Small local restaurant, design inside was simple but aesthetic. I went recently with 2 friends and we all ordered small plates and the food was very hit or miss. The seafood and vegetable dishes were better than the meat dishes. The ginger chicken was very dry and tough and not that flavourful. The best items were the prawn tempura and the marinated aubergine. They fo offer some gluten free items.

I really enjoyed the food. They were good enough to give me a full breakdown of gluten free items. It was mostly fish and rice but they were nice.

In short I would say it's one of, if not the best place in Leamington Spa for an incredible Gluten-free meal and dining experience. The Thai elephant is one of the places I've been meaning to go to for ages and I'm kicking myself now for not going in sooner. It looks amazing even from the outside but wow, it's absolutely stunning inside, especially if you have an appreciation for fine woodwork/ furniture making. Of corse i did not go in to just to look at the decor but it's definitely mention worthy. We went in for lunch yesterday, I asked at the front if they catered for allergies as i have a few and need to be especially careful to avoid gluten (inc cross contamination). They were so helpful, they looked through the menu and checked with the kitchen and told me i had quite a few options so we took a seat. There were quite a few options, more than I had even hoped for so to make things easier we had a look at the lunchtime set menu specials and again i wasn't disappointed with gluten free, vegan and vegetarian options. The satay starters were so deliciously moreish, beautifully marinated succulent skewers of creamy peanutty heaven cooked to perfection, I could easily of eaten them a few times over. For a starter of a set menu (under £15 for 2 corses), it was fantastic and a decent portion. For mains we had the sweet and sour chicken and the Thai green curry, both came with a bowl of steamed rice. They were both simply delicious. Now I do love sweet and sour in most of it's glorious forms so this was an easy choice for me and again it didn't disappoint. It had everything you'd expect, very flavoursome but also very light and delicate. I think it's great that they served our food in the middle of the table as it was easier to try both dishes and I'm so happy i did. The Thai green curry was incredibly delicious, deep, rich, fresh, light, aromatic and creamy with a pleasant amount of spiciness. Again very moreish and decent portion sizes. We finished everything and left feeling happy and satiated. There was no service charge added to the bill, though prosecco and I did leave a nice, well deserved tip. From the moment we stepped in there the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The music is mellow, the atmosphere is lovely, it's clean and well kept and has lots of lovely plants that must take some looking after. It seems really well run, even the little touches like the plates were warm and the glasses were chilled are very much appreciated. I thoroughly enjoyed everything about dining at the Thai elephant and will most definitely and unsurprisingly, be returning.

I had the pleasure of my first nourish bowl today at Grounded Kitchen and it was absolutely delicious. It was prepared fresh and the service was brilliant, super friendly and the menu options (with dietary restrictions) were explained well. I'd say this would be my top choice for a healthy, quick, easy, delicious, great value for money Gluten-free take out lunch in Leamington Spa. It seems a nice atmosphere to dine in as well, very clean, organised and well kept but there aren't many places at all that you can grab something this good so quickly. It's all easily customizable too, which is fantastic as I can get extra extra yum yum sauce whilst also avoiding the dreaded devil's herb aka coriander. The nourish bowl was the dish that keeps on giving, so many flavours, colours and textures and I was genuinely surprised at just how much they fit into the take out tub. I found it really filling but not heavy, everything was so fresh and fragrant and there are lots of options to play with. I went for the dairy free option of the Bulgogi with chicken which was tender and succulent and the sauces that came with it were so so tasty, one was quite a mild chilli sauce but it was still very flavoursome and thoroughly enjoyable the other was incredible, hard to describe but very creamy and went perfectly to join the other flavours in the dish. Everything went really well together and the rice was cooked beautifully. I'm looking forward to going back and trying the Korean Tempeh next time, there are also plenty of Vegetarian and Vegan options as well as a selection of healthy drinks and desserts to choose from. The Korean Tempeh is phenomenal, I can't stop thinking about it and their yum yum sauce. The mushrooms are cooked to perfection. Thank goodness it's healthy or I'd be in real trouble the amount I've had, more so now I've used Deliveroo. The drinks are delicious too, detox is my favorite and packed full of goodness. The meal deals are good value especially if you're going in a group. Eating in is lovely too. Everyone there is always so delightful and the atmosphere is fantastic. The manager is very attentive and obviously cares a lot, every time I've been in they are checking in with customers and seeing how they are doing as well as their food, it's a such refreshing way to interact and much appreciated from me (and me mam).
