Reviews for Sky Cafe in Philadelphia, PA
Loved this hidden gem. We ordered lamb satay, Mie Komplit, and coconut rice. The homemade egg noodles are amazing and coconut... fried rice was perfection (slightly salty with layers of other flavors - it doesn?t look or sound as good as it is). Will beback! Read more
Fantastic food here- service is very good. Give this place a try if you haven?t had Indonesian food before! My favorite was the... coconut chicken soup- it?s so so good. Read more
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 thepleasure to try so far. Our recent meal here was the first introduction we've had to Indonesian food. Having read the reviews inadvance, I was expecting it to be good ? but I wasn't expecting to fall so deeply and immediately in love with this cozyneighborhood 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 astand-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 lessenmy enjoyment of it in the least, and I really just could go on endlessly about how much I loved this meal. 100% would recommendSky to anyone. I am so looking forward to returning for another amazing meal, and for the opportunity to introduce friends andfamily to a new (to us) cuisine! Update: I returned and tried takeout this time. The food travels well ? it was just asdelicious 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. Read more
I've been going to Sky Cafe for over 3 years now and it's always been a great experience every time. The waiters are attentive... and the food comes out quick. If you're stopping in, I recommend any of the satays, as well as the shrimp-based sambal. Forentrees, I recommend anything really. If you're new to Indonesian food, I recommend getting the Nasi Lemak Ayam Goreng or NasiLemak Rendang, since they come with coconut rice and a couple small sides to give you a few different flavors.

I've been here twice and the food and service never fails. It's clean and they actually caught me and my friends by suprise with... one of their drinks ! My bf and friend wanted to order an avocado smoothie and the kind waiter asked if they wanted it withchocolate or coffee LOL all of our faces turned upside down and was so confused but he explained how it actually tastes reallygood with either so my bf got chocolate and my friend got coffee. TO OUR SUPRISE it was sooooo good. Idk if it's a common drinkbut all 4 of us never heard or tried it before and both tasted great!!! And of course food as usual always is great. The spicelevel for their sauce is bomb. I'm a spicy person so their spice was nice! I do recommend trying to find parking OUTSIDE of theparking lot on the weekends since it's always a nightmare. We usually park in the nearby neighborhoods and walk. Idk how it ison the weekdays so I can't really give any advice on that subject. Read more
The noodle I ordered was delicious, but I am not a curry friend so could not really give a rating on the rest dishes.
We ordered nasi padang, nasi campur and chicken & pork sate, all of it were absolutely delicious! Keep on a good work, guys!... We?ll definitely be back to taste another authentic Indonesian food! Read more
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! Read more
