IKEA Cafeteria @ Ikano Centre, Mutiara Damansara, Petaling Jaya

Do you know that besides being a shopping haven for home furniture, IKEA is also a great place to dine! The IKEA cafeteria serves a range of affordable and nice food, which explains the large crowd especially during the weekends and holidays. The concept is simple. Push a trolley that's 3 tiers tall, queue up like everyone else, get some trays and cutleries, and let your itchy hands roam. By taking what you want from the display counters. Yup, it is self service.

You would find Swedish food and desserts and more. Also, a cup of tea or coffee costs RM3 and soft drinks at Rm1.50, you'll have unlimited refills at the refilling station. In addition, most of the food are cooked, or rather, dished up on the spot, for instance their signature Swedish meatballs, fish and chips, Chicken Leg with Swedish herb & lemon sauce, herb baked salmon, roast chicken/fried chicken, spaghetti and etc.

Their meatballs, made from minced beef are the best, served with thick gravy from beef stock, and lingonberry jam, with thick cut fries. These meatballs have soft fluffy bites, which is ideal for soaking up with the delicious gravy.


Chicken Leg with Swedish Herb and Lemon Sauce is lovely albeit the mild spiciness, but the taste is bland. It comes with baked potatoes and salad.

They do serve a variety of cold cuts such as Gravard Lax which is cured raw salmon slices, various sandwiches, such as the shrimp sandwich, croissants, muffins, cakes, as well as fruit juices and mineral water. As for dessert, Daim Cake is really good. It tastes almost like Crispy chocolates, sweet, slightly crunch with its Almond bits and absolutely irresistible.
