Sarandonga in Allentown

Great music, good vibes. Tends to both your and older crowds. Bottle service is decent (I normally party in NY)

This is the "best Business" for food, drinks, music, and chilling out with family & friends or business lunch!!! This is an old-school gathering place that multi tasks & provides great vibes & leaves you feeling very good & wanting to come back for more!!

Great music, great food and overall a great place to hang with family and friends.

The food was delicious. The place have music inside and outside. They have a club next to the restaurant with the same name but you do not have access unless you pay to go inside. Regular tickets for the club are $10 when they have presentation can go higher. The service was good at the beginning but after they forgot that we were in a table and did not even bring the bill. If you do not care about good service but want good food then this is your place.

We had an excellent experience. Excellent customer service was provided, and the food was excellent.

Always A Great Time...The fact that the Bartenders knows what we drink by now.. w out asking.. Its Absolutely Fabulous! Which by the way theyre drinks are waaay better then any other spot out here its a Plus..And the Food is BANGING!Never a Dull Moment.

I think I might have had too much fun and was a little too drunk the times I was here. But, I must say that I have a blast every time I come here!The drinks are always on point and the yuca mofongo is amazing! Also, please try the guac and chicharron. I might be biased because I’m Dominican. But, it’s always a good time at this place.The price is reasonable and music is always on point.Try the restaurant or the club and you’re sure to have a good time!

We got to this place late, because was the only place open. But what a surprise. The food and the service was excellent, even that late, I definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a good Dominican restaurant. Definitely will comeback. Additional information, they also have a dance club right next door. So at night the volumen of the music will be really high, but if you are for a Latin music dance, this is your place.

Best food that i ever got i recommend to anyone

If you want horrible service and mediocre food, then this is the place for you. We were the first to enter the restaurant on an early Sunday afternoon and after a 2 hour wait, we were told that my husband’s main course was unavailable (right as the food for everyone in our table was arriving!).Prior to that, we had called one of the restaurant owners over to our table to ask about the status of our food and instead of being empathetic, she told me that she was also waiting on her food and was hungry because she hadn’t eaten!!! But she had family members sitting in 2 separate tables who arrived an hour after we did and received their food well before we did… absolutely ridiculous.When our food finally arrived, it was not even good - not worth that super long wait or the price AT ALL.I will commend the server on the other hand who was very helpful, and empathetic and after checking on the kitchen several times for our food, he apologized for all of the issues and seemed very sincere. Needless to say, we will never be going back.

I may be biased because I work at the club Friday Saturday and Sundays thats the women that come through there that makes job even better and the food is wonderful stop in and get you some do I get paid for this advertisement LOL

They got the best Mojitos in the city👏

The worse experience I had!!!! I went out to this club to have a good time with some friends and ended up being disrespected by a security guard! They checked my bag more then 2 times! and ended up pulling everything out of my bag and dropping it all over the floor and when I asked why they checking it multiple times he said I must be hiding something if he can’t check it while pulling my bag!! They didn’t even apologies for dropping my belongings on the floor!

To enter it was easy not alot of wait.. Tables were wobbly and in the way ... No space to dance since everyone is in the middle... The bathroom didnt have a toilet seat. The dj needs a play list it was all over the place..

Great food! Soooooo unbelievably good!

Great experience!!! Bottles was affordable, music was on point. Food was delicious

Wow, fantastic experience at this spot! Food (and servicewere both on point!

I had a incident while at the night club area. A light fixture fall on my face and resulted in a scar. I was bleeding, the security even followed me into the bathroom. I let it passed as I thought it was just an scratch yet as an administrator in a facility I asked for an incident report in case I had to get medical help for the scar. The manager told me to come the next day for the report. I called ahead to avoid not finding him. They told me he was not there. Left my number and still haven’t received a call. Unsafe and bad management response for a liability issue.

food and drink experience was amazing! Will def be coming back!! Ask for Wilson.

I Deff recommend this place ! The food was delicious everything was good . First time trying it and give it a 5 star

Loved it, the place, the food, the service! Im in love.I’ve been going to a lot of places but nothing compares with the taste of this place.

We visited here a few times in the past and always had a nice experience. During my most recent visit, the seating area has been changed. I really like the new setup its more private and intimate. Plus the seats are comfortable, yet fashionable in color and material. Our sever was pleasant and attentive. The food, drinks, and music will not disappoint. The overall ambiance of the restaurant is impressive and saves a trip into the city when looking for something a little more upscale however, still serving the food you enjoy!

Sarandonga is an experience that we all need to have THE FOOD IS DELICIOUS !!! But most of all the great service by Joa is just out of this wold this guys made sure that we all felt at home ill recommend this restaurant without a doubt Ill give it 10 stars if i could

Great Spanish food made. Reminded me of my mom and grandmothers cooking. Drinks are awesome and makes you want more.

Service was very poor and they took forever to take our order, the hookah there lasted only about 20 minutes. The manager came but didnt really help at all.

