Whether you visit the sit down restaurant or the hot dogs and meatballs establishment labyrinth the tills you are guaranteed good wholesome food at a price that does not break the bank. As an example a double hotdogs with as much relish can be yours for just 140 pennies and if you fancy a creamy delicious ice cream it's yours for 75 pennies. On short it's a no brainer!

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 !!!!!!

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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 !

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.

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.

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.

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? .

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Cuidado, este lugar es caro y lo uso ocasionalmente como un regalo especial. Esta vez fui recibido por un letrero que decía que todos los clientes deben usar guantes, pero mientras llenaba mi helado, un grupo de adolescentes estaban sentadas con los pies en los bancos y sin guantes y haciendo un escándalo. Me quejé sobre el pago a un joven que se puso rojo y les dio excusas. Entonces, como le dije, una regla para algunos, mientras que otros la desobedecen. Mi bañera de un minuto cuesta 2. 80 que tomó sin guantes. Qué absurdo. Los sabores de los helados son originales y divinos. Disfruté del jengibre natural. Volvere.

Service was ok, we sat outside and you can order through the phone. We both had a steak, I clicked the 'rare' option and my friend 'medium rare'. They were both more than well done, very dry. The beer smelled like wet dog for some reason. Onion rings and chips were nice tho. The table was also really gross, we were sitting outside but these tables looked like they hadn't been cleaned in weeks.

Fuimos aquí anteriormente muchas veces para llevar bocadillo - chic, mango y miel Madrás vestidor. No había estado en un tiempo y decidimos volver hace un par de era. Tamaño de las porciones ha disminuido y vestidor era insípido comparada con la anterior y los precios han subido enormemente. No es una buena relación calidad-precio y la comida muy normal. Podrían hacerlo mucho mejor que en el pasado

Went for a morning coffee in district this weekend, terrible experience. The girl making the coffee was exceptionally rude from the beginning - ordered us to stand at the till when we accidentally stood by the coffee machine. No hello / please etc basic manners. Have to collect your own coffee even when you are sitting in - which is left to be collected beside other dirty cups and dishes because no staff were lifting dirty items from any customers tables they then had to leave them back themselves, really quite lazy and unhygienic. The toilets in the cafe look like they have never been cleaned, blood and dirt and toilet roll all over the place absolutely disgraceful. Will not be back

This place has gone done hill terribly, the food used to be reliably good but i wouldn't recommend it anymore. There are a lot of better places to eat in Belfast at a similar price range.
