Sky Cafe: Authentic Indonesian Noodles and More in Philadelphia

I haven’t eaten such a wholesome and heartwarming meal at a restaurant in a while. My meal was delicious! I got the beef rendang and ikan balado (fish). It was affordable and flavorful, especially the beef rendang and coconut rice. It was tender and juicy. The service was quick and friendly as well.

DO NOT LISTEN TO ANY OF THE REVIEWS THAT ARE LESS THAN FIVE STARS. this has become my new favorite place in philly. this family owned restaurant has everything you could need and more. my favorites on the menu are N11, N7/8, R23, and the fried rice dishes. the servers are so lovely and the food feels like it’s giving me a warm hug. would recommend to anyone who’s in philly <3

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.

visiting from miami, first time trying indonesian food, i was very satisfied!!! the flavors are unlike any other food I have tried ! and oooh spicy

The food is really good and reasonable in price. We tried different things and everyone loved the food. We sat 8 people in the back, they did allow us to call in and set up a reservation for that many which is nice. Because most smaller places don't do seat holding.. The mango smoothie was really good and so was the fried chicken and coconut rice. I was to hungry and forgot to take photos of all the food, but I will say again everyone loved their food and everyone had something different from chicken, Fish and beef. I recommend this place.

sky cafe is one of my favorite restaurants in philly! i recommend it to everyone and i always take new friends here. the service is excellent and the food is delicious. everything always tastes like it is made with love i never get sick of the noodle soup N11

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.

Great nasi dishes and good taste of Indonesian cuisine! Highly recommend.
