Very nice food, I can't complain! I found it a little tricky to determine how hot a curry was going to be from the menu. But thats if I had to nitpick.

The flavours at The Elephant were an absolute delight for my taste buds. Every dish I tried showcased a perfect balance of spices, highlighting the true essence of Indian cuisine. The freshness of the ingredients used was evident, adding that extra touch of excellence to each plate. Whether it was the aromatic biryanis, flavorful curries, or the crispy and delicious naans, every bite transported me to culinary nirvana. What sets The Elephant apart is its wide variety of dishes.

I really enjoy coming here for meals; it’s quite a trek from where we live, otherwise we’d come here more often It’s always deceptively busy, which is a great sign The staff are really friendly, the food is great and there’s always a good atmosphere
