Indonesian Pancake Shop Is an Unexpected Addition to Grad Hospital - Eater Philly

"Martabak Ok is a quick-serve Indonesian street food shop specializing in sweet and savory stuffed pancakes known as martabak. Owned by brothers Berry The and Beddy Sonie, the eatery offers a variety of martabak, including light-green pandan martabak manis with white cheddar cheese and sweet corn, red velvet martabak with condensed milk, cream cheese, and Oreos, and other versions featuring combinations of cheese, Nutella, and butter. The space has been brightened up from its previous incarnation as Gourmet Wok, with future plans to add more tables, a bar, and stools. The menu will expand to include iced drinks like cream cheese coffee and avocado coffee." - Rachel Vigoda

Good food (tried original sweet martabak/aka terangbulan, and mini martabak original & martabak sambel ijo). Dine in is not possible, and better to make a cal prior (a day or two is even better), so no wait time. Staff is ok. They closed on Tue.

Hidden gem of a place offering authentic Indonesian martabak. Had never tried it before and was surprised how big and dense it was. It took awhile to prepare but we were disappointed. We got a savory corn one to start and a sweet Nutella/peanut butter one that was our favorite. The rich, flavorful filling was held together by the crispiness of the pancake. There were a lot of flavors involved but they went together perfectly. Can’t wait to stop by again to try more of their menu. Everything looks great.

The so called martabak manis is nothing but filled pancake with lots of chocolate sprinkles, nuts and sugar (super sweet). The texture is no way close to the real Indonesian martabak manis, the typical crispiness is not there at all. It's not worth the price and hype. When I opened the box at home, the chocolate was melted all over the bottom of the container. I'd never met an attendant who did not say hi nor smile, arrogant would be the right word, hence the 1 star.

This is a gem 💎 I live out of town but always make sure to stop by and pick up Martabak Ok every time I pass by Philly. When I lived in the Midwest, we did bulk order (they did ship for free for minimal 4 orders) and the packaging was great. And this time I also wanted to bring it to the flight back to my city so i ordered another martabak and asked them if they can package it and they did the vacuum sealed. And taste…… is definitely authentic - it’s a taste of home. 🇮🇩

First time.. had one of my friend told me about this place so when i was in the area I’ll ordered this ahead of time and picked them up. I think this is the only place I could find for martabak nearby. So brought this home like one hour and a half drive.. can’t wait to look how was it and try them. Taste good actually, it just they put a lots of peanuts.. like really a lot 😂. The sweetness is perfect.. enough for my level. So as the pics I attached I bought chocolate and peanuts (no cheese) for $22 included with the tax FYI with cheese or without is the same price.. I just personally don’t like cheese so I got without them.

Taste authentic, wishing their savory egg martabak thicker and have more meat.

Had heard about this place and was really interested to try them out, and I'm so glad I did. There's definitely nothing else like them in Philly, and everything that I had was truly delicious. They make these really unique Indonesian style pancakes, and the savory ones are deep-fried and often topped with cheese, where is the sweet ones are filled with things like Oreos, sweet cheese, kit kats etc. They're pretty filling, they reheat really well, and they're damn tasty. Definitely check them out!

Free 2hours street parking in front of the store. As for their green tea flavor, it’s an absolute delight! The sweetness is perfectly balanced, making it a refreshing and enjoyable choice. Definitely worth a visit.

This place is so unique. Definitely have to come try it out for yourself. The dessert exceeded my expectations. We ordered the mini Martabak (comes in two pieces) with pandan and cheese corn flavor. They were two very large pieces and highly recommend bringing a friend to share. I would love to come back and try the different items and flavors. It's difficult to wrap my head around this savory yet sweet snack combo, but I'm loving it! They are made to order and does take approximately 15-30 min based on how busy they are when you visit. Expect some wait time but these snacks are definitely worth the wait.

