Thai Elephant - Leamington Spa in Warwick

Absolutely perfect. From the moment we opened the and walked in to when we left.

nice place but 4.5 pounds for a bowl of white rice felt diabolical. green curry with rice was 18.5 pounds

Tasty authentic Thai food, well served by attentive staff. The decor , plants and furnishings are fabulous . The lunch set menu is very good value for money

Great food and lovely, attentive service.

Equisite atmosphere, exquisite food. Even without a reservation, they graciously accomodated me. Can't recommend enough.

After finding ourselves in Tartine bar, we soon realized our mistake; and promptly made a hasty exit. Along the street we went, and the sight of the Thai Elephant was plain to see. We were sat in the window, and I have to say it was very good. (much better than tapas!)

The one time I ate here I found the food okay, but very far from the best Thai food I had had. The second time I made a reservation and explicitly asked for a nice table as it was a birthday celebration. When we arrived for dinner, all tables were taken in spite of my name in the reservation book. Then they promised us a special table in a few minutes. It turned out to be a table in the basement, in an area that used to be the coal repository, with the ceiling so low that it was impossible to stand. We refused. Imagine the birthday. There are at least three amazing restaurants within 20 m of this place. Just go there.

Before I start I must say Thai Elephant is one of my top three favourite places to eat but sadly as it seems to be with several other restaurants nowadays the standards are slipping. I ordered a takeaway banquet meal for two the rice was cold and portion size reduced the starters were luke warm and there was only one prawn and one piece of squid in two of the dishes ordered plenty of chicken but it was rubbery and the overall usual flavour and high level of cooking and care has definitely fallen. This is the first poor meal we’ve had it was very underwhelming and disappointing but it seems to have coincided with the price hike on everything in England since we can out of lockdown. Imo when it comes to food and especially when you are paying for it the standards must be kept. Sadly I cannot justify spending my hard earned money there again.

Thanks for the calm atmosphere! The food was very tasty, the service was pleasant and the recommended park to visit was fabulous.

It has been a long time since I visited this restaurant and my husband had never been. We are both vegetarian (we do eat bivalves). We had the vegetable spring rolls and deep fried been curd for starters. It all looked a little beige and although they were well cooked, both dishes were lacking a little bit of flavour. For mains we had the drunken scallops and scallops with mushrooms in black bean sauce. We also had the mixed vegetables in oyster sauce. We both enjoyed the side of vegetables and I much preferred the drunken scallops which were delicious and not as spicy as I thought they’d be. The scallops were good quality and cooked well. Desserts were not a bad price and were fine. Overall, an okay meal but I was surprised that it wasn’t more flavoursome as we love Thai food and it seemed a little flat, almost like it’s been adapted to a British market rather then being totally authentic. The staff were lovely and service was great. We were sat close to the door and so every time it was opened we had a cool breeze – it was August but a cool night! Overall, pleasant but a little underwhelming and not as good as the last time I was there.

Had the giant thai river prawns and coconut rice and I really enjoyed them, wanted something different for dinner and had a bad meal at sabai sabai a few weeks before so was very happy to get a more authentic Thai meal, served by a lovely hostess, everything you want when you leat out at a restaurant 👌

Fabulous Thai food and exceptional service. We had the vegetable red curry and vegetable massaman curry with coconut rice all rich and delicious.

Excellent food, quick and really friendly service!

The first and only time, the food was small, the price was very expensive, and the taste was average. Not impressed with the service

Wonderful restaurant, great food, excellent service. Loved the whole evening, thank you 😎

really nice thai place, enjoyed the food

Quaint and lovely spot. Loved the wood carvings throughout. Food was excellent and very fast receipt upon ordering!

Called in - no booking as we were visiting the area. Service very attentive, great food, made us feel very welcome. Enjoyed our meal. Had starters and mains and would recommend.

great experience of delicious Thai food. excellent service.

Loved the food and ambience. However, it's a bit pricey for the quantity.

An excellent Thai restaurant with a top level service. Decorated in a Thai manner, this restaurant serves typical dishes, full of flavors, that reminded me my trip to Thailand.

Very nice family run restaurant.

Had a family meal for our daughters birthday. Food was great, we had banquet A which was good and the deserts very nice. Thanks for another nice meal.

Amazing Thai food in the centre of Leamington Spa!

A great spot again recommended by our receptionist. We love a good authentic Thai place and this didn’t disappoint. Would highly recommend

Tasty, excellent food, kind, understanding and super helpful staff. I should say huge thank you for everything. I recommend.

