Smiling Elephant

Love, love, love this place. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. The food is too notch and the flavors are authentic. Try the Pad Thai and if you are adventurous make it Thai hot! The downside is the restaurant is tiny even with the addition hence three stars due to the noise from the neighboring tablea. There is a wait but the staff tries to seat you as soon as possible. There is also a problem with parking as there are not a lot of spaces. Overall The Smiling Elephant has some of the best Thai food in Nashville and have preserved the authentic flavors of Thailand.

Bought some takeout. Papaya salad was spicy and delicious; a good indicator for how authentic the Thai taste is. The rice wasn’t Jasmine as indicated on the menu.

Came to town to visit family and we wanted some good thai food, well, this was the place! We ordered some pad thai, pad kee mao, some fresh rolls, and dumplings. Everything was great! We even ordered a thai iced Tea and for dessert, we had the chocolate roti. Nothing failed to appease and the portions for the entrees were gigantic and delicious! We will definitely come back if we are in town.
