• Cambodian • South End

Booked 33 times today

The Elephant Walk serves Award-Winning Cambodian and French cuisine with extensive vegetarian and gluten-free selections. Cambodian cooking is beautiful and delicious, but still rare in America. Less hot and sweet than Thai, richer and more complex than Vietnamese, the complex spice pastes that are the foundation of many Cambodian dishes reflect Cambodia’s Indian ancestry (but use fresh rather than dried spices). Our Cambodian and French selections encompass both traditional and original dishes created by our Chef Nadsa de Monteiro, who was raised in Phnom Penh speaking both Cambodian and French and subsequently lived in France for many years. Our Cambodian-and-French theme is an authentic reflection of our roots!

First time at Elephant Walk and it was absolutely delicious! Was very excited to try this cuisine and it did not disappoint. Ordered both the Rouleaux and Porc Diplomat (per our waiters recommendation) and they were fabulous. Look forward to going back!

If you’re looking for BBQ dishes this is definitely the place to go! The ambience is amazing. Gather a couple of your best friends and I promise you’ll have a great time. I left until they closed so that’s saying something 😉