Sadly my favourite and the most authentic Thai restaurant is no longer open so I came to the Thai elephant, I had heard bad reviews but thought I’d try it for myself. Wish I had saved the £100 and bought a Thai ready meal from the supermarket. Where’s the Thai food?? Starting with spring rolls, really disappointing taste like value spring rolls cooked in dirty oil, radish flower decorations looked like seem better days and obviously been out on many dishes previously. I’ve never had Tom yum with zero chilli?? taste was so bland. Then came Green curry water again no heat of chilli very bland. Terrible don’t waste your money!

We turned up without a booking and a table was found. Great food. Great service. Would definitely go again.

The best Thai in town. Been here couple of times, always high quality hearty food and a relaxing atmosphere.

I haven't been to the Thai elephant in years ! But what a lovely rediscovery! The service was really good , the food was tasty. We tried both banquet menus for the 4 of us , and we all enjoyed it. The food isn't too spicy, and the portions are correct. Will definitely come back.

Thai food was ok but very very expensive and £8 for a bottle of singha beer! …..

Been several times and always have the chicken spring rolls and pad Thai with chicken and prawns, can’t fault it. On going with others they’ve had a variety of dishes and really enjoyed them. Beautiful setting as well, unique and lovely. Friendly staff. A little pricey would be my only criticism

Would have been 10/10. The attendant was accommodating and nice. Restaurant is cozy. Their food is delish (pad thai and fried rice and Larb. However, pork larb that was served to me (take out) seemed like the meat had gone bad already. Some parts of it had the distinct smell and taste. I hope they check before serving next time!

Delicious food, a cosy and authentic atmosphere and excellent service! We would definitely come back here again - the staff were very friendly and attentive, and the food was very rich and tasty! It is, however, a bit expensive - mains cost around £16 (and you have to order sundries like rice separately, for an additional £5), and starters are around £12.

Very popular in the evenings, but quiet on a Tuesday lunchtime and an excellent value lunch offer. I enjoyed the Thai chicken soup and then had a curry, also excellent. Prompt service.

Excellent choice of fresh dishes, and value for money. All enjoyed in wonderfully detailed and immaculate premises.

Absolutely authentic Thai food, service was polite and friendly,, decor was lovely kungle curry was hot and fragrant, everything that we look for from a proper thai restaurant. We would return if we were in the local area. Recommend for a lovely evening and well priced.

Amazing place ,delicious food. I had a drunken duck... Highly recommended.

Beautiful food , staff very good & quick with drinks nothing too much trouble for them . we went for grandsons 8th birthday & they even put a candle in his dessert 🍨 which was a lovely gesture .

Had a nice meal there today. Got the hot and spicy set menu. I'd say the beef was a decent bit spicy but otherwise most the meals not too spicy at all (for better or worse). Food was tasty though. Good service keep the water topped up. Not the cheapest but did enjoy the meal.

Delicious, especially the main courses, they were exceptional. Would thoroughly recommend.

This is our favourite restaurant and we tend to go here on special occasions. Feb 14th we were rushed in and out, the food nowhere near its normal standard and had obviously been microwaved as hotter than lava. The mussels were brown, they fell apart and inedible. Really disappointed as it’s normally very, very good. We went for a valentines meal and were in and out within 40 minutes. We are going to avoid in the future due to this experience and find somewhere else.

What a great place. The staff are so friendly and hospitable, the food is delicious. We turned up early on a Saturday evening and they managed to fit us in without a booking, but would recommend booking a table in advance as it did start to get really busy. I would defiantly recommend this place, and can’t wait to go back.

Lovely ambience, excellent service and vegeterian food was good.

Rare date night with the wife and we came here because we'd heard how good it was. Not disappointed, the food was excellent. Lots of choice and when it came out it was fresh with great flavours. Service from welcome at door all the way through was excellent. Only criticism is all the pictures in the menu felt a little Costa del sol somehow but that aside the surroundings and atmosphere was very pleasant.

I went there for dinner last week. The first impression was really good, with impressive decoration and really good attention to detail by the staff. Once the atmosphere is set up, the food was really good, hard to choose from the varied menu. The waitress was very helpful with suggestions. The food was served with some bases to keep it warm, helping to enjoy at your own pace. The quality of it was great, even the rice on its own was really good. The only small drawback I found was that the dishes were a little scarce in its protein amount (chicken/beef). We spent just under £20 per person but with only mains and no drinks. I look forward to go again.

Excellent food - satay starter chicken nicely cooked with tasty sauce .Main courses likewise very tasty and sufficient.Friendly service in attractive surroundings

A lovely meal in a lovely venue in the heart of Leamington Spa. Extremely polite and helpful staff in a restaurant full of ambience and attention to detail. The food was superb.

Lovely food. Just happened to go on a quiet night. Would go again. 👍

Nice place...Nice food...very expensive.

