IKEA Sheffield Restaurant in Rotherham

Its the first time we had been to Ikea Sheffield, but we were in Sheffield and needed something from Ikea, we thought we would get a snack at the same time, other branches of Ikea open earlier so you can use the restaurant and gather your shopping but most of the place was closed and the staff very unhelpful. We went to the restaurant and wish we hadn't, the prices are low but the food is lower, inedible in fact, won't make that mistake again! I felt ill for the rest of the day, the food was like warm, greasy and tasted like plastic. The store is hard to navigate on several floors and you seem to walk miles to get one thing and get to the restaurant.

Fish chips & mushy peas, ok, plate when looking at it was filthy, food residue underneath felt like sandpaper & a film on the top around the edge of the plate.

We ordered a chickpea curry with rice and 12 meatballs with fries, peas and gravy plus an apple pie and a gooey chocolate cake with a cup of refillable coffee and a lemonade and it was just over £16 - bargain! Service was quick and the food was tasty.

It was ok ,cheap has chips Mast produced Not hot infact on the border of cold to very luke warm . Shame because it was a nice meal . Restaurant staff was very good .

Difficulty finding a clean table to dine at as there appeared to be no where clear to sit at. Most tables were cluttered with someone else’s dirty pots and those tables which were clear of pots were sticky with crumbs and spillages and needed a good wipe down. We had to ask for our table to be wiped - which she eventually did , however she totally ignored all the other tables which needed attention.

The single, biggest problem is lack of staff My family and I visited on a Saturday afternoon. Very busy. Just one person serving and doing so ridiculously slowly. It took ages to get served. Also could not undertand woman serving as she had a tiny voice, with a heavy foreign accent. It took so long to get served that our food was cold. We will not be visiting again. We would most certainly not recommend to other families.

Me and my partner and our grandson went shopping for bedroom furniture so we decided to have breakfast we had to queue for quite some time because there was only one person serving and when we were standing in line we saw a member of staff preparing food without any gloves on picking up food and placing it on a tray I think it was a desert when we finally got served the food was unedable it must have been there a while it was rock hard and we left 90% of it not a good experience at all . We won’t be eating there ever again

On a recent trip to look for a new desk after a good look around we went for a coffee. Great drinks and sat in the window in the sun amazing value. The breakfasts looked good!

Excellent breakfast, bacon, two sausages, beans, tomato, omelette piece, hash browns and tea for £5 No queues mid morning on a Monday, friendly staff all with a table with a view What not to like

After a busy shop, we decided to try the hotdogs at the bistro, well what an experience that turned out to be, we stood for 25 mins in the queue that wasn’t really very long because staff were that slow and uninterested in their job, there wasn’t any “sorry for the wait” or nothing. There was also an older female who was emptying the bins who was very rude to customers. I expected more from ikea!

Incompetent supervision. What kind of restaurant or cafe and this is a low quality cafe advertises it's open until 8.30 pm but puts chairs on over half the tables at 6pm then serves food without making sure there are actually knives and forks available to eat it with and what few there were not being enough for our table were stained due to poor quality cleaning. Hostels for the homeless and refugees do better than this.

Tasteless and salty. No of us could finish our breakfast. Mushrooms undercooked soaked in water, sausages cheapest fatty and no flavour. All bad.

What on earth is going on with the IKEA restaurant in Sheffield? I know one doesn't expect gourmet food when ordering meatballs and chips with berries, but come on. Let me list the issues. Firstly, the meatballs have changed and have a nasty, wet texture and do not taste nice. Second, the "fresh garden peas" were almost grey from being kept warm for....I wouldn't like to guess how long. Third, the entire dish was swamped in a concealing mass of IKEA meatball sauce. I mean everything: the meatballs, the chips, the lingonberries, the peas. The meal looked like a tragedy in browns. Finally, it was lukewarm, apart from the chips which were cold. Revolting. My wife asked for the salmon which was supposed to come with mixed steam vegetables. The serving person started ladling a huge pile of aforementioned peas onto the plate. When my wife asked about the steamed mixed vegetables, they said they were finished. They then removed the peas and started piling rostis onto her plate. So instead of a relatively healthy option, my wife had a meal as tragic as my own. This is a staff issue, I'm sure. Like I say, one doesn't expect gourmet but IKEA, you can at least train your staff to treat the food - and your customers - with a little respect. I should add that the Sheffield store seems to have a particular problem in this regard. We've never had a meal as bad as this in, say, the Nottingham store. So hej, IKEA, it was not hygge.

I ordered the salmon dish yesterday. Advertised at £5.95 for salmon, peas and something else (nice but can’t remember name). Was asked if I wanted loganberry sauce, to which I said yes please. Then told no peas, I asked if I could have a few chips instead but no, I asked if there was a reduction, no. It was still £5.95 and seemed just bad luck there were no peas! Seems petty to make a fuss but surely it’s not right to offer a substitute? I asked to speak to the manager, they did not come out but sent a message to say my cake could be free so that was good. I only was asking for 45p reduction or small handful of chips, I really shouldn’t have had to add to the queues ! Seems crazy they are allowed to charge full price for a dish and only provide part of it. Seems crazy I had to complain.

