Elevant - a cosy place

Elevant is an Indian restaurant situated on Vene street in the Old Town of Tallinn. Entering the front door a high spiral staircase takes you to the first floor. The interior decoration is done using natural materials only. It gives a very cosy atmosphere. There is also something slightly colonial about this place.

Comparing the food with another Indian restaurant next door called Tanduur, the food is better in the latter. Prices and atmosphere are better in Elevant. The food is good, no strongly memorable culinary experience, but good. The main courses are always served with rice and bread and salad. The salad is a bit unexpectedly a plate of sliced onions. Some of the food in the menu is nicely spicy as it should be in an Indian restaurant. Compared to the Indian restaurants I have tried in China, the Estonian Indian restaurants have adapted to the local taste and there is nothing really too hot. So to sum it up, it is a nice place to go.
