Elephant Royale Thai Restaurant

Have been there before but this time all round disappointing..food quality and standard awful..and it put a dampener to what should have been a nice evening out for a thai meal.

Lovey food. Service v friendly. And great location on the river Thames. One small thing they should change is that they (for some odd reason) have put red and white tape across all the tops of all the plastic screens they erected during covid. It looks terrible. Like some sort of bizarre crime scene. Take them off and if you need to mark them in some away park the tips with a gold line of something to blend in with the restaurant. Currently it cheapens the place when it’s a lovely place (normally).

Excellent eating really, felt authentic and tasty. we enjoyed the Papaya salad very, the tiger weeping was also very nice. will most likely come back and try it one of the set menus.

The eating is average! thai green curry huhn was old and not fresh, the huh tasted old. the bark was overtaken and disappointing. the pad thai was decent, but in the season was missing. overall I was dissatisfied with eating and the surprise service fee was overwhelming. the service fee would pay if it actually service from the waiter and waiter. the food was delivered to our table without care. 12.5% service fee is extorted. I didn't pay for this due to the overall experience. I doubt I'm coming back here.

A hidden gem. With amazing food and great atmosphere. Beautiful view overlooking the Thames. The food is 100% on point. The waitress who served us was kind and polite and very informative about the menu.
