Ikea Restaurant in Walsall

Visited many times but wanted to comment to say thank you to a lovely lady that helped me multiple times when trying to decipher the process of purchasing a curtain track and what was needed! Karen was super helpful and very knowledgeable with the products on offer and always willing to help despite me saying I wouldn’t bother her again 😅 She definitely elevated the whole IKEA shopping experience and made it that much easier, thank you!

Lovely time had shopping for lighting, cushions, plants and candles.😊 Staff were very happy to see us and helpful with our questions, having a GSH always helps. Enjoyed the new layout and the ideas in store were inspiring. Kitchen area was fantastic.... Next project maybe🤔🌼😊

Get there early to miss queues. Good breakfast.

typical IKEA just off junction 10 of the M6. Be prepared for a long walk as the place is huge. The store is located on a shopping park with plenty of brand and no brand chains. There’s something for everybody in the store and they will allow it to collect on the day, click and collect and have the furniture you buy delivered for an extra charge. Impressed with this branch as the staff with professional and polite. With the demise of IKEA in the UK over the Covid closures, this IKEA gets especially busy as people’s options for stores in Stoke, co Coventry, and Leicester of all closed.

Great value, especially the restaurant lol

Come away with things you never knew you needed.

When I asked for help, everyone was helpful. Food not very hot. All the staff were friendly and helpful.

Always find staff helpful in ikea however today we had a lovely lady called Alice in tv cabinet area , found her to be very knowledgeable with excellent customer service, credit to you 👏

Returns service could be kinder and more helpful. Restaurant is good but very busy. Shopping is amazing there

This is my 'go to' place for certain items when I need them. As usual, this visit did not disappoint. I was able to get items I needed for a children's birthday party🎈 hosted at a venue e.g. napkins, tea towels, containers for clean and dirty cutlery, and picked up a couple of extra items that made me think 'yeah, I need this too'. As it was a weekday morning parking was fine, and I was in/out within 20 minutes! Thank you for yet another enjoyable and easy-breezy experience.

IKEA is getting 5 stars just because they replace broken parts for FREE. I bought a MALM chest of drawers around 2 years ago and a drawer needed replacing as it broke due to my own fault and they replaced it free of charge and they do this as standard. Amazing customer service.

It's a modern prison with petty tactics designed to make you spend more money. I especially hate the fact that you can use the stairs to get up to the restaurant, but must wait for the lift to exit - seems to be a self defeating tactic to me. You win a few sales, while isolating those people who see through these tactics. A company with a proud history, selling out for short term gains. Please stop doing this and honour your founders. It should be a great business and experience for your customers.

Only went to pick up a collection very efficient as you would expect

I had an amazing shopping experience with Lillie in Birmingham on 8.3.25. She was really patient and helpful and we were able to find suitable furniture for our new house because of her. Thanks Lillie!

The app is terrible don't bother using it to shop

Love this store esp for kitchen stotage

Everyone knows IKEA by now. A really cool store. Always with just going and walking around because it does inspire you to change your home. Some great things to offer or ideas to redecorate. They sell everything you’d ever need for your home

Be sure to leave an hour spare if you need to use the collection point. Staff will be busy relaxing on their phones and make excuses about their areas not being cleared like it's a valid reason to find a table.

Located just off the M6, this place is huge and you’ll need at least a couple of hours to wander the IKEA route around. Plenty of great ideas, and stuff is usually good value. Amazingly there were no queues at the checkouts despite the place being fully of shopping families.

Always love coming here for a look around and the added bonus of the cafe

I take my 90+ YO dad there every Friday for the Ikea Family Member fish and chip dinner

Affordable and good quality. Delivery options available online for a fee.

What have you done with the pencils?

1 hour to get 2 small items from the collection point. If the management here can't see a problem with that they're also the problem.

Great for a look around and the cafe and snack kiosk are good too

Don't bother going in if you are collecting anything from the collection point. It's been 1 hour so far to collect a small kitchen drawer and a front. Better off buying online or just avoiding IKEA as a whole.

It's IKEA. Use your family card in the restaurant bit, saves you a lot.

