I visited the Asian dining restaurant "Oriental Elephant," located about a 5-minute walk from Takadanobaba Station. This place offers authentic Thai and Indian cuisine prepared by a Nepalese chef. To start, I had an Indian beer, Kingfisher (450 yen), which was a great value for a bottle. The spicy Som Tam salad (850 yen) made with green papaya was full of enzymes, vitamin C, and fiber. I always have Som Tam first when I eat Thai food to avoid indigestion or hangovers. I also enjoyed the Yam Wun Sen (880 yen) and shrimp spring rolls (700 yen). The stir-fried water spinach (880 yen) with bell peppers and green peppers was surprisingly delicious. The shrimp and broccoli stir-fry (980 yen) paired well with Indian wine, g (500 yen) for a bottle at an affordable price of 2500 yen. It's fun to compare different curries for their taste and value. That day, I chose the creamy Butter Chicken from India (1250 yen) and the coconut-scented Green Curry from Thailand (880 yen), which were both excellent. The crispy yet chewy Naan bread (300 yen) was also a hit. There are many more dishes I want to try, so I plan to visit with a group next time.

Today, I visited the Asian dining restaurant "Oriental Elephant" located about a 5-minute walk from Takadanobaba Station. It is situated in a quiet residential area. I started with a glass of draft beer to cheers. The Som Tam (green papaya salad) for 850 yen looked spicy but wasn't too hot, although it made me sweat unexpectedly. It's rich in vitamin C, making it perfect for summer. The Thai-style glass noodle salad Yam Wun Sen for 880 yen was filled with plenty of vegetables, shrimp, and squid, with a subtle spicy and sweet-sour taste that becomes addictive. The shrimp spring rolls for 700 yen were delicious. Stir-fried water spinach for 880 yen with bell peppers was a surprise with its first-ever combination, but surprisingly, they complemented each other well! Delicious! For the next drink, I tried Indian wine for 500 yen. The stir-fried shrimp and broccoli for 980 yen had more shrimp than broccoli, giving a sense of value. To finish, I had the melt-in-your-mouth butter chicken for 1250 yen, Thai coconut-scented green curry for 880 yen, and chewy naan bread for 300 yen. This restaurant offers a luxurious experience where you can enjoy both Thai and Indian cuisine. Thank you for the delicious meal.

A wonderful restaurant where you can enjoy Asian cuisine, mainly Thai and Indian dishes! I went there for a girls' night out and the menu had a wide variety of options. Even though I tried many new dishes for the first time, I was surprised that they were all delicious. They had an authentic taste while still being appealing to Japanese palates, which I really appreciated as I don't like strong flavors. The Pineapple Fried Rice was particularly amazing, both in presentation and taste. Also, even though I usually don't like Green Curry, I couldn't stop eating theirs because it was so delicious. The drinks were also very reasonably priced, starting from 220 yen. I definitely want to come back to this place!

I love ethnic cuisine, so I used this restaurant for a girls' night out. We started with mango lassi and wine for a toast. We had shrimp spring rolls and avocado salad to load up on veggies. The chili sauce for the spring rolls wasn't overly sweet like at other places, it had a nice spicy kick that was delicious. The avocado salad was unexpectedly hearty with meat in it, and the spicy seasoning made it hard to stop eating. The crispy garlic stir-fried shrimp was garlicky and the shrimp were juicy, the sweet and savory sauce was irresistible. A must-try dish at this restaurant is the pineapple fried rice, which I was skeptical about but turned out to be incredibly delicious! The unique seasoning, a blend of foreign and Japanese flavors, was outstanding. It's served in a pineapple shell, which adds a nice touch for a girls' night out. We also couldn't resist ordering my favorite green curry and cheese naan. The curry was rich but not overwhelming, with a subtle coconut flavor, and it was amazing with the cheese naan. The shrimp crackers were a steal at 350 yen, with a strong shrimp flavor and a light crunch that made them irresistible. Everything was so delicious that in the end, we each ordered our favorite curry to share and enjoy. The cheese spinach curry and mutton curry were both flavorful and not too spicy, so we could savor the different seasonings. After eating so much and having 2-3 drinks each, it was under 4,000 yen per person! It was shocking how affordable it was to eat so much, but even more shocking was the special all-you-can-eat and drink course for 2,500 yen, exclusive to users of the Tabelog app...! Next time, I want to try that course and eat and drink to my heart's content.

