Ikea Belfast Northern Ireland in Belfast

Called into cafe for lunch that is usually the smoked salmon dish and the egg and shrimp dish with wheaten bread. No wheaten available and was able to speak to staff who said wheaten bread had been removed to facilitate those with allergies. Sorry state of affairs you're not able to decide yourself whether to buy or not.

Called in to purchase an item. Decided to go to cafe for breakfast. Certainly not 5 * food but as someone said "it is a furniture shop serving food - not a restaurant". However, the employee serving the food was so obviously not wanting to be there and this came across as very unwelcoming. If you are going to work in this environment it helps to have a personality. Maybe just having a bad day but that is not the customers fault. Definately had an impact on my score.

This place is the best place on the earth i love it people are being very harsh with the reviews of the resturant but it is a furniture shop not a resturant the food is mouth watering and it is absoloute stunning and very affordable it is not the cleanest but tge place is so big how do you expect it to be clean all thw time and the wee shop downstairs makes me feel like im on holiday.It is so fun ! Someti.es i just come for the food it is that good! I would get married here if i could i love it that much !!!!!!

OK the service was laxadazical but ypu simply cannot beat the food for quality and price... meatballs for two pounds and a hotdogs drink and lovely fries for 2.50 and if you fancy a mr wippy it's another 75p... tell me what's not to love?

Awful lunch. Strange layout to the hot food counter. Not much choice for lunch. We opted for breaded cod, chips and peas. Cold chips, but the fish was really dried out and hard with no flavour.

IKEA card at the ready. FREE COFFEE and a good breakfast selection. IKEA doesn't seek or profess itself to be a restaurant of food snobbery, but it is a very popular location for food. A full breakfast is under £4, ( a veggie option is available) as are kids breakfasts. A sausage bap cost's £1.50, so it's easy to see why it has quite a few regulars. Fruit, croissants, scones and cinnamon rolls are also available. It can be busy at certain times, but the wait doesn't usually extend to more than 5 minutes. Sometimes they don't have everything available, but they allow for alternatives. There is a dedicated children's area and an area set aside for breast feeding mums. There is free WiFi and free charging points. I find it hard to be critical of the staff. They are always very pleasant. If you haven't already got an IKEA card get one before you visit. The card gives visitors the opportunity to have free tea/coffee Monday - Friday.

Very disappointing to find no trace of our favourite prawn and egg salad dishes, and no one could tell us why. Also no wheaten bread or bread rolls, or sandwiches. Drinks seemed to be overdiluted. I hope this is not the trend for the future.

Had to buy adult main meals for 2 of our 3 due to only one kids meal available and buy drinks separately. Tables were very dirty and the floor covered in food debris. 2 adult meals 1 kids pasta chip three drinks and 2 coffees for my wife and I was £25. This is far from family orientated and basic hygiene needs to be addressed. You should not be running out of kids meals at 1600hrs or is this just a ploy to scam your families who you know will need to feed their kids. Shame on your management.

Our favourite lunch plate of prawn and egg salad was on sale again at lunchtime and was much enjoyed...excellent news! The gravadlax will have to wait for another time.

I made a mistake while queing for meatballs. The second assistant , a young woman, nodded to me when a customer left, so I walked around the first assistant who was serving someone to get served, thinking this was normal procedure. The first assistant, a young man, then unnecessarily loudly and aggressively ordered me to wait my turn and not jump the line . I was embarrassed in front of a long que of customers who also looked either embarrassed or annoyed at me for jumping past the other customer.. you could here a pin drop. As I obviously misread the situation,this could have been handled much more selectively and politely. I now assume the second assistant was only assisting this blurt. She looked equally embarrassed.

sliding diwn hill slowly- service is abysmal - people queues to the limits.. although litchrn appeared full of staff just one person serving onbeach side.. thebgirl on myvsidevvoupd barly reach the far side of the server! my oartner got veggi meat balls they were atrocious.. prices havevrisen sharply compared to pre-covid.. butvstandards certainly dropped!

