About The Greedy Elephant
On the High Street in Godalming, The Greedy Elephant serves Thai food across a 25-dish menu without table reservations, seating diners as they arrive. Pad Thai Noodles and Chilli Basil Stir Fry sit alongside Cashew Nut and Garlic Stir Fry preparations, with Oyster Sauce and Boost With Steamed Rice rounding out the options for those building a rice-based plate. The kitchen runs Monday through Saturday and stays closed on Sundays. Orders are taken on a walk-in basis, so seating depends on availability at the time of arrival rather than an advance booking.

“My brother and I treated our mum to a birthday dinner at The Greedy Elephant last week and the food was out of this world. We opted for a big sharer plate to eat between us, the most decadent cocktails and dessert. The wait staff were ever so helpful and friendly. They were kind enough to provide my mum with a free birthday dessert (lit candle included) and to sing happy birthday to her, along with us. I would thoroughly recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes Thai food and excellent service. Special thanks goes to the younger gentleman who served us with a smile on his face. He was particularly kind and generous but all of them were so lovely and gave us a wonderful evening. We will definitely be returning soon!”

“An excellent Thai restaurant. Everything was the best version: the prawn crackers were lovely, the seafood dish was great, as were the sides and starters. Very respectful and kind service. We really felt that we mattered. A big thank you to the serving and kitchen staff. We will definitely come back.”

“Such a lovely restaurant, delicious Thai food, and excellent service! The lovely man we had the delight of looking after our party of 8 was absolutely fantastic and a credit to your team! Everyone was lovely, welcoming, polite and knowledgeable about the menu, the man who took care of us stood out especially and we all felt he went above and beyond to make our evening special, we celebrated my mums birthday and all had a lovely time, the starters were so lovely and the food was all so hot and fresh, the mains followed not to long after and were all lovely! I had the vegetable pad Thai which was superb! , everyone enjoyed their food so much. I’m sorry we didn’t catch our waiters name but thank you to him for making our evening extra lovely with he’s warm, welcoming and friendly personality! And for saving the day with mums birthday cake! We all look forward to returning soon! 🫶🏻✨”

“Food is delicious, perhaps a little overpriced considering the portion size. We went for a valentines lunch a booked at 1pm, the kitchen closed at 2pm and the restaurant closed at 2:30pm so we felt slightly hurried out the door as we were the last ones there. Don’t understand why on one of the busiest date days in the calendar and on a saturday, they aren’t open for longer during the day. The turned away multiple couples turning up after 1:30”
