White Elephant is our go-to Thai takeaway in Calgary. We have tried nearly every option in our city and this place is the best by far. The curries have an amazing depth and richness. The vegetables are always cooked to perfection. The coconut rice is fragrant and delicious. Most importantly, our children love the food! Our order is always the same: Yellow curry with beef, Green curry with eggplant and chicken, Sweet and sour pork (for the kids) and three large coconut rice. This is enough food for 4-5 adults. Or in our case, dinner and leftovers for lunch the next day!

Let’s just start out by saying that even though the entrance and area around this restaurant is a bit sketchy, the food. HOLY MOTHER OF THAI. definitely some of the best Thai I have had in Canada. Even though wait times are a bit long to get in, once you’re in you are exposed to the quintessential ‘hole in the wall’ experience. Service was friendly, even though it was a bit slow. If you’re hungry, just get the regular rice instead of the Pineapple fried rice that we ordered (11/10 would recommend by the way). The curries were outstanding. Be aware that even the mild spice option has a decent kick to it. Do carry cash on hand, as they do not accept credit or debit. There is an ATM in the hotel lobby to use, but it will charge you the 2$ for service fees.

We do takeaway from here for special occasions since it's so far North from us but hands down the best Thai food I've tried in Calgary. The only thing I'm not a huge fan of is the pad Thai (I've had better) but the rest of my family really likes it. Their curries are all delicious, especially panang and yellow and they are gluten free! Also love their spicy prawns and spicy noodles. They take cash or debit, not credit cards.

Wow! I always order the spiciest in most restaurants because most places don't get hot enough. Their level 5 was to my tastes truly spicy and the flavour was fantastic. Next time we are trying spice level 4. We had the spicy prawns, a curry chicken and coconut rice.

This is the best Thai place in the city. Their dishes are so flavourful and delicious. No other Thai place compares for me now.. but go early the wait gets crazy!
