Excellent service from Ian, super knowledgeable and attentive especially with allergen information for coeliac and gluten free, fast service and delicious food even when busy
We’ve eaten at a Zizzi’s before, and loved it.
We had a warm welcome from Kora, served us throughout our meal.
She was very family friendly as me and my wife came with our 3 boys, came came down to their hight when talking to them, was fully and very patient.
My wife has coeliac, and their gluten Free Pizza is lovely, and very tasty.
Just been for lunch at cote leamington and left feeling really disappointed. As someone who is gluten free cote have a gf menu, which looks good, but if you're also vegetarian there is basically one thing you can eat, which is a tagine. This might have been the worst food I've been served anywhere. It was flavourless water with chickpeas in. I have had tagine many times and I dont think this can be called that. The gf bread was like cardboard. Admittedly when I raised this they took it off the bill. My daughter liked her lunch menu steak and said that was nice. Its pretty in there but the atmosphere was lacking. Also, I noticed after I left that they add a 10% service charge to the bill, meaning I paid an extra £5, which I'd prefer not to have paid seeing as I left our lunch treat having only had a glass of water! Wouldn't recommend for anyone with any dietary needs.
Best burgers and food around for sure, 100% the best Gluten free burgers by a mile , so tasty , not greasy and you really can tell the quality and care they put into making each one. Highly recommend
Fantastic service, amazing food best chippy around and even better they really take care of allergies etc being Ceoliac I have never had a problem with gluten free fish and chips. They taste exactly the same as normal ones. Highly recommend.
We had a really tasty meal, a good few gluten free and vegan options. Although some of them aren't on the menu i.e kimchi and vegan egg. It's a longer wait because the manager has to take your order if you have allergies.
The food was all delicious, the tempeh ssambap and the miso caramel ice cream were particularly scrumptious. The drinks are all really good too, though i tend to stick to non alcoholic drinks i had to admire to beauty of the pink gin. The only reason this isn't a 5 star is because it is very loud and I've always experienced a quite long wait, to be noticed or checked in on for drinks or to pay. It's a shame that you can't order for delivery if you have allergies.
Its a shame they are unable to provide gluten-free fries of any sort, but the staff and service were very polite and knowledgeable, regatding my gluten allergies
Bright & spacious, excellent service with simple, high quality meals with gluten free and vegan options. Tomato bruschetta was tasty and the vegan spaghetti puttanesca satisfying. Gluten free plates were clearly labelled. The set menu was good value at £15 for 2 courses (usually not Saturday night but a special TheFork offer) washed down with a £15.70 50cl carafe of Pinot Grigio.
Amazing cocktails, the Fire and Brimstone is a must! Excellent food with good portions at reasonable prices. Great selection of gluten-free dishes and good knowledge regarding options. Abbie was a great host and knew her stuff. We'll come again!
Had an 18th birthday party for my daughter using their private dining room.
22 guests in total.
Food was very good and all came out together. We were advised to submit our food request earlier in the day to avoid longer wait times which seemed to work out very well.
Lots of Gluten free options on the menu too.
There is a large screen TV in there which were were able to upload photos via memory stick and a Bluetooth sound bar to play our own choice of music from our phones
Simran was very hospitable to us and we were able to come in earlier in the day to decorate the room.
My only slight negative is there were a few displaced carpet tiles but this did not detract from our experience.
We will visit again.
The best restaurant in Leamington, most incredible food I've ever had. I've lived in Leamington all my life and no idea how I've missed this place, a true hidden gem.
The tapas is incredibly flavourful, I had vegan dishes and my friend had meat and fish and is also gluten free, so we can attest to the quality for veggies/vegans and meat lovers. Staff are lovely and very helpful, very relaxed atmosphere so they leave you to browse the menu at your own pace.
The decor is incredible, certaintly the best looking restaurant I've visited in a long while.
Will be coming back for definite. Highly highly recommend!!!
