Blue Elephant

The setting was beautiful, cosy and though the communication was pleasant and we ordered our menu and waited awhile as a busy period we acknowledged but few dishes came to our table thankfully we did not touch, as we waited for the other plates to arrive then told these were not ours. Luckily we did not touch but there should be a check on order before it served on the table. The plate of fish menu we ordered was surprised the bottom flesh missing as it's 1/2 the fish they serving . Would be nice if they explained when ordering. After dinner we waited to pay our bill but the manager in charge pity her running between tables and kitchen to serve so we waited again patiently to pay. And the washroom is few meters away shared with other business house patrons close by and not hygienic at all, pity that.

Let me start with probably the most important part: the food was delicious and it arrived quite quickly. I had stir fry and a soup. I especially appreciated that it was possible to have a stir fry without rice and a small soup portion. The service was problematic. The communication was not fluent, we waited quite a bit to pay when the waiters practically ignored us, some of our drink orders was mixed.

Best experience here today. it's 1st time we went outside with our new born baby and what a treat it was. Food was immaculate and the service was even better. We’re extremely happy customers we will be back soon.

It was a nice cosy restaurant with warm ambience...most of the menu item was good, some was average, however quite a small quantity as plate is mostly filled with garnished veges and mushrooms etc...you can see from the last photo of the left overs.... but the staff were amazingly nice...would recommend their home grown organic juices though

The Blue Elephant is a must visit. I brought my family here for dinner, and we all enjoyed! I would recommend booking prior, as they can get quite busy and sometimes take slightly longer to attend your tables. Nonetheless, the waitresses are very friendly and helpful. I got the red curry - which was a 7/10 , only as I believe it could’ve had much more meat. Overall it was still food. I was given the green curry by mistake and the waitress quickly corrected it! : The lamb massaman -8/10. Fantastic dish. Again, it just needed more meat. I cannot remember the seafood dish name, it was fried thoughsee video below - but I would 11/10 recommend this dish! Located in the most cosiest spot in Parnell, which makes it amazing. Would visit again. Thanks Blue

Our 2nd time here, once again amazing food and top notch customer service by Kay, Esther, Bim. You gotta well respectful staff there love the way they treat and greet. Definitely coming back. Vegetarian options: Cashews dish and Red penyang curry

Went there Sunday night. Despite the late hours the staff were very kind and accomodating. Had spicy noodle & fried rice - fabulous!

Blue Elephant Thai Restaurant is a must-visit spot in Auckland City for vegans and vegetarians looking for delicious Thai food. The welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff made me feel right at home, and the menu offered a variety of vegan/vegetarian options. The Tom Yum soup with tofu & the Red Penang Curry with was bursting with flavors. Pad thai was perfectly cooked rice noodles and a balance of savory flavors. The dish was beautifully presented and a standout dish, making it a must-try for anyone visiting the restaurant. With its cozy ambiance and knowledgeable staff, dining Blue Elephant was a delightful experience. For anyone searching for delicious vegan Thai food in Auckland City, I would highly recommend it.

Had chicken satay skewers and lamb massaman curry. The chicken was tender, the satay sauce was delicious, plenty in 1 serving so really good to share between 2ppl. The lamb curry was great tender fall apart lamb, looks small but actually better to share between 2. We were a group of 3, service was great and attentive, we had drinks while waiting for entrees which were nicely done. Just a great night out, good atmosphere. I've been a few times over the years and never had any complains well besides overeating but I can't even fault them on that! Edit 2022-11-29: went again tonight and we all loved the food, the service and the whole experience. Definitely will be back!

Amazing place to have dinner .. service and food both amazing .. cant get over this place .. never regret .. food bit expensive but worth paying. Recommended dishesPad Thai Noodles, Stir Fry Chicken
