Sarah H and I came in for lunch today because we've been both wanting to try it for a while. The restaurant was bustling when we arrived so we waited line and ordered our lunch. I settled on the Elephant Curry Bowl, recommended by the cashier and Sarah ordered the Daily Burger which was a sweet potato burger today and a pomegranate lemonade. We took our table market and found a place to sit and chatted while we waited for our food. \n\nHer lemonade came out first. It looked like the pomegranate was fresh squeezed. I forget her exact words but something like it was interesting. She drank most of it, but not all. Also, the glass of lemonade was on the small side. Not what I would expect for $3. Our meals came out and my Elephant Bowl looked good. Yellow curry with lots of fresh vegetables and brown rice and tofu. Everything I like. Maybe I should have just ended the meal there before the disappointment set in. For a curry it was terribly bland and strangely enough made my tongue numb. I ended up bringing the majority of it home and spiced it up a bit so I could finish it. I had a bite of Sarah's burger and it was pretty good. It tasted predominately of sweet potatoes and lentils, but I enjoy both of those. She had the root vegetable fry's on the side and those were good as well seasoned with rosemary. \n\nI would like to try this place again. I noticed that many of the reviews were not good for many's first visit but then improved with their second. It might be good for Abu J with his vegan/supermodel diet. I'm curious what he'll think of it.
