Very friendly and prompt service.
I love the martabak manis, keju, and telor too.
5 star review for their martabark manis, this is one of my favourite dishes and it's great to know some where in Sydney does it to such a great standard, I'll be back to try the telur martabark and other dishes next time.
Amazing martabak. Exactly like the one in Indonesia. Try the pandan chocolate and peanut martabak. Their food is amazing too 🇮🇩 😋😍 thanks martabak cafe!!!
Martabak is sooo delicious. We had the durian and also the cheese and Nutella. A weird sounding combination but it totally works and was a delightful experience. Haven't tried the other savoury food but I will definitely be back for more.
Great range of indonesian foods. They had birthday party going on. It was very busy, so i had to have take away instead of dine in. Food taste was good. Next visit hopefully can give feedback on dining experience and services

I prefer the original sweet Martabak because this is the martabak's taste that I miss from Indonesia. My family favorite is sweet martabak topping with chrushed peanut, rice chocolate, and shredded cheese.
The original slices are at the right size for my family because eating one slice is always taking us to the next slices. I only stop when I remember my weighing scale 😁😁😁
I often bought sweet martabak as a gift when I visit friends or when I have a group gathering. Both my Indonesian friend or other friend from different nationalities who have sweet teeth, of course, were giving positive feedback. "Did you cook it by yourself?", "Where did you buy this?", "What are the ingredients?", "How to cook it?" 😃 This sweet martabak has so many fans in my circle.
However this martabak is sugary and buttery. For those who are watching their sugar intake or on low sugar diet, this martabak is not for them.
That was why whenever I bought sweet martabak for a group gathering, I asked this restaurant's staff to cut it into smaller slices than usual to make it easier to eat for first time tasters.
Ordered martabak, it was great and tasted pretty much similar to the one back at home. However it took quite a long time, the staff had to ask twice to get the order right, the one who seems to be the owner was not friendly. When I went to the bathroom there was no toilet paper, therefore had to ask for one.
We picked up martabak (Indonesian pancakes) for takeaway from Martabak Cafe - one sweet and one savory. The martabak manis (sweet) we ordered was the chocolate and peanut, which was very close to street side martabak in Jakarta. But the martabak telor (telor means egg - so it's a savory pancake filled with egg, meat and spring onion) is nowhere near as crispy as the ones in Indonesia.
We ordered by phone (i think) and when we went to this place the martabak was ready. Im really delighted to be able to eat martabak in Sydney. We ordered pandan cheese, though it is more expensive compared to the one in Indonesia, but still I love it. This restaurant has a lot of variations of martabak, because in Indonesia the flavours will normally only be chocolate, cheese, or peanut. But you can go to Indonesia for better martabak. Its been more than a year since ive eaten this martabak but its still there in my memory. (I didnt take a pic sorry😂)
I found this little Indonesian restaurant by accident! After finishing my kickboxing class didn't feel like going home so wondering around Chinatown and walked up to Ultimo and voila before you know it the Martabak Cafe! Have you ever tried Martabak before? Indonesian Martabak is the same as Malaysian Kuih balik if I am not mistaken... If I am wrong please correct me! So moist and sinful.... I ordered the pandan batter Martabak with chocolate and cheese OMG so good yet so bad... Definitely worth going! Will definitely go again soon!
Calling out to all Martabak lovers, there is a hidden gem tucked in Ultimo that you must try now... NOW! Martabak Cafe Australia is a great place for anyone who loves Indonesian food or food in general and that should be everyone. The menu consists of savoury and sweet dishes and on this visit my friend and I decided to choose a sweet option. So you may ask What exactly is Martabak (or Murtabak)?? According to trusty Wikipedia- Martabak is a stuffed pancake or pan- fried bread which is commonly found in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Brunei, Yemen and India. Depending on the location the ingredients may vary significantly. My friend, who is Indonesian, told me that martabak is a very popular street food and is eaten commonly there- sweet and savoury.
