    One of our absolute favorite restaurants in Cancun. No restaurant has such a unique ambiance and we were able to sit over the water which only added to the experience. The food is absolutely fantastic. We had the lamb and the chicken, appetizers, tikka masala and garlic naan bread. Excellent all the way around. Service was incredible as well.

    If you’re in Cancun and craving bold, authentic flavors, Elefant Thai is a must-visit! This place is nothing short of spectacular—the food, the ambiance, and the overall experience transported me straight to North India. From the first bite, I knew this wasn’t just any India Thai. The depth of flavors, the perfect blend of spices, and the rich, aromatic curries reminded me of home. Their dishes have the same soul-satisfying essence as a great North Indian meal, making it the next Tikka—a new favorite for those who love flavorful, comforting food. The service was warm and welcoming, and every dish was beautifully presented. Whether you love Thai food or simply appreciate great flavors, this spot is a hidden gem in Cancun. I’d go back in a heartbeat! Must visit if you are in Cancun. Thank you Chef we will definitely visit next time.

    A very nice experience in your own palapa over the lagoon. If you like sunsets request the 5pm sitting and finish your meal with a sunset. Many good Thai options. My husband and I love the 24 hour Lentil Soup, with Basmati rice and naan. Our server was very kind and attentive.

    Given that we arrived early for our reservation they were still able to accommodate us. We ordered drinks and appetizers and right after they brought the drinks at a comfortable waiting table and sofas we were escorted to our table. It is our second time at this restaurant and I would highly recommend it. All 6 of us truly enjoyed our meals.

    The food was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere of the restaurant made you feel like you were in Thailand. The service was excellent! We will look forward to coming back. Although the lights on the tables add to the ambiance the fact that they cannot be moved makes communal dining (as you hoped people would do) very difficult.
