My first taste of Indonesian food, and it blew almost every other Asian food experience I've ever had out if the water! So delicious! My friend [1411598139:Evan Rowley] took me here on our little trip to Philly from the DC Metro Area, introducing me to food he grew up with being 1/4 Indonesian himself, and we were both thoroughly impressed! The food was delicious, the menu was illustrated to show pictures of each dish, but what was esp wonderful was how helpful our server was! Bianca took time to explain everything on the menu thoroughly, and go over the flavors of each item we were interested in, what was vegetarian and what could be made vegetarian, and ingredients as well...her friendliness, helpfulness and knowledge really made the whole experience exceptional! What a great little hidden gem Sky Cafe is! (Oh! And other bonus for me is, there are hardly any onions in Indonesian food! I have an onion intolerance, so this was a wonderful surprise!)
A great place in Philadelphia for authentic Indonesian cuisine. The restaurant is clean and simple with well place decor and design. Restrooms are clean and ample space. Server was very knowledgeable and management was on point with details.

Might be the first time I've gotten bad service here. The server seemed to be more interested in his friends being there than the restaurant. Pasted over our table for other tables sat after us 2x. Didn't even look our way which is strange since we come often and have seen him before.
Authentic Indonesian foods. It’s a quick bite type of restaurant, fast service, casual atmosphere, affordable, and full of flavors. I’m a huge fan of their assortment of little bites with rice. R2 and R16 are my absolute favorites.
Pro tips: ask for the spicy sambal on the side. You won’t regret it.
I have visited Sky Cafe twice. This hidden gem is well worth a visit. Very good Indonesian food with amazing flavor and a lovely use of peanut. For starters, we tried the Batagor and Gado, Gado. Both very delicious. For the main, I had the Kari Bihun, both times. If you love a warm, spicy soup with great flavor and tons of fish, I would highly recommend.

The service is friendly & attentive, the food is masterfully prepared, and the prices are shockingly affordable.
In a city that offers a seemingly endless variety of delicious food, Sky Cafe stands out as one of the very best my husband and I had the pleasure to try so far. Our recent meal here was the first introduction we've had to Indonesian food. Having read the reviews in advance, I was expecting it to be good — but I wasn't expecting to fall so deeply and immediately in love with this cozy neighborhood gem. The fried chicken was crisp & juicy, the coconut rice was buttery with a satisfying texture, the sauce & marinade on each of the eggs was unique & satisfying, the pickles were crisp & refreshing, and the vegetable curry was a stand-out knocked-out-of-the-park home run. The fact that I didn't know exactly what I was eating most of the time didn't lessen my enjoyment of it in the least, and I really just could go on endlessly about how much I loved this meal.
100% would recommend Sky to anyone. I am so looking forward to returning for another amazing meal, and for the opportunity to introduce friends and family to a new (to us) cuisine!
Update: I returned and tried takeout this time. The food travels well — it was just as delicious as on my last visit. Points for consistency! Plus, the portions seem to be the same as they serve to those dining in. Very very happy I found this place.
Update update: Been back 2 more times, and haven't had a bad (or even mediocre) dish yet! I'll continue working my way through the menu and posting more pictures.
Nice restaurant in the Philly area. The space is small and can fit about 6-7 tables at the best. The food was great and tasted very nice. The curry in a banana leaf was very nice and fragrant however, there was literally just one piece of jackfruit in it, I would have expected at least 2-3 pieces given I ordered a veggie version. The rest was just tofu, tempeh and potato.
Delicious Indonesian food in Philadelphia! Stopped by here for dinner (dined in) and ordered the Sky’s Pork Rice Platter (Nasi Campur Medan). The bbq pork was tender and it came with sweet egg and sambal goreng ati which was great. We also had Pempek goreng and it was also delicious and tasty. Overall delicious food and great experience.
Came here multiple times, service was satisfactory, food is average, the portion sizes have noticeably decreased compared to previous experiences, and to top it off, the prices have gone up.
Finding parking here during the weekends has become a real treasure hunt since it's nestled inside a busy plaza.
A hidden gem! Service was fast and friendly. I enjoyed the variety of their menu and so did my friends. First time trying Indonesian food; I learned that it is customary for the food to be served room temperature — asides from soup and other dishes. Nevertheless, still delicious! Pricing is great for the amount of food that is served. Will definitely be back!
There was a wait for seating but it's worth it. The food, the price, and the atmosphere. The chicken satay was bit salty and the curry noodle soup (N12) was not as spicy as the it could have been. Service could have been a bit more attentive but overall the food is delicious. Would definitely go back again to try other dishes.
The best indo resto in town.. slurpss
