    Chicken Tikka Tacos with Naan
    Prasanta A.

    We stopped in not too long ago on a weekend for lunch. First of all, there is ample parking and it's located right off the interstate, so it's very convenient. Once inside, I really liked the vibe. This is a spacious sports bar with plenty of different seating options indoors and it looks like an outdoor patio well (closed for the winter). The food is Mexican and Indian fusion, though some items are Indian only and some items are fusion. There are a few items ( the soups and salads) which don't seem to fit in either category; I'd suggest this is one area to improve the fusion offerings. Overall, though, the menu looks appealing and appetizing. Our server was fantastic; she was friendly and attentive and super kind. Kudos to her (and I'm kicking myself for not remembering her name). Folks of all ages were there, families, adults, couples, etc. We ordered guacamole chaat (who can resist chaat) as an appetizer and then ordered our main dishes. The guac chaat was pretty good, we enjoyed it, but it was also missing something, and I think it was because I couldn't taste the mint or tamarind chutney in the dish. I ordered the chicken tikka tacos with naan and it was delicious. The dipping sauces were good but it wasn't nearly enough - I ran out before finishing the three tacos (see from the photos). Otherwise, they were good-sized portions and a hearty meal. A dinner companion ordered the chicken tikka tacos with corn tortillas and we swapped to try the corn vs. the naan. For flavor, I preferred the naan. Another person ordered the lamb biryani which was flavorful, and another member of our group ordered butter chicken with naan. The butter chicken was nice and the naan was light and crispy. I sampled each item and each was tasty. There is so much I'd like to sample from this menu. I'll definitely return.

    Very good experience from the time we walked. Great host, great server Coco, great food!! Very spacious, and allows for talking at your table For appetizers we had the cauliflower and the wings, wow!!! So good, with great flavor. Main dishes were pork tamales, butter chicken pizza, chicken burrito, butter chicken bowl, and coconut Korma Enchilada with Beef Birria!! It was new for a few of us. And a good new experience. Let's try and visit again!!

    BUTTER CHICKEN PIZZA

    We started with the Honey Garlic Cauliflower appetizer and it was very good. The breading was very unique and crispy. Butter chicken pizza with extra sauce on the side is soo good.

    I've visited IVR Bar several times and realized I never submitted the review I wrote. I'm happy though because after several visits I have more qualities to cover. Warning this will be a long review as a result. My review does have a few recommendations based upon my experience and one negative in #5. 1. Food The food here has consistently been very good. One of our favorites is their butter chicken pizza served on naan bread. It comes with extra butter sauce for dipping, and the flavor and consistency is so good. The pizza is full of chicken and a nice amount of cheese. The only thing I'd recommend is serving the side of butter sauce hotter. It's always much cooler than the pizza, which I've experienced more than once. Their naan bread is always soft and fresh. We've tried both the garlic naan and cheesy naan and both are so good. Buffalo wings and birria tacos served on naan were all delicious. The meat was seasoned and the rice was very good as well. The honey garlic cauliflower appetizer is tasty but the portion is quite small for $14. You'll see the serving spoon in the photo for scale it shows how small the serving is. I think lowering the price could encourage more people to order it. For $14 you might as well get some wings or a 1 topping pizza! 2. Drinks They make excellent drinks. I've had multiple martinis here and have never been disappointed. My husband ordered a Hennessy sidecar that was also very good. I went for their Thursday ladies happy hour where martinis are $5. The only drawback is that only a few specific flavors are included: blueberry, apple, cosmopolitan, and dirty martinis. I had a pineapple lemon drop martini there and hoped to get it again for the happy hour price, but it wasn't included. I think it would help if they advertised which martinis are included in the happy hour promotion so customers know what to expect. 3. Service Service has always been good during my visits. I've never had a bad experience with the staff. The dark skinned host has seated my family several times and is always friendly and welcoming. We're always seated immediately because they're never busy when we go. 4. Atmosphere & Entertainment There's usually about 2-3 other parties in the dinning room and a few patrons at the bar when I've visited. The lighting is dim and the vibe is relaxed. They have plenty televisions throughout the dining room and bar. The dining room has a 4 way TV in the center. If you're into sports they don't miss. They also have a few slot machines near the bar. 5. Cleanliness Overall cleanliness has been acceptable, but there are a few things that could be improved. I have noticed gnats on multiple visits. It's not a swarm but they are noticeable. More so this time with multiple sweet martinis at our table. With them using fresh fruit and syrups for cocktails, I imagine that isn't helping. The bathrooms appear to have been updated and look nice. There wasn't any odor, but the trash can could have been emptied or pushed down. 6. Menu & Communication One area where they could improve is marketing. Their website and social media advertise events or specials without explaining the details. For example, the flyer in my photos show tacos and tequilas night. With flight of tequila samples and tacos for $65/person. How many tacos and tequila samples does one get? How much tequila per sample? What would I be paying for? More social media presence, photos of their food in the happy hour posts and more details of specials would bring in more customers. I'm a Yelp and social media lady! I do a little research before deciding on new spots. I'm not scrolling through 20 posts a restaurant shares to get to food videos or images. I expect the to grab my attention immediately. It's so close to many big offices, factories, and various businesses. They should be busy always. I've seen multiple restaurants come and go in this same building over the last 12 years. I'm hopeful they'll be more present to increase their customer base. Another improvement would be adding more vegan options. When I was avoiding meat and dairy earlier this year, I noticed they listed the Garlic honey cauliflower online as vegan but it was labeled vegetarian on the menu on the table, which could be confusing for someone strictly following a vegan diet. 7. Loyalty Program One thing they do very well is their rewards system. They track points through your credit card, and we've received $5 off simply from returning. That's a great feature that more locally owned restaurants could learn from. So you're wondering if I would go back? Yes, I plan on it. Although I'm hopeful they consider my recommendations. Would I recommend it? Yes the food is good! The service is good! I've never had to wait! If you've never tried Indian food before this is a great place to start. They serve familiar foods with Indian flavors which may be helpful with easing in.

