Sarinah is a Javanese-Surinamese restaurant on the Verlengde Gemenelandsweg, on the road out towards the Hermitage Mall rather than in the historic centre.

Its useful characteristic is the timing. Directory listings put it open from 07:30 to 17:00 Monday to Saturday and closed Sunday, which makes it a lunch and daytime option rather than a dinner one — the opposite of most restaurants a visitor will find recommended. If you want Javanese food in the middle of the day without going out to Blauwgrond, this is the answer.

We have not been able to read a menu published by the restaurant itself, so we do not list dishes or prices. The hours and phone number above come from a directory listing checked on 21 August 2026, not from the restaurant, and are worth confirming by phone.