Had lunch today, but a very reduced menu, not much choice and the ice cream machine downstairs wasn’t working either. Hope this improves.

i am a support worker how went to IKEA for some lunch with my service user how is in a wheelchair, i couldn't leave him to collect our meals so i asked a member of staff help help me with this i got the kindest man who literally went above and beyond to do so, the meal was lovely and i will definitely be going back again iv try to get in touch with IKEA to tell them but had no luck

Disappointing choice for Coeliacs! The staff couldn’t say which ( if at all) food was gluten free, I was directed to a touch screen to find out, but it wasn’t working, so all I could have was a coffee. Please instruct the restaurant staff so they can advise customers which foods are gluten free. Love the Store and everything in it, just the restaurant was a disappointment.

Cheap and cheerful food. Does the job and is genuinely really really inexpensive!! So for what it is, it’s very good. Obviously this is not ‘restaurant quality’ food, but I’m reviewing it for what it is.

Best value tea and cake I think I’ve had, ever. For £1.95 got a warm cinnamon bun, slice of Swedish apple cake and 3 cups of tea (tea was free using Ikea Family card). The experience was great even with what is happening with Covid. Booked the table upon arriving at Ikea, then was seated straight away when we went at our pre booked time, then served with no queue. The food was brought over perhaps around a minute after ordering and we was wished to enjoy it, a lot better service than lots of ‘high end’ coffee places at a fraction of the price. The cinnamon bun was warm and the correct size piece of cake for the price, and PG Tips tea was used which is a bonus as lots of places seem to use either too strong or weak teas. Service was much better than lots of other places, and all round an enjoyable experience.

First visit since Covid and actually feel the cafe has benefited from the changes. You have to reserve a table upon entry to Ikea. Once your time slot arrives, you are taken to your table and then one from your party can go to the counter to place the order. After that it is then table service. One of the most annoying things previously about the Ikea cafe is the long queues to get served so this was a nice change to just relax whilst somebody waits on you. All staff we encountered were lovely and friendly. Meatballs were to the usual standard. Taste good and for the price you pay, you can't really complain! I hope they keep some of these systems in place once we are through the other side of covid (if we ever get there!)

Very bad service and they don’t have a complain procedure. Person we complain to seems not to know what to do. Not sort out problem not even apologise never again

We are used to excellent food from Ikea as we use Ikea in The Metro Gateshead. But Ikea in Meadowhall was a very different beast. I know it was Feb Half-Term but only one serving aisle was open and by the time we had queued...

Staff behind the counter are miserable and serve like you're in a prison que by the time you get to pay its all cold slop do not recommend anything from here

We arrived at 10am on Tuesday morning. Not particularly busy. Had one sausage breakfast roll and one vegetarian sausage breakfast roll. The rolls were very soft and good quality. The meat sausages didn't taste good (have they been changed ?) And the vegetarian sausages were...

We decided to walk to Ikea to buy a picture frame. Before we shopped we popped into the cafe and had a coffee, then a scone. Both excellent and very good value for money. We sat in the sofa area, very relaxing.

Its a Ikea the food is ok , but we have been to many an Ikea and his by far was not the best. You have to wait for an awful long time , and then hardly a choice . Ikea you need to offer...

Very busy but served fast with friendly service. Excellent value for money, especially so with an Ikea family card. Empty plates, really enjoyed.

Ikea meatballs with the sauce and jam - oh the joy. A silly little pleasure in life and so affordable. Add the peas and bosh. BUT - On this occasion I declined the peas because the poor lass who was serving was so rushed that...

Whilst shopping in the Store, we went for lunch at the in-store restaurant. The food is good and tasty with large portions. Good choice with some typically Swedish dishes available. The only downside is at busy times they could do with having more tills open...

This is a very large self service restaurant selling a small range of food but it all looked good. There is plenty of seating including banks of tables where you can get power for your computer or phone. I had an open Danish sandwich with...

Yes, the food is cheap and is only meant to be canteen food that fuels you up for a spending spree in the store but, surely, someone could wipe down the tables and clean up the debris from the floor? It was dirty and unacceptable...

Barely warm food served onto a cold plate. Ikea should get this sorted. Hot food should be still hot when you sit down to eat it.

Large restaurant with quick service. Extremely good value meals. Popular with young mums. Clean and modern. Recommended

For coffee and cake it’s great, especially during the week with a family card, you can get 2 coffees and 2 cakes for @£2-£3. Not convinced on the main meal side of things, always looks a bit rushed. I’m going to stick to the coffee...

I visited IKEA today. The Cgeckout Staff Member was rude and abrupt especially to the Chinese Customer in front of me. The lady in the Cafe in the way out was also very unpleasant it diesnt cost anything to smile She looked and acted as...

