Recommendation
Several recommendations have come in for Rogue Elephant -artists, restaurantuers; ‘ladies who do lunch’ all rate this place highly for a quiet and calm place to have lunch. Anand the partner describes the food as ‘comfort food’ and is on hand to make a suggestion if you cannot make up your mind! The menu really is quite small but at Rogue Elephant the emphasis is on quality, why offer 100 dishes, which are ok when all you need to do is perfect just a few.
Its unfortunate they close at 5.00pm as it means those who work, probably wont get the chance to try the food, but there is an option. Rogue Elephant will cater for private parties and offer a completely bespoke service. Numbers, cuisine, location, nothing seemed to worry Anand but he did say they specialise in Indian cuisines to the west of India so your Thai is out.

P.S: You can’t book so you need to come early to get a table!

Comment:

I'm hard to please, some might say snooty, and I never forgive a restaurant that pays little or no attention to decor and ambience. But when it comes to the charming little Rogue Elephant i'm happy to throw the rulebook right out of the window. I mean, who cares about decor when you can have a home cooked meal prepared with a lot of love and care? It's like visiting a favorite aunt who pampers you, complains that you are too skinny, loads your plate with endless helpings of everything delicious and then packs you a little snack for the ride back home...

I love going back there because their hummus is made just the way i like it and so is their carrot cake and banana bread (Anand tells me i should have it with "lashings of butter"). Anand makes even the ordinary sound so very exotic with the way he describes each dish in detail and he can make you savor the sweet peach pannacotta, herb roasted chicken and the seer fish medallions "in a mildly spicy Putanesca sauce" even before you take a bite!
