Highly recommend. I ordered butter chicken, Bombay aloo and egg fried rice. Honestly, the best Indian takeaway I’ve had in a very long time. The curry was perfect and the potatoes were the best Bombay potatoes I’ve ever had. The curry was rich and thick, lots of flavour. Great service. Arrived early. It’s a MUST try. I’m not local so I’m so gutted I may never get to have this again but if I visit the area in future I will definitely return. Fantastic food! Thank you.
This was the Red House pub when I was growing up and wasn't that great. We went to the Flying Elephant on Wednesday to celebrate a birthday and see what it was like. First impressions were great, with both the outside and inside looking much nicer. We were warmly welcomed and shown to our booked table. The menu looks excellent with a mix of Indian, Kenyan and British dishes. We ordered starters and main courses. All the food was really excellent. I particularly recommend the Samosa Chaat! The only slight downside was that the plates for the main course were cold. When we asked whether they could be heated the waitress said 'well they have come from the hot plate' and walked off. We then opined that the service really dropped off and even though it was becoming busier, there were staff just standing around - when we finished our meal nobody cleared the finished ates even after we'd received and paid the bill. At the time we shrugged it off and as I say the food was fantastic so we still enjoyed the meal. However, I would love this place to succeed so improve the service and it will be even better. We will return to see!
Fantastic place.
Three-and-a-half Cobra; mixed starter/chicken sagwa/railway chicken/rice and naan = £50!
All top quality; the railway chicken with undertaste of fresh coriander was awesome.
Well done all at The Flying Elephant!