[Takadanobaba] Thai and Indian Cuisine at Oriental Elephant Located a 5-6 minute walk from Waseda Exit in Takadanobaba, Oriental Elephant offers both Thai and Indian cuisine. We crossed the Kanda River and arrived at Oriental Elephant, where we enjoyed Thai and Indian dishes. Perfect for the hot summer, the Thai dishes were refreshing, and even on a weekday night, the restaurant was quite busy. We started with a lassi toast. Here's what we ordered: - Yam Wun Sen: A refreshing appetizer made with glass noodles. - Thai-style stir-fried water spinach: A delicious dish with a unique flavor different from Chinese cuisine. - Crispy fried garlic shrimp: A flavorful dish with a crunchy texture. - Pad Thai: Not too spicy, making it enjoyable for everyone. The chewy noodles make it a satisfying dish. - Tandoori platter: A mix of shrimp, chicken, and more, with onions as a nice palate cleanser. - Butter Chicken Curry: The curry comes with plain naan, making it a great deal. Enjoy it with the hot naan. We recommend ordering a balance of both Thai and Indian dishes for a satisfying meal.

I love all the dishes, such as coriander salad, Yum Woon Sen (Thai glass noodle salad), deep-fried chicken wings, garlic fried shrimp, pineapple rice, green curry, tapioca coconut dessert. They are sour, spicy, and really stimulate my appetite. The pineapple rice with curry flavor and pineapple inside was especially delicious. The classic green curry with Thai rice is really tasty. We went with three people, shared the dishes, had a light drink, and enjoyed the meal. Even though we were full and couldn't eat anymore, the curry and naan looked delicious too. The atmosphere of the restaurant was Asian and stylish. The drinks were surprisingly affordable! It's less than a 5-minute walk from Takadanobaba Station.

I visited this place for a girls' night out, looking for Thai cuisine perfect for the hot summer. We started with a Shandygaff and a Cassis Orange, served in impressive jugs. The drinks were strong, especially for me, so I was knocked out after just one. Next, we had a Strawberry Lassi in a normal-sized glass. Lastly, I ordered a Calpis Soda, which also came in a jug. Great value for money! For food, we had a Pakchi Salad and Yum Woon Sen, both spicy and delicious. The crispy garlic-fried shrimp and Thai-style chicken wings were also tasty. We ended with Pineapple Fried Rice and Green Curry Fried Rice, both flavorful. The Green Curry was quite spicy but had a nice coconut milk taste. For dessert, we chose Tapioca, which was mild and satisfying. I ordered a la carte this time, but they also offer a great girls' night out course menu, which I would like to try next time.

From Takadanobaba towards Waseda, in the direction of Kanda River, there is a deep area with many interesting dining options. Every time I come here, I find myself wanting to try a new restaurant. One of the places I had been wanting to visit was an Asian cuisine spot for a toast. The bottled beer I chose, Indian beer, had a light taste that seemed perfect for hot days or Asian dishes! The menu had many intriguing dishes, some of which I couldn't even imagine, so I enjoyed looking them up on my phone. Each dish was authentic but with a spice level that suited Japanese palates, making them delicious and easy to eat. Among the dishes I tried, I particularly enjoyed the shrimp spring rolls, crispy fried shrimp, stir-fried garlic with shrimp, and Tom Yum Kung soup. As a shrimp lover, these three dishes were a must-try for me. The shrimp spring rolls were packed with vegetables and had a healthy feel to them, while the crispy fried shrimp had a thin crispy coating with a tasty garlic sauce. The Tom Yum Kung soup had a perfect balance of sour and spicy flavors, making it very enjoyable. Another favorite of mine was the coriander tempura, which had a gentle saltiness that enhanced the coriander's aroma and flavor. The Thai-style stir-fried chicken with cashew nuts had a satisfying texture and flavor, with the nuts adding a unique touch. For dessert, we had tapioca coconut milk, which was served in a generous portion, making it ideal for sharing with three or more people for a varied and enjoyable dining experience!

I had lunch at this restaurant when I had business in Takadanobaba. It's a 4.5-minute walk from Takadanobaba Station. This place offers authentic Indian curry and Thai cuisine. The interior is stylish with an Asian atmosphere. The lunch menu has a wide variety of options to choose from. I decided to order one curry and one Thai dish to share. - TANDOORI BBQ LUNCH ¥1,480 Choice of one curry Daily curry Freshly baked naan Tandoori chicken Garlic chicken Seekh kebab Small rice Fried papad Small salad One Indian beer The daily curry was Keema curry, and the other options were Butter Chicken Curry, Mutton Rogan Josh, and Seafood Curry. I chose the Butter Chicken Curry. The set was very reasonably priced for all that was included. The naan was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, very delicious. I later found out that the naan was all-you-can-eat, wish I had known that! The Keema curry had a strong spicy flavor that was irresistible. The Butter Chicken Curry was mild yet flavorful, and I could have eaten endless servings of it. - TOM YUM KUNG NOODLES ¥950 Tom Yum Kung noodles Small gapao rice Daily salad Daily dessert I added extra coriander on top. The gapao rice and spring rolls that came with it were also delicious with plenty of ingredients. The Tom Yum Kung noodles had the perfect balance of sourness and spiciness, and I could have kept drinking the soup forever! To fully immerse myself in the Indian vibe, I also tried the mango juice and mango lassi. They also have a great all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink menu in the evening, so I would love to visit again for dinner to try more dishes.