Awful this morning, no hot drinks at all, machine broken, no veggie breakfasts, no mushroo.s or tomato foe traditional breakfast and very sulky staff disappointed to say the least

Organised mayhem of a Weekend causing traffic chaos and Misery for. Local residents since It's been built

Very disappointed. I bought 3 wardrobes and price dropped by £30 . Before delivery. And they said they can't refund the difference in price. Will not buy again.

I'm not a big fan of ikea. The wife loves it. She bribes me with food and unlimited coffee

Amazing place for most of your home and furniture needs! Check it out! Also Has a Swedish food court with amazing food

IKEA Birmingham offers the same reliable quality as any other IKEA, with a good selection of home essentials. There’s plenty of parking, which makes visiting convenient. However, they don’t serve halal food, which is a downside. On the plus side, the ice cream was quite good. We bought a couple of items, and as expected, the quality was standard for IKEA. Overall, a decent shopping experience with some room for improvement in food options.

Always a nice place to go, even if it's just for hotdogs and ice cream. It's like a playground for the kids , so many things to see and also you can find good ideas about improving your home setup.

Don’t bother with the click and collect. I have to drive an hour to get to the store and booked 2-4 collection. Im here now at 3:15 and they haven’t even picked the order. Why make me book a collection slot? If I waited for the email to set off, my arrival time would be too late to collect it within the slot. Impossible to plan around a company that can’t get their act together.

Terrible not that cheap have to walk miles round it and then find the exit which is not marked well. Least the cafe is half way round.

Most of the products were very simple and good. Food was decent.

I would like to thank all the Ikea team and security, my autistic child got lost from me for a few minutes and they found him very quickly and I would like to thank them for that and their professionalism.

I love ikea when I finally find it. There’s that much to look at and really looks good quality. I spend hours once there, staff are so helpful anyone you ask are always so friendly. Thank you

The quality of the Scandinavian flagship, IKEA, has gone down significantly. Clearly the flat pack furniture has no substance. Even the store display models are badly assembled and ill fitting.

Love a day at IKEA. But too many stinking people to enjoy. Germ fest. Food is lovely, meatballs a must. NO dime bars ! 😞

Terrific store....vast selection of good quality goods at competative prices!!

Lots of choice to pick from depending what your looking for you will find most things you need. Most the time the tills see not a problem but when busy expect to wait a long time.

Very popular. Could not wait , 100 people in the queue. But for good reason, still good food and service.

Busy, packed, spent too much money but you cannot help but love IKEA. Yes, I did buy a candle or two plus food bags 😁.

I love Ikea. All the ideas in there about how to create nice spaces in your home are brilliant.

Walking through IKEA, without spending a fortune, of course, is therapeutic. Their hot dogs are lovely!

This place is my second home. I'm ready to just move in and live there.

If you want to visit give Sunday a miss if possible try midweek when the kids are at school as it gets packed --yes there are nice items and well displayed in scenarios each room bathrooms bedros kitchens etc the place is wheelchair friendly- it is a massive building and takes some walking it features a cafeteria-yes some walking to be done but plenty to buy that odd small item as well as a large items there's a large car ark with disability parking and .easy. access of the M6 but as I say it gets dizzy on Sundays and you could be queueing to sin entry to the retail park 👍

Too difficult to skip area's, signage misleading. But good choice and displays

Exceptional just to go for lunch with their Swedish range of salmon and prawn salad options. Of its type possibly the best Swedish restaurant in the West Midlands but probably the only one too. Also some very clever ideas for the home.

Was okey, not much of a choice in any of the curtains, baby staff.

I hate going to this shop but happy wife quiet life

Brilliant store and could spend hours there.

People but their car in disabled bay they are not disabled they don't have bluebadges, shame on them.

Before I say anything, this is a great place to shop. BUT, as you transition from showroom to the shop area theirs touchscreens so you can order your flat pack items, But if you have a problem using the screen's people behind you get frustrated, so I left the store without purchasing bar stools. Please Please Please IKEA if you are reading this review, please have this area manned with a member of staff as there a great staff around the store to help.

