa again.

The food was super tasty and a lot. We were more than full. The service was very friendly and accommodating. We would eat here again at any time when we are in Hamburg. Thank you.

Its opening hours just not practical

Das Java ist ein recht authentisches indonesisches Restaurant in Hamburg dessen gut gekürzten Speisen den Liebhabern asiatischer Küche gefallenen wird. Die Portionen sind aber so gross, dass kein normaler Mensch sie schaffen kann.

Super tasty and extremely authentic. Highly recommended, even if a bit remote. Unfortunately, you rarely get that even authentically spicy. No, the food was spicy and very tasty. Thanks

This is a genuine Indonesian restaurant, one of very few in Hamburg, located a bit off the beaten path. It’s more or less a family restaurant. The interior is nice and spacious. The food is good, and quality is consistent. The staff is professional, but not exceedingly friendly and rather a bit cold. The restaurant only accepts cash. We have been here many times and enjoy a genuine Indonesian dish, in spite of the service. The menu is very extensive. The opening hours are odd - the restaurant is only open for lunch.

Hello you always have good food at Jawa Restaurant...

Food was excellent. Better than any Indonesian place I’ve been in Europe so far. Service was actually good, though I didn’t have to deal with more senior staff. Highly recommended!

Very tasty and authentic Indonesian cuisine restaurant! We tried their legendary Rendang dish 😍 (stewed beef in coconut sauce 🍲🥥). It is a rich meat-based dish that is slow-cooked and braised in coconut milk, can’t recommend it enough!! Also, we took fried chicken breast with peanut sauce (Ayam goreng tepung saos Kacang), it was delicious too! Recommend!! 👌🏼

Very friendly and nice staff, prices are also good, large portions and delicious food Gladly again

Big portions and overall delicious taste!! The place is quite spacious and the atmosphere is very comfortable. Anyway, my favorite Balinese Spiced Grilled Chicken 🫶🏼🫶🏼

Extremely delicious & authentic food - it tastes like back home! We have already tried a few dishes and everything was really delicious! I particularly recommend Wantan Goreng, Mie Sup Wantan with Bakso, Ayam Kremes, Nasi Goreng and Sate Ayam. The service is always very friendly and attentive. I can also recommend the weekend specials, which are always different! (e.g. Nasi Campur, Soto Ayam, Bubur Ayam etc.)

Rather inconspicuous from the outside, very comfortably furnished inside. The food tastes outstanding. Despite the many guests, the staff is consistently friendly, courteous and attentive. The hoisin sauce is to die for!

Even though we were there before 6 p.m. our order was not accepted, they said the boss had already closed the kitchen. It's a shame if you don't even stick to the times given. Even though we were there on time and had announced it by phone, we asked for it again on site but it was not accepted. Because of this incompetence of goodwill NOT recommended!!! If access is only until 5:30 p.m., then you should check this on your website. We didn't need the card because we already knew what we wanted to eat and tried to accommodate them to save time. Didn't know that it was part of their restaurant rules to have to look at the menu. In addition, we weren't told on the phone that access was only until 5:30 p.m., we were told if we got there before 6 p.m. we could then order. That was also the main reason why we were deeply disappointed. But thanks anyway for the tip to take a closer look.

Nice food, if only they open for dinner on weekdays!

The dishes are extremely authentic and tasty. The Rendang in particular is a dream. The service is equally warm. The location could be nicer. Nevertheless, I always like to come back

Was there for lunch last Thursday. Food was very tasty. Service was relatively quick, although I was told it would probably take about 30 minutes to prepare the food. You can only pay in cash there.

Cute restaurant. You'd walk right past it if you didn't know it's there. Friendly staff. Good price. There's multiple vegan options.

A real insider tip! This family business impresses with authentic and delicious cuisine. The prices are fair and the employees (daughters) always give friendly and helpful recommendations. My favorite dish is definitely the rendang. Highly Recommended!

The food was super good and the portions are huge! The service is nice and funny. I like to come here more often :)

Unfortunately we didn't like it. The sauces were very bland, one was much too sweet and the other only tasted like sweet soy sauce. The mango was not fresh and the duck was inedible due to the sauce. We know Indonesian cuisine well, but unfortunately the dishes we ordered were a disappointment. The restaurant was very busy and the waitresses were not attentive. We waited over 30 minutes when we wanted to pay. We were ignored, as was the food that was almost untouched. We ended up having to pay at the bar, where the staff was also unfriendly. The toilets urgently need renovation! Attention: Only cash payment possible

Very good food and first class service. Highly Recommended. We will come back in any case!

