Customers Reviews

(3/5)

“The Elephant in Kempston makes a good first impression – the restaurant is well-kept, with a pleasant atmosphere and nicely arranged interior. The menu is extensive, offering a wide range of Chinese and Thai dishes, all prepared with fresh ingredients, which you can definitely taste. Portions are generous and the presentation of the food is appealing. Unfortunately, despite the positives, the overall experience isn't fully satisfying. The service can be very inconsistent – during one visit everything went smoothly and with a smile, while on another occasion we had to wait a long time both to place our order and to receive our meals. Delivery orders were often delayed, and the food arrived cold, which really took away from the experience. The Elephant has great potential, but it needs better organization and more consistency in customer service to truly shine. It’s a good place for a casual lunch or dinner, but at this stage, I wouldn't recommend it for special occasions. I hope they will improve these aspects in the future, because the food itself is definitely worth it.”

“Visiting for the first time for my fiancée's birthday. The table service was prompt and efficient. The food was absolutely delicious! The servings were more than ample, had to get some out into take away containers as we couldn't eat it all. Over all the price was average £20 per head including drinks. Overall a really good night out well worth a visit. We will use them for take away and will edit review then to reflect this.”

“Lovely Chinese/Thai restaurant. My first time here, would definitely go again. We had sweet bread for starter, with chilli sauce. What can I say this was the most delicious bread I've ever ha!. Why do other restaurants not do them! We had the Prawns wrapped in filo pastry with chilli sauce. Black bean beef, fried rice, sticky rice and pork loin You won't be disappointed if you eat here, the chairs are comfortable, the are toilets clean. Everything is as a restaurant should be exceptional and not over priced with the waitress double checked our order, overall very efficient and pleasant staff. 5 ⭐ from me”
