One very good reason to go down to Victoria Park Market is to have a wonderful Indian meal.
iVillage has been around for eight years and is run by the effervescent Dimple and her team. iVillage is celebrating its 8th birthday and the team are humbled by, and thankful for the continued support of the local community.
iVillage is enveloped by warm brick and copper and situated in a corner position in Victoria Park Market right by the historical chimney. Trendy outside seating by the chimney and views of the Sky Tower beckon pleasant days and nights in beautiful surrounds complemented by a warm and friendly service.
Traditional, authentic Indian cuisine is made from scratch with no artificial colours or flavouring and all dietary requirements can be catered for. You can begin with the popular ibullets and chaat (delicious street food). From the tandoor, come the beautifully presented chicken trio, gilafi seekh kebabs and mahi fish tikka to name a few entrees to tantalise your taste buds. These could be accompanied by the specially brewed ibeer, or one of the many boutique wines or distinctive cocktails from the bar.
The house specialities include birbali nalli (whole lamb shank curry), tandoori snapper and the chef’s special paneer for vegetarians. The goat curry is a must-try too, along with the bursting flavours of the dum biryani - beautifully flavoured rice and meat layered and cooked in a flaky crust.
There are plenty of other mouth-watering options to suit all tastes. The accompaniments include an assortment of fresh fluffy naans straight from the tandoor, from plain, chilli garlic to the special Peshawari naan and the hard-to-find rumali roti. The saffron and mango pistachio kulfi is a popular dessert note to finish on.
iVillage is a great spot for office lunches, parties and celebrations, and there are special menu options to cater to your needs. Get in touch with the team to discuss options for a truly memorable event.