This is hardly somewhere you would come for a gourmet meal, but that aside we enjoy the small salads on offer. We used to enjoy the prawn and egg salad but these seem to have been replaced by a plate of cured salmon with Swedish dill mustard, which is very much to my liking.

Worst cafe I have ever been too. Didn't want hot dinner so went for other options. Appalling lack of choice. Ended up with dried out scone, no jam. Wife got manky ham and cheese sandwich. Only 3 left at 1.15 in the day. Bread stale. No wheaten bread left. Cafe Manageress approached but totally disinterested, just couldn't care less. Absolute disgrace. How do people like that get jobs

I got the family a meal in the restaurant and it was absolutely terrible. The chips were cold fish cold potatoes cold and the soup was cold then to crown it all off I got a hair in my wheaten bread. I went home disgusted . Needless to say if they don't get their act together they are going to lose a lot of customers

Well never having been in the ikea restaurant before... I am a horror and fizzy juice kinda guy thought I would give it a go. Food was excellent yes was miffed at having to pay for pigs in blankets but they were darn tasty and the dinner, Peggy's and black forest gateau came it under a tenner. Result!

This has to be the worst IKEA Cafe experience ever . The items out of stock were plenty. The drinks machines broken . Dirty counters and tables filthy . The place needs new management and a deep clean . Such a disappointment after numerous visits in the past.

They had no soft drinks , no milk for the coffee, trays covering the dispensers. By the time I sorted out my drink my food was cold. Will never use the restaurant again. This is usually a sign of things going downhill.

Horrible, unwelcoming, robotic, place I have ever been in. First visit so was a bit lost though I knew what I wanted. Asked a member of staff, they did tell me in a very cold, robotic manner as if I was a moron. Unfortunately her answers didn’t tally when I went down to the ware house to select my items. Another robotic member of staff told me most of what I wanted was upstairs when I had been sent down. Reminding everyone it took an age to find a staff member who wasn’t busy. Suffice to say, I just left, two hours of my life wasted. I think Sweden must be a cold hearted country to have stores so impersonal even the customers were Luke robots being led around. Only one good thing to say about the place was that everyone was wearing a mask so Well Done for that.

Shopping in IKEA so decided yo stop for a break. Had their famous meatballs. Lovely girl serving the food she was so helpful, efficient, pleasent and informative. Food was lovely but tables were not clean and the floor was strewn with food. This was so unusual as I have always noted how thorough they were with keeping the Resturant clean and tidy. I did notice there was a girl taking names and contact numbers for covid purposes which was reassuring.

Inedible food. Fish texture was like leather. Veg pie had a vile smell. Extremely not against foreign workers in my country as I’ve been on the opposite side but command of English language was appalling. We left most of it as per photo & hoping no food poisoning will kick in😢

decided to try the meatballs which came with fries and gravy settled in the car to enjoy but NO.after the first mouthful they were binned immediately. the fries had been cooked til they tasted like paper & the meatballs were absolutely rubbish we couldn't detect any flavour of meat.very substandard offering from such a popular store.we were hugely disappointed to say the least.

So we visited the store with a view to purchasing a lot of furniture for a large dressing room. We had made a plan but were hoping for some advice from experts on the furniture & lay out that we had chosen. We went with detailed measurements. The male assistant that we approached was dismissive & verging on rude to begin with, he did thaw out a little & initially I was tempted to walk away only I needed his advice on a Pax lay out. Other assistants when asked for directions to a product were quite rude & just didn't want to be bothered! I came home & made my purchases online, again not an easy task as the website kept adding extra or deleting products that I had added. Lunch in Ikea was ok, we were there a long time & needed to eat, you have to walk & walk to get to the departments that you want & even then a lot of what you want is not on display. So we had lunch as we were hungry. Mine was quite cold but edible & filled a gap. Will I be back in Ikea ever?? I sincerely hope not! Perhaps their mission is to get you to walk through every area & hope that you will buy but frankly I want a store where I can get directly to where I want to go, choose my purchases & leave. I do not have the many hours to waste that we did in Ikea today! Pleasant, helpful staff would be a big bonus! I think when you are being paid to do a job the "Do not disturb" attitude is not acceptable!

