   A good place to experience Thai cuisine! Delivers a refined and immersive Thai dining experience. From its carved interiors to its thoughtful service and expansive menu, it offers a solid choice for both special occasions and casual meals. While some may find it on the pricier side or less bold in flavour, many patrons praise its atmosphere, service, and overall culinary quality.

   Absolutely delicious food and a gorgeous setting. The flavors are fresh and balanced, and the presentation is lovely. There is a large selection of dishes, with plenty for vegetarians. The service was excellent as well. I highly recommend and will return.

   It was our first time visiting the restaurant, but we'll definitely go back. The food was delicious - we had the papaya salad and the southern Thai curry. We also had desserts; the mango mousse is a must try. The service was excellent and fast. The portions were a bit smaller for the price but the quality makes up for it.

   We came here as a group, and everyone was very pleased with the food. First of all, the food arrived very quickly. They had a big selection of Thai food that was suitable for everyone, including vegan options. They also offer a few Thai drink choices, I tried the lager which was good and it arrived ice cold, just the way I prefer. If I remember the name correctly, I ordered Neua Gata, which was delicious. And I really enjoyed the presentation of the food, when it arrived they bring it in a way that it remains hot even sizzling a bit. I definitely recommend this place.

   Best decoration ever seen in the UK, loads of hand crafted wood and tropical plants. Nice food but little bit small portion.

   We had been there couple of times with family including young kids. The food is great and the staff is very friendly, very attentive. If you want a quiet room, especially if you have a young kid. There are some alcove rooms downstairs that are just perfect. We sat in one last time and it was great for our 5 year old so she could have her own space, do her drawings peacefully. We had a great time, and the food was so tasty very well presented. Highly recommend.

   In short I would say it's one of, if not the best place in Leamington Spa for an incredible Gluten-free meal and dining experience. The Thai elephant is one of the places I've been meaning to go to for ages and I'm kicking myself now for not going in sooner. It looks amazing even from the outside but wow, it's absolutely stunning inside, especially if you have an appreciation for fine woodwork/ furniture making. Of corse i did not go in to just to look at the decor but it's definitely mention worthy. We went in for lunch yesterday, I asked at the front if they catered for allergies as i have a few and need to be especially careful to avoid gluten (inc cross contamination). They were so helpful, they looked through the menu and checked with the kitchen and told me i had quite a few options so we took a seat. There were quite a few options, more than I had even hoped for so to make things easier we had a look at the lunchtime set menu specials and again i wasn't disappointed with gluten free, vegan and vegetarian options. The satay starters were so deliciously moreish, beautifully marinated succulent skewers of creamy peanutty heaven cooked to perfection, I could easily of eaten them a few times over. For a starter of a set menu (under £15 for 2 corses), it was fantastic and a decent portion. For mains we had the sweet and sour chicken and the Thai green curry, both came with a bowl of steamed rice. They were both simply delicious. Now I do love sweet and sour in most of it's glorious forms so this was an easy choice for me and again it didn't disappoint. It had everything you'd expect, very flavoursome but also very light and delicate. I think it's great that they served our food in the middle of the table as it was easier to try both dishes and I'm so happy i did. The Thai green curry was incredibly delicious, deep, rich, fresh, light, aromatic and creamy with a pleasant amount of spiciness. Again very moreish and decent portion sizes. We finished everything and left feeling happy and satiated. There was no service charge added to the bill, though prosecco and I did leave a nice, well deserved tip. From the moment we stepped in there the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The music is mellow, the atmosphere is lovely, it's clean and well kept and has lots of lovely plants that must take some looking after. It seems really well run, even the little touches like the plates were warm and the glasses were chilled are very much appreciated. I thoroughly enjoyed everything about dining at the Thai elephant and will most definitely and unsurprisingly, be returning.

   This restaurant is incredible. Everyone needs to visit for lunch just for the incredible decor. The food was also fantastic and very well presented with very nicely cut veg… The staff were always willing to be available to assist and answer any questions, including customs if you wish to dine as a Thai. I could spend hours just looking over the tables and wall carvings. All hand done in Thailand. Prices for lunch were very reasonable.
