Bang Up To The Elephant

We did come in around 8 o’clock. It was definitely not busy. The staff definitely talked more than service. There is plenty of drinks to choose from the menu had a wide variety of options. The service was quick atmosphere was very different as you can see. I really liked it. The bathrooms were a bit out. That’s why I took the pictures but they were clean. I personally didn’t feel very safe in the area. The parking lot that is close this was recently sold so it was $25. No part time or half day or anything else. So I would definitely pick the metered parking closest if you can find it as long as you don’t plan on being in more than two hours.

I recommend the "Bake & Channa" and the Rice Bowl. Beautiful place with great food. Everything is nicely seasoned and the descriptions of the menu items were accurate. Our server was nice and aware of when we needed something. Great place to take photos and the booths are spacious. I didn't really like the cauliflower wings because I found them undercooked but that is probably just personal preference.

I have been eyeing this place for quite a while but hadn't has the opportunity to stop until today. I had pretty high hopes based on all of the reviews. Maybe tonight was a bad night? We started with the curry fries and fry bread. The fries were hot but the curry was cold. The flavor was excellent. The fry bread, in my opinion, had almost no flavor. They were just triangles of bread fried and served with ranch. We then ordered the stew (insane!!!! But was hoping for a bigger portion for the $17 price tag), the cubano (not much flavor and the jackfruit tasted canned). Then I ordered the mofango. I LOVE Mofongo. This one was inedible. The plantain/potato was mushed to literal baby food consistency, rolled into a lump and fried. The inside was cold and so so mushy. The sauce was great, but again cold. I ended up taking the cubano and the slaw that came with the stew home. The rest was thrown out. I am so sad I spent $77 and left most of the food there. The vibe was 100%. Beautiful decor!

I give this meal a 3.5 but it has more potential so I give 4 overall. Service was also very good. We got Buss up shut, nice flavors and a little spicy that comes with tasty corn bread. Now the coconut Curry was just average, not enough flavor, lacking some salt, and the roti it came with was very oily. Add jackfruit instead of tofu, it’s better.

Such a cool atmosphere. Had a hard time deciding what to order because everything sounded so good. Ended up choosing the dirty banana, plantains, doubles, potato and plantain mofongo, and coconut curry. The doubles and mofongo are must tries!
