Wow the vegan food is here is fantastic full stop, and it's such a lovely surprise in an area without a ton of great vegan options. The poutine (without curds) and malai kofta were my favorites (both exceptional), but the pakoras and forager spring rolls were great too.Vegetarian options: Several fantastic vegan options
We ordered burgers - classic and impossible burger with kale salad and brussel sprouts. Fabulous food and environment. Quick and delightful service. Very clean. We will be back.

The meal was fantastic.We had the Crab Rangoon, Tempura shrimp, and the Butter Paneer.All were wonderful.Enjoyed the drink selection.
I haven’t been this disappointed in an establishment in years… and I rarely write negative reviews, but I feel this one is justified.Every time we visit Thomas or DCL, we always say how we have to try Elender’s! Well, the time finally came a few weeks back and let’s just say it was a mighty underwhelming experience. The fact that a hair ended up so deeply embedded in my vegan bahn mi was an unexpected and jarring turn of events.I would also note that this is not a full-service restaurant even though the price tag may say otherwise. You order at the bar and they bring your food out to your table, so be prepared to go back up each time you need a refill or require assistance from staff.It has great potential and they seem to be doing something right based off other reviews, but I sadly won’t be back to give it another try. One-and-done sort of deal.

Really interesting and creative global menu options. The design and decorations are welcoming and cozy. We ordered the poutine to start, then rabbit ramen and one of the burgers for mains. Poutine was innovative and I really enjoyed the textures and flavors. The burger was perfectly cooked with some of the best spicy sauce I've had. The ramen, however, was sorely disappointing and quite overpriced. Rabbit was not flavorful and tasted more like turkey. Broth under seasoned and also not enough.Overall we had a great dinner, but I would stick with the burgers next time.

Got the Tempeh Banh Mi and the Gobi Manchurian. They were vegan and delicious! Friendly and timely service, too. Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed this place and the food was great! They were short staffed so there was a bit of a wait, but it was worth it!
FYI Elender's is closed for vacation until December. Tried to go on 11/3 and was surprised by a note on the door. Will be back to try when in town again and hopefully will keep the 5 stars!

Food was fantastic minus the fried rice which was…meh. Concepts and constructs for the dishes were lovely and delectable. Felt it was really strange to order from the hipster bartender - and pay when ordering plus leaving the tip at the same time since we were all uncertain if the tips were split between the bartender and the various hidden food runners ?But I will say- this place is a SOLID MUST TRY. I was more than pleased with the food we were provided. Top notch eats with minimal critiques.Vegetarian options: You can read the seasonal menu yourselves ?

This is an excellent spot in the small town of Thomas. The environment is warm and welcoming and there’s plants everywhere! Got the brussels, bacon, and bleu appetizer and it was delicious. The rabbit broth ramen is legitimately one of the best ramens I’ve ever had! The staff was very friendly and the have good beer options. Highly recommend!

I’ve been here several times, and each time I wonder how are they gonna make it taste as good as the last time. And each time I am blown away by how incredibly fresh, tasty, satisfying, and mouth watering their food is. Hats off to the chefs! They make food like an artist is making art ✨