Absolute joke of a company. This is the 3rd time I have placed an order with them and the 3rd time they have messed it up. Don't allow your system to arrange a delivery if you aren't going to stick to it. The communication is terrible, no notification to say the delivery wasn't coming even after I had spoken to three colleagues to ask where my delivery was. I paid for express delivery which has not been honored. The staff on the phone were useless and Ikea have made it impossible to make a complaint. Even the ombudsman they recommend doesn't help as it asks for the complaint in writing which I can't do due to them not having an email address or live chat function with an agent rather than a bot so a complaint is impossible. I am not happy in the slightest. This is a repetitive mistake so not an isolated incident. They don't think people have to wait in for these deliveries or take time out of work. Will never order from them again.

Hate going here always spend a fortune even when just browsing!stylish and well made products at sensible prices. Always go for a snack in cafe as well

IKEA, what else can you say. Cafe no longer serves meat balls.

So much here to make your home nice and quite good prices too but I tell u what it takes nearly 1 and a half hours approx to walk all through the two-storey levels... Bring plenty of cash/card as u can quite easily buy a lot of things whilst here.

Girl at the check out helped me out and sent me in the right direction after making a phone call.

Lots of new items in their store worth to brush around.

I had a problem with a poang footstool on two occasions recently, they did not hesitate to replace the base twice. I have to say the customer service helpline which is at Peterborough offers a service which is 2nd to none. I was in retail management most of my life so I do have some experience. Thank you, IKEA for making this a very pleasant experience in these very difficult times. I cannot emphasise how important is to be reassured that when one does purchase a product we will receive a good response from customer service if we have a problem, unfortunately, my experience in England at this particular moment in time leaves much to be desired with most companies. IKEA set an example for all companies to follow.

Usual ikea experience (no escape once you're in). Decent coffee at reasonable price. Lots of people to negotiate being Sunday but got what we went for

Has all that you need for the home.

Always a very good visit. A complete shop point for house

What else can you say other than if it's not in here it's nothing worth having!

Update: as regular customers of this particular location, we notice changes when they occur. Recently it seems that meatballs’ recipe has changed significantly. While it used to be the highlight of the visit with its hearty bites and meaty texture, now it’s more like a small Spam Ball with very watery gravy. Salmon was as good as always though. Cinnamon buns are still a must, and we had the luck to try their new-ish product Tiramisu, which is really nice. Cappuccino sadly had a burnt taste. Overall still a good visit, but need to bring back high quality food. ———- original review below ————- We love IKEA but this one was undersized in terms of parking space, and restaurant staff vs capacity. Maintenance seems to be an ongoing issue too. Multiple coffee machines are Out of Service continuously at the restaurant, and Bistro equipment need attention too. Luckily products save the day!

I was in this place today. I was looking for cookware intended for induction cookers. Unfortunately, I didn't find any. I am very disappointed. It is sad that IKEA decided to eliminate induction cookers from its inventory. I was in this place today. I was looking for cookware designed for induction cookers. Unfortunately, I didn't find any.

Bright and easy to navigate around, no hassle shopping a pleasure 👍

Had dinner while there. Meatballs and mash rather delicious. Tasted like faggots.

KALLAX Shelving unit, white, 42x112 cm.Why is this item not available at IKEA Birmingham? Is it possible for it to be available in the future, and when do you think that might be? Is there a way to purchase it? I am interested in buying it.

Very very busy, car park full (cars following people to get a space). Unfortunately ruins the experience if the place is absolutely rammed

Needs to be better laid out . We visited to buy a rug , hadn't been for 4 years , it's like a maze to navigate round , eventually found the rugs then a trolley, needed to ask the way out , got to the elevator but trolley not allowed , so I carried the large rolled up rug on my shoulder ( I am 69 ) after another 15 minutes and nearly knocking out a few people we made it to the check out . The products are really good but it's a nightmare to navigate.

So many floors, so many options. Lift for disabled and pushchairs. You will end up all day there lol

Candles carpets and containers all for the right price.

IKEA is a strange place,you walk in there and immediately want to sit down or sleep in one of the show rooms,a real beauty place....I just love how clean it is constantly and the way the staff are always ready to help but always leave you alone until they are needed-refreshing.