Went to cafe.Very disappointed. Long queues . Only 1 checkout ( with operator only having broken English ) Food dried out & cold . Tables dirty , no clean cutlery This used to be a good novelty but would get better in a soup kitchen. Time for a good shake up , put someone in charge & try to conserve this SWEDISH icon

Plenty to do and search around. Very enjoyable trip I have to say, Always end up spending a fortune.

Así que visité la tienda para recoger algunas pantallas de lámparas, tiros, pedazos y bobs y dejé mi iPhone en un estante en algún lugar porque estaba comparando colores de casa y, olvidé dónde lo había dejado: (¡El personal fue absolutamente increíble! Útil, comprensivo ... Hubo Denise, Stacy y otro tipo que trabajaba en la iluminación y el baño (lo siento, no preguntó su nombre) Y finalmente otro miembro del personal llamado Joe que lo encontró en lo alto de un estante cerca de la iluminación ¡Soooo aliviado! ¡Un grupo de personas tan amable! ¡Gracias y obtuve todo lo que necesitaba también! ¡No podría estar más feliz con IKEA Belfast!

Solía vivir viniendo aquí para el almuerzo. . . pero ir cuesta abajo muy mal - sopa bastante fría no hay platos disponibles para panecillos criados. . . No hay tenedores o cucharas disponibles en autoservicio. . Mesas sucias por años (más de 30 minutos) sin limpiar. . visto que ha perdido interés en mantener los altos estándares que solían tener. . .

Not really that impressed. Food was cold and it was all very much like a school dinner. Reasonably priced but wouldn't return.

If you’ve never been to Ireland’s largest restaurant then your in for a treat.... the food in this place, although a limited menu, is delicious.... there’s a range of perhaps 4-5 mains with full selection of deserts, flavoured waters are free....coffee free mid week! it truly is one of the best and healthiest restaurants in the whole of Ireland . And my far the cheapest... you really gotta go and experience this place for yourself! There are loads to entertain the kids while your eating ! If you are a ‘plane spotter’ then you will think ur in heaven overlooking the main runway at George Best Airport!!

Practical things with good variability and moderate prices. All parts are matching to another to complete our house.

Look party people this is a cafe in furniture shop and when you take that onboard you will not be disappointed, get 15 meatballs with chips and gravy and watch the planes land with change from a Pavarotti,bingo bango sugar in the gas tank you’re ex wife strikes again oh and free refills on you’re cola drink,what’s not to like.

When in Belfast I inevitably end up in Ikea with my daughter Kat and the kids. They love the restaurant. Of course it's not the Ritz but you get decent food and good service. The place is spotless. Excellent views over the runway!

My wife and I just recently bought our kitchen from Ikea belfast.

Stopped for lunch but at 1pm most dishes were sold out. Fish was dry and there were no clean tables. General used feel about everything. Not impressed although staff were nice enough.

We were waiting for the bus so decided to pop into ikea to explore! I think ikea is actually a really fun day out! However I've never had any food, I will have to try!!

Como de costumbre, solo té / café para nosotros, ya que obtenemos de forma gratuita como miembros. De hecho, las bebidas eran muy agradables, pero no tendrían la paciencia necesaria para hacer cola en la comida, ya que, cuando hubieras pagado y estuvieras sentado, ¡estaría frío! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ¿Cómo puedo tener a todos esos clientes y tener una sola persona en el registro?

