The Royal Elephant Restaurant in Rotherham

Hi very sorry her Royal elephant 🐘 closed down have say did like royal elephant 🐘 much at all then think sweet up much and coffee was nice at all then miss Victoria Jane twibell

Absolutely fabulous lovely food, excellent service waited on, Absolutely fabulous atmosphere between staff and customers.

Food always so fresh. Realy good

Great first impressions. Food was delicious! Will definitely sit in next time 😊

The nicest carvery! So many vegetables to choose from and 4 different meats all cooked to perfection. The sausage gravy is delicious. If you have space for dessert, their apple pie is soft and sweet and finishes the meal off nicely. The staff are all friendly and super efficient. Definitely worth the visit!

Do not go if you're a vegetarian unless you want to spend £19pp for rice and chips (Benidorm 😂) absolutely no vegetarian no option

We went on a Saturday night, didn't realise its buffet night, there is nothing for vegetarians but you can order from the menu however the only desert available is cheap cream.

We had a midweek carvery that was great value highly recommended.

Great food and very friendly and efficient service.

Brilliant food, hot full of flavour, loved it

A fantastic place to eat and excellent customer service. The food was great and plentiful. One of our party has a food allergy and the owner was exceptionally dilligent about making sure no allergens were present in our meal, even suggesting an alternative to one of the dishes in the set meal that would have otherwise contained peanuts. We came at a time that was not busy, hence the four stars on atmosphere.

I HAD THE WORST MEAL I HAVE HAD FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER. I CHOSE THE THAI RED CURRY.The chicken was tough, the pieces too big and tasteless.I complained to the waitress who said nothing.I complained again when I came to pay, she took all my money and never apologised.I shall never go there again.AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE.

THE WORST MEAL THAT I HAVE HAD FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBERI had the Thai Red Curry and the chicken was atrocious, far too tough, in too big a piece and tasted of nothing. I left at least 2/3rds of it. I complained to the waitress, she said nothing,I complained again when I came to pay.She took all my money for it and never apologised.I shall never go agin.Avoid like the plague.

This was the first time that I had been to this restaurant. We were a group of 10 students of Spanish, celebrating the end of the Christmas term. We chose the Christmas menu , with 3 courses which were reasonably priced. We did not have to preorder but the food choices arrived in good time. All of us then chose to have the carvery and since some guests had more limited mobility, the staff, after consultation, brought their meals to the table. There was a variety of meat, vegetables, stuffing and Yorkshire pudding, together with gravy. The desserts were of a similar standard, with the salted caramel cheesecake being particularly delicious. Something else that was noteworthy was that,unbeknown to me, the catch on my necklace had become loose whilst we were in the bar area before the meal. A member of staff had noticed the necklace on the floor and it was swiftly returned to me.

Lovely Thai food, nice relaxing place and the most friendly people you could meet. It's lovely and quiet for us as we don't like it loud and noisy. Also a carvery option.

Best takeaway I’ve had in ages. Beautiful food, well seasons. Quick delivery and lovely driver.

Trying to scam people with a different price that on the site

Incredible food and service. Can't fault anything and the menu is well presented and there's lots of choice. Would definitely recommend!

Very good, tasty, hot and well ahead of expected time. Will definitely order again!

Food OK for the price is very good value for money and very family friendly atmosphere.

Bang food great price 4 a Carvery

Food and service great, as always. Temperature of room a little low.

We chose the buffet rather than menu, and were not disappointed. There was plenty of choice of starters and mains & all were delicious. The meat was so tender & flavours really good. Staff were all very helpful and friendly. We would definitely visit again.

The food came really quickly was hot and very tasty. Will definitely order from here again.

Hot... plenty of food. Service within seconds. Would recommend 👌 👍

Party of 7 all ages and the food was amazing. One of the best Thai foods I’ve had. Very clean inside.

The food was amazing and there was such a variety to have …. we were really pleased as it was the first time we had been there and you are always abit wery when you try somewhere else…. but have to say we will definitely be going back again and the staff were very pleasant and on hand to offer there services…. Thankyou very much

Was quite disappointed. The food didn’t have much flavour, the chicken was an unusual texture and there was very little meat. I’ve been coming to this restaurant for years but the food was poor. Delivery driver was extremely kind and pleasant.

All lovely except the parcels, they were burnt & not edible, not great considering the cost for 4 is £5.95.

Excellent food and friendly delivery service.

