" Elephant House offers a decent array of Indian dishes. I had the Butter Chicken, which was quite flavorful but on the sweeter side, unlike what I typically enjoy. The atmosphere could have been more inviting, as I felt it lacked warmth. Service was reasonable; our waiter was attentive enough. Overall, an okay experience, but I might look elsewhere next time for something more authentic. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit here was delightful. We had a large group and decided to try a bit of everything: naan, kebabs, biryani, and a variety of curries. Everything was well-presented and delicious. The service was prompt, and the staff genuinely seemed to enjoy serving us. However, the setting felt a bit cramped, and it was a bit noisy during peak hours. Despite this, I would recommend for groups looking to experience Indian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" For my birthday, I wanted to try something different, and I opted for Elephant House. It had a warm vibe, and the staff made me feel special, even bringing a small cake for the occasion, which was a thoughtful touch! The food itself? Outstanding! I had the Biryani and it was so aromatic and rich; I can't believe how much I loved it! Would highly recommend to others! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a lovely experience! The owner made sure we felt right at home. The restaurant had a warm ambiance with ethnic decorations. We ordered the Chicken Masala and paneer dishes, which were rich and tasty. I especially loved the Palak Paneer! Everything was fresh and authentic; one of the best Indian experiences I've had abroad! Highly recommend it to anyone craving Indian food in Mexico City. " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I stumbled on this restaurant while exploring Polanco, and it was a fantastic discovery. The Tandoori Chicken was juicy and flavorful, matched beautifully with yogurt sauce. The ambience was relaxed, making it a great spot for a casual meal. The service was friendly, and I appreciate them accommodating our last-minute table request. A winner in my book!

" The food at Elephant House was delicious but the service was lacking. We felt somewhat neglected during our meal, and it took longer than expected to get our drinks. The atmosphere is friendly with a mix of cultures dining together, but the quality of service was inconsistent. I think with some adjustments, this place could be fantastic, as the flavors were definitely there! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place is an absolute gem hidden in Mexico City! I was blown away by the authenticity of the dishes they serve. We ordered the Lamb Vindaloo and Chicken Tikka Masala, two of my favorite Indian dishes, and they surpassed my expectations. The spices were spot on, and the naan was delightful. Not only was the food fantastic, but the owner, Mr. Hussein, ensured we had everything we needed. We ended up chatting about food for quite some time. Will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)