¡Qué lugar tan increíble! ¿Sabía usted que el restaurante IKEA en Holywood se intercambia y tiene capacidad para unas 300 personas? . . ¿Es el restaurante más grande de Irlanda? . . .

It almost makes up for spending a couple of hours traipsing around the store you have to stop off and grab a hotdog (for 50p) or a pot of meatballs for two quid. You would be daft not to!

A couple of years ago IKEA introduced what I thought would be a short term special offer on a Christmas tree. Purchase a tree for £25 and get a £20 voucher to spend in the store during January/February....essentially a tree for £5. Considering that we bought a rather average tree the previous year for £40 this was an offer not to turn down.

You'll need half a day to go round this store & see everything you want to see. It's not very clear at all as to how you are supposed to make your purchase, unless you've been before & have picked up how it's done! I find the prices very high & the quality very poor! It's quite a stressful place to be & difficult to find and actually buy the item you wish to buy! Personally i wouldn't buy furniture here , as it looks really cheap but the prices are premium prices! The last & final time i visited, i bought several small items, such as cutlery & kitchen utensils (Should know better by now) & when i got home and checked same items on internet, found them at less than half the price! It's a tad confusing & rather poorly set out store , with very inadequate help to hand !

Great value food for a quick lunch.The meatball meal is tasty and filling. It can get a bit busy at certain times but never had to wait long for service.

I’ve been to Sweden, tasted their delicious food and I’ve even enjoyed a meal or two at this branch of the iconic superstore. Today however was very disappointing. I’d skipped my usual breakfast, secure in the knowledge that a simple but decent meal awaited me in IKEA. How wrong I was. Presentationally it looked good BUT the fish was dried out, the peas cold and the mashed potato dry and clumpy, and my modest dessert, a scone, doughy and indigestible. To compound the mounting failures, the latte coffee was weak and cold and the tomato sauce dispensers were empty. Oh yes, and my tray was soiled with food and very sticky. I’ve been in better works canteens and had to pay less. Come on IKEA, breaking bread with you, used to be pleasurable and part of the lure to your store. Please address these failings.

El restaurante en IKEA no es un lugar especial, pero aún así puedes conseguir algo sabroso para un almuerzo rápido y no cuesta una fortuna. Barato y desagradable no lo es. El plato más popular parece ser las albóndigas, pero no son para mí ni para mi esposa. Casi optamos por la ensalada de gambas y huevo, que es sabrosa y lo suficiente para hacer un almuerzo ligero sin la necesidad de acostarse después.

Only stopped for a tea/coffee (free as we are card holders) and the place was very, very quiet. Service was therefore quick and the drinks were fine. Nice clean eating area.

Gran lugar para entretener a los niños en el largo de las vacaciones de verano. Después de jugar durante una hora o así me trataron a mi hijo de 6 años a un vaso de leche mientras yo tenía un café, luego fue un perro caliente. No hay culpabilidad como llovía fuera! ! !

No trip to IKEA without the obligatory meatballs, mash, gravy and jam. Yes, it could be hotter, but it is delicious!!

I suggested to my 14 year old son that we should have breakfast at IKEA as we’d be in the area at 9.30am. It’s been a few years since we’ve had breakfast there but it sounded like a good plan.

Thought we would go have breakfast and a look around,sorry to say that the breakfast and non helpful 1 member of the cooking staff did not help,the food was not good,so won't be back soon

La comida es siempre tibia, por el tiempo que te dan de comer. Siempre largas colas con una persona que sirve, entonces la cola al hasta entonces tienes que recoger su cubiertos y beber y encontrar una mesa limpia por esta vez su comida es nada pero cálido.

Overpriced and decidedly boring badly cooked food. Only thing enjoyed was the coffee! Disappointed as the Swedes are usually very efficient. Need to make changes in this restaurant. Maybe the managers should eat there!

