Elephant Plate — Restaurant in Millburn

I stumbled upon the Millburn store this past Sunday and purchased the Moroccan Stew. It was so delicious. I was able to get 2 servings. I went back yesterday and picked up the cocoberry waffles, beetroot sliders, rainbow glass noodle japchae and more Moroccan Stew.

I tried the waffles this morning. OMG. Ok, so 4 waffles come in the container. I toasted 2 which was enough for me but I had a 3rd because they were delicious, not to mention the strawberry dip 😍. I didn't feel sleepy after eating them, which is the case when I eat other waffles claiming to be gluten free.

Trying to find food that fit within my dietary restrictions and that do not cause adverse effects to my body is challenging.

You cannot beat it. Delicious and healthy food at affordable prices. Thank you Elephant Plate. I'll be back when I run out of...

As a six months pregnant women on the road, I was hoping to have some warm food right away, not microwave and eat later. If this was clearly advertised to be the case, I would never have ordered or stopped by. Kind of misleading.

Second, we got three dishes two of which we couldn’t eat right away. My husband and I decided to nibble on the cold / raw jackfruit quesadillas as we were hungry and within the first 3 bites, I got a big plastic piece in my mouth. I was seriously appalled by this, and frankly fed up at this point. I brought the food back and received my money. But there is no price to this experience and frustration and I will never be able to overlook and come...

We’ve been coming to Elephant Plate for the last 3 weeks and are happy to say the business model is smart, the meals are fresh, wholesome and delicious and the staff is friendly. We appreciate that they try to source their ingredients and products/merch locally and from small businesses. After speaking with the owner today it’s obvious that personal and global awareness and responsibility are at the heart of what they are doing at Elephant Plate. Minimizing waste, growing community through connection and offering conscious mindful choices to consumers seem to be the destination, the food is just the vehicle. It just happens to be GOOD! Stop in, speak with the owner and know you are investing in a mission...