First time my husband ever had martabak (the sweet one) he cried, this was when he was visiting Indonesia. I have been searching for martabak since! It is so hard to find, so this place is a true gem. If you're in Philly you need to try this place. Very authentic martabak per my husband. Martabak is this thick pancake cooked in butter with cheese and chocolate sandwiched between. It's rich and delicious. Only street parking. They do do doordash. Cute little hope in the wall! Try all the different flavors. And be sure to order ahead! I didn't think to and we were stopping by on the way to the airport, and they were sold out. But a worker (maybe owner) thankfully saw how sad we were he agreed to make us one. Definitely a must try

tl;dr the menu may seem unconventional at first glance, but the rich street food served at this authentic shop is all the rage in Indonesia Martabak, derived from the Arabic word for "folded," refers to the stuffed, pancake-like street food common in Indonesia and other Southeast Asian countries. The "telor" (savory) martabak variety popularized in Jakarta is reminiscent of roti with meat, egg, and scallions, while the manis (sweet) style from Surabaya is more like a thick, chewy pancake. The latter is classically topped with butter, peanuts, and cheese, but more innovative fix-ins range from matcha to Oreos to Nutella. While martabak hawkers are always a stone's throw away in Indonesia, dedicated vendors are understandably limited in the States. Enter Martabak OK. This tiny cafe quietly debuted on Washington Ave in 2018, its black-and-yellow striped awning standing out among an otherwise dull block. Martabak OK quickly picked up Philadelphia Magazine's "Best Suped-Up Pancakes" award. Then, the takeout-centric shop weathered the pandemic, which was when my partner and I first tried their street food lineup. The interior is decked with hand-painted murals depicting Martabak OK's cartoon mascots. Rope-and-bamboo chandeliers hang from the textured ceiling panels. In lieu of tables, the small customer space has one long pickup counter for takeout bags, as well as a few stools intended for waiting rather than dining. The extensive menu is displayed across 4 wall-mounted screens on the back wall. During our first visit, my partner and I ordered both martabak telor and martabak manis, and we immediately were surprised by the sheer weight of our takeout boxes. Just a single order of the dense fare could surely fill up a small family. We also fondly recall the unparalleled richness of both varieties. When Martabak OK recently released their "Mini" series (the same snacks fit for a smaller collective stomach), we were game for a return visit. This time, we opted for 2 sweet ones: the Pandan (with sweet corn and shredded white cheddar) and the Red Velvet (with Oreo and cream cheese) Minis. I ordered ahead with ASAP pickup, but we were quoted a few additional minutes once we arrived. During our downtime, another patron -- an Indonesian immigrant now living in New York City -- shared that he was picking up a massive, weekly bulk order on behalf of his cultural community back in NY. He gave Martabak OK a thumbs-up on authenticity. We soon were handed a reusable takeout bag with two small-but-hefty boxes, and we darted home to dine. Per Martabak OK's recommendation, we gave our food a 1-minute zap in the microwave to achieve a warm temperature and smooth consistency to the cream. Both styles dripped with butter and were slathered with the same, memorably rich condensed milk-based filling. This go-around, I also was impressed with the pancake itself -- crispy on the exterior while pleasantly chewy throughout. We both preferred the pandan style, which paired the characteristic richness with salty cheese and mildly sweet corn. The red velvet martabak offered a rush of sugar that, while yummy, would surely become overwhelming beyond my single slice. Mini sizes (which, again, are plenty to split between 2 people) run a hair under $10, while the full portions cost closer to $20. The unique novelty of martabak is a welcome component of Philly's fast-casual dining scene, and I see myself returning when I get a strong hankering for the chewy, sweet-and-salty richness.