If you visit IKEA you are usually looking for something, and to be fair you probably know what IKEA is like. Well this IKEA is no different. It’s very big, has a good selection of goods and the staff are welcoming. The cafe overlooks the airport and you can sit, have a cup of tea and watch the planes coming in and going out if you want. Perhaps more child spaces would be good as getting one can be almost impossible on a weekend, but there do seem to be lots of disabled spaces available so that is a positive! Overall, worth a visit.

Visited IKEA Belfast. Had Regular breakfast. Atrocious!!!

Swedish meatballs are perfectly fine, if you like meatballs! I do realise that they have expanded their menu but really? Do you go there to eat or eat because it has taken you so long to find the exit that you are in danger of serious malnutrition so meatballs become attractive? Perhaps, furniture manufacturers/retailers need to stick to what they do. Would you go to a restaurant that tried to sell you furniture? I don’t think so. If you need food, use this. Otherwise, go home and eat better food, perhaps off your Ikea table and chairs.

Son had a fish and chips, I have tandoori chicken, fish is like fish fingers, and tandoori chicken is tough as rubber. Worst of all, food temperature is probably below the standard 75 degrees Celsius.

As a vegetarian or a vegan you should not even try to eat at ikea the,food, is, inedible, and, horrible.

Made a trip here today under protest, hate this place anytime but especially on the weekend, but they have very good prices. New where the item was that we wanted was located so quick in and out (well as quick as you can at IKEA ) after paying for our purchase thought we would grab a quick hot dog and drink. Got two cheap dogs but drinks dispenser was broken and they had run out of tins, come on you are the largest Restaraunt in Northern Ireland I don't think it's to much to expect a drink.

Qué instalación de compras! Las habitaciones muestra en la entrada fueron inspiradoras, positivos y cuidadosamente diseñadas con muebles etc. asequible

Marty and I Our coffees tasted even nicer because they were free I enjoyed my cheap salty chips 🍟 for tea 🌈

I had two meals here this week. I had the vegetarian breakfast which was very tasty indeed. The veggie sausages were exceptional. It was quite a feast too.

If you are looking for cheap and cheerful - you have it here. Went shopping then decided to grab a hodog on the way out and the hotdog turned into a hotdog meal - Hotdog (scrummy) piping hot chips and a bottomless soft drink for the princely sum of £1.60! It certainly filled a corner!

Cada vez ir a IKEA para el almuerzo me sorprende cuánto tiempo las colas son para la comida caliente, pero si vas por el plato de ensalada que puedes conseguir a través de rápidamente. Me doy cuenta de que no todo el mundo está entusiasmado por un almuerzo ensalada, pero son para mi gusto y siempre estoy atrajeron a esta opción.

Para el último par de veces hemos estado en Ikea nos detuvimos en el restaurante para el desayuno. Yo no le volveremos a hacer de prisa. La comida era sosa y no estoy seguro de qué estaban hechos los huevos de pero no el sabor de huevos. Cómo he Mi crítica principal es que para el momento en que conseguí a través de la cajas, nos dieron té y cubiertos, y llegamos a nuestra mesa la comida estaba fría teníamos a calentar en el microondas. La primera vez que dejarlo pasar, pero la segunda vez parece establecido el estándar de servicio. En un viaje anterior mi esposa tenía un pescado y tuve que volver y a su asombro, el joven detrás del mostrador dijimos que era porque la mesa estaba tan lejos. Venga Ikea es esto lo mejor que puedes hacer? Tienes una tienda por qué lo bajó con este mal servicio.

Took my daughter to Ikea for some shopping and she would only go if she could have a hot dog!! Eventually after shopping ad numerous cries of ‘I want a hot dog’ we got to the take away outlet. I ordered three hot dogs, chicken balls and a milk shake. I had ketchup on my daughters and onions and mustard on mine. The dogs were ok, bread a bit hard, milk shake went down well as did the chicken balls.

