About Hungry Elephant Indian Takeaway

On Ponthir Road in Caerleon, Hungry Elephant Indian Takeaway serves the area on a walk-in basis with no reservations needed. Chicken tikka masala is a regular order, and the tandoori mixed grill offers a larger option for sharing. Vegetable samosas start the menu, and chicken biryani comes topped with grilled onions. Garlic naan rounds out the sides. Vegetarian diners can choose from korma and other curry options, and the counter staff accommodate dietary restrictions including dairy and nut allergies. The takeaway operates from a newly furbished space on the site.

Customer Review Summary

Chicken biryani draws repeated praise, with reviewers highlighting the grilled onion topping and calling it consistently flavorful, while the chicken tikka masala comes up close behind as a repeated favorite, though one reviewer found it heavier on turmeric than expected. Diners also single out the tandoori mixed grill and garlic naan, and several mention curries being catered to dietary needs like vegan, dairy, and nut allergies without issue. Most describe food arriving hot, fresh, and well packaged, with drivers and staff called friendly and efficient. One dissenting account describes a very different experience: a delivery an hour late, a missing item, and a foreign object found in the meal, with the reviewer saying a refund and £10 voucher were issued for the missing item but follow up on the other complaint went unanswered. Aside from that account, reviewers repeatedly return for the curries, with one noting a full table of eleven diners all satisfied with their meals.