It took me forever to check out Martabak Ok and I'm so sad that it did! I really have been missing out on the perfect takeout dinner or even light snack option. Martabak specializes in Indonesian sweet and savory pancakes. When my fiance and I were there, we had to try a full size of both naturally - we got the spicy sambel bawang savory pancake (which is definitely spicy just as a heads up) and the pandan sweet pancake (cheese and sweet corn). Both were incredibly delicious - the savory pancake texture was crispy and flaky and the meat inside was well seasoned, and the pandan pancake was super soft and fluffy. The cheese added a light bit of salt to the sweet and creamy flavor of the pandan pancake, and everything harmonized so well. The two pancakes were really different but both were excellent. We were given it all in a togo box that came with a branded reusable bag. Getting the full size fed us for two meals honestly. Just as a tip though also the pancakes can get a tiny bit messy so just be careful taking it home! We really want to get some of the minis next time so we can sample more flavors at once and will absolutely be back for more. We recommend ordering ahead so you don't have to wait too long, the pancakes can take a bit to make but it's absolutely worth it. Would highly recommend this extremely unique takeout spot!

One word, delicious. I highly recommend it. I would visit again next time I am in Philly. Most people order ahead and pick up. If you go there and order it can take up to an hour before you can get your food. I see so many orders it can get very busy... The whole portion is too large, you should get it for a family, but it is too much a couple.

Good martabak. Introduced from a friend who brought is fresh when they fly from Philly and visit us. Order came vacuumed and sealed in a coolant bag. Good service and fast. Bought both Martabak Manis and Martabak Telor. They are all tasty, especially Martabak Telor. Very savory and match with the chili sauce. The downside of vacuuming Martabak Manis, it became squishy. Become different texture for me. Other than that, delicious. Should try when in Philly.

Definitely unlike anything else I've had in Philly! I recommend the mini Martabaks, that way you can try both sweet and savory. They make them fresh to order so it takes a second but so so worth the wait. There isn't really anywhere to dine-in but there's a great park across Washington Ave you can sit at to eat. Nice clean waiting area in the shop. Will be back to try more!

I tried martabak for the 1st time here and was amazed at how delicious it was! I was super excited and tried the Original with peanuts, cheese, and chocolate sprinkes as well as the Pandan with these same toppings. Initially, it was a strange combination but it grew on me after 2-3 more bites. I was so happy that I bought some more before heading back to NYC. If you're in the area, I recommend stopping by and grabbing one. The size is really generous and the price was decent.

First timer and am impressed!!! If their fried tofu isn't the best fried tofu, then I don't know what is. Pancake was good too. Coming from Hong Kong, we have something similar, so it's like reliving my childhood. Not cheap, but the portions are huge. Cannot recommend enough!

The best items to get from this place is the martabak telor and the crispy tofu. If you can only get one, get the crispy tofu. It's out of this world! The tofu is cut into bite-size pieces, and deep fried with spices. Yum-yum. If you didn't like tofu before, you'll love it when you take a bite of this tofu.

Let's start 2023 with something sweet and finger licking good. While in Philly celebrating New Year's Day, a Yelp dessert search bought me to this place. The pics intrigued me as I've never seen anything like this before and all the reviews were mostly 5 stars. Martabak is an Indonesian sweet treat. It is a thick pancake with a variety of fillings, it can be sweet or savory. The most popular ones are with chocolate and peanut filling. It is fluffy with a chewy texture, buttery in taste, and drenched in condensed milk. Listen, if there was no such thing as gaining weight, I would eat this entire box myself. Someone slap me a few times, O...M...G...where you been all my life Martabak?? I almost ate my fingers. We got the peanut, nutella, and cheese in the original pancake. Surprisingly it is not that sweet. I grew up eating peanut butter and condensed milk on toast (popular in Hong Kong) so these two combos on the Martabak reminds me of that. The cheese in my opinion got lost. Quite an extensive menu with different fillings and 4 flavor pancakes to choose from. I read that it takes a special super heavy bottom cast-iron pan to make these thick pancakes. The distribution of the heat has to be evenly distributed or else the bottom of these thick pancakes will burn. Open since 2018, I don't know how I didn't know about this place. It is in a residential area so parking is not easy. I would suggest takeout vs eating in as it is a tiny shop. These are made fresh to order (about 20-30 minute wait) so call ahead. To all my Yelpers, may 2023 bring new foodie adventures and discoveries. My New Year's resolution is to try new things I've never had before.

