Djakarta Cafe

You know it's authentic when most of the patrons are actual indonesian expats. The food is certainly the strong point. The satay were tender with food peanut sauce. The grilled fish is a mist try!! Crispy caramelized skin and excellent shrimp-paste chili. The sauteed bean sprout was fresh, delicious pairing with all the heavy hitters. The weakest link was surprisingly the fried rice, the flavor was not complex enough for Indonesian standards, in my opinion. But overall the food was excellent. The restaurant is small but the service is reasonably quick so there's a good turnaround. Very friendly staff. Parking is tough, of course because of the location and there's not a lot of parking facilities around. Tight Philly street parking as usual. They prefer cash payment but also accept credit

We had a lovely time here and it wasnt all that crowded for lunch time! The fried rice was a little on the saltier side, but the braised pork was a nice sweet and salt balance.

Small family restaurant that gives you a warm and intimate dining experience. The food is very delicious, and server was attentive. Everything was perfect. Will be back!

Amazing lunch today (as always), very authentic Indonesian food, one of the best in the Philadelphia area!

Great prices and value. Really liked the d’Jakarta noodles with the green noodles. Very nice staff and would come again to try something else on the menu.
