Excellent Budget Friendly Lunch

by jaf071984

This was my first time trying Indonesian food and it was great. We ordered the Lunch Special menu (coose 1 appetizer, 1 soup and 1 entree) for 6.99! The price cannot be beat. Portions are huge with plenty leftover to take home.

These are some of the best dishes: Tamarind soup, Fried stuffed tofu appetizer

amazing food

by wcharcolate

The food and service here are amazing. I grew up eating Indonesian food and this definitly holds it down. I would recommend the rice stafel if you have never had Indonesian, because it offers you a variety of their different dishes to try. It also comes with the best salad, as well as soup and dessert. So make sure to bring your appetite!

Good food/atmosphere

by rima101

The food was very good. I was with indonesians who were happy with the food which tells me that the restaurant offers authentic meals. It is not expensive also !!!! The only inconvenience is the parking, very hard to get a parking spot specially on a saturday night but that applies to anywhere you go in philly on saturday.

Amazing... an absolute jewel.

by danroth

Just ate there for the second time in the past few months. This place is absolutely amazing! The service is extremely attentive. It was quick and everpresent, yet without ever feeling forced or annoying. The food is extremely tasty... the blends and combinations of foods are marvelous. If this is authentic food, I'm ready to move! I highly recommend the Tahu Telor (tofu, eggs, & bean sprouts with the most amazing sauce), Rujak Manis (mixed fruit with peanut sauce), and Kolak (mixed starchy vegetables & fruits in a sweet coconut broth). The Babi Asam Manis (sweet & sour pork) is more savory and tasty than the Chinese-takeout version. My wife liked her Tumis Tauge Tahu (tofu, bean curd, & bean sprouts), although she thought it a bit more homogenous than the other dishes. The portions are huge, and they were happy to pack up the leftovers.

• Pros: great tasting food, moderate portions, generous portions
• Cons: parking

Exotic

by zenorigin

Mind you I'm Thai. I never had Indonesian food before. I was feeling a little adventurous so my boyfriend and I popped into this quiet restaurant. If you are on a budget, nearly EVERY restaurant in Philly's Chinatown is VERY inexpensive. Indonesia Restaurant is no exception. Anyway, it took us a while to choose from the menu; some dishes seemed too exotic (ox feet tendon soup). We had Gulai Kambing (lamb soup: average), Rendang Sapi (beef with exotic spices: recommended), and Nasi campur (rice combination: highly recommended). The service was average, a little on the slow side. I'm not sure if I would come back again, the food didn't exactly wow-ed us.

• Pros: Price, Extensive Menu, Prompt Seating
• Cons: Not for Everyone

Great Inexpensive Lunch Specials

by thelostairman

What's not to like? For $6.99 you get a three course (appetizer, soup, entree) generous-sized lunch. Service was prompt and courteous and the cooking is very good. My only complaint is that the food was not exactly piping hot, but maybe that's an Indonesian thing. I'll be back.

And it's a no smoking restaurant.

• Pros: Good Service, Good Value, Tasty Food
• Cons: Food could be hotter

I agree

by battistini

Definitely inexpensive. The food was tasty, though did not send me like Malaysian food does. To be honest I tried only two dishes. Since the closing of Malaysia and Indonesia, this is the only representative I know of in Philly of this cuisine. My major gripe is the decor: I just found it suffocating and there were no windows either. And is there a rule that Asian restaurants HAVE to play lousy imitation Western music in the background?

• Pros: food, cost
• Cons: decor

Need a Djakarta Newspaper?

by petitbout

We are always in search of late night dining after belly dance class. Indonesia was a hit for everyone. Everyone found something they could eat and it turned out to be fabulous. Servings were much larger than expected - enough to share around the table and still need a doggy bag! Price! Oh my, we never found anything cheaper! We're definitely returning.

• Pros: Inexpensive, Non-smoking, Authentic
• Cons: cramped, white walls
