Pink Elephant Restaurant

First time trying here. Was busy when we got here which was a good sign. Didn't have to wait a long to be seated. The staff were really friendly and could have a laugh. The food was absolutely delicious and reasonably priced. Really enjoyed the persian chicken tika karhai and the keema rice.

Staying locally for a holiday and the family voted for Indian takeaway for Sunday dinner. I mean why not. This was close to where we were and looked well turned out. The menu looked to have a few unusual items which appealed and set the place apart. We phoned an order in for collection which took 30 minutes. There's some on street parking round the area but no dedicated parking we could see - not an issue (I think they've moved location recently and the map on the menu is out of date). I was met by a man at the door who was polite and courteous, he gave me the food and a free bottle of 1664 to boot! Many thanks. The food was really tasty and had decent portion sizes. We had a mix of vegetarian and meat dishes, I ordered a mixed tandoori (unusual for me). It was ever so good, with a pleasant lemon tang coming through from the marinade on some of the pieces. We have only had takeaway and I absolutely recommend the food. The interior of the restaurant looked clean and maintained so would expect eating in to be as good as the takeaway.

Generally all pretty good. Well average to good. Staff pleasant. Food quality ok. Food quantity good. Slight mix up with order, but was quickly rectified. Prices ok. Venue & furniture looks tired. Ambience ok. Summary. Could do better.

Staff are lovely, menu looks nice but the sizzling plates kill the food, its overcooked because theyre so hot, not necessary! Enjoyed it in general but get rid of the sizzlers!

Came as part of a large party of about 40 for my partners work event- the service was really good and the staff were very friendly and organised. The starters were ok- lacking flavour slightly but were hot and fresh. My parkoras were a bit oily but they were edible. The second course (I had vindaloo) was lovely, piping hot and fresh sauce that had a good amount of heat. Some restaurant vindaloos can be a lacking in spice but this was perfect. Good portion size and the mint sauce was lovely Would come back again

Went as a big group for a celebration. Got told off by the waiters for being up out of seats trying to talk to our friends seated further up the table. Made to feel like we weren't allowed to get up. Food was ok, nothing special for me. Meat in my main course was tough. Restaurant was cold and staff not particularly welcoming. I'll not bother returning

The best in the Holme Valley? It may just be that!! Great food. Great service. Great prices.

The food and sevice last night was outstanding . The restaurant was very busy but the staff did an amazing job and the food was out of this world .