The store itself has recently been refurbished and they have made an excellent job of it. Unfortunately for Ikea, the same cannot be said of its restaurant. Long queue, one person serving - awful. Fortunately, we were only stopping for tea/coffee, which are very good indeed, but after our tour of the shopping area, decided to have another drink and possibly a bacon roll (fantastic value at only £1). The queues were even longer than before but at least there were two now serving at the check out. However, by the time we would have been served I am sure our bacon rolls would have been cold, so we decided just to have another drink. Why they find it so difficult to understand that people would like to pay quickly and eat their food while it is still hot is beyond me. Perhaps people in Sweden only eat cold food - could that be the answer? .

A trip to ikea is more of a family day out than just a shopping experience. Really geared up for families the amenities are brilliant.

Absolutely love visiting this store. The store itself is typical of all Ikea Stores with a great value in store restaurant. Lots of spacious free car parking. Other stores including Sainsbury's and B and Q supply store are situated on adjacent sites.

Had a few things to get from ikea, so went down early. Decided to have someting to eat from thw cafe. Regular cooked breakfast and coffee. At £2.75 you really cant complain. The coffee was good.Good views of the runway at George Best City Airport.

Visited Ikea on Sunday as my father was looking for something and after walking the full store we decided to have a quick snack before getting on the roadWe had there hot dog, fries and drink deal for around £1.50 or £1.75 for onions and relish. I have to say that for the price it did what it said on the tin, it was tasty and honest. For the price you can not really complain and you get a refill and an extra hot dog is 60p plus 15p for onions and relish. One thing is that Ikeas take on coke is absolutely awful so go for any other drink option instead or get a bottle of normal coke from vending machine outside. Coffee good for a machine at least it was hot. Frozen yougurt, ice cream and milkshake need a special token and don't come with free refill. Maybe give cafe a shot if you are looking for something else prices are very good

If you need a quick bite this is the place to go when shopping in the area.Quick. Tasty. Cheap. Good service. Friendly faces. Clean.No negative comments at all in any aspect of this cafe.

Ikea restaurant is never going to be a 5 star restaurant but what it does offer is very good. Three friends visited June 6th, one a small breakfast, the other two a bacon bap each, 2 coffees, 1 tea. The bill £3.50! OK, as I said it's excellent value for what is on offer.

None of the food looked like or actually came with what it was advertised as. It's tasted okay, was edible but kind of reminded me of a cheap all inclusive meal somewhere in Majorca

We visited during lunch time, the food served is standard Ikea and low cost . The service is nice and fast and not fantastic ! Reasonable and nice experience in general ! Really worth to visit while during your next shopping experience

Visited at 12.15 - lunch time. Unusually not a queue, now I know why.Chose fish and chips, priced at £4.75, shown on picture along with peas. Realised later that had to pay 50p for the privilege of these few peas.As mentioned, no queues so got to table quickly with brief stop on the way for some tomato ketchup. After two mouthfuls of fish I really could not eat any more - it was cold with soggy batter. The chips were cold and limp - ate a couple and then gave up. Cold peas not too bad so ate most of them. Best bit was the ketchup. NEVER AGAIN. Come on IKEA you can do better than this.

The food served is standard Ikea fayre - no better or worse than the Edinburgh or Leeds stores that we normally use. It didn't have fish & chips on the menu when we visited, and it didn't seem to offer the same kids hot meal deal as we normally use from the other Ikea's we visit. However, what we did eat was good. The salmon with hollandaise was praised by my wife (...and it takes a lot to get praise out of her!)What is really excellent is the window seats, which overlook the runway of George Best City airport. if you have young kids, they will love watching the planes land/take off whilst having lunch.

Was here on Wed 5th doing some shopping.Decided to have some lunch whilst i was here.I was'nt really what i would call ravenous, but my son recommended the Meatballs with Chips, Whilst he had Chicken, Mash Potato, Veg and like a creamy sauce.Any how, I was asked if i would like 10 meatballs or 15 : /I said 10 although i knew i could'nt eat 10 of them and i did'nt.Sorry to say Ikea Restaurant, won't be eating them again. They were'nt for me. the skinny chips were hard and cold. Maybe it was just after lunch time and that's all that was left really, I don't know. have had better when i was at your store before. Your food was just average.

