We used to dine at Indo Cafe before covid. We had lunch at Indo Cafe yesterday and loved it! Back again tonight, the service was exceptional! The manager was super attentive. We had a wonderful dinner, and we will definitely come back

Boat scallops were perfection. We ordered most of our favorites like chicken satay,, wok eggplant and garlic noodles. My mom didn't know what to order and settled on Bali ribs, she said they were perfection.in addition we had sea bass, duck and spicy basil chicken. Two of the dishes arrived cold but when we stated we didn't wish to wait for it to be warmed up we were comped a dessert. We tried all 3 at our table. Each unique. Nice birthday and retirement celebration.

Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, great service and good food! We ordered Roti Prata and it was amazing. There is a small variety of vegetarian dishes. Great dessert options!

So happy to have such a great Indonesian restaurant nearby. The ambiance is great and the nasi goreng is fantastic every time. However I would suggest skipping the pad Thai, I found it a bit too sweet.

The outdoor patio is such a romantic and aesthetic place for any date, especially Valentine's Day! I loved how elegant the string lights are and the heaters kept me, a usually very cold girlie, extremely warm and happy! The food was divine and extremely flavorful! I loved the lamb satay -- the peanut sauce was the main character and we absolutely loved it. The coconut rice is a must. Additionally, the Bali ribs are 10/10 and a definite repeat if we were to come again. It is extremely tender, falls off the bone, is sweet but also extremely rich in flavor, and fills your mouth with genuine joy. The sesame crème brûlée is actually the star of the entire course and ended the meal with flying colors. It was not too sweet (highest remarks for any Asian dessert), very smooth and velvety, had just the right crunch from the sugar on top, and was topped with fresh fruit that paired extremely well with the sesame. I was inspired to attend pastry school so that I can learn to make this at home!! The service is also super wonderful and we got our food relatively quickly! I recommend INDO for date nights, office dinners, parties, and anything and everything! It was such a great meal!

This place may not look like much from the outside, but once you get inside, it is gorgeous with dim lighting and beautiful decor. The best part is the beautiful patio in the back of the restaurant - it is covered with ample heat so you can enjoy it any time of the year. The service is always very efficient, they are quick to seat you, take your order, and bring out your food. They make sure to great you at the door upon arrival and when leaving. I typically only order wine from here, so I cannot speak to the bartending. The food is delicious and is the star of the experience. I always make sure to order the roti and the garlic noodles, while rotating my protein option, but have not had a bad dish yet. This restaurant is delicious and worth a special trip from the city.

The most disgusting kitchen ever, moldy food, nothing labelled, food put in microwave, kitchen never ever cleaned, chefs never wash their hands, most proteins deep fried in the darkest fry oil ever, raw food right next to vegetables, please dont eat here, health department needs to come here!!!! not the ones they pay off to pass the test ??

The food we had was uniformly excellent we were there for lunch and it was not too crowded so not sure about noise level if a larger crowd. My only complaint is that I was not served the tea I ordered and my companion ordered 2 small plates which were served simultaneously rather than served in sequence to coordinate with my appetizer and main course. I will definitely go back since the food was so good.

Indo food is amazing and meets the Indonesian cuisine standards. The service could have been a little better. I would expect the waiters to be a little more patient and smiling rather than showing their unhappiness towards customers

The prices were high, and the taste was just okay. Considering the cost, the overall dining experience might not be the best value for money.

We have been coming here for many years and have especially enjoyed the varied and interesting flavors of the dishes and the patio seating. The patio seating is still nice but the food and service have slipped. The wine list for single glasses consisted of very low end wines. The green seafood curry had a few shrimp in it and no other seafood (despite the server's protestations that he saw the mussels and salmon in it- hard to miss mussels). The server was polite and tried to be helpful but he was not very attentive nor did he seem knowledgable. The mussels were delicious and the sauces were tasty.

Friend suggested this place to celebrate our friend's birthday. We made reservations for 6:30. It was pretty empty by the time we arrived. Easy street parking. Love the outside lights. Great place for a romantic dinner or group celebration. We ordered: Poh pia: 3/5 similar to Vietnamese spring rolls. Martabak: 5/5 similar to samosas, nice fried outside layer, super tasty filling. Wok fried eggplant: 4/5 good Sayur lodeh: 5/5 a little kick to this curry, really tasty! Mei goreng: 3/5 a little sweet, ok Papaya beef curry: 4/5 good big chunks of beef Coconut rice: 4/5 coconut wasn't over powering Garlic noodles: 3/5 I have had a lot better Sesame crème brûlée: 4/5 interesting! Strong black sesame flavor, good consistency Ginger chocolate cake: 4/5 good moist and a hint of ginger Mung bean pudding: 4/5 tastes more like vanilla than mung bean. Friendly efficient service. They comped our deserts and brought out a candle for the bday girl.
