About Warung Melatie

Warung Melatie is a takeaway counter, known locally as an afhaalcentrum, at Vierambachtsstraat 80 in the Delfshaven district of Rotterdam. The business describes its food as Javanese and Surinamese, a combination that reflects a food tradition found widely in the Netherlands: many Dutch residents of Javanese descent trace their ancestry through Suriname, a former Dutch colony that itself received large numbers of Javanese contract laborers in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and the resulting Javanese-Surinamese cuisine, distinct from both Indonesian and Afro-Surinamese cooking, has become a familiar part of Dutch takeaway food culture. The warung's own website and a secondary restaurant directory independently agree on its address and phone number, +31 10 425 7464.

The counter's menu includes saoto soup, a turmeric-yellow chicken broth with glass noodles, bean sprouts, and hard-boiled egg that is one of the most recognizable dishes in Javanese-Surinamese cooking and takes its name from the Javanese soto; roti chicken, a flatbread-wrapped curry dish drawn from the Hindustani-Surinamese side of Suriname's food culture and commonly sold alongside Javanese dishes at Dutch warungs; Javaanse moksi, a mixed rice plate combining multiple side dishes in one portion; and sate skewers served with peanut sauce. As an afhaalcentrum rather than a sit-down restaurant, the business is built around counter service and takeaway orders rather than table seating, with a casual, fast-moving atmosphere typical of Rotterdam's neighborhood warungs, and walk-in customers are welcome without a reservation. A typical order runs roughly 10 to 20 euros per person.

The business is open seven days a week except Tuesday, with hours of noon to 8:00 PM on the days it trades; this schedule is confirmed directly on the warung's own website. Warung Melatie sits within walking distance of several other long-running Indonesian and Surinamese food businesses in Delfshaven, a historic Rotterdam district near the old harbor that has for decades hosted a concentration of Indonesian-diaspora food shops and warungs, including Warung Mini, already listed separately in this directory.
