Elephant Trail - Avon

The Avon location offers its own parking lot, making it convenient to visit. The restaurant is quite spacious, featuring numerous tables and booths. The staff was fantastic, and even though we made reservations just in case, we were seated right away. The decor was charming and the overall ambiance felt open and inviting. The menu had a wide array of options, including appetizers, soups, noodles, and main courses. My friend tried the calamari and loved it, mentioning that it was different from the typical fried version. I opted for spring rolls, pad Thai, and dessert—all gluten-free! They even have a gluten-free sauce available. My friend ordered the seafood fried rice, which she enjoyed as well. Overall, we were very pleased with our experience and it’s reassuring to know that there are great dining options close to home!

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 have completely fallen in love with this restaurant. The food is fantastic, the portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable. The service is delightful. When I've ordered delivery, it has always been on time and well-packaged. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful, and the outdoor seating is a nice bonus. It's conveniently located right on Route 44. My favorite dish is the crispy chicken pad Thai, but everything I've tried has been delicious. The bento box lunch special is an incredible value, offering several appetizers (soup, salad, shumai, and spring rolls) for just an extra $3, providing more than enough food for two people. The quality of the food is excellent. I’ve eaten a lot of Thai food, and this place ranks among my favorites. I will definitely order 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.
