Red Elephant @Sydenham — Local services in Christchurch

This would have to be the best Thai restaurant I have ever been to!! Service was on point, the guy who served me was so awesome, so polite & attended so respectfully to what I ordered as I added extras & he met my requirements with no fuss! And oh yummy the food was soooo delicious. This will be my go to for Thai food from now on for sure. Needs to be more people like this guy around, some of the service you get at other places is pretty poor with poor quality of food but not this place. I would highly recommend this place to others. Well done...

It was heaped with sugar, coconut cream and potatoes, blasting you with cheap fatty richness and carbs with a mega portion of rice but meagre breast portion of chicken, the complexity of a curry is reduced to a carb, fat, sugar fix. 'fast' asian takeaways doesnt mean its should be done carelessly, especially when the price is close to dine-in level. If you do plan to still come here, try...

Veg penang. Med.

Far too spicy for a medium and no lemongrass flavour or pengang flavour. Just spice and milky. Veges are yummy would be perfect if it was medium and had more flavour especially lemon grass as this is in most of the penang curries I get across the city.

Curry puffs were amazing needed more sweet chilli as the curry puffs are...