Saturday PM and it was very busy, with long queues for food. My meatballs were swimming in a pool of greasy water, which resulted in liquid mashed potato. We walked past 4 empty tables which were all filthy & no sign of any staff to clean them. Not really a nice experience.

Awful queues. Food basic as is the menu. Staff unhelpful and unfriendly. Food cold by the time you get a seat. Tables dirty. Soft drinks paid for at till.yet all unavailable when reached and replaced with elderflower etc. Awful experience and very expensive for the terrible food. Even the soup was disgusting

Lovely food well cooked and so reasonable. Really relaxing surroundings and such quick service. Will definitely return

The restaurant at IKEA serves up lunches which are small but tasty and of a regular and satisfactory standard. We always go for the salads of which there are currently two types - a prawn salad with hard boiled egg, which is pretty satisfying, and a cured salmon plate with a sweet and mild mustard sauce. I'm also glad to see that IKEA are now serving a refreshing apple drink with a reduced sugar content.All in all you will go away satisfied with the meal though probably not full.

After a walk around the shop we stopped at the cafe for a quick lunch. Had the three kids with us. The food is just 'alright' but very reasonably priced. Added bonus of kids able to watch the planes take off and land out the window.

Parking a plenty.Restaurant.Takeaway food.Creche for kids.Bank machine.Help packing car.Other retail stores close by.Just off motorway.

Love walking round this store, lots of inspiration and good deals, however the restaurant can be a bit hit and miss. If you go first thing in the morning the fries are not bad and extremely good value, however lunch meals can be cold and when it is busy there is very little left. The restaurant is good for viewing the airplanes taking off and landing and does have child friendly facilities.

Have eaten here in the past but never again!!!!!! Not the quality of the food that is at fault it is the total lack of service when you try to pay. Called in just for drinks this time and there were 16, yes, sixteen, people in the queue and just one lady taking payment. By the time the last person had paid I would have thought their food would have been cold!!!! WHY? Surely it doesn't take much management skill to place another till at the service of the customer.

Had lovely meatballs gravy and mash here for lunch very tasty and only 3.50 my husband had nice soup and roll. Great prices and free tea and coffee if you register for a family card.Always busy. You can buy the meatballs in the freezer to cook at home too.

Love to tuck into the meat balls with extra gravy and chips! Cheap tasty quick with awesome views of the planes taking off, kids love it!

Didn't expect much but was very hungry. Variety? Jeez the 'chefs' must become awfully bored serving up the same old pre frozen muck.Wife and I had the fish and chips, never again!

Went to IKEA for Breakfast and was pleasantly surprised that Santa was there. The stall were amazing with the children and asked if they wanted to see Santa. They ask which time slot we would like, so we had time to eat Breakfast. On the way to see Santa , the children were asked if they would like to make a Christmas Cookie, which they did. The lady was very patient and kind. Then off to see Santa nearby. On entering Santa's grotto, Santa and his elf made the children relaxed and they really loved him. They were given a free toy and a picture with Santa free of charge. They then went onto make a Christmas Lantern also free of charge. To cap it all the children were thrilled to see a real Reindeer at the exit of the store. I wish to thank the amazing staff for making my 2 grandchildren very happy and recommend after parents to come to IKEA.

Just a quick pop in to get a wardrobe for my daughter from here. Again got at a bargain price @40%off in the sale section. Staff are as every helpful. Also bought some pictures frames at good price. Nice view from the café whilst waiting for the girls to finish.

