"Being in Strasbourg, my colleagues wanted to take me to an Indian for my opinion. This is what they thought was the best in the area and I would agree with them. Not far from the tram station minutes walk) and just behind Alexandros...this is hidden in an alley. First impressions were good with the restaurant clean and decorated well. The food as is expected has been modified to suit the region which means you will come across the unusual experience of cheese being present in nearly every dish e.g Choley (Chickpeas) with paneer. It was not to my suiting but my colleagues liked it so I suppose I am not the target audience. The food was fresh and the taste was as you would expect. They offer good Desi (Indian) tea so I would recommend you try it if you have the chance. While it cannot be compared to the restaurants in the UK where there is a larger sub-continental population and therefore more traditional taste this is not by any means a bad place as long as you don't raise your expectations too high. It's a good family run restaurant with good service and a large variety of food. Run by a Punjabi family who knows what they are cooking, this is a good place to try if you would like to sample Indian food and are in the Alsace area. P.S: I would recommend checking with the manager if the food is Halal before dining. If you are not satisfied with the response the vegetarian section is still tasty and has a decent variety"

unspectacular. friendly. you can feel the family management of the restaurant. highly recommended: chicken cheese and chicken mango. view from the parking lot towards the kitchen does not seem inviting.

Really surprised by the wonderful and fast service.Beautiful location, which is not directly in the city min walk), that's why it is really calm and relaxing.Perfect for long stays. Also the food was delicious for a really good price. There is also the possibility...to sit outside on the terrace

Last I reviewed this restaurant, it was in Three years later back in Kehl we dropped by to see if the restaurant was still open. Yes, it was! So we ended up ordering a chicken curry take-out for old times take. Although we had...ordered one serving, it was plenty for two people. It came with a small salad and a papadum. We ordered our take-out lunch at home. Glad we stopped by View menu

The one thing I like about this restaurant is the size of the tables! I know this might sound a bit strange but in many Indian restaurants the tables are just too small and you dont have enough room for everything once the dishes are...served.. well not so in the Safron Elephant! loads of room! The food I find is of good quality, tasty, not overly adapted for the European palate and the portions are just the right size. The atmosphere is calm and the staff are very very pleasant

the restaurant has actually closed on Mondays; we are new in kehl, got the tipp there to eat well Indian and stood - Mondays - in front of closed door. but the chefin came, opened us - it was the 1st mai - and said that their children would have accepted a reservation anyway, so we are also welcome. the menu is Nordic-traditional, offers a great, tasty variety also to be oriented vegetarian and also to season or preparation. eating in the north - so the chefin told us - is not as sharp as in the south. our dishes were pleasantly spicy; one tasted a certain complexity of the mixes and it was really not too sharp. to the conclusion there were very tasty spices from a vessel to support digestio...

"one of the main reasons why we decided to make a detour by strasburg during our visit to paris was this restaurant. The photos of the critics made us dirty. Unfortunately, this place was not up to the media thrashing. some of the problems arise from our ignorance of obtaining reservations and ordering the wrong article. However, these are minor grievances that we could forget if food was memorable. It wasn't. I'm sure there is a way to get good food here, but our overall experience has been really poor and in comparison, we had such good vegan food in places on which we fell during our stay in the area. the staff was very kind, but they were overworked and could not be attentive. It was very difficult to have water or service because there were not enough personnel. We would also have wished that the staff cautioned against ordering certain foods, because the items made repeated appearances between our aperitives and our dinners. I ordered a gourmet salad, I think in part because it is advertised as a vegan cheese. cheese was good, but overall, the salad was not very tasty and was incredibly overdressed. what made it especially unmangeable was a vinaigrette too sweet. pecan nuts were a good idea. Unfortunately, the salad appeared on our two plates! the absence of an English menu meant that we had ordered by mistake the soup as an aperitif. It was okay, but not what we expected. I ordered a chocolate mousse for dinner, it was good, but not incredible. There were a lot of cakes my husband was happy to try and had less eaten to save room for dessert. Here's where we met another problem. almost all the cakes and desserts contained alcohol. My husband doesn't drink. There were no small breads that we saw endless images online. Not that it was the fault of the restaurant, but it didn't help us get hungry, we didn't think we needed to get a reservation and airplanes worked 40 minutes to get there. If the food had been in first order, I would have mocked it. The restaurant is not close to the city centre, but closer to the university. We had to wait for more than an hour to be seated. If the weather was hot, it wasn't serious, but it was in the 1930s. So if you really want to go, book it! If you need a shelter waiting for this restaurant, we dragged into the lobby of a nearby bank. totally lame, but totally hot. While we were waiting to sit down, we have travelled all the refrigerated foods and the dishes to take away. We were delighted to have a lot of food to take away because we were going to be on tour the next day and we were back to betting the next day. After our disappointing meal, we chose to have only 2 pre-packed sandwiches to take away. they had nothing special - and could have used vinaigrette or mayonnaise because they were quite dry. But they were practical!"

"Wir waren mit mehreren Personen und einem Kinderwagen zum Abendessen im Restaurant-Hotel Hirsch. Die Reservierung war telefonisch kein Problem, die Ecke in der wir höflich platziert wurden war sehr gemütlich. Der Kellner war außerordentlich zuvorkommend und professionell. Er hat uns die Jacken abgenommen, den älteren Herrschaften der Runde beim Verstauen vom Rollator geholfen, einen Kinderstuhl organisiert, den Tisch erstklassig eingedeckt, er wusste die Größe der Portionen einzuschätzen, die Zutaten auswendig und die Bestellung wurde selbstredend zu 100% perfekt erfüllt. Bestellt haben wir unterschiedlichste Gerichte vom Schnitzel mit zum Lachs. Sowohl als Vorspeise als auch als Nachspeise sei „Tiegelchen und Kesselchen“ empfohlen. Gereicht werden etwa ein duzend sehr unterschiedliche Köstlichkeiten. So ist für jeden was dabei. Die Hauptspeisen fallen eher klein aus. Bei Gästen mit richtig viel Hunger reicht das evtl. nicht aus um ganz satt zu werden. Die Preise sind für den gehobenen Standart des Restaurants eher moderat. Die Dekoration des Restaurants besteht aus viel Holz sowie unzähligen Katzenstatuen und Katzenbildern. Außerdem wohnt im Restaurant ein echter über 70 Jahre alter Papagei. Dieser sitzt aber friedlich in einer Ecke und zwitschert vor sich hin. Die Toiletten befinden sich einige Treppenstufen entfernt und sind schlecht ausgeschildert. Auch die Türkennzeichnung für welches Geschlecht welche Toilette gedacht ist, ist etwas kryptisch. Die Anlagen waren alle sauber aber brauchen dringend mal eine Überholung."