The first time I set foot in Germany, I immediately browsed Indonesian cuisine and came across this restaurant, Indonesian cuisine, especially Javanese cuisine, it tastes delicious, the portions are large, 1 portion of fried rice can serve 2 people

As always, very tasty. Very large portions

Super tasty, large portion and very friendly service. Just keep in mind the opening times, you have to hurry for dinner after work. You will then be rewarded for it. 👍

Ordered bakmie goreng, it tastes really good and really authentic. The service is also excellent!

the waitress was incredibly rude. Never again!

The food deserves 100 stars! One of the best Asian restaurants in Hamburg.

Good, authentic food that I can testify to since I'm Javanese, but the service could use a bit more work

Delicious food. Unfortunately the atmosphere is not very comfortable. Service was friendly, but an order was forgotten. Minus point: only cash payment.

Super leckeres und authentisches Essen direkt in der City! Hier gehen meine Kollegen und ich sehr gerne in der Mittagszeit essen. Das Essen ist grandios und die Servicekräfte nett und aufmerksam. Location ist jetzt nicht super fancy, muss ich aber auch nicht haben. Preise sind echt fair!

Pelanan nya gaa bgtt sumpahh deh, mba“nyaa jutekk, ga ramah, kalau ngomong nada tinggi. Kita jg disini beli kali bukan maling wkkwkw gtu amattt deh… untuk makanan sih oke, tapi layanan nya NOL BGTTT, tolong di tingkatkan lagi pelayanannya, supaya orang jg nyaman kalau makan disitu. Thanks

Heute haben wir uns spontan entschieden, im Jawa etwa zum Mitnehmen zu kaufen. Total nette Bedienung, super leckeres Essen und faire Preise. Kartenzahlung war leider nicht möglich, aber zum Glück Paypal.

Das Essen ist so lecker da 😍 Schade finde ich, dass es abends nicht so lange auf hat. Da schafft man dann leider nur am Wochenende hinzugehen. Aber jeder Besuch ist immer wieder eine tolle und leckere Erfahrung.

Sehr leckeres Essen. Zum Abendessen Öffnungszeiten beachten.

Super Mittagstisch - super leckeres Essen !

Das Essen war gut und authentisch. Leider war der Service sehr schlecht und entsprach nicht der indonesischen Gastfreundschaft.😭

Their Bakso has similar taste as we have in Indonesia, authentic

War sehr lecker und wir wurden auch schnell bedient. Kann man nur empfehlen, ist aber nicht für jeden etwas, wenn man Indonesisch nicht mag

Immer wieder , fast wie in der Heimat

Bei einer Suche nach authentischen asiatischen Restaurants sind wir auf das Jawa gestoßen - und wurden nicht enttäuscht. Das Essen weckte Kindheitserinnerungen! Schmeckte super lecker und die Atmosphäre war auch gut. Wir kommen definitiv wieder

Für dieses Restaurant lohnt sich der Aufwand andernthalb Stunden von Bremen nach Hamburg mit dem Auto. Nirgendwo sonst bekomme ich solch authentisch Indonesische Speisen geboten, welche mich an Heimat und Kindheit erinnern. Zugegeben spricht hier sehr viel persönliche Begeisterung heraus und mein Sohn hat am Restaurant viel zu meckern von "Lecker, aber nicht gesund" bis hin zu "durch und durch authentischer Dekoration und Atmosphäre von traditionellen Indonesischen Gaststätten". Aber genau das will ich und genau das bekomme ich hier. Sei es ikan lele, martabak oder es cendol, es ist perfekt Indonesisch. Der Besuch für Landsleute die in Deutschland länger leben nahezu ein Muss um der Heimat wieder ein bisschen näher zu sein. Sei es nur wegen dem sambal terasi. Natürlich bietet das Restaurant auch Speisen an die dem "westlichen Gaumen mehr munden" wie leckere gebratene Ente in Mango-Soße. Kriegt man hier auch, nur keine 08/15 Speisen wie bei pseudo-Mongolen/Chinesen/Japanern im Buffet. Hier ist es a la carte und echt. Preise stimmen auch. Nur manchmal recht schwierig da das Restaurant abgelegen liegt mit schlechten Parkmöglichkeiten. Hinzu kommt das es praktisch immer gut belegt ist. Aber die Speisen sind es wert. Und der rege Kundenzulauf spricht dafür. Selamat makan!

