IKEA Restaurant 🍗I love the IKEA Restaurant & Cafe. We went to the Festival City Centre IKEA Restaurant and it was amazing! We had such a wonderful time for our lunch. They have a range of selection of different snacks and meals which are pretty delicious and the price range is also pretty reasonable.It reminds me of my school days when I used to go to the canteen to buy food. The IKEA Restaurant gives you a trolley and trays and you pick the food you want and put it on the tray.We ordered the Rosemary Grilled Chicken with Mashed Potatoes (It came with a refill drink!) and Vegetable Spring Rolls. It was delicious! I loved it so much.It was the exact healthy meal that I needed to start my IKEA shopping. The Grilled Chicken was so soft and juicy and the brown sauce was a real good compliment to that.I enjoyed my lunch at IKEA Restaurant and will go surely go there again!

Clean and efficient with good food service hygiene. The meals are well priced and cooked well enough. Fish and some paella seafood is inevitably a bit dry and overcooked due to hot holding, but overall its a satisfactory and economical venue

Had breakfast, it was absolutely disgusting.the mushrooms tasted like dishwasher, sausages were anemic. Beans were cold, hash browns were hard and cold. I told the staff and all they said was thank you. This would not happen in Europe .

IKEA restaurants is always best know of its variety of menu. Each day the menu changes and there are good offers on weekdays. The most well know food in the menu is none other than IKEA meatballs.

Update: IKEA family members free coffee have amendment .. they stopped providing milk based drink.Though you can have black coffee or expresso or black tea for rest you need to pay and get it.In away they are saying welcome to certain coffee lovers and for the rest that you are not welcome anymore 🤔So my below old review stands even more valid. They are not as good as they were. And they proved it yet again.After years of good service and food... Had really very bad experience. With a new incharge with very bad behaviour. Ruined my day with the kids.Hope IKEA will train and put better human at their restaurant.

IKEA and some good food at IKEA 😋IKEA restaurant has some real yummy snacks to munch on.You gotta grab a cart and add in your food items into your cart and get to the billing counter, just like you are shopping around.What we tried ?- Meat Balls with Mashed potatoes 🍖(Not very much in my favor)-Chicken stripsLoved it!! so juicy on the inside, with the nice crunch on the outside. I have been craving for this one since then.And a cup of coffee, that can be refilled multiple times 🤪Such an amazing place to relax with variety of good food at affordable rates.

Tables were dirty, there is no staff around to clean the tables and nobody available to help.The new scheme is a ripoff. I find it disgusting that you have to charge for milk or milk based coffee. It really shows how youve stooped to a new low. This will be my last visit here.

If you are shopping in ikea and looking for a quick bite this could be a good option. However the vegetarian food they have was very average

Review №13

Whenever we visit Ikea we always tend to go to their food court unintended. The meatballs are always consistently good and the prices are affordable. I also like the organised concept of how everyone goes through this conveyer belt/American school cafeteria system to get their food, and its very convenientThe Almond butterscotch cake is my personal favourite dessert and its times like this I really do not like sharing my food because I want to devour it all by myself. They even had a promotion during the DSF 2019 during which they were serving hotdogs for AED 1/- each we relished it every bit. No

Great place to visit for healthy and diet foods. We can select the foods with trolley with queuing system in place. Team DARLSCO have visited several times and its wonderful place for discussion, relax and enjoy quality foods. Maintained well, and the staff in service and cash counter are polite, and well behaved.

Review №17

This is a very good food option for all ages and all types. It is a small buffet and not much variety of food, but it will definitely suffice your need if you are looking for a quick bite.This restaurant location is also unique due to the fact that it is part of the IKEA shopping shop which is within the Dubai Festival City mall.It has a good variety of food including: Salmon, beef, chicken, vegetables and soup of the day. They also have fresh orange juice with yogurt and bottled water.The sweets variety is also small but it can be suitable for many people.I highly recommend this restaurant buffet for the fact that it is a good variety of food where it is also a semi self service.

Review №18

A truly hidden gem with fresh and tasty treats here to try out. Best of the lot of course is the salmon in butter & dill sauce. Feel like heaven with every fill of that dish. You can even try their hot dogs and shawarmas and even carrot cakes if your not in much for an appetite. The pastas were average and the shrimps were pretty decent Ill say.

Well done Surya!We accidentally spilled beverage on the table and Surya came to help. We were very embarrassed of the mess we made, he said it was okay and helped us move to another table so he could clean up the mess. As we settled in, to my surprise he brought me a clean mug and said I could get the drink I needed. It was very thoughtful.Another situation when getting the beverage was a customer spilling the content of her consumed drink into the ice/soda dispenser. The staff politely explained, trying to stop her but the customer did not comply. The staff was more than patient to have managed such customer. I commend the level of service from all employees we encountered.Well done to the Ikea Restaurant Team. I hope every customer is as respectful as all of you.

