    This was the chocolate mousse pudding

    The food was amazing. The two times that I've been here the service is beyond exceptional. The ambience is perfect.

    ROSARIO S. CASSATA AT THE PURPLE ELEPHANT IN NORTHPORT LONG ISLAND.
    Rosario S. C.

    The Purple Elephant is a vegan restaurant located in Northport. The Thai Tofu Wrap with Chicken was what I ate. It tasted amazing. There is a small bar inside, and you truly pass a purple elephant as you enter. There is sitting both outside and indoors. Featuring a 45-s record wall and vibrant colors, the theme is somewhat eclectic. There are a lot of options for all tastes.

    I love this place!!! We don't have an overwhelming amount of options for healthy food on Long Island and this place has both vegan and non vegan options. Everything is so clean and made so well with care and intention. I've had a lot of things off the menu, but I just had the asada burrito for the first time, flautas and my husband got the grain bowl. So satisfying and delicious !!

    Our Most Excellent Nachos

    I came here for lunch with my boyfriend and had a positive experience! First off, the views are gorgeous from this restaurant. You can sit indoors or outdoors. We shared two appetizers , the buffalo cauliflower and our most excellent nachos. The buffalo cauliflower is the best I've ever had. Such a big portion and it wasn't too soggy. It was crispy and the sauce was delicious. As for the nachos, I was blown away. You couldn't really tell that it was made with vegan cheese. It had so much flavor from all the toppings. This is a spot that is perfect for everyone, no matter the dietary restriction. I will definitely be back!

    Between the food and service the experience was worth every penny for this hidden gem. Came here with my son for a nice lunch and we were seated immediately. Food came out quick and the waiter was very sweet and accommodating to my picky 5 year old eater. I love that their menu has so many healthy alternatives. Looking forward to the next lunch date

    PERFECT view, WONDERFUL food, GREAT service... What more could you possibly want?? That they open another location here in Ohiooooo, YES!!! Delicious, creative mix of Asian and L. American choices, definitely something for everyone, PLENTY of veg/meat options!! We shared the yuca fries with curtido, my sister had a Nicoya o'boya wrap, I had a rayong curry bowl, and my friend had a sweet potato vegan bowl. Service was great, EVERYTHING was delicious, and I wish I could go back again tomorrow!! Wonderful choice in the Huntington/Northport area!!!

    The purple elephant continues to be a great choice for lunch. Surfers bowl with curry is always delicious.

    Gonzo surfer bowl

    Solid meals. Healthy, tasty ingredients, fairly priced, good service and nice views on the back deck. I had the Gonzo surfer bowl and kicked ass despite the 95 degree weather. Only downside is the drinks are sub par and over priced.

    I've always driven past this restaurant and was so glad to have tried it! The decor is so cute outside and it's right on the water which makes it such a pretty place for lunch or dinner! The food came quickly and was really good overall! The cauliflower app was delicious and so were the entrees. I think some of the flavors tasted kinda similar across the different options but it was still enjoyable overall!

    I had heard from many people that The Purple Elephant is a great restaurant with lots of vegan and vegetarian options. Couldn't wait to go. It absolutely lived up to its great reputation. I love the ambiance; it felt like visiting a friend's home, rather than just another restaurant. The food was incredibly good. It's really hard to find good vegan options when going out to eat on Long Island, and this menu had so many choices. My family eats meat, and they all found great options too. In addition to the best food that I've had in a long time, the service was excellent. Staff was warm and welcoming, food was out in no time, and they were attentive through the entire experience. I highly recommend the pasta with pesto and "chicken." The nachos were a great appetizer that my entire family enjoyed. Drinks were yummy too. I can't wait to go back!

    Is there cross-contamination for the gluten-free entrees?

    Hi Wendy, thanks for asking this! When we are made aware of a gluten allergy, we are very cautious to avoid cross-contamination. We do have gluten in our facility, and for years have a dedicated customer base that includes people with many… Read more

    Since my review of a disappointing first experience at Birdie Bar, I have returned quite a few…read moretimes (largely because there aren't many options in area and the ease of parking), and have found some dishes to be excellent. This includes the olive oil cake, bbq pulled pork nachos, crispy Brussel sprouts, smash burger (although not consistent in size), and chicken picante. The restaurant is relatively new (just reached third year anniversary), so perhaps the kitchen needed more time to prepare dishes more consistently. For the most part the food now matches the social media hype. TIP: Others have recently noted slow service, incorrect orders. I have been visiting at the start of dinner service, and have not encountered this, so some of these issues may potentially be avoided by arriving before inexperienced service staff are overwhelmed. Most people will be seated on second floor which requires walking up a staircase. If special accommodation is needed I suggest informing restaurant in advance. There is some seating downstairs, but depending of time and day this area (bar) can get uncomfortably loud.

    As always, the food was terrific. I enjoyed the prime rib grilled cheese with curly fries…read more Absolutely delicious. My daughter enjoyed the steak burrito, which was also delicious. The cocktails were great, and as always the service was spot on. Miranda was terrific!

It comes in a giant plastic bowl, with a great mix of spinach, arugula, and romaine lettuce. On top sit two perfectly hard boiled eggs, half a ripe avocado, halved grape tomatoes, feta cheese, pomegranate seeds, and sunflower seeds. Also... the dressing is so good... really fresh and binds the whole thing together. I'm totally coming back to get this again!! They have a bunch of refrigerated cases with fresh fruit salads, chobani yogurt cups, and drinks that would be great for a picnic in the park. In the deli case they have a whole bunch of cold salads... chicken, egg, tuna, and a yummy looking chickpea salad that I want to try next time. According to the man working behind the counter, they opened yesterday (5/26) and are still printing out labels and menus. The whole family was helping out and welcomed me with a smile. I'm glad that this place is fulfilling that deli niche in the tradition of the northport harbor delicatessen, just with an updated and fresher take on the same classics. I'm so excited to come back for more!