Gut zum Mittagessen, gute Preis Leistung, schnelles Essen.

The food is excellent, but the service leaves much to be desired due to the unfriendly and infamous rude waitstaff

Wir fahren Richtung Schweden ganz oft & natürlich haben wir Jawa Restaurant immer besucht. Wie immer köstlich & sehr authentisch!

M3 M3 M3. Ich kann es nur empfehlen. M3. Toller und super freundlicher Service, der auch immer freundlich ist auch wenn der Laden voll ist. Mittagstisch ist total zu empfehlen. M3. 😛

Sehr authentisches Essen, absolut lecker, reichlich und preislich auch total im Rahmen! Der Service war aufmerksam und sympathisch. Das Restaurant ist leider etwas außerhalb, aber trotzdem voll - man sollte auf jeden Fall reservieren! Und Bargeld mitbringen... Leider nicht mehr ganz zeitgemäß. Wir kommen wieder!

Super leckeres Essen, große Portionen, Bedienung routiniert aber aufmerksam. Ambiente nett, die Beleuchtung könnte man durch ein kleines Lichtchen auf dem Tisch NOCH schöner gestalten

Klassische Gerichte. Netter Service. Gute Mittagskarte

Last week was my 3rd visit to this Indonesian Restaurant and I couldn't recommend it more! We ordered Nasi Goreng (Fried Rice), Wonton Soup, Sate Kambing (Goat Satay), and Es Cendol. They were all on point with authentic taste (I know because I'm Indonesian). The portion was also satisfying as you can see in the photo with that big portion of fried rice. The staffs were also very accommodating and friendly. Definitely worth a visit if you're craving for authentic Indonesian cuisine!

Tempatnya enak, makanannya juga enak. Saya ajak teman-teman volunteer asal amerika latin pada suka semua sama makanannya. Makasih banget. 🥺👍

Das meiste wurde bereits gesagt. Meine Zusammenfassung: Essen: Gut Service: Schlecht

What a lovely restaurant. Mie Bebek Pangsit Bakso was unforgettable taste. Highly recommended!!

Hier dreht sich alles um traditionelles Indonesien essen. Ein anrader

nette bedienung, leckeres essen, große portion. absolut zu empfehlen!

Für uns das beste Indonesische Restaurant in ganz Hamburg. Traditionell und von Geschmack, so wie man von der Indonesische Küche kennt. Es gibt den Mittagstisch, große Portion, für wenig Geld. Selbst viele Einheimischen Indonesier, gehen dort sehr gerne essen. Preisleistungsverhältniss bezahlbar und man wird richtig satt. Wenn man mit mehreren Personen dort essen geht, sollte man ein Tisch reservieren. Manchmal auch mehrere Wochen vorher ankündigen. Zur zweit, kriegt man eher ein Tisch, wenn man Glück hat, wenn man spontan hinfährt. Wir kommen immer gerne wieder. Vielen Dank

Das Restaurant liegt etwas unscheinbar, ist aber nett eingerichtet. Das Essen ist 100% authentisch und lecker. Achtung: Mo-Do ist die Küche nur bis 18h offen, letzte Bestellung ca. 17:30. Keine Kartenzahlung, nur Cash!

Super. Das Essen ist echt lecker und die Preis Leistung Verhältnis ist perfekt.

Das Essen war unfassbar gut. Wir waren zu viert da und hatten Recht unterschiedliche Gerichte, es war alles überragend. Ja man wartet zwischendurch lange auf Getränke, aber es ist wirklich noch ein Familienbetrieb. Das das Essen nicht nur uns gut geschmeckt hat, sondern authentisch ist sieht man auch am Publikum. Viele Gäste kommen optisch aus dem indonesischen Raum. Beim nächsten Mal in Hamburg kommen wir garantiert wieder!!

Vor Harry Potter sind wir hier eingekehrt - ihr habt neue Stammgäste gewonnen! Wir kommen definitiv öfter wieder So leckeres Essen, eine nette Atmosphäre, fußläufig gut zu erreichen.. Perfekt!

Sehr leckeres indonesisches Essen! Die Ente in Mangosauce ist sehr zu empfehlen. Die Portionen sind groß und preiswert. Die Speisekarte hat allerlei zu bieten an indonesischen Spezialitäten, auch ein paar „normale“ asiatische Gerichte sind vorhanden. Einziges Manko ist, dass man nicht mit Karte zahlen kann.
