Where to eat in Paramaribo: Javanese, Creole, roti and Chinese
Four everyday kitchens share one small city. This is what we have been able to verify about where to eat in each of them, and where the gaps are.

Warung Renah
A small Javanese warung on Josephine Samson Greenstraat in Blauwgrond, the district of northern Paramaribo where the city’s Javanese-Surinamese cooking is concentrated.
Best for cheap eats, javanese food.
Warung Renah is at number 106 on the Josephine Samson Greenstraat in Blauwgrond, next door but one to Mirosso at 104. It is the warung form: a small eating house of the kind often built in front of a family home, rather than a restaurant with a dining room.
Five of the Javanese places in this database sit on this one street, from Warung Ursi at 65 up to this one at 106, and not one of them publishes its opening hours.
The times that circulate for this address come from Google via aggregator sites and say Wednesday to Saturday from a quarter to five in the afternoon until quarter past ten, Sunday from one in the afternoon, closed Monday and Tuesday. No first-party source states any of it, and hours as precise as 16:45 are a sign of data that has been through a machine rather than read off a door. Treat it as an evening place and ring ahead.
