Rawon Setan Embong Malang
Rawon Setan Mbak Endang
The most famous established rawon shop in Surabaya, serving black kluwek broth with large chunks of beef, named "Setan" (Devil) due to its historic late-night hours.
Located at Jalan Embong Malang No. 78, across the street from the JW Marriott Hotel. The signature black broth of rawon comes from the kluwek nut, and the beef is generous and tender. It can be paired with fried beef (empal), salted egg, and beef spleen. The name "Setan" comes from the fact that the original shop used to open only late at night. A portion of rawon costs about 38,000 to 50,000 IDR. Some diners mention that it is cash-only, so it is recommended to bring enough cash. It is easily accessible from the city center on foot or by taxi, and gets crowded during late-night hours.

Sunday to Tuesday approx. 08:00-23:00; Wednesday to Saturday open until 03:00 the next day (hours may vary slightly across sources)
