Whether you’re familiar with Indonesian cuisine or trying it for the first time, Cafe Bali is a must-visit in Bloomington. Highly recommended!
Loved the chicken katsu curry. It was breaded like crazy, nice tenderly cooked, and delicious curry that was definitely a manageable spice level. Huge portion size at such an incredibly reasonable price. I couldn’t finish all my food. I was pleased to see lychee green tea - my favorite! That was great as well. Very bright, cozy, relaxing environment and kind service. Was a great place to take a break from studying. Will be back for sure!
This place is a hidden gem in Bloomington. As Indonesian food lovers, we wanted to give it a try. We ordered beef rendang, shrimp nasi goreng, shrimp shumai, and coconut milk tea. The nasi goreng and rendang were perfectly seasoned and flavorful. The tea was good & the shumai was just okay. A plus is the limited free parking they offer. The interior is basic, and it seems most people prefer take-away food, as the place was empty when we were there.
Quant little restaurant with amazing authentic flavors. There is a variety of Asian flavors available from Indonesian, Japanese, to Korean dishes. Highly recommend and will definitely be back. There was a sign that said done in available after 1 or 2 pm, so be sure to check that out if updated for when you visit. We got takoyaki which was hot and fresh. The Beef Rendang which is an Indonesian curry was so tender with so much flavor and spices and finally the Chasu Ramen with Pork belly was not lacking in ramen that's for sure with a very tasty broth and tender pork belly. Definitely support this local restaurant when in town!
Love the atmosphere, and everything was delicious! A lot of the international restaurants in town failed to bring the heat, but not here! Choose your spice level and they will not disappoint! Love the heart-shaped rice. We had bubble tea, edamame, shumai, beef rendang (very spicy!), curry rice, and the Ayam Goreng Bali (deep fried chicken). I would gladly go back to try even more of their wide selection of dishes.
I’ve ordered from this Indonesian eatery on Uber Eats and dined in multiple times — it’s incredibly delicious! Truly a hidden gem in Bloomington... can’t recommend it enough.
Great value. Portions of big and everything I had was well crafted. Service was friendly, attentive, and fast. This business has a very robust take out service, I think I saw 5 meals go out in the short time I was there
One of my favorite restaurants in Bloomington! Cafe Bali food taste authentic and feels just like home