With my family I used to visit IKEA restaurant most of the days as they are providing good healthy food in reasonable price. We used to order hommos, chicken strips, beef meat ball with mashed potatoes, daime chocholate cake, fresh orange juice, coffee . Kids meal and soup of the day also available in reasonable price.

It’s a nice place for food tripping. It’s a kind of cozy food court. Food options looks cozy yet very affordable and good tasting too. Food order kart too is very convenient instead of carrying a tray while searching for a table. It’s a very customer / diner friendly place. Foods are freshly served too. Everything is just so convenient and fast. Sorry for the photos though, couldn’t resist to start digging in so just took photos in the middle of the meal.

A very nice place to relax after walking miles inside Ikea. Or just a place for friends to shop for you food and then eat in a very pleasant setup. Its got several types of seating arrangement, sofas, high stool, chairs etc...Next is the food... I am a pure vegetarian so I got good variety to choose from. But for non veg foodies its a gud tryout...Finally, this place is very reasonable... All the food below was just for 38.So, I think this place deserves to be tried out at least once... We liked it :)

Priced reasonably and good food here. You can eat after you shop or just visit Ikea for the amazing food they serve here. Free refills on drinks and free wifi. Great place to sit and work if you’re doing something on your laptop or on your phone. I really liked the space they’ve used for the restaurant and the furnitures. You might have a hard time finding a place there. Overall, great experience, Loved it!!

Ikea restaurant, one of the unique featured restaurant i have been to till date. You take a trolley and get in a que like a buffet system but not the buffet. You get everything live maid and the food is finger licking good. Quality of the food is mind boggling. The appetizers and the taste of the food and drinks is amazing. The staff is so helpful and friendly to suggest you side dishes with the main course, the value for money place. It serves food in a very fast pace at 10mins per customer and 10 customers can get served at once. The ambience, environment and the atmosphere is so lively and relaxing.Loved it here. I would recommend this place to all my known people.A huge thanks to the staff and rest of the team of this place.Good job and all the best.

Of course flawless parking because IKEA is located within the Dubai Festival City mall. Lots of space and light-flooded entrance. Thursday is my day to go to the IKEA restaurant because of the delicious Lasagne al forno. I take extra pieces for home and within minutes in the oven it is still great. So many topics about the IKEA restaurant to mention, but I definitely do not have enough space here to note them down all. I love the endless ice cubes you can get from the soft drink machine. Great design in general. State of the art functionalities such as charging stations for mobile and laptop. Affordable prices. Quality food. Many different choices of meals. Of course very attentive staff. Always helpful and kind. In general very clean. Many staff around to keep the busy tables and floors clean.

Review №63

This restaurants evolving everytime, it was small restaurant before with overcrowded hungry breakfast hunters, now it has ample space for dine in with good seating arrangement, sometimes it can be turned into a meeting areas in some part of it, as the breakfast offers is pocket friendly with add ons that can satisfies your hunger strike, this place usually very busy during weekend and small crowd during day time as they have special offer free top up coffee on weekdays for IKEA Family card holders only, the card is free and very easy to get, the benefit is to look for, lunch and dinner menu also not to be missed, they have typical sweden menus, fish, steak, vegetables and kids menu for all meal time. The sofas areas near the entrance was removed, sad, it was one of the good spot, feels like home. But there are cushions seats available too. Visit this place you would come back.

Healthy dining options and almost always quick, professional service. The prices are very down to earth, as IKEA commits to keeping them in their business model, and the quality is consistently acceptable or above expectation. On weekdays, I enjoy that they offer IKEA family members a free coffee with the meal. Also, theres generally a decent promotional meal available for around €8 equivelant. Best value for lunch that I know of in the city.

Like everything in IKEA, its restaurant/cafe too is a journey. And in the best way possible. The breakfast menu is amazing and so is the lunch and dinner. The items on the buffet change accordingly. The self service concept is beautiful. They have recently extended their seating space due to increasing crowds. But to enjoy completely, I recommend picking a early weekday brunch time.

This restaurant lives up to the goal of providing the whole IKEA experience. Great food at very reasonable prices. They have very thoughtfully provided these food carts on wheels, so you pick one at the start of the line, put on the food trays and start moving forward. There are sections where you can pick items yourselves and other sections where you let the server know what you want, and which gets served to you in plates or bowls, as appropriate. Eventually you end up at the billing counters, where also you pick up the cutlery and food napkins. Great, great place to be if you want to enjoy some great food, shopping or not.

Guess ikea should stop with selling furnitures and home needs .. they are far away from restaurant business ..We had bought roasted chicken and veggies / fish chips .. both the dishes were atrocious.. chicken was way too hard no flavours ..also 25 aed for the chic.. is not worth at all.. i would rather pay 15 aed for spinneys or even lulus chicken which is way way much better in all aspect !!In fish n chips ..the French fries were soggy and it tastes very old and dry !! I never tasted such an pathetic french fries in my life ... Almond cake was ok ,better than the other too ! It spoiled the mood hence.. Ikea restaurant hands down !!!
