Green Elephant. Much Elegant! Our sweet sweet boy wanted to go here! And we got into the BEAUTIFUL seaside city of Portland Maine! A friendly town elder welcomed us to the city! We went into Green Elegant and ordered soda. Less ice next time please! The man who I drive with ate some tofu and noodles and had his shirt tucked in because this is a NICE place to eat. Our Sweet boy ate something he liked. Vegan options for those animal lovers who don’t want to kill god’s creatures but also don’t want to eat mud and grass. And for me…Green Curry at the extravagant Green Elephant. The kind waitress said, you want this spicy? I said lemme get a 2 spice. Spice scale goes to 5! 2 is good. I DID NOT want to cause a scene cause Spicey gets me riled up. Can’t embarrass our sweet boy he’s shy! Shyness isn’t bad this world needs all kinds of people. Be understanding and live life with love. So I sipped soda which was blueberries flavor. And not to belabor the point but next time I’ll sip from the bottle…too much ice in the glass. Like the North Sea. Him had gift card! 50 bucks. I loved the curry and caused a small scene!

How nice it is to have a whole menu of options that I can actually eat rather than searching for the one or two veggie options at a regular restaurant. The food is delicious and good sized portions. Will definitely come back, would eat here all the time if I could afford to!

I am always a sucker for a vegetarian restaurant. We were craving a green curry and this was right around the corner from our hotel. We picked up the green curry with tofu and it was a bit thinner than we expected. The flavor was still pretty good, but if you are expecting a super authentic curry this wouldn't be in my top 5. I would still go back and try some other things on the menu and the host that got us our order was incredibly friendly!

I am not a vegetarian or a vegan. I have heard great things about the food at Green Elephant for years, but have never tried it because I had no interest in a meatless restaurant. But my wife and I decided to try it for lunch, and we were both blown away by how flavorful and delicious the food was. The Roti (Indian style flatbread) and Hot & Spicy Soy Sticks for apps were great. The Soy Stick, shaped like a chicken drumstick on a skewer was shockingly like eating fried chicken, and delicious with its spicy sauce. Our entrees were the Chinese Broccoli with fried soy filet, which reminded me of a chicken or pork katsu in a Japanese restaurant, and the Spicy Vegetable Medley stir fry with soy meat in a red curry paste sauce. The soy "meat" was shaped like a steak fry, meaty in texture and delicious. Food and service were fabulous. Don't know why I ignored this place for years, but I'll be returning!

My daughter is a vegetarian and she has been here a few times and I wanted to try it. I was NOT disappointed. The staff was friendly, the food was superb! I had the Pad Thai (hold the tofu), my son got the same but spicy level 2, my daughter had the Basil fried rice. She loved the soy meat in her dish. I 100% loved mine! We shared the chocolate orange dessert, which we should have gotten 2 of. Highly recommend and will return!

Best food I've ever eaten, vegetarian or otherwise. Absolutely insane how fresh and delicious and flavorful this food is. Freaking fantastic ??? got the (1) Chinese Broccoli with Crispy Breaded Soy Filet (2) Soy Sticks (3)Roti Cani. IF YOU GET ONE THING, YOU NEED TO GET THE SOY STICKS. THEY ARE SO MUCH MORE AMAZING THAN THEY SOUND LOL. They're in this incredible red Indian sauce with a little spice and sooo much flavor. Every single one of these things was a cultural masterpiece ?? if you could only go to one restaurant, choose THIS ONE. I'm not vegetarian at all and this is the best food I've ever had!! The spice and flavor palettes are out of this world!
