The Golden Elephant is a Thai restaurant at 190 Saintfield Road in Belfast. It serves both lunch and dinner on selected days, with a comfortable dining room and takeaway service for guests who want traditional Thai food at the restaurant or at home.
Starters such as spring rolls, Thai fish cakes and chicken satay lead into hot and sour soups and vibrant salads. Chilli, citrus, herbs and coconut are used to create the balance of heat, sweetness, salt and acidity associated with Thai cooking.
Pad Thai, fragrant curries and sizzling meat dishes provide the heart of the menu, with duck, prawns, chicken, beef and vegetables available across different preparations. Coconut rice and other sides help complete a meal and offer a gentler contrast to spicier dishes.
The restaurant has received Thai Select recognition for the authenticity of its cuisine. Heat levels vary and recipes can include peanuts, fish sauce, shellfish, soy and gluten, so diners with allergies or dietary restrictions should discuss their needs with staff before ordering.
