Elephant Trail - Avon

Takeout review: I've had takeout twice from here and so far so good. I drive by it all the time, one of these days I'll drop in. The building looks pretty nice and nestled on the Farmington River. For starters, I always get the curry puffs which had mixed veggies, curry spices, in a puff pastry; these were so good dipped in their special sweet and tangy sauce. I'm a huge pad Thai fan so I had their chicken pad Thai and it was one of the best. The flavor and textures were on point. The second time, I had their crispy chicken pad Thai; I didn't like that one because the chicken wasn't crispy or flavorful and the noodles were very dry and flavorless. They might've had an off night? Judging on the first pad Thai meal I had, I know they have potential. Will I order from them again? Yes! Looking forward to trying out their other dishes too.

The Pad Thai I received from delivery had no sauce on it. It was dry and not flavorful. Delivery was an hour past the original delivery time received. Probably will not order from them again.

I like Thai food...most of them have a consistent flavour profile. This one is no different than the blue elephant trail or the green papaya or the king and I or the hot basil or prai Thai. Go to any go to all..similar menu and similar taste. Can't ding them and give them less than 4 but can't give them 5 either.

I love a good Drunkin Noodle and Elephant Trail gave me just that !! It is a nice classy restaurant decorated beautifully inside. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. I got the drunkin noodle with shrimp. I loved it there was a great amount of big gulf shrimp !! The taste was delicious the noodles were cooked just like I like them !! I will definitely be back to try more dishes!!! I definitely recommend The Elephant Trail

I wanted to love this place, but I was so disgusted with the cleanliness, that it was very difficult. The floors were visibly dirty and my feet were squeaking when I walked because they were sticky. The wall next to where we were eating was covered in food. The bathroom looks like it hadn't been deep cleaned in years. Then there was no way to actually clean your hands sufficiently because there was only a filthy automatic hand dryer and no paper towels, also meaning you had to open the germ infested door knob with your newly washed hands. The table had sticky sauce on it from the last person that sat there. The 3 of us ordered Tom Yum soups. Mine and my husband's came with the bento box. The friend we were with got his soup about 10 minutes before we did for some reason. His got cold waiting for ours to come out. Then when I got it, I had a couple of sips and really didn't care for it. It was very spicy and didn't smell right, so I didn't eat it. The bento boxes came out. It was okay. It was mostly cold and there were no knives on the table to cut our chicken. We both ate about half of our food. It was meh, and service took forever, especially for not being busy.
