Autana Authentic Venezuelan Food 4 Station Avenue, Ardmore, PA 19003

"Restaurant located in the heart of Ardmore. Server and hostess were very warm and friendly. Food came out relatively quickly and was delicious. I highly recommend the Pabellón bowl with beef. Ordered some drinks (non-alcoholic), both of which were refreshing. Friend ordered mint lemonade and I ordered papelón con limon, which is like lemonade and a rich honey. I look forward to returning and trying more tasty dishes."

"Vegetarian perspective Wow....what a hidden gem! Came here for lunch and the place was packed! The food was delicious, service amazing and vibe was trendy/modern. I loved being able to try new things ...it's not often I can do this as a vegetarian! They had so many options, including a number of vegan options. Our server (the chefs son) was such a help in making our decisions on what to get. It's a family business and everyone has a role. Loved that! When telling family/friends about this place, they sounded intrigued to try Venezuelan food, but were worried it would be too spicy. All the food we got was mild, with dipping sauces that were mild-medium. From what I could tell, I'd say most of the menu fit into this spice level. They do special menus (like for Christmas) and have catering and to-go orders too. I hope to use them for an event soon!"

"We absolutely loved Autana!! This should be on everyone’s list to visit—a tremendous family-owned spot. The staff is super amazing and helpful with guiding you through the menu. The food was SO GOOD. Recommend trying some of their coffees out because they are delicious."

"I have no other experience with Venezuelan food but this one is fantastic. Small restaurant tucked away in Suburban Square Ardmore. Bright atmosphere, friendly service with good recommendations. Food is fresh, filling, and flavorful. The fried empanaditas are crispy and not too heavy. Pabellon criollo was a nice combination of flavors and textures. For the holiday we got a traditional pan de jamon to go, but we were too stuffed from lunch to try it yet."

"A hidden gem with some of the most delicious, authentic Venezuelan food you can find. The arepa was crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. The shredded beef was the perfect texture and the seasoning add an extra kick of flavor. The star of the show was the tres leches cake. Best I’ve had, so decadent with the sweetness balanced out with the fresh whipped cream. I’ll definitely be stopping back to try more!"