Was craving martabak today, but a quick Google search showed that they were closed. I decided to give them a call anyway. To my surprise they are open, for takeout orders at least. Their current hours are 12-6pm Sunday to Saturday. I placed an order for a pandan martabak with peanuts and was told it was going to take 30 mins to make which is a bit longer than usual. Make sure you order 30 mins ahead of time if you are hungry!! There was barely any hint of pandan but the martabak was still delicious. I ate two pieces, one after another and quickly got full, but still wanted to keep eating. I don't regret eating the extra pieces even though it did make me a little sleepy after lunch.

I don't know why it took me so long to try this place out because I have been missing out! Recently have a lovely conversation with our Indonesian server during our trip to NYC and was reminded of Martabak Ok. I've had this on the visit list for a while now but completely forgot about it until it came up in convo. Made a promise with him that we'll go the day after. Oh boy am I glad we did. We order a mini sweet one and a mini savory one. How to even describe the joy of these delectable goodies? First, we got the cheese and nutella one as our sweet options. The saltiness of the cheese mellows out the decadent chocolatey nutella while all being soaked into this fluffy spongey pancake. Just thinking about it makes me want another. We got the mozzarella as our savory one but don't let the name fool you. It much more that just mozz. It's a savory eggy pancake with bits of meats and flaky pastry accompanied by a sticky spicy sweet soy sauce. Delish! You can't go wrong with either honestly. They are quite different from each other so I would recommend trying both the savory and sweet one. Also they don't do dine-in, take-out only. The wait is usually about ~20mins so order ahead. TLDR: This is your sign to try this place! Can't go wrong with sweet or savory so get both. Order ahead online! Take-out only.

Walk in to order and was told it would take 20 mins ended up taking 50 minutes waiting in the store. No street food should take this long. It's ridiculous. They should have a better prioritization system between online and walk-in. I am all about supporting local and cultural food but I will not waste my time here again.

Super cute Indonesian dessert place! They offer sweet and savory martabak (a type of sponge-like dessert) and bubble tea! My boyfriend and I ordered the Martabak Manis minis which were $5.95 for 2 pieces. We also ordered a drink. The green tea one was delicious! The top is a green tea flavored sponge consistency and the bottom half is a green tea KitKat, with shredded mozzarella sandwiched in between . The original flavor is essentially Nutella and mozzarella. This one was a little too sweet for my liking, and honestly nothing too memorable. I would not order it again because it doesn't offer anything unique or worthwhile in flavor compared to the other options. We also ordered the Mango Cheese Tea. This was definitely an interesting drink. We drank it with a straw because there were mango toppings on the bottom. The drink was multiple layers of varying flavors and consistencies -- chunks of toppings on the bottom, sweet milk tea in the middle, and salty cheese foam on top. Overall, a super well decorated spot with decent seating. The menu offers a variety of options fOr when you're craving something unique with a combination of savory and sweet in the area! The only complaint I have is that there is no restroom available -- the employees usually direct you to go to the AutoZone a block away for a public restroom.

Holy delicious. I have never even heard of martabak before, so my first visit was a bit frustrating because I couldn't understand what exactly this place was offering. I know that there were sweet and savory versions of something. There were pictures of some of the options on the menu but everything is made to order so there was nothing to physically see. The cashier seems perplexed that I was so oblivious to what they were serving. After his attempt to explain what martabaks were, I realized that most of the items they serve only come in 12-piece (or slice?) orders. They offered two-piece orders of only four kinds of the sweet martabak manis series. They have offered no 2-piece of the savory pieces. I only wanted to try it this time so I order the two-piece sweet corn with mozzarella cheese. O.M.G. What a delicious, mind-blowing bite of food. The texture of the "pancake" is outrageous. The flavor of the sweet corn was perfect. Not too sweet, and just the right level of creaminess. How have I not had these before?! Five visits later, I am much more familiar with the menu, and a few pounds heavier. Everything is outrageously delicious. The Taro savory beef and cheese is like a dozen cheesesteak and egg sliders. However busy this place is (not sure), it should be busier. Totally underrated. Stop here and experience some seriously delicious street treats. Call ahead and place your order, because everything is made to order. They now have bubble tea. There are a few casual tables, but this is more of a takeout spot.