2 queues with only 1 very slow server on ours. Several people wandering about doing very little When we got food it was nearly cold and mostly left uneaten. Asked why they could not put another server on our and told they hadn't turned up...

I have eaten breakfast and lunch in this restaurant a couple of times. The quality, delivery, taste and cost of food makes it one of my favourite restaurant in Sheffield. The breakfast is only well prepared, but taste great and down right cheap. For all...

This amazing cafe in IKEA has cake ,drinks, main meals meatballs, fish and chips etc. It is very unique in the way they do there food as they have Swedish foods and also British foods. And has a amazing view !. I recommend this cafe...

Stopped here a few times, it's ok and fairly warm. Today the breakfast was a touch greasy. I also think on a weekend that the breakfast/brunch should stay on longer say 11:30am. They open end the lunch line at 11:00am and not surprisingly no one...

It was raining so we decided to have a walk round Ikea and lunch, I have eaten here in the past and have always been satisfied with the standard of food. He decided on meatballs and in retrospect I wish I had too. For some...

Had the meatballs which were soggy,greasy and raw in the middle ..asked for mash potato which was advertised but was informed there was no mash so had to have chips,the lad behind the counter was miserable..got my partner the fish and chips of which he...

Very well laid out and wheelchair friendly, with excellent lifts and helpful staff. The restaurant meatballs could become a staple diet

£3 for 2 coffees and 2 cakes ‼️🍰amazing value but only on week afternoons but both were well worth it and well it would be wrong not to take advantage of this perfect little offer ,,!👌😉

I've eaten at Nottingham and one near Leeds which was hot and edible. Took my Granddaughter first when the Sheffield one opened had there meat balls with chips, I wasn't impressed not been since. Service was very slow with long queues, then when I finally...

We have eaten breakfast in here on numerous occasions, you can if the queue to pay is long end up with a cold breakfast. Today it was relatively lights so all good. The food quality is ok, and tasty enough with a small breakfast being...

Meatballs and mash. In all other ikea stores I’ve had consistently good food. This is the second experience I’ve had of food at Sheffield ikea where the food has been barely warm. A mix of hot mash and Luke warm meatballs and gravy, very disappointing....

Fish n chips served by miserable uninterested staff. Fish (if fish??).. Was grey and cold, chips were like cold cardboard. I know its IKEA and didn't expect fine dining but save ya £4.95 and go to greggs. On a plus side cafe was clean, spacious...

Always good value but the service is so slow. Need more staff at busy periods. We had breakfast but the queue was so long. It’s always the same. Would have thought better with IKEA’s efficiency

On a recent shopping trip we ate at IKEA Sheffield, the food was very good with a basic efficient service the salmon was excellent

We entered IKEA Sheffield at 9.30am to have a breakfast. The queue was pretty short (15 people) but it took 14 minutes to get served. There were three cooks behind the serving counter but only one serving and this seems a common policy in the...

If you're going to Ikea then you must have meatballs! For less than a fiver you get 10 meatballs, chips, cream sauce and lingonberry jam - delicious! I also had dime bar cake which is my favourite. Got a children's meal of fishcake, mash and...

A very limited range of food, but what there is was served hot and with a smile. I like the meatballs, but the salmon is also good as is the fish. Deserts are good value for money. the coffee whilst free to members is only...

For saying the food here is so cheap, its okay, and does the job. The staff seemed very well trained, efficient, friendly and happy to help. Very quick service, plenty of places to sit and clean tables! Great for a quick and cheap meal to...

IKEA restaurant - what you have come to expect and know. Food variety is enough to give choice. Well cooked and - as usual - by time you have it to your table it isn't what you would call hot. However you know this.

Never eaten in an IKEA restaurant before and if the food served at their Sheffield branch was anything to go by, we probably never will do so again! It was pretty hopeless with virtually no redeeming factors in it's favour, except cost. It reminded me...

Yesterday, we called at the restaurant before shopping at IKEA SHEFFIELD. It was very, very strange and not really the sort of experience we would have expected from Ikea. Although there were staff were working away in the background, it seemed as if they were...

We had lunch with our children today and it was just ok. The queues were very large & they forgot to put veg on our meals. I wanted soup which you help yourself to after passing the main meal section - when we got to...

Went to IKEA Sheffield on Saturday 8th September 2018 (yesterday) & arrived in the restaurant at approximately 12.15 hrs. We sat my elderly mother at a table & queued for food & drinks. It took a whole hour to reach the front of the queue...

Went on my first visit to an Ikea store with a friend and their children.We started with lunch.I had the fish and chips , my companion meatballs.My meal was ok, much what I would expect in a canteen type cafe. Refillable soft drinks and coffee/...

Rude to shop at IKEA and not eat. Food was pretty good and very reasonable value. Pretty busy when we attended but plenty of chairs and tables. Nice stopping point for future journeys south.
