The Big Elephant Kitchen

Lamb curry, comes with lentils and rice - $12

I usually don't choose lamb because of that funky, gamey taste, but after eating Big Elephant's Saturday Special lamb curry, I would come back and order that same dish again. The plate was truly phenomenal and my insides glowed with every swallow. The lentils were mild, only to not outshine the main attraction -- the lamb curry. The lamb was perfectly stewed, tender, and salty. Combined in one spoonful of rice and a smattering of mint cilantro chutney, it was pure comfort in my mouth. It is usually served with a cabbage salad, but they generously allowed me to sub the salad for more lentils. It also comes with a chewy, warm turmeric-colored roti. The proportions were enough for two people. I highly recommend!

Plate comes with lentils over rice, salad, and a roti on the side.

We got the chickpea curry and the daily vegan special curry (happened to be tofu). They were both really good! Roti and salad were yum as well

Before I finished eating I had to write a review as the food is SO DANG GOOD.

I am kicking myself for not trying this food cart sooner. The person who helped us couldn't have been nicer. The food was HOT upon pickup and smelled AMAZING through the container.

It's tricky to find outstanding takeout that has vegan options. This is the place. We got the vegan curry (papaya--AMAZING), Bagjiya Pokura, vegan samosas. Everything was so flavorful with some heat but not too much (I'm a spice weenie), just the right amount of spice for me. I can't even describe how delicious every single thing was. Like flavor explosions in your mouth.

If you're looking to try something new, I can't recommend more! So yummy! I'll be ordering again soon!

The food here is spicy, but bland. It sounds ridiculous, but the flavor just wasn't there despite some of the dishes having spice. I think they could have benefited A LOT from investing in a box of salt.

I had the three vegan entree meal and everything in it was lackluster. A few of the items were pretty spicy, but still lacked actual flavor. I was also disappointed by the lack of protein. There were approximately 4 bites of lentils, but that just doesn't make for a balanced meal. I don't really see myself returning as there are much better options in the Village.

We visited the place on a weekday and during off lunch times so it was not busy. We got the chicken samosas. The had a good taste and came with two sauces. One was good and the other was ok. We did not try any other items. But they are in a location where there are multiple options to eat and have a great evening. Not a 5 but may be 4.5/5

The food here is fantastic, it's Fijian and Indian fusion so it's a little different. I frequent this spot and have tried almost every vegan curry they have made. The good ones are phenomena and the "not so good" are still better than most. Seriously, they don't miss. The ingredients are fresh and it's relatively healthy. The Pumpkin curry is still my favorite.
I see reviews talking about how spicy the food is, I'll admit it's spicier than most but it's hardly spicy.

Never disappointed eating at big elephant! Such great food and huge portions! We're lucky to have such a great family run food cart in the SW!!

I absolutely loved the chicken curry! Great flavor and it was served hot and fresh! Talking with them, one of the owners is a Marine and his wife is an amazing cook and inspires the amazing flavor! So great people serving great food!

I was blown away by the deliciousness of this food!! Between two of us we had lamb curry, casava fries (to die for!) & a vegan chickpea bowl. Yum. Owners were so kind & accommodating. Easily 5 stars & looking forward to returning to try other dishes though no matter what we order the casava fries are a must.

This awesome food truck puts out some of the best Fijian and Indian cuisine hands down. I have tried different items different days of the week (and the addiction continues). Nothing disappoints. Their family runs the cart themselves making family recipes that delight the taste buds! They make fresh Roti to every order and can customize any entree. If you're not sure of an item, they will happily offer a sample. This is not a food cart to walk by and not try!