    You need to check this place out if you like great flavors! Been here twice now and will definitely keep this spot in the rotation of regular places to frequent. The Indian inspired dishes are delicious. Even though it's a fusion spot, the flavors are authentic and the Indian and Mexican cuisines work well together. The fusion food was ok, but what really stood out were the Indian dishes. Wings were standard, favorite sauce was the Buffalo Manchurian. The chicken naan nachos were good. Ask for some hot sauce on the side. The butter chicken was delicious. All this was plenty of food for two adults and made for a nice meal later. Come try the food, and enjoy the great service! The waitstaff has been nothing but excellent both visits! Look forward to coming back!

    CHICKEN NAAN NACHOS

    Ive eaten here twice and both times got the Chicken Naan Nachos. They dont look that great, but they taste so good! The first time we came as a large group on the weekend, with no reservation, as our basketball team was staying in the Holiday Inn behind it and they accommodated us with the back room. Everyone loved their food, which says a lot for a bunch of kids to enjoy this type of out of the box menu. Only negative thing I would have to say is that the drinks were very expensive for how small they were.

    I drive by IVR daily on my way to work, and finally stopped in. My friend and I split the cauliflower app and the butter chicken pizza. We loved it! The cauliflower was perfectly crispy and the inside was not mushy! The sauce that came with the pizza was also very good. The naan crust was probably my favorite part, if we had been hungrier we would have ordered naan separately as well. Lots of items on the menu were appealing so we'll definitely be back. Only thing not enjoyed was the pistachio espresso martini, not terrible but very little pistachio flavor.

    CHEESEY GARLIC NAAN
    William R.

    Went here for lunch to give it a try. We ended up sticking to the starters this time around. The highlights being the shrimp and the sauce that came with the cheesy garlic naan. The samosa had an interesting flavor within the pastry but gets hidden when you add either the tamarind sauce (sweet) or cilantro sauce (spicy). Service was good but it looked like they had one person as the hostess and waitress, so when the lunch rush hits it could slow down.

    This is one of the easiest 5 stars I've given out in awhile. This place is fantastic! I'm so happy we gave it a shot. The service was attentive and friendly, from being seated, to served, to being checked on. My wife and I each got two drinks and all of them were excellent. Really nice mixes of ingredients that fused together perfectly. And the food! We got an appetizer and two entrees (and took plenty home). The guacamole chaat was a great spin on the Mexican classic. I was particularly excited to try the butter chicken pizza on naan crust. I've long been on a hunt for butter chicken pizza and found a winner! The lamb biryani was great too. The fusion going on between Italian, Mexican and Indian all works. I'm telling you -- run, do not walk, to this place and give it a try!

    IVR BAR is a fresh take on ethnic fusion and cocktails. Previously home to the point burger bar, this revamped location is a great new beginning for the spot. They are very well staffed with a pleasant crew. I came in for a late lunch and had boneless wings with Buffalo maharaja sauce. The chicken was done well and I enjoyed the subtle hint of Indian undertones. The provided ranch sauce was also very good and I think made in house! The bar as well appointed with whiskey, wine, and tequila along with some pretty general beers . This certainly would not be considered a beer bar, but more of a cocktail and spirits kind of deal. I am excited to see someone making great use of the space and look forward to returning to try many more things on the fun menu .

    This was our first time here. We like the bar vibe with cultural food. We got the tikka bowl with lamb and the butter chicken. Both were very good. I got mild because I can't handle spice well. My husband likes spicy food so he got the medium but felt like he could have went hotter. Service was good and polite. We would come back.

    BUTTER CHICKEN PIZZA
    Paige F.

    I was passing through the area and didn't have time to dine in but have been wanting to try for a while so I did a pick up order, the order was ready exactly when I was told to pick up, the lady on the phone was super friendly and helpful. Now for the food, we got the butter chicken pizza and Oh my goodness, I've never had anything like it before but it was SO good and SO tasty. I had the naan crust & the sauce that came with it on the side for me to dip my pizza in made it 10x better. I give this pizza a 10/10 and now I am ready to come back and try their other food ! I love how different this is since I've been getting bored of the same stuff to eat, I'll be back !

    Delicious! This fusion restaurant was pleasantly amazing! The entire staff was extremely nice to us from start to end! They started off the dinner experience by providing a brief history of the restaurant and going over thr most popular dishes. The dishes is a fusion of numerous cultures with Indian style food! And it was really well thought out and was absolutely delicious! And would highly recommend! The venue itself was very nice as it's only been open for a few months!

I ate it one minute after walking out and you could tell it was sitting around for awhile because the cheese had no pull and it was solidifying. It did look good with that thin cracker crust and reminded me of when I lived in Chicago we would order this style of pizza to the bar. The pizza had a nice thin cracker crust. The sauce was on the sweet side. The Italian sausage was the star because it was the quintessential perfect pizza sausage and seasoned nicely like a good Italian sausage. The pizza was still good and delicious but fresh out of the oven would the way to go. Overall if the pizza was fresh out of the oven and you sat in the restaurant is the way to go in my opinion.

The only complaint i can offer is that our server was not as attentive as you'd want. It wasn't bad service; just not as prompt as you'd expect (i.e. asked how our food was as we were halfway through the dish, we finished our cocktails and were never asked if we wanted another, empty plates sat on the table a bit longer than they should). None of which will keep us from coming back. Will chalk it up to a busy Saturday first seating.
