Great authentic Indian food! We really enjoyed it. The staff is super friendly and gives recommendations regarding spice level, etc. The chili cheese naan is a 12/10! Prices are totally fine for the quality you get.

Second time here, and I can say the food is consistently great. Good experience overall as they accommodated us having a stroller inside while the baby sleeps. The kids enjoyed both the nan chicken pizza and garlic nan. Lamb Biryani is good, and so is the chicken vindaloo.

The food was indeed very tasty and portions ok too. The price was average for this type of food. The service was also very good too. Where the restaurant falls badly is on the awful state of its toilets. And if the toilets are so bad, what is the kitchen like? The restaurants cleanliness on a scale of 1 - 10 was only a 6 at best. So the restaurant owners need to improve on the negative aspects of our experience.

We have visited The Elephant more than 8 or 9 times, even though we don’t live in Gothenburg. Every time we travel there, this restaurant is a must-visit because it’s simply outstanding. The food is consistently delicious, with the Aloo Naan being a standout, and the starters are amazing. The service, especially from Jason, has always been exceptional. The manager is also very kind, patient, and always helpful with any questions.

Overall, this restaurant truly feels like home if you’re looking for authentic Indian food. Highly recommended!
