The Smiling Elephant is a Thai restaurant located in Nashville that offers authentic and delicious food. The menu includes popular dishes such as Pad See Ew, chicken satay, and mango sticky rice. The Pad See Ew is particularly noteworthy, with its wide noodles and flavorful sauce. The restaurant is known for its large portions, with many customers having leftovers to take home. The service is fast, friendly, and efficient, with a mostly Thai staff.
The ambiance is cozy and charming, with a beautiful view if seated by the large windows. There is a small parking lot on the side, as well as street parking, and a bench to wait on if there is a wait time of around 20-40 minutes. The restaurant has won multiple awards for its food, particularly its Pad Thai. The only dish that may not compare to authentic Thai food is the Cashew Chicken. The Smiling Elephant is a must-try for those who are looking for delicious and authentic Thai food in Nashville.
