IKEA Restaurant

After hours of shopping, we got hungry and stopped by the restaurant. Food there is always fresh, delicious and cheap. We had the Swedish meatballs ( both original and plant based ones) and they were delightfully flavorful, perfectly complemented by the creamy gravy and tart lingonberry sauce. Baled cod was also delicious. Of course we finished with desserts - cheesecake and almond caramel cake.

Very convenient restaurant inside the IKEA. It's on the second floor at the end of the showroom route, a perfect time to refuel, rest and get ready for shopping on the first floor. Swedish meatballs are the signature dishes. The size of the meatballs is on the small side. I suggest ordering 12 instead of the default 8. Chicken tenders are quite juicy. There are two choices for drinks, hot and cold, depending on the drinkware you will pickup at the checkout. They have coffee, water, sparkling water, and Swedish soda. The pear sparkling water is our favorite.

The second time I came here and service was horrible, workers don’t look like they want to be here. Last time the coffee was cold, I just asked if they could possibly put it on the microwave and was told know. This time I came for dinner and the server jist seems annoyed. I guess she annoyed about ppl being kind. Again I ordered coffee and there was none. I went to the server, she said to go to the cashier, I went to the cashier, he said he’ll go refill it but instead he continues to chat with others. I don’t like to complain twice but then another woman went to tell them too about the coffee and they said they’ll send someone… 18 mins later. I literally had to have their fruit water in my coffee cup. Hire new ppl IKEA

Love the Swedish meatball plate here. Great value for money. The staff is surprisingly pleasant considering the crowds they deal with. Lines can be long, especially if both service sides are not open. The soda machines are often not working that well and you have to be careful about which flavor you choose, if you like carbonation. Note I think the restaurant opens at 10am, but they don't serve the meatballs until 11am. That is not clear on their website or on any signage. There is plenty of open and well lit seating due to the floor to ceiling windows.

The meatball dish should have 8 meatballs in total, and we bought additional 4, which should end up with 12. But we only received 11. If they are selling it in counts, they should better count it right for the customer. The chicken tender is fine.