My Indonesian friend took me here when she was visiting one weekend. This was my first time trying martabak, so I didn't really know what to expect. It's a very sweet dessert, and I definitely would recommend splitting it with a friend since a full portion comes with 9 pieces. The cake was spongey and covered in something sweet (honey?) the interior had nuts and the Nutella. Wasn't the biggest fan of the cheese, but it was a pretty mild flavor. Admittedly, I don't have much to compare this experience against, but would definitely bring a friend here if they're looking for Indonesian dessert or something sweet! There wasnt any indoor seating, and inside it's quite small. They had a lot of orders in boxes, so it appears that they are quite popular both in the area and around the country (they were shipping orders as far as California!)

If you've never had a martabak before, try it and you won't be disappointed. It's a buttery pancake w loads of toppings. I recommend chocolate sprinkles, chopped peanuts & cheese ... yes, cheese. The combination actually works perfectly. It's a sweet & salty thing.

I saw this place on YouTube and it reminded me of my trip to Bali a few years ago. Unfortunately when I was in Bali I didn't have the chance to try this dish. So this was my chance. This dish took an hour to make so I should have called it in. I got the original with chocolate, peanuts and cheese. It was delicious very filling. The portions were big so make you have a lot of other people to help you eat this. Next time I am in Philadelphia I am going to order the Green Tea/ Matcha flavor.

This place is great I just wish the savory options came in bigger sizes and the sweet options came in smaller sizes lol (it's the opposite) when I visited they were only selling full sizes of the sweet option, the portion was generous, I just didn't need that much.

If you don't like this place what's the Marta with you? I'm definitely going to be bak! Full disclosure: I'm still not sure what martabak, is but I know it's more than OK! There are three types of things, and they all have different options. A savory fried thing that's like a deep fried crepe or tortilla stuffed with your choice of chicken or beef with all these delicious spices and maybe egg and scallions? I got the chicken with mozzarella and holy hell. They are not here to cater to your New Year's resolutions. So much cheese. So heavy. And huge! It's about $20 but could probably feed 3-4. It's cut into like 12 pieces and I could only eat about 4 before being uncomfortably full. Would be a great thing to bring to a party. It doesn't taste as good reheated because you lose the crunch but it's still pretty good. If you want to feel healthy you can get it with corn. Was about $18. A cake thing that's kind of spongy and kind of cornbready and stuffed with cheese but it's dessert. And it's sitting in a pool of condensed milk. You can choose from plain, coffee, red velvet, taro, pandan, green tea (last two are great for Eagles Parties or St Patty's). Also comes with corn if you want it to which I feel weird about. You can also add peanuts, toblerone, Nutella, etc. That's it I decided I'm bringing this to breakfast at work Friday. Pandan with cheese was $15. A pizza thing that I haven't tried yet but definitely will. You can choose from multiple toppings like green tea kit Kat, oreo, and of course cheese! I forgot they have a 4th thing! It's fried tofu and its very fried and very good. Martabak! I'm so excited that you're here! Order ahead, it takes about 20 minutes to prepare. The seating area is cute, with murals, but most people are taking out here. I think they also offer delivery. Their packaging is so cute! I love the little cartoon people.

Let's start by saying, where can you get Martabak if you don't have the connects to a Indo baker? Not easy to get but here the Martabak is pretty legit considering we are state side. We ordered the original sweet and also the savory beef Martabak. Everything is cooked to order and they even ship to you if you call it in. Amazing!! Perfect texture, gooey insides and the sprinkled on cheese give the sweetness an extra savory dynamic. Tasted great. The beef martabak tasted very good too, just make sure to heat these guys up before eating. Doesn't taste good cold. Not the healthiest food as it has alot of butter. Eat in the moderation if you can.

