The Chicken Kiev Special at Ikea Restaurant & Cafe exploded when I cut into it. Yikes, it sure had a lot of the Herbed Butter inside. The Chicken was tender, but I realized that I’m not a big fan of Chicken Kiev. It looks like I’ll be heading back towards the Meatballs in the Ikea lunch rotation.

I got all of this at Ikea’s Restaurant & Cafe for $3.99 — It’s Penne Pasta with a combination of Marinara & Alfredo Sauce, Vegetables, Garlic Toast and a Salad. That’s less than you’d pay at a fast food joint, and a lot more food. As previously reported, the environment is relaxing and its cafeteria style ordering is fun.
HOWEVER, although this looks good, it’s kinda bland. I liked the Garlic Toast and the Salad Bar, but their Ranch Dressing has that tart taste I avoid in some. Overall, for the price I’d doctor it up with Salt, Pepper, and the Parmesan Cheese they offer with it. And I’d try a different Salad Dressing.

If you work or live near an Ikea Store, you should consider it a worthy place for lunch. The prices are reasonable, the food is good and the cafeteria environment is a fun escape. Why not skip the fast food joint and opt for the Ikea Restaurant & Cafe. It’s fast and roughly the same cost. I always get the Swedish Meatballs with extra Gravy and Lingonberry Preserves. I love the combination. I also buy the frozen (Meatballs), powdered (Gravy) and jarred (Preserves) from their Food Market and make all at home. It’s an enjoyable quick meal.
