Food half price on a Friday, so great value. Just not many staff, so by the time your served and you've paid your food is somewhat cool. Pay first is my suggestion.Parking: Absolutely loads of parkingKid-friendliness: Kids play area, kids stuff for sale, kids food ,Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of level parking bays and good wide doors, not too sure how easy it is inside the shop, but you can easily get in (and by that token get out easily too it's the in-between bit that might be a challenge.)

A half full restaurant, lots of staff members, only one person actually serving, no savoury food in the fridges at all, a 20 deep queue. Zero hustle, slow and sloppy - reminds me of France!

Limited menu bit convenient if shopping in IKEA.

Slow service and tatty furniture (perhaps a furniture company nearby could supply some new products?). Skeleton staff during the week. 20 minute queues.There’s a piece of music played on a 1 second loop, which after about 10 mins feels like torture.

We did a bit of shopping today so called into IKEA for lunch, we had the meat balls chips and peas, what a load of rubbish, I should have waited until I got home and had something. The meal was warm at best, cheap bullet peas. We were hungry and there wasn't much so we ate it. We all like different food but I thought it was crap.

Ikea Leeds at approx 4-30 today. Food was the worst food I've ever eaten. Cold chips, cold stodgy salmon, clap cold peas, cold onion rings. Coffee hot. The cafe has been getting worse now for a long time. There's no cold foods eg salmon salads. the mash was sticking to the side of the serving dish , the fried fish was very thin and the batter was almost black at £6-50 it looked appalling hence not purchasing it. I did wonder why the cafe was absolutely empty and remained so for almost half an hour. What a poor show it was I will never eat in that establishment again. Many people walked in and looked at the food and walked out a few people purchased drinks only. As a massive company you should be ashamed of the dreadful unappetising food that you are trying to sell to the general public who by the way are not stupid. Yes we could have taken it back but there was no alternatives, and certainly no substitutes. What has gone wrong?? years ago when Ikea first came to the area it was guaranteed that a very good meal could be purchased even though the plate was never full. Now the plate is even less full all the food is cold and the cost has escalated . We paid almost £20 for rubbish simply pure unadulterated rubbish. Our money would have been better spent on a hot dog which was around £1.00. I have in the past told my friends it is worth the wait for food as it was very good and reasonably priced. I will now tell everyone I know not to throw money away at the cafe. I would like a response please ,= Wendy Duckworth

My visit yesterday was absolutely shocking. I used to love coming to the restaurant. Vegi sausages were like sawdust and there is no option to swap items. At lunchtime there was only one server and she left to put some more chips on. Massive queue n no more staff came. All food just sat there getting cold while she's spending ages counting meatballs. Not her fault as she should of had more help. It was ridiculous. Poor woman next to me only wanted soup she had been queuing for ages to find out they had ran out. Luckily smart women on till heard her complaint n said pay for it now n ill get some baught over when ready. Was very professional of her n kind. Chips were lukewarm n soggy, no salad in fridge although advertised. The only good thing was the cappuccino!!

Wow come at a weekday lunchtime one person serving so 30 mins to order food then queue all over again for ten mins to pay - for food that’s now cold … abysmal

We arrived at 10:40 straight to the restaurant for breakfast, a queue it was taking ages. Due to one staff member serving. We were almost to the front and the staff member said no more breakfast what is left is what is left. this was 11:15. It wasn't our fault their wasn't enough staff. On actually being served there were no eggs left just one awful looking omlette that looked like it had been their hours. we called the manager who apologised for the lack of staff. Not really acceptable. I took my plate to the table & after the first mouthful spat it out. It was cold and rubbery absolutely disgusting. We took it back to the till. After a considerable amount of time the same staff member came out and reimbursed us for our meal. It was awful. On trying to get out of the place as quick as possible my god I hope your never in a rush. it was like a maize. Talk about stress when all you want to do is get out. What a god dam awful place to be in. Firs time I have ever been and will not be going again.

Can't fault the food or the portion size as they made my a small portion due to dietary needs.Staff were really friendly and polite.
Been many times and never had a problem but today there were no knives so we had to eat our lunch without one. Several people had the same problem but nobody brought any, they arrived just as we had finished our lunch.Parking: Good number of accessible spacesWheelchair accessibility: IKEA is excellent for wheelchairs as the aisles are wide.

We visited during Easter hols so expected it to be busy but I have no idea how it took so long (almost 40 mins queuing) to serve people food that was already made and just needed plating. It took so long we almost have up. Food was ok but had to root around for clean knives and there were no napkins anywhere. It’s not rocket science and as my son sad “it’s like the canteen at school but it takes longer”