Nice carvery, unfortunately short staffed.

Our new favourite destination for Sunday lunch. Everything was perfectly cooked, but the gravy OMG. I could have had a bowl and drunk it like soup. Sssoooo delicious 😋. I can't wait for the Thai chef to return from Thailand and try the Thai menu.

One of the best places for a Sunday Carvery !

Excellent food and service. Would highly recommend.

We order regular from here, always love the food :) highly recommend

Excellent food, sevice and reasonable price. We often have a takeaway from here but only been for a sit-in meal this once, we'll defiantly be back.

Had carvey plenty of meat but vegetables was cold

The lady in the restaurant at pick up was lovely, however, both chicken dishes are not edible. The chicken is rubbery and soggy in places. We would not eat it. Chips were fine, the coconut rice is edible but doesn't taste much of coconut cream like I've had at other thai places previously. Food 1* Service 5* Collection 5* Sadly I will not order again.

Absolutely love this place. Amazing food. Super service. The Thai menu is delicious. We dine here as often as we can. The Sunday carvery is always perfect and to be honest so is the week day ones. The staff are fab too x

Attended a home instead friendship lunch,,the food and service was excellent, will visit again.

Helpful staff but alcohol is expensive. Carvery brilliant but not so good for beverages.

Brilliant food! Excellent service

Went for a meal tonight the starters and main meal were well presented and delicious. Staff were freindly and attentive had a nice evening meal and drinks for a reasonable £43 would go again without hesitation.

Great food and the Thai menu is beautiful

Meal was nice,but could do with bigger plates. The stuffing could be better. Excellent service very welcoming. The guy serving the meat looked like he didn't want to part with it very small slices.

Great staff excellent Sunday dinner, very reasonable price

Another great meal at The Thai Royal Elephant Dinnington South Yorkshire. A great place to meet and enjoy good service Good Company and Excellent FOOD.

Nice place for a carvery. They layout and decor is very nice. Polite staff.

The carvery is really good. Whoever does the roast potatoes, their great.

Beautiful food thoroughly enjoyed it, very clean, very friendly service lovely people, wheelchair friendly would highly recommend this restaurant 🙂

It was very quite when we were there surprising for a Saturday at 13.00 hrs. Food made up for lack of atmosphere

Dealt with our party of 20 plus for Sunday lunch with no problems, excellent service

Sunday Carvery, good selection of meats and vegetables. Very busy at dinner time, but quite quick service. Definitely worth a visit.

We had Sunday lunch carvery. Very good well priced good selection nice staff

lovely place, lovely people. Great food.

Went with a party of 5, two carvery and 3 from the Thai menu. All meals were amazingly delicious and really well priced. If we lived closer we'd come every weekend!

My long time Vegan wife absolutely loves the crispy tofu starter as she’s never found this anywhere else and we both love the amazing tempura vegetables, and that’s before the amazing mains. Consistently the quickest, freshest, tastiest, hottest take away you will find, Thank You!

Lovely place food very good pleasant and helpfull staff a very relaxing and enjoyable place

One word for the Sunday roast "excellent"

Never disappointed with this place, the food, service and place its self is excellent. The Thai menu is very comprehensive and each dish is presented so well.

Excellent service. Food was brilliant highly recommend will be using again.

Absolutely delicious and tasted so fresh.

An excellent place. Very friendly, service was great.

We’ve always scored this restaurant top marks for excellent food! After many many beautiful meals, tonight’s meal was very disappointing. I’m not sure it’s the same chef as before or whether it is a bad night. The food was unseasoned, with zero chilli spice heat or different flavours, very unlike what we are used to. Thai soup was bland, the prawn toast was soggy, the chicken satay 1/2 the normal portion - even the prawn crackers were soft. Lemon chicken was soggy, “doughy” and half of the container was batter. The noodles were tasteless. The pork was very fatty, normally it’s very lean. The prawns, although great on size again had no flavour. Noodles were very bland. Sadly 50% if not more of this meal is going in the bin. Not the usual standards, we truly hope this is just a “bad night” as this was our favourite take out. Delivery time was spot on.

have been attendinf for many years with retired ambulance persons we tried establishments all round south yorkshire than settled on royal elephant foofd was exceptional the only food served by staff was when they carved the meat you had choice of two from 3 meats and amount was very good always asked if that was enough there was about 6 or 7 vedge self service always hot 3 types of potatoes multiple sauces 2 gravy you could have as much as you liked the staff were very friendly and attentive to clients and would go out of their way if some one needed somthing i can only think any bad reviews were from people from other establishments or plants from them

Amazing food, delivered very quickly

Sunday carvery, today, beautiful, staff very friendly, i had Thai pancakes, they were gorgeous

Nice carvery good choice of meat and veg

Always excellent - our favourite take out 😊

We thought this place couldn’t get any better then we added some Tempura vegetables and mmmmmmm delicious!!!! Quality ingredients every time.

