Café Restaurant Yanti

For a flavorful deviation from standard island fare, Café Restaurant Yanti brings the vibrant tastes of Suriname and Indonesia to the heart of Oranjestad. Founded in 2007 by Arnold and Ria, this cozy, family-run establishment has built a loyal following among locals and adventurous tourists alike. The restaurant is known for its warm, unpretentious hospitality and “mom-and-pop” vibe, decorated with plants and traditional cultural touches that make you feel right at home.

The menu is a celebration of spices and comfort food. It is best known for its Surinamese Roti—a soft flatbread served with curry chicken or beef, potatoes, and long beans—and its authentic Indonesian Saté, featuring skewered meat covered in a rich, homemade peanut sauce. Whether you are looking for a hearty lunch of Nasi Goreng (fried rice) or a bowl of comforting Saoto Soup, Café Restaurant Yanti delivers genuine flavors at affordable prices, making it a true hidden gem just minutes from the main shopping streets.