My friend Lisa lives in a Graduate Hospital and urged that we try this place. Full disclaimer, I've never really had an experience with Indonesian food, so I really don't have anything to base my review on other than first impressions. The space was very cute, with fun cartoons painted on the walls with pancakes saying hello to Philadelphia's who make their way inside. We got the Martabok original with chicken and cheddar and it took some time for them to prepare, which is why I'm sure they urge for you to call ahead to alleviate wait time. The original was good, but I felt very heavy afterwards and could only have a piece or two. Anymore would've had me feeling like a statue filled with butter. I'm not saying it wasn't good, but very very heavy. Next time I think we'll try the desert options, because they seemed more up our alley. Overall the staff was very friendly and helpful, so I won't prorate the star rating on the fact that I wasn't a fan of what I got (that's my fault not theirs) just based on my preference. Next time dessert it is!

Finally found an amazing Indonesian dessert place that makes it right. I have came here quite a few times and have been so impressed how they do things. I recently had to go to my home state and wanted to bring this with me. The staff were so helpful and vacuum packed the martabak manis x3 and it was well packed for me to bring. Very enjoyable experience and look forward to telling more about this place!

This is a cute Indonesian place that sells Martabak, a type of popular street food in Indonesia. There are sweet and savory options. The savory ones (Martabak telor) are a fried dough filled with eggs, beef and scallions and you can add toppings like cheese and sweet corn. They only come in a size with 12 pieces which would be enough for 3 or more people. The sweet ones (Martabak manis) are more like two thick pancakes with a layer of sweet fillings in between. These come in large and small sizes. We got the savory option with mozzarella and a small order of the original sweet Martabak. They make it to order so we waited for 10-15 minutes. The savory one had flavors similar to a street side Chinese omelette/egg wrap but with the twist of cheese on top. The perfect greasy comfort food! The pancakes in the sweet one were perfect- crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. We got the original which had a cheese and Nutella filling...pure oozy gooey decadence. Overall, very unique place that I would definitely recommend trying if you're not on a diet or need a cheat day! They also have lots of milk tea and cheese (!) drink options.

Martabak Ok is my place when I'm craving something sweet and substantial. Most often I get the mini martabak with cheese and chocolate. I really enjoy the spongey texture and mix of the slightly salty cheese and sweet chocolate. This is a very sweet and heavy dessert but sometimes you need that type of thing! That's why I like the mini verses the large. In terms of COVID precautions, I order through Grubhub and went I came to pick it up, there wasn't many people in the store and it was easy to pick up your order in a safe manner. Will definitely be back again!

Omg, I'll be honest, I did not know what to expect when my friend introduced me to this place. We ordered a green tea pancake with cheese, peanut and Nutella and it was SO GOOD. Lots of flavor, and all the ingredients complimented each other. We also tried the Oreo special one and that is probably one of my favorites. They also got a variety of drinks. I tried their black sugar boba and avocado coffee and both were tasty. The avocado coffee has an acquired taste. You will really have to love guac/avocado to love this. I love avocado/guac, but if you sip this down too fast, it'll get old but if you give yourself a break between each sip, it's soooo flavorful and unique!! The avocado itself definitely gives the coffee a unique kick and it's sweet. Definitely will be coming back again to try out more drinks and desserts!

I saw pictures and videos of Martabak on instagram and really wanted to try it! This is the only place that I have ever seen that has this in philadelphia so far. Martabak is kinda like a chewy thick pancake with sweet or savory toppings. Aesthetically it looks so yummy but after trying it I don't know if I would come back. I ordered the Pandan with sweet corn and cheese. The pancake is loaded with butter and you can't really taste any cheese on it. The pandan pancake itself is really good but I wish there was less butter or oil that they put on it. I can only handle a few bites of it. The good thing now is that they have mini martabak you can order I believe which they did not have before! Might give it another try.

I had the traditional with ovomaltine and peanuts. It has generous amount of crunchy peanuts and the ovomaltine is melting on the warm martabak. It's so good. Definitely my favorite besides the Nutella

I can honestly say I have never tasted anything like the Original sweet Martabak Manis. It's like a pancake, waffle, or French toast on steroids. Sooooo good. How could it not be when it's covered with butter, peanuts, Nutella, sweetened condensed milk, and cheese? Indulgent and delicious are the two words that come to mind. Give it a try and you will be beyond pleased.

