First IKEA store in Delhi serves up hot dogs and meatballs, with options for vegetarians too
Food and lifestyle influencer Arjun Madan gave his followers a glimpse of what they can grab at the IKEA cafe in Delhi.
Food at IKEA Delhi
IKEA's food offerings have become almost as iconic as its flat-pack furniture. The brand brings a taste of Sweden to its stores worldwide while also catering to local tastes.
At its Delhi outlet, customers can enjoy IKEA's famous meatballs and hot dogs, along with cheese cakes, vegetable chips, cinnamon buns and other confectionaries. 'IKEA is in Delhi and I obviously shopped a lot but I was so excited about the IKEA cafe!' Madan wrote on Instagram.
During his trip to IKEA Delhi, Madan tried the chicken hot dog, a spritzer and the chicken meatballs, which were served with lingonberry jam on top.
According to IKEA, 'Swedes love to eat lingonberry jam with meatballs, mashed potatoes and cream sauce'. These berries grow wild in Swedish forests, and have become a mainstay of the IKEA menu worldwide. For that reason, too, Madan chose to sample the lingonberry spritzer instead of other flavours on offer like raspberry or lemon.
While the menu during Madan's visit did not include veggie meatballs, they are known to be available at other IKEA cafes in India, keeping in mind the country's large vegetarian population.
Vegetarians at IKEA can try the veggie hot dog and the assorted vegetable chips.

Billionaire Family Offices Join Berkshire in UnitedHealth Bet
(Bloomberg) -- Some of the world's wealthiest people joined Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. in backing embattled insurer UnitedHealth Group Inc. in the second quarter. George Soros's investment firm, the family office of a Swedish packaging dynasty and Michael Platt's BlueCrest Capital Management all increased their stakes in UnitedHealth last quarter, according to 13F filings published Thursday. UnitedHealth's stock plummeted this year following a string of setbacks, beginning with the fatal shooting of a top executive in New York City in December. Several months later the company slashed its financial outlook amid mounting medical costs, and its chief executive officer abruptly resigned. Meanwhile, the health-care firm is under federal investigation related to Medicare billing practices. The tumult raised its appeal for resourced investors known for contrarian and value wagers, including hedge fund billionaire David Tepper, whose Appaloosa Management raised its stake by 2.3 million shares, making the insurer its second-biggest holding. The disclosure of Buffett's UnitedHealth purchase sent the company's shares soaring 13% to $306.52 at 11:18 a.m. in New York. Berkshire's stake is worth about $1.6 billion. Family offices also leaned into tech last quarter, with Soros and the Parker family's Kemnay Advisory Services boosting their stakes in Apple Inc., while Platt's BlueCrest and Iconiq Capital, a multifamily office that manages money on behalf of several Silicon Valley billionaires, bought more Nvidia Corp. shares. Money managers overseeing more than $100 million in US equities are required to file a 13F form within 45 days of the end of each quarter to list their holdings in stocks that trade on US exchanges. It offers one of the few glimpses into how hedge funds and some large family offices invest. Other highlights from second-quarter 13F filings include: More stories like this are available on
