"I usually love to go to D’Jakarta for their noodles, which are, like, classic Indonesian street food. We don’t really do fried rice like that at Hardena, but I usually have a craving for fried noodles, so I will go to D’Jakarta Cafe for that." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme

Good food, authentic taste, savoury. Friendly staff, though small place and cam be very busy during lunch/dinner time. Portion can be bigger, decent price. Recommended still.

Djakarta Cafe is the place I go when I’m craving Djakarta Beef Soup, a.k.a. Soto Betawi. The portions are decent for the price, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere feels homey. Don’t forget to order Ropang for dessert.

It's a popular place, had to wait to be served. Delicious food for reasonable prices. Extra 4% will be charged if paid with a card, that is not convenient.

Located on a busy strip, this restaurant offers an absolute nice experience. Very relaxing with great music collections. Worth the dining.

The grilled fish here is the best I have ever had! You need to try it! Sooo much flavor! 10/10 even though this fish is grilled, they were able to crisp it up. I’m looking forward to the next time I get to enjoy this dish.

First time I ever had Indonesian cuisine was over a year ago in Amsterdam. I have been wanting it ever since. Found this restaurant in Philly. It was good. I ordered the Beef Rendang. The flavors were delicious, I wish there was more sauce in the meal to eat with the rice. Otherwise, I enjoyed it. My daughter ordered the Bakmi Kepiting which she enjoyed minus the eggs in the dish. She did not like the flavors. It came with meatball soup which neither of us liked. The food was Not as spectacular as what we experienced in Amsterdam. However, it satisfied the craving.

I would say this place is probably the best Indonesian food you can find in South Philly. The most authentic food and so many dishes to choose from. Everything is fantastic and delicious! My go to Indonesian restaurant before Sky Cafe. I feel like their food has more flavors. However, portions are kinda small for me. Although I like their cucumber pickles, spicy chili peppers and sambal chili paste. They go very well with the dishes. Very friendly staffs and small cozy family owned restaurant. Parking is tough here if you want to dine in, I always do takeout. I highly recommend this place! 10/10

Got myself Bakmi Djakarta. Taste good and full of flavor. Noodle is also really good. Parking can be challenging in the evening.