We could not be more disappointed with our Martabak experience. We've been waiting to go for a while and finally made the trip tonight. First we get there and are informed they don't have chicken. Ok, no problem. We'll take a plain one with corn instead as I don't eat beef. We're then told it'll be 20 minutes so we go for a walk since it's an uncharacteristically beautiful August night in Philly. We get back, order is ready- great! Head home and open it up only to find that the vegetarian dish we ordered is actually full of beef and in the 10 minute walk home it was already cold. 2 stars for service and overall experience. My husband says the beef dish is 4 stars worthy but I doubt we'll be back. EDIT to ONE STAR- after my husband reheated leftovers for lunch today he found an enormous, black hair baked into the food. That's now two meals ruined. Never again.

This place is delicious, not healthy, but definitely delicious. I believe the main specialization of this place would be desserts, but me and two other friends came dinner. It seems the majority of the people order takeout from here and while there are four small tables for two to three people each, we were the only ones to dine in. When you walk in you were greeted with a very well-lit and clean space. Random murals on the wall are not too bad. The menu is mostly listing desserts first, and then the Savory stuff towards the end. Prices range from 15 to $22, so it's not really a dine loan deal. For dinner, the three of us ordered the Savory one with chicken in, and mozzarella with corn on top. The Crepe is deep fried and stuffed with egg and I think ground chicken. They graciously slather on layer upon layer of shredded mozzarella with corn on top and then torch it to melt beautifully. I am basing the last assumption on video from their monitor behind the counter. We also ordered three of their Indonesian milk to Jasmine tea which are imported and come boxed. We were also given samples of the Indonesian style salted milk tea that you recently can find at boba tea shops, except they said their version is with cream cheese. I think most are not a hundred percent sure. it was a bit of a wait because there seem to be a large order from a family ahead of us so it was a good 20 minutes before we got food. I think the owner also give us a small container of a soy sauce that was slightly sweet containing Peppers that was essential for this but he said it normally doesn't come with it? Anyway, it was super good in the mozzarella was delicious I would definitely order again in a heartbeat if it wasn't for the fact that there are probably thousand calories all that cheese

On the border of Graduate Hospital and Point Breeze lies this place with the bright yellow and black awning that stands out from the crowd. I came in here craving some sweets and this was definitely the right place. The gentleman at the counter was very friendly and gave me the run down of what martabak is and the differences between their sweet and savory items. I ended up going up with the cheese, peanut, and nutella. Sounds strange, doesn't it?! The gentleman told me it took about 15-20 minutes since it's made-to-order. We got to chatting and he was telling me that their sister location is D'Jakarta Cafe and that there is no martabak place in Philadelphia and hope that the people embrace it since the combination from the outset seems a bit strange. The martabak telor came with 9 pieces. I ate 2 and I was stuffed. The combination was just so amazing! It's truly comfort food at its finest and the pancake with the sweetened condensed milk made my tastebuds all the happier. They should reconsider changing their name to "Martabak Excellent" or "Martabak Great", their food is more than OK. I gotta come back and try their savory offerings, but I do wish they had a half size or even just smaller portions because as other Yelpers said, its A LOT and definitely meant for sharing, which makes sense for its steep price. That being said, smaller portions may make it more financially appealing to those who aren't trying to spend too much.

Excellent flavor and customer service! I've tried both the sweet and savory martabak and I can say it tastes like home. However, what set them apart was their stellar customer service. We placed an order for out-of-state shipment and it was delayed because of USPS problems (not their fault). They handled it like a pro and we negotiated and agreed on a resolution. Will always recommend Martabak OK for anyone reminiscing of home or wanting to try Indonesian pancakes.

I have tried the savory Murtabak a few times. Very delicious and reminds me of eating this as a kid who spent time in Saudi Arabia. All it really needs is some additional lemon squeezes and all is good.

