"The Ivory is truly an icon of Winnipeg. The food, decor, ambience, and service that makes you feel like you're family, are simply addictive! Such genuine, humble, and honest people! They manage to blend this with a sort of elegant Indian aesthetic that you simply don't see in many other restaurants."

"My colleagues and I almost accidentally stumbled upon this excellent Indian restaurant during a business trip and we actually went twice! The buffet is varied and each dish is delicious and obviously prepared with great care. Prices are very reasonable and service is with a smile!"

"We ordered takeout from Ivory. The order was ready on time and the hostess was very friendly. All of the dishes were excellent and the butter chicken was probably the best I've had in Winnipeg. I thought the price was also very reasonable for the amount of food."