We were seated and asked if we had allergies, and answered yes there was a gluten allergy. Although it wasn't explained, the menu was marked as to where gluten free option was available. Unfortunately, when it came time to order, it turned out the menu was totally wrong! The server's electronic device showed that the option chosen now contains gluten. However they couldn't tell us what options on the menu were still correct, we had to look at the screen which contained shortened names of the options available then read what they actually were on the menu while the server waited awkwardly. This put pressure on chosing something else in a rush. In addition the server explained the original choice was unavailable because the meat skewers were marinated in soy sauce "but if you want to take the risk you can". Soy sauce contains gluten, so no, it's not going to be something we "take the risk" on. Some of the other options on the device were opposite to the GF on the menu which didn't inspire confidence. Our food then came out so quickly we didn't even have our drinks yet, which made us feel rushed again. The GF tortilla wraps were not appetising at all. Please address the issues with the menu and put some time into training regarding allergies. This sort of issue is why we hardly ever go out to eat anymore and this special occasion was spoilt. We quickly left and went elsewhere for pudding. Take a leaf out of Wagamama's book, they seem to have taken the experience of eating out with allergies seriously.
Atmosphere -wise, it was nearly empty other than large groups of drinkers, we were seated in what felt like a corridor and the walls next to my arm were filthy with splashes of food/drink. I wouldn't visit again even if we didn't have the issues around the menu.
In short I would say it's one of, if not the best place in Leamington Spa for an incredible Gluten-free meal and dining experience.
The Thai elephant is one of the places I've been meaning to go to for ages and I'm kicking myself now for not going in sooner. It looks amazing even from the outside but wow, it's absolutely stunning inside, especially if you have an appreciation for fine woodwork/ furniture making.
Of corse i did not go in to just to look at the decor but it's definitely mention worthy.
We went in for lunch yesterday, I asked at the front if they catered for allergies as i have a few and need to be especially careful to avoid gluten (inc cross contamination). They were so helpful, they looked through the menu and checked with the kitchen and told me i had quite a few options so we took a seat.
There were quite a few options, more than I had even hoped for so to make things easier we had a look at the lunchtime set menu specials and again i wasn't disappointed with gluten free, vegan and vegetarian options.
The satay starters were so deliciously moreish, beautifully marinated succulent skewers of creamy peanutty heaven cooked to perfection, I could easily of eaten them a few times over.
For a starter of a set menu (under £15 for 2 corses), it was fantastic and a decent portion.
For mains we had the sweet and sour chicken and the Thai green curry, both came with a bowl of steamed rice. They were both simply delicious. Now I do love sweet and sour in most of it's glorious forms so this was an easy choice for me and again it didn't disappoint. It had everything you'd expect, very flavoursome but also very light and delicate.
I think it's great that they served our food in the middle of the table as it was easier to try both dishes and I'm so happy i did. The Thai green curry was incredibly delicious, deep, rich, fresh, light, aromatic and creamy with a pleasant amount of spiciness. Again very moreish and decent portion sizes.
We finished everything and left feeling happy and satiated.
There was no service charge added to the bill, though prosecco and I did leave a nice, well deserved tip.
From the moment we stepped in there the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The music is mellow, the atmosphere is lovely, it's clean and well kept and has lots of lovely plants that must take some looking after. It seems really well run, even the little touches like the plates were warm and the glasses were chilled are very much appreciated.
I thoroughly enjoyed everything about dining at the Thai elephant and will most definitely and unsurprisingly, be returning.
This is the best Thai food in town, in my opinion. The staff is great too. My first preference by a long shot for getting comfort food in Leamington! Great gluten free options.
Great dining experience.
I am diagnosed as coeliac so have to eat a gluten free diet for health reasons. This is not always easy but here at Elma it was great. The toung waiter who served us was very knowledgeable and advised that most of the menu could be adapted to cater for me and oh boy, they did that with bells on. The food was fab, I was served gluten free pitta bread to go along with my delicious starter, my main was out of this world but sadly I didn't have room for dessert so can't comment.
A very delicious and safe dining experience, highly recommended.
Lovely place to grab a quick and reasonable priced balanced meal. I'm gluten free and the staff were very helpful to accommodate dietary needs and explain what what suitable for me to choose.
Lighting was a bit overwhelming but the food and service was great!
The garlic mushrooms and the giant prawns were incredible! They even provided me with Gluten Free bread! They said they're printing a new menu soon - I hope it has more consistency between the menu and the allergen tables! Only thing that wasn't good - my friend had a vegan moussaka and said it wasn't nice and sent it back. The garlic mushrooms and giant prawns though.... I'll be back for those again soon!!
