What User likes about Ikea:
One of the good things about going to Ikea is that after or during your visit to this site you can go for a break in its very nice restaurant. There are plenty of tables seating areas View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Ikea:
I can not tell you what the food is like as the queue was ridiculous. My sister and I queued for 20 minutes and gave up. Not enough staff employed, so queues were crazy. Personally I don't bother as if the company IKEA are too tight to put enough staff on, then I won't be giving them the money. Needless to say we left and had a lovely meal in Costco which was lovely with small queues as they bother to employ staff. View all feedback.

Overall, the reviews for the restaurant at IKEA were mixed. Some customers complained about long queues, cold food, lack of cleanliness, and slow service. Others praised the prices, variety of hot food options, and value for money. The breakfast offerings were highlighted as a good start to the day before shopping. Some customers also appreciated the free play area for children. However, many indicated that they may not be returning due to disappointing experiences. In conclusion, while IKEA's restaurant may have value for money, there are issues with staffing, cleanliness, and food quality that need to be addressed to improve customer satisfaction.
