Get #Imlyfied at "IMLY" - A new Food train with Street Food of India .

Imly- The food train with Indian street food


When the world is talking about Food Trucks as new food concept, this duo team of friends , Varun Puri and Vivek Bhargava have come up with a huge 250 feet long train with street food of India . "Imly Express" , stationed permanently at Hog Market of Rajendra Place , it is a four compartment train with the Engine as its Kitchen.  Varun and Vivek have curated best street foods from various part of Indian States. I must tell my readers that , this is the first restaurant who is associated with CRY ( an NGO for underprivileged children) and had invited 100 CRY children as special guest on their first day of their inauguration.

CRY children as special guest at Imly

According to Vivek Bhargav , "Imly" came into their mind when they were checking a menu at a restaurant in Pune and found the price of dishes  very high . Sitting at the restaurant itself , both Varun and Vivek planned to open a pocket friendly outlet which can later  be a chain in all over India. After coming back to Delhi, both friends planned and designed it into "Imly" with affordable street food of India under one roof . 

Talking about the ambiance , it is simple and beautifully done .  As you enter, you will feel as if you have entered into an air conditioned luxury train  with LCD Screens giving special affects of moving train. Each art pieces had been handpicked by these two friends and minutely decorated to give a look of a British era train. There is a huge Juice Bar at the centre of the train with boys wearing attractive Blue-Pink Ts . 








About their Food ...I had been a part of their special event with CRY  but I was little skeptical with their food quality with the low price . Although on the inauguration day , I did try their Bedmi Poori, and  Vada Pao but in my mind I wanted to check their consistency .  So Yesterday ( 2nd  Nov'15) I planned to revisit Imly with my sisters and a friend with  their children . Another reason to visit was, it is very attractive for children , hence I wanted to bring four of my nephews to show them the huge  red coloured Train .
As we settled down we were served a complimentary snack " Sev Poori" , I thanked God as the children liked the dish and they settled down decently into the leather couches . 
Their Menu is huge with almost 100 dishes with traditional Street Food of India , few fusion dishes of Chef's special and Indo-Chinese flavoured dishes under the section of "Chinjabi" ( Not to get confuse, Chinjabi is a blend of Chinese dishes with Punjabi flavor ) . After checking their menu and discussing with our Monkey brigade , we ordered Pao Bhaji , Puchka , North Indian Thali , Choley Bhature  Bhel puri, Sandwiches , Amuse Bouche( dahi puchka ) , Noodles and Fried rice  with fresh Pineapple juice , fresh lime soda , two mocktails - Sunset and Relaxing morning which is a blend of fresh fruit juices and veg - fruit juice .  All the dishes had distinct flavour . From the North Indian Thali with Makai-Palak, Gulab Jamun, Gobhi- aloo subzi, raita , my taste buds are still tingling with the taste of Makai-Palak.  Normally I avoid Chinjabi Noodles as it contains lots of vinegar and soy but out here at Imly, noodles were well balanced with flavours . As we were full , we could not order anything from Dessert section . But yes , I had Jalebi , Gulab Jamun and Malpua with Rabri on their inauguration day . I was told that all the sweets are prepared inhouse by their special Halwai . 

They served us Fresh lime soda in this .

Talking about their service , it is quick with educated servers who are fully aware of the menu and dishes . 
We almost spent more than 2 hours at Imly and were not feeling like to come back . After paying  a bill of 1365/- ( four adults and four kids) , we came back with full satisfaction and a promise to go back again to try rest of their dishes .