Excellent authentic Thai food, will definitely order again.

Fabulous. Food is amazing and great value. Visit if you can.

Good choice of vegetables with the carvery

Good delivery - but food was not great - rice had to go in the bin. Have being eating in here for years - but is so much better when you eat in. Won't order takeaway again - will continue to eat in.

I chose the latest delivery available as my partjer doesn't get home until 9.45pm. It was early but it didn't really matter, we just had to microwave it a bit once it was shared out.

Lovely surroundings and staff, quite inexpensive. The carvery is mediocre but the Thai food is exceptional.

Really disappointed with the food, was cold when it arrived and compare to the other Thai restaurant that's local it's miles behind it

meal staff are very helpful However it's been closed for a fortnight with out prior notice which is very poor Won't be going back

Lovely food excellent service

We had thai food. Always love eating here it's a beautiful setting with gorgeous Thai cuisine and the staff are all so attentive and friendly. The food never disappoints, great bar choices too. It's never really busy so a lovely place to come. Highly recommend.

Come here with my elderly mum 94 most weekends for Sunday lunch, lovely staff and good choice carvery

This is a recent place have tried for a Sunday carvery. Both times it has been delicious and hot. The meat was tender and really enjoyed the meal.The carvery has a choice of 3 meats and a great selection of vegetables. Staff are friendly. For the staff to improve their service it would be nice to be asked if everything ok with your meal once eating, and also ask if need more drinks.

We went this afternoon, very busy but although we booked which is essential, we were about 15 minutes waiting for the table. The food as always is excellent. The Yorkshire puddings not as good as Toby but there the comparison ends. Personally sprouts swede mushrooms and onions extra to all the usual veg makes the royal elephant 🐘 stand out from the others. One star missing because I just want the onions more tender and caramelized.

The carvery at the royal Elephant is the best lhave had in any restaurant fresh meat and a choice vegetables to die for really recommeds this restaurant you will not be disappointed

We love coming here for a Carvery.It tastes amazing and so does the lemon cheesecake!Amazing staff aswell who can't do enough for you whilst there😊

Worst meal ever. Everything was over salted. I like salt but that was like eating a salt mine.

Beautiful carvery food very tasty and good value for money. Always enjoyed our visits to eat here. Closed on Mondays. A large restaurant very spacious ..tables are not too close together. The Staff are very friendly and helpful. Toilets are clean and accessible. The bar area is lovely too. Parking is available just outside but can be a little tight and can be a blind spot coming out of car park on the bend in the road. Definately worth a visit.

Lovely meal as always! Thank you

Gorgeous tasty food, speedy delivery. Excellent service I would recommend.

Wow just wow celebrated my Daughters 30th Birthday here on Christmas Eve. Been before and had carvery which is brilliant. But last night it was Thai menu. We all had a little taste of all the different foods on the table everything was amazing. The lady that served us was attentive and brilliant. Can’t praise it enough. Was an amazing night Thank you to you all.

Excellent carvery, delicious food, lovely staff and a lovely friendly atmosphere. I would highly recommend.

Enjoyed most of our meal and would order again but I would point out that the sweet and sour chicken was awful, the chicken tasted/ texture was like rubber. Would never order that again as it was inedible! So wasted some money, as it wasn’t cheap! Everything else was decent though and would order other things.

Absolutely fantastic meal. We had the banquet, loads of food of the highest quality, friendly, helpful, efficient staff. What more do you want?

Some of the best food I've had in a very long time and the staff was extremely helpful and had the time to explain anything and everything you ask, loved it

Amazing quality food. I love how the staff can't do enough for you and explain what ingredients are in each dish if you ask them. There really knowledgeable and nothings to much trouble for them. Just amazing

Great venue , excellent staff service food was excellent

Very slow service and luke warm carvery. The server didn't seem to want to part with the meat very easily. Seems family run and they tend to look after their regulars and anyone else gets what they get! Won't bother again, there are better places to dine.
