IKEA has finally opened its first store in Delhi, and it has created quite a buzz online. This marks the Swedish furniture giant's debut in North India, as it already has stores in Hyderabad, Mumbai and Bengaluru. Apart from home decor items, the brand is also known for its food offerings, which are served at a designated cafe/bistro space within their store premises. IKEA's Delhi outlet is located in Pacific Mall, Tagore Garden. Visitors here can now get a taste of many of its iconic dishes and drinks. Arjun Madan, a lifestyle influencer, attended the launch event for the IKEA Delhi store and shared a sneak peek at some of the delicious delights available there. His video has received a lot of interest online. As per his reel, the IKEA cafe at Pacific Mall seems to have several of the brand's standard food offerings, including sweet and savoury delicacies. There was a limited menu for the launch event, which featured cinnamon buns, spritzers, veggie hot dogs, chicken hot dogs, chicken meatballs, cheesecake and assorted vegetable chips. Arjun first tried the famous meatballs, which were topped with lingonberry jam. His honest verdict: "Juicy meatballs... the sweet jam is a little confusing. I think if you give it a chance, it really works." He also enjoyed the taste of the chicken hot dog, which he called "solid." He noted that the sausage used for it was juicy. Finally, it was time for him to sip the iconic lingonberry spritzer/soda drink. He had served it to himself earlier from the designated drink dispenser that IKEA is known to have. Arjun expressed his appreciation for the drink as it was not too sweet.

First IKEA store in Delhi serves up hot dogs and meatballs, with options for vegetarians too
Swedish furniture retailer IKEA is opening its first store in Delhi today, and the launch is expected to draw hundreds of visitors to Pacific Mall, Tagore Garden. Before the official opening, some content creators got the chance to step into the outlet for the iconic IKEA experience – including the food that has become synonymous with the furniture and home decor retailer. A glimpse of the food and drinks that customers can enjoy at IKEA Delhi (Instagram/@arjunmadan) 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. More about IKEA in India IKEA began retail operations in India in 2018.

From the iconic BILLY bookcase to the delicious Swedish meatballs and our Iconic hot dog, we've brought everything you love about IKEA right to your city,' he posted.
