I called to make a reservation earlier in the day as I wasn't sure they'd be able to accommodate our group of 8 which included my 98 year old grandad who requires a walker. No problem! They also held my son's birthday cake in the back and brought it out as a surprise. I definitely would go back. Too bad we live in the US. My NZ family will be going back for more delicious food!

There's a reason why people recommend it: whether it's the moody, Eastern ambience, the great service or the mouth-watering dishes, The Elephant is really a great place to eat. Especially at lunch time when you can try your favourite dishes without having to worry about breaking the bank. I especially like the elephant theme going on - seriously a great idea! Give this place a try sometime if you're out in Howick for the afternoon.

Their so called manager/waiter had no patience, the minute we walked in, he was super rude, and when we tried to place an order and tried to ask a few questions about the menu, he said "JUST GIVE ME THE NUMBER". It was a disgusting experience. They rip customers off by serving small portions after you purchase a MAIN. They said a drink was included in their lunch deal but forget to mention its only for a soft drink, when we asked for drinks menu he said I'm telling you YOU CAN ONLY GET A SOFT DRINK. Don't go here, they ruined a special day for us. They also deleted our online review on their site.

I've tried their yellow chicken curry which wasn't pretty tasty, but my favourite was their Three Spiced Chicken which was delicious! I love trying anything that's a little spicy and this dish had a prefect combination or tangy, spicy and sweet. For $2 you can add all-you-can-eat jasmine rice to your meal, which makes any Thai meal even more satisfying. I also recommend their fried rice and Pad Thai noodles (they are both mild), some great, simple and satisfying picks.

The service was good, but the waitress seemed a bit grumpy. She didn't smile at all the whole time we were there. Sort of made you want to leave in a hurry. No offerings for dessert or coffee.

Of course the advantage of its location is that there's tonnes of parking. I've been here a couple of times and the food has always been good, not outstanding, but definitely good quality. The prices are a little steep though, considering that there isn't really anything especially stand-out about it (at least not for me, and I'm not expert on Thai food, I just know what I like). The service is really lovely though, and it would be worth a look for lunch, which I've never tried here. Hopefully you'd get the same quality food at a slightly more reasonable price.