Went for a meal while in area for weekend. We were put in a private room downstairs which we loved. The food was exceptional and so was the service would highly recommend

Good place. Excellent service. Would recommend.

Great experience. They were able to accommodate us even though they were busy and we were just walk ins. Food is delicious and authentic. The chicken and beef is halal which was an added bonus. Thank you for the hospitality!

It's a great atmosphere here. The decor is really something. However, for the prices these guys are charging, the food doesn't quite cut it for me. The portion sizes are also small so you feel a bit hard done by when the bill comes. I ordered a pad Thai but it was a few mouthfuls of food and for close to 15 quid, it seems a bit stingy. There were more bean sprouts than noodles and I couldn't see the peanut garnish which you'd expect with this dish. Instead, they give you a very nicely presented salad garnish but it wasn't dressed, and looked and tasted like it had been prepped well in advance; dry and flavourless. I was also shocked to see that the two beers I ordered (think this would be a cheaper option to wine) came to £16. The waitresses though were lovely, very attentive and accommodating. However, I sadly won't return because I know of a few other Thai places in the area that do a better job for a more reasonable price.

Delicious and authentic Thai Food. The staff and decor were amazing as well! Definitely must try their Thai Fish Cakes, spring rolls, seabass, and tamarind duck.

Fabulous food staff were amazing customer care top rate beautiful restaurant too that is why we scored 5 stars Thankyou

Amazing! Cant wait to go back! Great food, fast service with extra friendly staff. Really authentic feeling. 10/10 food

Lovely food served by nice people in very pleasant surroundings

Lovely food and very interesting seating areas. Service was very friendly and efficient

Late Oct 23- busy place for a wet Sat night and can see why. Staff friendly and helpful and answer questions on menu, able to provide vegan choices too. No hesitation. The ornate wooden carving and decor is amazing. Curries might look alike but taste different! Only issue we had was asking for no chicken in noodles and finding they'd left it in- they replaced the dish immediately - despite when server places food on table she repeated it "had no chiken". Crispiest batter on banana fritter! Great vibe. Tasty food. Friendly staff. Paid £20 ph, mains and shared starter x2, 3 alcoholic and water drinks.

I had a fantastic experience at the restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The ambience was excellent, creating a wonderful dining atmosphere, and the staff provided exceptional service. I highly recommend this restaurant for a delightful dining experience.

Excellent Thai restaurant. We attended as a large group of 20+ for a family reunion. The staff were all friendly and welcoming, the restaurant had a lovely atmosphere and the food is delicious. I would particularly recommend the lamb massaman. I would certainly revisit again if I return to Leamington Spa.

Really good environment, well-decorated, making you feel like dining in Thailand forest. Service is also good, waiters and waitresses are all attentive However, the portion is extremely small considering the price, we two spent £100 but still not full🙃

Fantastic, attentive service. Delicious food - delicate flavours and high quality all around. Consistently good on every visit. Lovely relaxed, yet friendly atmosphere.

Delicious and authentic food, BEAUTIFUL decor, friendly staff - 10/10 experience. If I lived locally, I'd be in every week! Thank you! ขอบคุณ

Amazing food and ambiance. Will visit again.

Nice Thai restaurant.. reasonable food and service and prices aren't too expensive

A fabulous Thai restaurant, one of the best I’ve been to! Lovely food, such nice staff and relaxing atmosphere. Definitely recommend going, the sweet & sour chicken is fantastic!

Top quality authentic Thai food. It's a little more expensive than most but you have to pay more for quality. Make sure you book as it gets packed even in mid week.

Lovely food if some things are a little expensive, good staff. Had the appetiser for one then river river prawns. Large party of us all served at the same time as well.

Hmmm...looks better than the food tastes or what the service is, considering we were offered desserts half way through our mains. The food wasn't of a good quality, I will not be returning or recommending.

We felt immediately relaxed when we entered this restaurant - and we had brought a baby. Lovely ambience and stunning decor. The food was heavenly. We really enjoyed poh piah tod, moo yang, pla tod, pad pak priew wan, khao pad khai. So many more items on the menu we'd like to try, so we will have to come back. Khob kun krab.

Just went there for lunch set £14 two dishes very yummy and sweet! Very tasty!

This has to be the BEST THAI RESTAURANT I’ve ever had in my life! Authentic Thai food for certain, not a single dish is disappointing, every dishes we had so far for classic Thai food are all BRILLIANT! I’m an extremely picky person on food, and even the Pad Thai noodle I ordered had wok hei! Respect! Atmosphere no doubt brilliant as shown on the photos, service is also amazing! We asked for recommendations and the waiters have been very honest, not to mention the food are incredible. Absolutely in love with this restaurant, will totally come back with family and friends!

