Harana Market

"This was our first time trying Harana Market. Upon opening the door you are hit with an fantastic aroma of the food they are cooking. This instantly set up the start of an amazing meal. We were greeted upon entrance by a very sweet and informative individual. Spoke about how everything worked and the special on the menu/anything that was out of stock on arrival. The food was outstanding! Sadly no photos as the four of us dove in the second we got it. It is very difficult to find an eatery that seasons appropriately. Harana Market did not disappoint!! The flavour of every dish we had was on point. The food is melt in your mouth delicious and I will personally be a regular of the establishment after this. Every worker we met was extremely kind and it shows how amazing the owners and chef are. The people they have working are great representations of their values and I commend them as that is not an easy accomplishment. Everything about Harana exceeded expectations and we are so happy to have them in Accord. Thank you for all you do!!"

"I had a craving for Filipino food so I drove about an hour and fifteen minutes to get to Harana Market's new location in Accord. I had only ever been to their Woodstock location and I found it to be a charming little shop offering Asian snacks and ingredients along with a menu of familiar (if you grew up in a Filipino household) dishes. I also remember the smell of fried food in the air. I'm not saying that in a bad way; it smelled like my parents' house. It smelled of home. I ordered lumpia and tofu sisig (tofu, Thai basil, citrus "cream") last time. Very tasty - I made a mental note to visit again. Harana Market's new location is right on the banks of Roundout Creek. It's a gorgeous spot. Their parking lot is definitely the busiest and most packed compared to all the other restaurants on Route 209. For me, a first generation Filipino-American, having Filipino food reinforces "cultural identity" and it also reminds me of my parents. It's like having them close, if only in an illusory fashion. It is my soul food. On the menu for today: Lumpia - Filipino egg rolls and sawsawan (sauce), this one was spicy garlic and vinegar. Culinary cliche but this stuff was gbd (golden fried delicious), satisfying crunch with a flavorful filling of beef/pork, vegetables, and spices. It's nearly impossible to limit yourself to one. Patis Fried Chicken - Citrus fried chicken served on top of garlic Bjorncorn popcorn. It was also served with garlic rice, atchara (pickled papaya), and spicy honey. I'm sure the chicken was twice fried because the crunch on that stuff was remarkable. The garlic rice experience was a progression. At first, it was a recognition of a taste memory. I remember this taste. Another was a realization that some Filipino food isn't subtle. This one smacks you in the mouth. In my mind, it went from, "Oh, I remember this. That's a whole lot of garlic. It's good though. No, it's the best damned rice I've ever had." Something like that. The tang of the atchara cut through the fatty richness of the chicken. The spicy honey (a nod to current culinary trends because my childhood household never had this stuff) served as a sweet foil to the salty popcorn. The whole dish is a clever pairing of contrasting flavors and textures. It seems a bit unfortunate though. After having the fried chicken dish, I'm doomed to have it haunt me in my dreams. Personally, the food surpassed my expectations. It was also more. It reminded me of my parents, where I come from, who I am. Soul satisfying. Salamat."

"We loved our dinner and look forward to trying new menu items in the future. It was also a relief not to worry about a tip!"

"Went to this cute little market when I spent a few days up in Woodstock. Got Lumpia and a Halo Halo and both were amazing! Also went back another day to get the tofu sisig and a catalope float drink as well. The food and the service was great :) will definitely come back and stop by when I'm in the area!"
