★☆☆☆☆ Having read some good reviews I was almost decided to go to this restuarant with my wife but then I saw the menu and they serve pork readily. They may claim to have halal chicken/meat but can they guarantee no cross contamination? Having worked in the fast food chains as a student, I know vegetarian burgers are only vegetarian as far as patty is concerned. There is a lot of cross contamination. Coming back to my point, the servers and chef are not muslim in this restuarant so how can we trust just because they buy chicken from a halal butcher? I leave my fellow muslim brothers and sisters to decide...Alhamdulillah for me, I found an excellent Thai/Singaporean restuarant in Walthamstow called Thainese. Perfect ambience, great food and certified Halal (HMC certified outlet). Posted on April 15, 2013

★★★★★ Organised work dinner and found it exceptional. Great variety and excellent quality. Particularly recommend chilli beef. Posted on March 15, 2011

★★★★☆ good food nicely done up down side haraam foom and alcohol good food freindly service Posted on June 17, 2010

★★★★☆ One of the most beautiful restaurants around and food is nice especially their pad thai. Shame they sell pork.Would like to go again but would have to save as it is very expensive but I suppose it needs to be to keep up with the beautiful surroundings. Posted on June 17, 2010

★★★★☆ from the outside it looks a bit drab, but once inside its like a mini oasis, very peaceful and relaxing. food very good to, shame they had to sell pork! Posted on June 16, 2010

★★★★★ Excellent place to bring the family or wife for a special treat. Definitely the most beautiful and exotic looking restaurant décor you will ever see! Looks like a normal plain restaurant from the outside, but inside there are small ponds and streams full of fish interweaving throughout the restaurant! The food is nice and authentic Thai and gives a break away from the usual currys. They also have Aligator on the Menu! would have tried that if it was halal! We paid £90 for 2 people, and had abit of everything from the menu. Very nice restaurant, good food and decent size portions, fantastic waiting staff, beautiful indoor decorations. Defo worth a visit, and well worth the large hole wit will leave in your pocket! Posted on January 2, 2010

★★★★★ Great food and great way to break the bank. Posted on November 11, 2009

★★★★☆ We booked in advance to get the waterside seats (no guarantees, but will seat you there if available). We ordered the Royal Thai Banquet set menu and were pleased with the variety of starters and desserts. The main course, a tray of 10 different Thai dishes was certainly adequate, but not as awe inspiring as we'd hoped. Make sure you remind them you want halal and no alcohol, as there are some items with pork and an apertif usually served after the meal. Other than that, a beautiful place. Posted on August 15, 2006

★☆☆☆☆ they serve pork and alchol????????? Geez anything to make money, this is so sad to hear Posted on June 11, 2006

★★★★☆ Dear fellow muslims. I would suggest all of you to think carefully before eating in Blue elephant. No doubt the food is good, and the meats are halal, they do sell pork. And pork was served together in the same tray of the starters. Im not sure if pork is prepared separately, but because Im not sure, I stay away from it. Please bear in mind, they don't have separate 'Halal' staff to prepare halal food. May allah bless you all. Posted on October 5, 2005

★★★★★ Hi all, I'm from Thailand. As far as I know about this restaurant is wife of owner is muslim. And Blue Elephant Restaurant in Bangkok, Thailand serve pork too. I never try or enter into this restaurant since there are still muslim restaurant (and also halal) out there. I will try to updated many muslim restaurant and foodshop in Thailand into this web for your information and stomach, Inshaallah. Posted on October 21, 2004

★☆☆☆☆ Do they really serve pork???????????? How is it halah then? Oh may be Zabihah pork,....!!!! I guess Posted on August 10, 2004

★★★★★ warning: I got in touch with the email on their website who told me that although the meat is halal, it is NOT prepared seperately from pork! Posted on August 28, 2003

★★★★★ Its one of the most beautiful Halal resteraunts that London has to offer, the food is great and is the kind of place that you would go on a special occassion. Only negative point is that its very expensive. Posted on August 20, 2002

★★★★★ Great dining experience, lovely food, courteous and attentive staff, opulent surroundings, but ridiculously expensive; a meal for 2 can cost around 80. A good place for special occasions. Posted on November 1, 2001
