Yum yum yum. This little restaurant in parnell has an amazing vibe and the best food! We had a big party here for my friend and it was such a nice place to get together with everybody. We got a range of things from the menu that i’ve captioned in each of my photos but my favourite has got to be the almond chicken curry which was crunchy and so flavourful. The waiters were so kind and welcoming even when we took a while to choose. The only downside to this place is the space as it was a bit squishy for us. Overall amazing place and delicious food!!
Love the food and all the dishes we ordered. Had to wait a little bit to be seated after we had booked our reservation because it was super busy. But it was totally worth it. The service is splendid and the staffs are super friendly.
the food is really tasty and authentic. Except the restaurant is quite small, everything I have ordered is perfect.
The best Thai restaurant I’ve ever been to. The food is so delicious and the staff are just amazing with their beautiful silk outfit. The atmosphere great and definitely value for money. Will definitely go again on my next visit to Auckland. Highly recommended!
First time here and it was amazing! Staff were friendly and accommodating, great atmosphere.I was surprised by the quality and quantity of the food! it was more than I expected. Very fresh ingredients and seafood, authentic Thai and so good. Definitely come back again
The Blue Elephant is a must visit.
I brought my family here for dinner, and we all enjoyed!
I would recommend booking prior, as they can get quite busy and sometimes take slightly longer to attend your tables.
Nonetheless, the waitresses are very friendly and helpful.
I got the red curry - which was a 7/10 , only as I believe it could’ve had much more meat. Overall it was still food. I was given the green curry by mistake and the waitress quickly corrected it! :)
The lamb massaman -8/10. Fantastic dish.
Again, it just needed more meat.
I cannot remember the seafood dish name, it was fried though(see video below) - but I would 11/10 recommend this dish!
Located in the most cosiest spot in Parnell, which makes it amazing.
Would visit again.
Thanks Blue 🐘💙
Blue Elephant Thai Restaurant is a must-visit spot in Auckland City for vegans and vegetarians looking for delicious Thai food. The welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff made me feel right at home, and the menu offered a variety of vegan/vegetarian options.
The Tom Yum soup with tofu & the Red Penang Curry with was bursting with flavors. Pad thai was perfectly cooked rice noodles and a balance of savory flavors. The dish was beautifully presented and a standout dish, making it a must-try for anyone visiting the restaurant.
With its cozy ambiance and knowledgeable staff, dining Blue Elephant was a delightful experience. For anyone searching for delicious vegan Thai food in Auckland City, I would highly recommend it.
This little restaurant punches above its weight. The shared platter for two was absolutely delicious and the lady that served us took the time to explain the different flavours. The meal was above expectations. Thoroughly recommend. In particular, the seafood dishes that were cooked to perfection. Thank you for a lovely evening.
Had chicken satay skewers and lamb massaman curry.
The chicken was tender, the satay sauce was delicious, plenty in 1 serving so really good to share between 2ppl.
The lamb curry was great tender fall apart lamb, looks small but actually better to share between 2.
We were a group of 3, service was great and attentive, we had drinks while waiting for entrees which were nicely done.
Just a great night out, good atmosphere. I've been a few times over the years and never had any complains (well besides overeating but I can't even fault them on that! 😉)
Edit 2022-11-29: went again tonight and we all loved the food, the service and the whole experience. Definitely will be back!
Great hospitality, great portions worth the price range.
