About Red Elephant
Found at 195 Khyber Pass Road in Grafton, Red Elephant is a Thai restaurant that has become part of the Grafton dining scene. From the Auckland city centre it is roughly 1.5 km away – a short drive, bus or bike ride.
Diners come here for Thai food. If it is your first visit, look out for classics of the style such as pad Thai. With 140 Thai options across Auckland, this corner of the local food scene is well covered.
Red Elephant is open seven days a week. The earliest start is noon on Mondays, and the latest finish is 10 pm on Mondays. Like many traditional restaurants, it closes between lunch and dinner service on several days, so check the times before heading over mid-afternoon. In total it trades for about 48 hours each week.
As a rough guide, expect to spend about $20–$40 a head at a Thai restaurant like this. The neighbourhood is a busy food area – there are at least 10 other places to eat within a kilometre, so you have plenty of options for drinks before or dessert after.