We went here for breakfast before walking through the store. There are always lots of tables available and it does cater for larger family sizes and children-including high chairs for infants. It has a good view over the airport runway and docks area of Belfast.The food however is another story-breakfast was reasonable priced at £3 per person for a traditional fry. Which is not as cheap as it used to be. The food was luke warm to cool when served which isnt very good and some of it was a bit dried out. It was average-nothing more nothing less-its ok to stop at for a cup of tea when out shopping but I dont think I would deliberately go there for food

Been here several times and each time I say I'm not going back but, hey, for convenience ended up in IKEA restaurant on Sunday! Gave salads a bye ball. Looked dry and wrinkly and, on previous experience, tasteless. Decided on soup but there was half a teaspoon left of each flavour and staff member didn't know if there was more coming through soon. Decided on good old fish and chips since nothing else appealed. O dear god! 10% fish, 90% horrid batter and cold chips! Hubby had ubiquitous meatballs. Tasteless as usual and again cold. Bout half self service drinks were not working and tables unclean. Staff not helpful and obviously not interested. Stick to selling furniture and household goods IKEA. Restaurant not good and I won't be tempted to go again

Helen and I We both enjoyed our free ikea membership coffee Helen had a cinnamon swirl and I had wheaten bread, all so lovely

There's a lot to like about getting something in Ikea, furniture or food. There is a good selection of food on offer which is consistently made to a high enough standard to please pretty much everyone (no matter how many times we go this always surprises me for some reason). There are always plenty of seats and tables on offer and the food area is well lit by bright enough natural light from outside. The view is of course very much the same as a departure lounge in an airport as the windows overlook George Best Airport's runway, which is good for kids and those who are kids at heart. Prices are usually pretty decent across the board and discounts on the tea, coffee and select foods can be gotten if you have an Ikea card. The only improvement within reason that I think would make it that bit nicer would be to use the vast array of potential furnishings they have at their disposal to make it a bit more comfortable and cosy.

This place has everything you need for the home,i especially love the kids section great ideas for storage and creativity. The free play area is great for my eldest boy who can play while I shop. The food is amazing we all get the meatballs every time. This place never fails to amaze.

Ikea is a great place for shopping and if they don't have it then it probably does't exist. The food in the restaurant is very good and it is a great place for kids. However, the Hot Dog stand at the exit of Ikea never has onions for the hot dogs, don't know why but there it is.

Had a bite to eat before going through....gr8 call!!! Place was really busy. Had salmon, chips, hollandaise, peas and soft drink. Good service but salmon bit dried out, still tasted well-maybe a touch cooler. Good selection of cold and hot lunches and sweet dishes. The restaurant had been recently renovated and is bigger, better and more comfy!! For those who don't want sit down food, bistro open downstairs.

To be fair, if you like IKEA you'll like this one. If you hate the IKEA experience, then this won't change your mind. For me, great cafe looking out over the airport and great selection in the store.

Ikea is great . The cafe has had a refurbishment and it looks great very spacious and bright. Value for money is fantastic and the kids club is brilliant my nephew loves it . The store itself is spacious and well presented.

Great value on meatballs on a Wednesday, the children's play areas are fantastic. Friendly staff. Great way to spend an afternoon!!!

Visited Ikea for picture frames ended up buying our daughters partner new kitchen stuff it is brilliant if you have to stick to a budget we got a lot for under £30 so if you own a cafe or a tea shop it is the place to go or if you have young kids it's not going to cost you the earth to replace it and the frames are excellent as well .

Arranged my visit to ikea so I could have the Swedish meatballs with mash and gravy. Don't have it often so I really enjoy it when I get it. Handy self service type cafe where the food is hot and very reasonably priced. You pick up your glass or cup and a dessert if you fancy it, take your tray and watch the planes if that's what floats your boat! It's not fancy but it hits the spot. The Swedish apple pie is good too, will try the dime cake next visit I think.

IKEA is not a fine dining experience. That accepted it is cheap and cheerful. The food is fine. The service quick and efficient. And you can watch the planes.
