Always get delicious tasty curries, fresh each day, consistently over the many years we have bought lunches here. Love the spicy chicken, bean, and eggplant dishes, and their chilli belacan sambal. Portions are generous and good value. Service is helpful and friendly.

Don't get me wrong - I'm all for authentic and hearty food, but I'm less likely to return when the service is nothing but cold and unfriendly. I hope the man running this shop with his wife can be just a bit nicer towards his...customers, instead of saying "what do you want?" and then proceeds to slap food on the plate. Not the best indo food in Darwin, but still worth a try I guess?More

Missing my Sumatran girlfriend and Sumatra in general. What better way than take a lunch meal here? Staff are helpful and friendly. The tables and chairs are clean and spaced neatly. Good variety of food choices. Not wildly expensive. I expected the curries to be...quite hot, so I was pleasantly surprised to find my choices less so. You can add more heat if you prefer. Do yourself a flavour favour and dine here.More

We came as a business lunch and were sure when we saw the cafeteria style presentation. We were very happy and full when we left. Such a simple restaurant with very yummy curry.

The dishes at Sumatra Cafe are the real Indo deal. Lamb curry with bone in is my number one closely followed by the Beef Rendang then the curried beans. The Sambal is as Indonesian as the owners and the vegetarian dishes and noodles are also...right up there for taste. Fancy it aint. Plonk the rice or noodles on a plate then they add your choices of meats and/or vegies then you cover it with the sambal and there you have it. Sometimes is seems the male partner in the business would be better suited to staying in the kitchen cooking rather than having to deal with people but all in all, well worth a visit.More

This is great little Indonesian restaurant. We stopped in here at 11 am. On the cusp of breakfast and lunch where not many places were open. Spicy chicken, beef rendang and the curried beans is the best way to start a day.

This place is an absolute gem, no other Indonesian restaurant can come near the quality, taste and value of their food. I've been eating here since it opened and when I take friends they understand why. The beef rendang and curried beans is just so......YUMMY...!More

Don't be put off by and empty food court before 11.45am. By mid-day this place is bustling with office workers and people picking up take-away lunches. Good wholesome authentic Indonesian Food and plenty of veg options. I'll be back now I've discovered this one!

Good lunch in darwin city. A number of choices of meal with rice and sambal. Homestyle and good value.

My favourite place to eat in Darwin. Delicious authentic Indonesian & hands down the best Rendang anywhere!

Yum! This cafe fills a hole in Darwin for a quick & spicy work lunch - in the middle of the city. A good choice of rice, meat & 2 veg on weekdays. Not too much, not too expensive. The sambal adds an extra zing...to the meal. A favourite!More
