Thai Elephant - Wokingham

Awful food, sticky tables, no atmosphere, they were trying but would not go again and bad value for money

Tried this on a whim and was very pleasantly surprised. Set in the right hand side of The Wellington pub, the decor was straight from the restaurant. Service was very good and a wide range of drinks available from the bar. The best part was the food it was outstanding. The flavours as authentic as the ingredients imported from Thailand and skilfully prepared by Nikki the Chef and proprietor. Both the red and green curries were delicious, just the right amount of spice with the flavours of the ingredients readily distinguishable through the heat. The best Thai food since Thailand and reasonably priced too. Looking forward to going back or having a takeaway in the very near future.

Overcooked ‘old’ food. Really quite disgusting. They are totally disorganised and rude. I actually felt nauseous when I tasted the duck

Disappointing. The staff would most definitely benefit from some front of house training. Being pointed to a table and granted at rather than guided is not really what you expect. The menu choice is ok, the food was overpriced for what you get, I have experienced much better locally. I felt £70 for two for a starter and mains with no alcohol and only one soft drink was shocking to be honest, along with a 10% service charge was almost a joke. I wouldn’t blink at paying this if the food and service blew me away but it didn’t. Not somewhere I would choose to revisit anytime soon.

My husband went to the restaurant at 6pm and ordered a take-out. He was told it would be ready in 30 minutes. He left to run some errands and returned 30 minutes later only to be informed it would take another 30 minutes! In reality, it took an additional 45 minutes. I understand it was a busy Saturday night, but the wait was excessive. Adding to the disappointment, the vegetarian pad Thai we ordered ended up having chicken in it. As a non-meat eater, this was quite off-putting.