Love the place and you can get a good decent breakfast here too

Awful. Paid for express didn't get put in a room of my choice and won't refund any of the moneym tried to make complaint kept saying feedback. Lazy staff won't be using again

Staff unaware of legislation with price marking etc .....even described location of where i collected items from ....rarely visit ....be even rarer now !!

We purchased a kitchen over 3K, some of the items we were expecting and also we purchasing more items, as normal practice you cannot always buy correct items for a big project like a kitchen. I always keep invoices and use a family card, but my husband not that organised, I went to return some items for the credit as was purchasing more items, only one kitchen door was fully packed but no receipt, I explained the situation and asked for the credit on a gift card and was told NO by SALLY manager on return/ exchange department. The item was packed in IKEA packaging and never was opened, the purchased door was wrong size. The door is £74, not cheap product. For SALLY it would be nothing to give me a credit to a gift card, but SALLY as a manager is a very bad representative of IKEA brand! She represents the attitude “ I DO NOT CARE” If IKEA would like to have this kind of reputation, they would keep SALLY as a manager.

For people with lots of free time

An absolute maze of inspiration. Whether you want to design your home or have a walk without getting wet. It's worth a visit. First visit the cafe because you're going to need a drink and some fuel for your body, however, it's cheap so you don't mind. You can get some amazing items for cheap then only to get home to have the frustration of putting the furniture together

Huge site, great layout but expect a.horrendous wait and queue on Saturday!

Chloe was amazing today! My mum couldn’t find what she was looking for, she spoke to a few different colleagues but no one helped her. Chloe went above and beyond. Super friendly and a real asset to the Ikea team thank you!

Ordered and paid for a small kitchen plus fitting in Sept 2024. Still waiting for it to be completed. Staff hang up on you when you politely chase it up, send an email with no information, then you have to rejoin a queue for up to an hour to get through again.

Lots of items I needed were out of stock, however staff were friendly and helpful

As a big fan of IKEA, after we lost the Coventry store, this and Nottingham became our next closest (we live in Leicester) of which the Birmingham store is now our favourite, there is loads of parking and the late evening are lovely and clear to roam and shop without a heavy crowd to deal with.

IKEA deal both , budget man and pasta man

I haven't been here in years. Too warm. -5 outside and the tropics inside. Picked some great bits Had to grab a snack to rebalance my blood sugar levels, but everything is confusing. I obviously need to visit more frequently

We love IKEA. We did a click and collect and then a quick tour of the store. The only complaint would be that we wanted to return something but when we saw the queue we decided it wasn't worth it!!

Great for what you need but hate the maze affect feel like I in a escape room expecially when busy

Love love love ikea. Except when i have to do a return. But even then they make it easy and i get to sit n eat and have a coffee before i have to set off

Wish they would get address right ,Wednesbury is no where near Birmingham

Can't go wrong with a trip to ikea. Nice to walk around and see all the rooms set up. Easy to find what you're looking for and the cafe is nice too

Well organised, plenty of parking, easy to get to. I used to go to Bristol IKEA,but numerous and constant issues with M5 made me consider other options. Getting there was super easy, there was plenty of parking and, if you didn't manage to find things in IKEA, there are other shops on the same trading estate. We had a breakfast and then lunch after we finished shopping. Brilliant value! Shopping in IKEA is always a pleasure - well stocked, everything labelled and accessible.

IKEA Birmingham is very good for anyone who wants to buy anything that is related to household items. Or even gardening items probably and other things and I think lots of people go to shop there for various items and they do like it and find it’s good quality. Although It might not be the best quality it’s still good quality for everyone who likes shopping at IKEA Birmingham and people should visit this store.

Just annoying walking round to get to one place

Great ideas for the home. My only gripe is how slow the checkouts are. It's nice that the staff are friendly and chatty but it would be nice if those on checkout were aware of the queues building up while they are chatting to the customers.

Anaemic meatballs, watery gravy and miserable staff. Only two serving food at a busy time and only one on the tills, hence stone cold by the time we sat down. Furniture is great through 👍