Lovely place! Pepper and salt squid is definitely 💯 starter! Green curry is really delicious.

Excellent as always Some of the best Thai food outside of Thailand 🇹🇭 x

I have been coming to this restaurants for years but haven't been for awhile. Decor was lovely as ever and staff incredibly friendly and attentive. As per usual food was amazing - tasty and fresh. However, the menu price is the same but the portion size is so much much smaller. I mean much smaller. Obviously I know prices have to rise but it was a big enough change in portion size to make me wonder if it would still be my first choice Thai?

Best Thai in town. The staff here are wonderful. The food is phenomenal. (Lamb shank massaman is really good)

Had an excellent experience here. Definitely the best Thai food out of the wide selection in Leamington and Warwick. We had the tempura vegetables, red curry with prawns and pad Thai. The vegetables weren't oily and retained their freshness, the prawns in the curry were cooked perfectly in a lovely creamy red curry and the pad Thai was cooked perfectly - flash fried. Staff were nice and authentic. The restaurant was probably a bit intense for me but it was otherwise a calming atmosphere.

we had a family meal here and loved it. the smells, the decor, the food, the service - all made for a great evening. they could cater for vegans too.

First visit and very impressed will be returning! Excellent customer service very attentive and we weren’t rushed asking if we were ready for the mains or wanted time after finishing the starters. Great ambiance and lovely Thai decor. The food was so tasty I couldn’t fault it! I would highly recommend!

Best Thai meal in years with great service.

We happened to find this place on April 20 and had dinner. Quite simply - the most impressive meal I have eaten in years and excellent service!!! The location is central and the interior is engaging with numerous wood carvings - even at every table. The service was prompt and attentive without being intrusive. But the real star was the food. It came quickly and piping hot. We had a duck appetizer and two curry dishes with rice. The food was kept hot on candle warmers which was a real treat. And the food itself was tasty with complex flavours and texture. This is not a Michelin restaurant - but it was a great evening and it was value for the money we paid - would be back often if we lived in the area.

Food was alright, wasn't great compared to the high prices charges and relative to other Thai restaurants in Leamington, wasn't value for money

Firstly our waitress was extremely polite and so lovely !!! The starter Chicken Satay was very nice, the downside to our evening was my husband’s meal came a good ten minutes before mine so he had just about finished his. Would I go back not especially no.

Been a couple of times now. Great food and atmosphere.

The one of the best places for Thai food lovers in Leamington spa

Some of the best food I have ever eaten in my entire life. I can't recommend this place enough. If you eat chicken, you're in luck. Gai Yang and Southern Thai Chicken are some of my favourite dishes. The decor makes the experience so much better. The service is great and I genuinely have nothing bad to say about this place.

Good food, excellent service, friendly staff, nicely decorated place, totally recommend it.

Booked as staying in Leamington for the night. Ambience, food and service was all amazing! Staff were welcoming, friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Extensive menu that was hard to choose from as all look delicious and we really enjoyed the whole evening! Wish we lived closer as it will be a little while before we can visit again. Loved the layout of the restaurant, great building allowing intimacy with its quirky spaces and fantastic Thai wood carvings and decorations. Thanks for a lovely evening!

I've had several takeaways from The Thai Elephant and they have always been excellent. I often ask for vegetarian versions of their dishes and they are always delicious. The team there are really friendly and helpful.

Great food and very friendly staff! Super quick service. Would absolutely recommend. We had the Massaman with sticky rice and it was so fresh with beautiful flavours!

Lovely welcome. Sumptuous decor, clean facilities. Gorgeous food: beautifully flavoured and attractively presented. Attentive, polite staff. Thank you so much!

Food slow arriving and not very good. Very disappointed. Ordered off the banquet but wasn’t sure what the different food was and when asked waitress she didn’t know either or care.

The best Thai food I’ve had to date, the staff were prompt & friendly and the restaurant looked fab!

I chose to visit this restaurant following reviews of the food, combined with seeing the photos of the interior décor, as for me this is a big part of the dining out experience. The food was absolutely delicious, the staff were lovely and the décor...

One of the best Thai restaurants I have been in. Superb food and service. Excellent menu, little bit dearer that the average Thai but the food was worth it. Will certainly return next time there is an opportunity.

We went as a group with family staying nearby. The food was good but the portions were very small and it was very expensive for what we had. (Limited drinks - (non alcoholic) and no deserts and over £30 per head including children seemed too...

Had eaten at the Giggling Squid the night before but last night it was completely rammed full, I didn't want to wait around so thought to try another option and visited The Thai Elephant. There are three Thai restaurants on the same street, so competition...