Martabak: Amazing! We got the pandan with cheese nutella and peanuts... the whole original package! Just like how it was when I was in southeast asia. Really legit. The martabak takes some time to make, so expect to wait. Fried Tofu: We also got to try the fried tofu snack and man, it was great. Just like the street food. Comes with the chili soy sauce that was the perfect combo with the fried tofu. Cost: The only thing about it is that it is kind expensive... over $20 for the martabak, which is not what I expect when eating southeast asian food, but it did bring back memories. Ambiance: The store is cute and small. Has a cool mural on the wall that is worthy for the gram. Definitely will come back and will try their other food, and try their other restaurant for some more indonesian food!

Doordashed some martabak the other night and YUm what a treat! It was our first time trying it, so we decided to go with the mini's so that we could order a few different types. We ordered: -Pandan + cheese & corn  -Beef filling with chili oil (chili oil is very spicy lol) -Original + cheese & nutella We were a little unsure of how they would hold up throughout the delivery process, but they arrived intact and not soggy! We popped them into the air fryer for a few minutes before eating and they reheated perfectly - hot melty inside, nice and crispy outside. (I imagine that if you don't have an air fryer a toaster oven might work similarly?) I definitely wouldn't consider these healthy as you can tell that in addition to the cheese/chocolate/whatever filling inside you can also taste that they are packed with butter and sugar. But they are delicious and you deserve to treat yourself.

My friend and I stopped by here for dessert and were happy to discover their brown sugar milk drink. Had it at other places but they don't compare. We also had the red velvet/oreo martabak and that was tasty too.

Excellent! Such authentic taste - absolutely loved it. It's just like what I would taste at home, and really made me nostalgic. Their chili martabak was particularly good.

I'm all about trying new desserts, so this place has been on my to go list ever since I saw it pop up on Yelp! It's located at the corner of Washington Ave and 18th, we were lucky enough to snag street parking nearby. The vibes inside are cute and very cheery. You have the option of ordering a sweet or savory Martabak. We went with the original Martabak with cheese, peanuts, and ovomaltine (we wanted Toblerone but they ran out). It took 20-30 minutes for it to come out, but they had a bunch of games like Jenga and Connect Four to keep us entertained. I definitely recommend calling your order ahead of time before dropping by to pick it up. It was worth the wait when it came out. It consisted of the cheese peanut and ovomaltine mixture sandwiches between 2 sweet pancakes. I was initially skeptical about the cheese (looked just like shredded cheese you throw on a pizza) but the taste actually worked just fine. The ovomaltine was delicious, I loved the extra crunch and texture it added. I could only eat 2 bites since it's pretty heavy (it's pretty sizeable and substantial which explains the 20 dollar price tag). I'd like to come back and try some of the other flavors (taro, green tea, pandan) or one of the savory flavors. Overall it was a unique experience to try an Indonesian streetfood dessert!

How cool that Philly finally has a Martabak shop! This tasty Indonesian street food has arrived on Washington Avenue in a bright and colorful location. Now actually the entrance is on 18th Street so when you arrive at 1801 Washington Avenue and don't see it, just walk around the corner. It is owned by the same people who own my favorite Philly Indonesian restaurant D'jakarta Café. On offer are sweet and savory martabaks and each one is made to order for you so be prepared to wait for about 15 minutes. There is free WIFI so you can easily pass the time waiting for your meal to come out. I ordered the original 'telor' beef martabak and loved it. btw - telor means egg in Javanese Indonesian. A vinegar and a sweet chili soy sauce come with it. It was bursting with an assortment of flavors and had the perfect crispiness that I like on the outside! You can eat in or take away - which is their main business. I couldn't wait to indulge, so I ate some of my martabak on the spot and then took the rest home. At home, I added a sambal-like sauce which added even more flavor. My only wish is that somehow they could find a way to sell one or two of their sweet martabak by the slice as a dessert without having to buy the whole concoction. That would have been a nice ending to a delicious meal! Welcome Martabak OK to Philly! Tips - If Alex is working behind the counter, he will happily explain everything about Martabak to you if you're not aware of this well-known food.
