The Good Stuff
Excellent croissant
The croissant has a crisp exterior and soft interior; pistachio and almond versions were also mentioned positively.
Dynamite shrimp
Dynamite shrimp stands out more strongly than the chicken noodles in one Asian-fusion meal.
Friendly service
Multiple reviews describe the staff as warm and attentive, including patient explanations of the food.
Calm setting
The small dining room is described as calm, minimal, clean and well kept, making it suitable for a quiet meal.
Authentic nasi goreng
One reviewer specifically found the nasi goreng authentic and good.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check timing. Visit outside busy periods if possible: one table received its sushi and juice 40 minutes after ordering.
Confirm sauce. If ordering the Happiness noodle bowl non-spicy, confirm that it still includes sauce and the listed greens.
Check availability. Ask whether a dish is available before ordering; one guest was told an item was unavailable almost 30 minutes later.
Parking. Reviews describe parking as easy, useful context if you are driving to this Nad Al Sheba spot.
Early coffee. For an early coffee run, do not rely on the stated 6 AM opening: one reviewer repeatedly could not order before 7 AM.

The Bottom Line
Haryanto Restaurant is an Asian restaurant and bakery in Nad Al Sheba, combining Indonesian-rooted Pan Asian food with coffee and pastries. The strongest reasons to consider it are the beef noodles, Wagyu Indomie, dynamite shrimp and croissants. One reviewer found the beef noodles deeply flavoured with tender meat, while another called the croissant crisp outside and soft inside.
The setting is compact, calm and minimal rather than spacious. It works well for a quiet bite, though the small room can feel tight. Parking was described as easy, and table ordering and payment are available, which may feel a little different if you expect traditional table service.
Food quality is not completely consistent. Other reviews describe authentic nasi goreng, tasty ramen, burgers and friendly service, but sushi rice was criticised as watery and portions were called too small. Some guests also found dishes bland or not worth the price.
Allow extra time during busy periods: one order took 40 minutes for the sushi and juice, and another delivery was delayed before preparation. If ordering the Happiness noodle bowl non-spicy, confirm the sauce and greens, and check dish availability before settling in. Families should note that baby seats were available but no children’s food options were reported.
