THIS IS NOT THE RESTAURANT YOU WANT TO EAT AND HAVE A CALM EVENINGWe went as a group of 3 and the waiter to great us was a gem of a guy, got our table ready in 5 minutesBut the person taking our order had a go to attitude, did not have an explanation to the questions that we had about the menu.He also had a bad and impatient attitude as to getting our order !**We thought maybe he was having a bad day and would let it go**But to top it off the waiter who came to deliver the food at the table was even worse, he was just throwing the bowls and food on the table, which was un-expectable.ABOUT THE FOOD— being an Indian myself, I can assure you that what I ate was not IndianAll the chicken was cooked in the same way and was mixed with the same gravy —it just had different names on the menu.I would not recommend going to this restaurant if you are in llandudno

This is not Indian restaurant, Its own by Bangladeshis and food is also Bangladeshi and well below the quality.No taste ...simply waste of money. Poor Services. Stop branding yourself as Indian Restaurant you are just ordinary Bangladeshi restaurant with poorest food quality and

Food was good and delivered quickly considering the distance, (we ordered because it was the only option on Just Eat with vegan options that delivered to Didcot) but if you have to ask for a tip at the door because it’s a far away delivery maybe just don’t offer delivery to Didcot or add a higher delivery fee, I’m all for paying delivery drivers fairly and I gave the £2 which was all I had in my wallet but didn’t like being put on the spot and it’s rare I have cash on me anyway, I would much rather have just paid £5 more when I ordered

Good food, but lacking salt, big time. Ordered via Uber Eats and delivery speed was OK.

I ordered from the Blue Elephant and they did not disappoint, the food arrived on time and tasted amazing, full of flavour and the meat melted in your mouth! I will definitely order again 10/10!!! Best takeaway I have had in a long time! I Highly recommend!

I've been regularly ordering from this restaurant via Uber eats and the order takes TOO long to deliver every single time, an hour! And today it took nearly 2 hours to deliver the order and then they deliver the wrong order to me. At this point, It's all so frustrating although the taste is ok I'm never going to order from this restaurant again.

Ordered food and after 2 hours never received and had them say that the driver knocked on the door several times which was a lie and then offered a £5 refund which was 20% of the order and would still not deliver. Manager rude and unprofessional. Absolutely joke avoid at all cost.

Food was delicious ? and the delivery driver was really friendly. Had the chicken tikka masala,tandoori chicken,keema naan,and the best masala chips I've ever had! 5 star service and food

Wrong food, food poisoning and misisng food hygiene certificate....We ordered food from here to be delivered by uber eats. The food came on time but 40% of the items either didn't arrive, or were wrong.The garlic rice was more onion than anything.Poppadoms didn't arrive at all.2 Garlic Naan were plain!My wife korma was fine, but my chicken tikka pathia has given me the horrific food poisoning.Not surprising since the "FOOD HYGIENE CERTIFICATE" is missing!

We packed take away in this restaurant , we ordered chicken briyani’s and looking at the reviews and crowd in the restaurant we thought food would be delicious , the Briyani was uncooked and did not taste like Briyani , pathetic service ! No flavours , spices in the food!Rest of the crowd other than Indians would like their food

Far from authentic INDIAN food ….totally bland chicken biryani…salt missing in all items ordered…

I have had take out all year from The Blue Elephant and it has been fantastic every time. The chef’s there are obviously always young their game, because every takeaway was better than the next. Can’t wait for my next takeaway. I recommend the onion salad if you enjoy extra texture with your food. Beautiful food every time…

Oh dear, to be fair the lady on the phone was very friendly when explaining that the delivery had been given to the delivery guy from user eats nigh on 50 min ago and how that the food was hot when it left. Unfortunately upon delivery the delivery bag was open and the poppadoms were smashed to smithereens, the prawn purthi tasted weirdly sweet, the biriyani was bland to say the least and the onion baji in the chefs special was also very bland. The saving grace was the korma hence the 2 stars but obviously will never ever ever ever order from here again. £33 odd down the drain :(

Good food but takeaway delivery is slow, as other reviewers have mentioned. We waited nearly 2 hours after ordering and this doesn't seem uncommon.
