Memories of being in Palembang came flooding back when I stepped in. Still remembered a lot of the language too. Anyway, I had the nasi goreng dan ayam (fried rice and chicken). Excellent!
Food is great...i had cap cae, chix livers, gizzards, meatball soup, and water! I will be back.
The food is AMAZING!! I got takeout so I can't speak on the service dining in but the person who took my order over the phone was very nice. I got the grilled fish and it was one of the best fish dishes I have had.
The best in Philadelphia for Original flavor! Captured the taste of Indonesia right here in old Philadelphia. Deserves 6 stars.
Djakarta is truly a hidden gem and hole in the wall type of restaurant that exists in the heart of Downtown Historical Philadelphia. If you want truly authentic and down to the roots of Indonesian cuisine, this is the restaurant for you. If I could put more than 5 stars, I would. Being that I am of Indonesian heritage, I know what true Indonesian cuisine tastes like. Do not expect the shallow Americanized sweet and sugary and less seasoned and less spicy type. Indonesian is definitely highly seasoned and spicy and packed with flavors. Prepare your gut to train and eat Southeast Asian cuisine at its finest. Whichever you will order, appetizer or cuisine, you will be pleased with the results. That is, if you can handle the highly seasoned and spicy cuisine of Indonesia.