As I immediately arrived I was harassed by the security woman at the front door. When we got into the stage area wait staff was very slow n not really attentive.

Really Great food! Looking forward to going back. This here is Monfongo or Trifongo with Churrasco (Skirt Steak& Shrimp Scampi & Tostones (Fried Plantain)

Quesadilla was severely overpriced. Couldve went to taco bell and gotten the same quality of food for waaaay less the price

OMG is short to how I feel when I leave this place. I dont know why more people arent tuned to the place but I hope to see it around for long. Im into 3 items in their entrees and every time its an aawww. Thanks to the kitchen and staff Wilson bartender/Server waiter was awesome.

Atmosphere is inviting. Place is big and comfortable. L.A.M.A had our event there and we enjoyed it very much...👍👍👍

My Latina girlfriend wouldnt dance with me because I dont know bachata. Learn bachata before you come here. Other than that....great time good people

Food was good! Not excellent. Presentation is excellent. Sarandoga chefs cook with very strong sasón and them ( my personal casewill suffer from reflux? The flavor of the pernil is lost in the condiments. Maybe you will like it. Try it. And the service was fast, we have the idea the food was pre-ready!!! But not, Mofongo need to be prepare... Dont seat near the leaking roof or the broken tables... Dont let the place fall apart.The place is packed sometimes for the Dance, the music ( Latino, bachata, merenque...and the Hookah.

I visited this restaurant a couple of weeks ago for my mothers birthday. Food was great! Service was great! Drinks were great! Since I was planning a birthday event I decided to ask about catering. Mike the manager came over and discussed with us some prices and dishes he would be able to prepare in large platters so that we could use them to cater our party. He took down our information and told me he would call me back that night. Not only did he not call back but he did not return 5 calls ive made in the past two weeks to get more accurate pricing and place the order. For that alone I will not give this place any more business. Even if its for dine in. If a basic response isnt given (ESPECIALLY if its something that is bringing money to the businessthen it makes me feel like my business is not valued. I would not suggest trying to book large parties or events either. Dine in at most and I wont even be doing that anymore

Food is amazing and artistically prepared. Server was new but did well for a table of 9. I recommend the grilled octopus, it is delicious.

It was my first time I had the shrimp in garlic sauce with tostones and my boyfriend had the chicharon de pollo with tostones. I also had the coconut martini and tres leches for dessert. The service was great. Quick and friendly waiter. I would highly recommend.

Everyone was very nice, food was ok, but we couldn’t even eat as a family due to all of our food not being ready! Forgot half of our order and drinks, they can’t handle the pressure when they’re busy at all, wouldn’t recommend on a busy day at all!!!!!!!! Cute waiters though 🙂

The service was excellent. The manager Miguel is attentive and pleasant. The food was amazing. I highly recommend the Paella.

Waitress not too helpful. No English nor Spanish. Idk what language they speak but acted like they dont understand I tried both languages and she just acted like ??????.Food too greasy. I were there for a bday party and like 4 people got sick one kid started vomiting right in there. I believe they used colorants , msg, and bunch of stuff to make food look good. Not recommended. Sorry Sarandonga.

The food and the drinks are amazing ! But the best bartender Ive had yet is Trinidad Cruz !!! All i told him was that i liked coconut and he brings me his own personal drinks that are mind blowingly amazing !! And he is so attentive , i always have what i need .

The atmosphere is relaxing. Theres always Latin Jazz playing in the background. My wife have been there several times and I enjoy the variety of food, and the great drinks. This restaurant is one of Allentowns hidden jewels.

Absolutely great food is absolutely delicious! Management and staff have amazing customer service highly recommend that you visit and try their food..

I took a Bachata class and was totally impressed by the beautiful ambiance, bar and service people. The food looked great and all the staff was exceptionally friendy and courteous. I cant wait until I get back for dinner. Very classy bistro

We had a wonderful time. My family and I were treated with great Customer service and the food was Great!

Amazing food, amazing staff. If you havent been its definitely a one of a kind experience.

Great place, amazing mojitos the food awesome, and the service its great theyre always trying to please you and make your experience unforgettable.

Awesome food, very friendly staff and great atmosphere. If you stick around after 10 do t forget to checkout the nightclub next door.

Excellent food, friendly staff, great atmosphere! Prices for happy hr and food were reasonable. Telling everyone about this place!!!

What a pleasant surprise... This has been by far the best Dominican food Ive had in PA and maybe ever outside D. R. The food presentation is top notch and the taste is amazing. This is a refreshing change from the mediocre looking places that have good food. Highly recommend it... This will be one of my new goto places from now on.

I honestly was going to give it a 4 stars just because their servers are very inexperienced,  they take too long with only Little people in the restaurant. (Very nice but very inexperienced)  But the food is so freaking good I had to give it a 5 stars.  Drinks are also good,  everything they serve is so good and well decorated.  Very classy.  If their servers would get up to the rest of the restaurant level.  My goodness there would not be the need to go to new York to any nice restaurants.

Nice place to eat, and the best fried fish in the L.V area.
