" We recently celebrated my sister's birthday at ElefanThai, and it was marvelous! From the colorful decor to the rustic bamboo huts, it was visually stunning. The menu offered a fantastic mix of Thai and Indian dishes. We ordered an array of starters, including spring rolls and chicken skewers, which were delightful! My sister loved the panang curry and said it was the best she had ever tried! Every plate was beautifully presented and the service was impeccable. The only downside was that the main courses could have been a bit larger. I would highly recommend this place for any special occasions! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been searching for the best Thai restaurant in Cancun, and ElefanThai came highly recommended. The atmosphere was delightful, and the view was to die for. However, I must admit, while I enjoyed my dish (the green curry), the flavors weren't as authentic as I was expecting. My partner's lamb dish was far superior and quite tasty. Service was adequate but could improve in speed during busy hours. Portions were okay, but I think they could be a bit larger for the prices charged. I'd still say it's worth visiting, especially for the scenery. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was so excited to visit ElefanThai and it lived up to the hype! Our seating was right over the water, which created a unique dining atmosphere you can't find anywhere else. Food-wise, I have no complaints, everything from the appetizers to dessert was well-prepared. However, I felt the portion sizes were slightly smaller than expected, especially for the higher price point. Service was caring and charismatic! Overall, a fantastic place to indulge in a special evening! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit to ElefanThai was like stepping into a fairytale! Dining beside the water at sunset was absolutely magical. The menu offered a perfect balance of Indian and Thai dishes. I especially loved my shrimp pad thai. The only critique I have is regarding portion sizes—they lacked a bit of generosity for the price tag. The service, however, was top-notch. I look forward to returning and trying more of their menu in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Thanks to a friend’s recommendation, I visited ElefanThai and found a hidden gem! The setting is stunning with huts over the lagoon providing a cozy feel. The food exceeded my expectations. I particularly enjoyed their lamb curry which was cooked perfectly. My partner's chicken tikka was equally impressive, moist and flavorful. Service was up to mark – attentive yet laid-back. My only suggestion would be to consider larger portions, especially for sharing. Overall, a delightful experience, and I would gladly return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family had a marvelous time at ElefanThai! We had a splendid table overlooking the lagoon, and our meals were delicious! The Indian dishes we tried were simply superb. Service was very attentive, and they took great care of us during our meal. The only bump was the portion sizes; we definitely could have left more satisfied. I will surely recommend this place to others visiting Cancun. " (*Curated Review*)

" Although I enjoyed ElefanThai, I have some mixed feelings. The atmosphere is beautiful and sets a very nice scene for a romantic dinner, however, the authenticity of the dishes didn’t quite hold up to my expectations. My Pad Thai wasn’t very flavorful compared to others I've had, and the service could have been a bit faster. Still, I commend the fusion concept of the menu; it allows for a unique dining experience. I may consider visiting again, but I would likely focus on the Indian menu next time. " (*Curated Review*)
