Ikea Restaurant

I went during late afternoon so lines were empty. The food was good as could get. The Mac and cheese was a dry and clumpy. Wouldn't recommend. But I highly recommend any of their seafood entrees. The downstairs Cafe also had new items like the Swedish sundae which is a small cup of meatballs, gravy, lingonberry sauce and Mashed potatoes. Was really good but the portion was not as much as advertised.

The Havana Chicken was alright. There wasn't much flavor on the beans and rice. The chicken itself was cooked the right amount but didn't have too much seasoning either. It's not a huge portion considering it costed only $10. I much preferred the Swedish meatballs meal. This is their signature dish for a reason. The meatballs have a nice consistency and are well seasoned. The sides also reminded me of Thanksgiving food. The structure of the restaurant is like a cafeteria. An employee comes around every now and then to wipe down the tables. You're expected to clean up after yourself and put the trays into the tray area.

We went for the kid craft Wednesday and got two free kid meals with an adult meal. It was decent food. I do have a suggestion: I stead of set kid meals, maybe let the customer pick the entree and one or two sides. My daughter likes chicken nuggets but not the sides that necessarily come with it. Thanks though! I like the plentiful high chairs and home-like (duh) set up. Everyone was very friendly.

Delicious food. They have really good köfte which you can get in multiple types - meat, chicken, plant, veggie. It comes with lingo berry sauce and gravy, mashed potatoes and veggies. Very delicious! Also cinnamon buns, ice cream, and icees are good! They have nice greke salad and desserts too. Fountain drinks are unique as well - pear, lemonade, lingonberry, etc. Afiyet olsun - njut av maten!

Post pandemic it's not too bad. You need to wait line to get an assigned table so that it's adequately spaced from other diners. You're handed a tray and your table is assigned a number. Then you can get in line for food. Everything else is the same as before. Food is pretty good, prices are great. Leave your tray and dishes on the table, though. My wee grandson enjoyed going for an Ikea treat like we used to do before the pandemic. Almost back to normal!

Wow! Some guy was walking in the entrance same time as me: I say, “What’s the rush, Stranger?” He says, “Breakfast, cheap breakfast.” I say, “Where?” Dude says, “Upstairs. In the cafeteria.” I say, “Thanks.” Then I went upstairs to the cafeteria and ate a cheap, decent breakfast. Mom didn’t raise no Dummy.