Located a 5.6-minute walk from Waseda Exit in Takadanobaba, in a slightly quieter area across the Kanda River, this restaurant offers a taste of Asian travel vibes. ✔︎ Draft Beer - Cheers to start off with! Premium Malt beer was the choice, a favorite that set a good pace. ✔︎ Cachumber Salad - A salad made with finely sliced vegetables like cabbage and onion, mixed with spices. The spiciness gradually builds up, but the lingering deliciousness keeps you coming back for more. ✔︎ Shrimp Fresh Spring Rolls - A must-order for me, and they did not disappoint. Consistently delicious. ✔︎ Nepalese Beer - The second round was a Nepalese beer, with a pleasant sweetness from the wheat. ✔︎ Coriander Tempura - Not the typical Japanese tempura I imagined, but more like a pancake and quite tasty. The distinct coriander flavor was not overpowering, making it suitable even for those who are not fans of coriander. ✔︎ Tom Yum Kung Soup - The perfect balance of sourness and spiciness. Especially appetizing on hot days. A menu that can make you feel energized after eating. ✔︎ Indian Beer - A beer representing India, perfectly complementing spicy dishes. Crisp and easy to drink. ✔︎ Crab and Egg Curry Stir-Fry - A curry stir-fry with chunks of soft-shell crab. Rice was served together, and although I wasn't initially in the mood to eat, one bite and I couldn't stop. Mildly spicy, creamy, and irresistible. ✔︎ Kanom Tuai - A coconut pudding, a major dessert in Thailand. After enjoying the spicy dishes, the gentle sweetness of coconut flavor was soothing. ✔︎ Kakuhai Highball - Finally, a highball to end the meal. With the hot weather continuing and my appetite waning, the spicy dishes somehow revitalized both my mind and body. We chatted for about 4 hours, enjoying the overseas travel vibes we haven't experienced in a while. Every dish was delicious with no disappointments. With a wide variety of menu items, one visit is not enough to satisfy. I would like to visit again to try other intriguing dishes. Each dish has a generous portion, so if you want to try a variety, it's recommended to go with a group of 3-4 or more.

I went to "OrientalElephant" near Takadanobaba and Kandagawa. The restaurant offers reasonable course meals and dinner sets that can be enjoyed even by one person. They are currently running a campaign with a 2-hour all-you-can-drink option for 990 yen, which is very attractive. The menu is extensive, featuring a variety of Asian dishes from countries like Thailand and India. On this day, I enjoyed various dishes a la carte. We started with a toast with a glass of draft beer (Premium Malt). They also offer bottled beers from India and Nepal. ・Kachumber Salad (Indian-style spicy salad) A simple yet addictive spicy salad made with chopped vegetables and spices. The balance of cumin, coriander, lemon, and other flavors is excellent. ・Tod Mun Kung (Thai-style shrimp cakes) Thin but rich in shrimp flavor, these cakes paired well with the sweet and sour sauce. They also went great with a highball. ・Stir-fried chicken and vegetables (forgot the name) A dish of tender chicken pakora and stir-fried vegetables with an ethnic-style vinegar chicken flavor. It was very delicious. Since I already enjoyed chicken, I decided to skip the Tandoori Chicken and opted for curry instead. ・Poo Pha Pong Curry (comes with rice) A Thai curry of crab and egg stir-fry with a creamy and mild egg base. The acidity of the tomatoes kept it interesting till the end. I had some rice left, so I added a half portion of Indian curry. ・Keema Kasuri Meti A taste you can't get at home! I wanted to try it with naan, but I was too full to do so. I would love to come back for a solo dinner since the dinner set is still around 1,000 yen. For dessert, I had Tapioca Coconut Milk and Indian Masala Tea. It had a soothing and gentle flavor. The portions on the regular menu are quite generous. The prices for alcohol are also reasonable. What a great place! The calm atmosphere with a simple rectangular layout without partitions or columns makes it perfect for gatherings of fewer than 50 people. There are still many dishes I want to try, so I definitely want to visit again.

I went to an Oriental restaurant in Takadanobaba with my friends. They offer a lunch menu where you can choose from Thai and Indian cuisine, and the restaurant was bustling.