As an Indonesian, I would say this is the best Martabak (Indonesian style pancake) that tastes close to home.
The texture of the Martabak itself is buttery, the thickness is controlled and its crushed peanuts! When you wanted to try Martabak, you definitely have to order the one with peanuts, thats when you can tell if its good or not :)
We had this choco/peanut Pandan Martabak.
The reason I gave 3.5 is because I didn't try the savory dishes (including the savory martabak). But I'll visit them back for sure :)
The sweet Martabak is wonderful - we had the durian cheese one which was a heavenly combination of saltiness (from the cheese & butter) and sweetness (from the durian). I don't feel that it's worth it to pay $1 extra for the pandan-flavoured martabak though, just stick to the original martabak. The savoury Martabak looks (& tastes) like egg omelette where the texture of martabak did not stand out. We also tried some sort of Indonesian fish cake (pempek Palembang) which was barely fish & mostly dough, not as good as Thai fish cakes. The "Es Cendol" drink (with some long green "noodles" & pieces of jackfruit) we got is interesting & good.
Overall, I would recommend this place for original sweet martabak & a try at Indonesian cuisine.
The martabak is delicious here! The menu is authentic and the customer is good. Parking might be a bit difficult so be prepared to go around the block to find a spot. I highly recommend the chocolate pandan martabak.
Martabak Cafe Australia has by far the best Martabak Manis in Sydney! We actually do not mind paying the slightly premium price.
I made a mistake of ordering half a cheese martabak manis yesterday. Best martabak manis in Sydney so far, wish I ordered more.
I really love the food here at Martabak Cafe.
The durian martabak is so delicious!
The chicken dishes we had were also very tender and flavoursome.
We ordered an avocado juice too, that needed a little extra sugar syrup which can be taken at the front counter.
I ordered the roti chanai with chicken curry and my wife ordered the rice dish with the tender chicken, fried liver, fried tofu and fried egg. I felt that she had the best value. It was quite complete.
Mine only had the 2 rotis and a small bowl of delicious chicken curry.
The staff were very friendly and helpful.
We have been here around 5 to 10 times over 5 years and each time has been great!
We will definitely keep going back!
Martabak Cafe was recommended to us by Indonesian friends. “Have you tried Martabak?” they would ask. I hadn’t even heard about this Indonesian pancake so I had to find out want the fuss was about.
Served sweet or savoury, definitely try both as they are quite different. The savoury beef Martabak Telur was crispy, eggy and filling, a bit on the heavy side for my liking but great after a night out.
The chocolate, peanut and cheese sweet Martabak Manis was amazing - light, fluffy and tasty. We also had the Ayam Goreng, but it pales in comparison with the Martabak which were all freshly made.
The martabak was great and its good for groups to share, might try it again another time. However i had tried the mie ayam and the noodle is kinda overcooked and uneven texture.
I have been buying Martabak manis (sweet Indonesian style pancake) from this place since I know about this in January this year. I used to go to Rosebery in ANZAC Pde. I think the Martabak manis from this place is lighter yet more flavour. We tried the Martabak Mesir (Savory pancake) with beef filling & tuna filling. I think the beef tasted better than the Tuna.
I once tried order using Menulog app and the Martabak didn’t taste as good as if I buy them myself. Maybe because it took too long on the road.
Food: good quality Indonesian street style food.
Service: Took about 15-20 min until the order is ready.
Ambience: None - just a normal eatery.
Price: reasonable. The Martabak manis cost between $18+ - $ 22+
Overall: will come back & highly recommended for those who like Indonesian food.
Was there 6 month ago while I was in Sydney. Got good Indonesian food and taste, love their Martabak pandan, the price is more expensive than usual Indonesian food in Jakarta but I think it's still worth it. Will be back next when I heading to the town anymore.
The best and most authentic Indonesian food in Sydney. They even better that some restaurants in Indonesia.
The Soto Ayam is savory good. The Gado-Gado very tasty. Telur Sambal soooo nice....
