Easily one of the BEST Indian restaurants in the Lehigh Valley!
We recently tried this fairly new spot and were blown away. The ambiance is modern and welcoming, and while the open-concept setup inside the hotel doesn’t offer much privacy, it honestly didn’t take away from our experience at all. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel comfortable from the moment we sat down.
Now the food — absolutely phenomenal. The Afghani Chicken Tikka was tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The Shaam Savera was rich, unique, and easily one of the standout dishes of the night. And the Bullet Naan? Pure perfection. Soft, buttery, and with the perfect kick.
This place has quickly become our favorite in the Lehigh Valley. Highly, highly recommend!

Hi, I’m sharing my experience as someone who loves fresh and healthy food — and this place truly impressed me. The grilled dishes were flavorful yet light, paired with fresh veggies and vibrant sauces that made everything feel clean and satisfying. I left feeling energized, not heavy. If you enjoy mindful eating without compromising on taste, this spot is definitely worth trying!

Thecha Paneer was a really flavorful and well-presented starter that stood out right away. The paneer cubes were nicely grilled with a light char on the edges, giving them a smoky taste while still staying soft and juicy inside. The spicy thecha-style seasoning added a bold kick without overpowering the natural richness of the paneer, and the fresh green chutney balanced the heat perfectly with a refreshing touch. The grilled pineapple on the side was a smart addition — slightly sweet and tangy, it complemented the spice and made each bite more interesting. Overall, it felt like a creative twist on classic paneer, both visually appealing and packed with flavor — a great choice if you enjoy something spicy, vibrant, and different from regular tikka-style dishes.

We had a great time at white elephant. We ordered thecha paneer, panipuri, lotus root chaat and paneer angara with naans and everything was delicious!! Our server Shaab was attentive and went above and beyond to make sure we all including little kids enjoyed food and our experience. The bar lady also made non-alcoholic fruit punch for kiddo upon our request. Our request will be to add more vegetarian options and kid appopriate drinks to the menu. Overall we had great experience. The price is on the steeper side but the experience made it worthwhile.

I am so happy I tried this place in the hotel! The gentleman who took my order explained the dish I was eyeing (Saag Burrata) and then recommended a specific naan to go along with the dish. It was all incredibly delicious! The burrata melting into the saag and spooning it over the spiced naan was such a home run for me! I am happy, full, and am going to sleep so well tonight!

Last month visited twice, and it completely exceeded my expectations. The food was amazing — full of rich, authentic flavors and perfectly spiced. The naan was fresh, the curries were delicious, and every dish felt like it was made with real care.

The restaurant is inside the hotel. Upscale and fancier than your typical Indian restaurant. Food tasted really good and fresh. We got the garlic naan, chicken biryani and Shaam savera. Not busy at all. The server was really nice.

The new Indian restaurant around is well worth a visit. Our dinner was delicious, presentation was beautiful and we were served quickly enough. Service staff was attentive but not overbearing. I dropped one star from atmosphere as it’s a bit loud and there was a wedding while we were there but it wasn’t super bad.
All in all it’s absolutely worth dining here, we loved it!

I ordered twice from this restaurant using DoorDash.
First time I ordered Dal Bukhara and Paneer Angara which were good however on second day I ordered Kokam Branzino, Dal Tadka, and Jackfruit Biryani, nothing was good.
I would say the Jackfruit Biryani was worst I ever had. They say it’s House Exclusive however it was like they just mixed white rice and jackfruit curry, nowhere it was like Biryani or taste like Biryani. You can see the pic I attached.
Kokam Branzino is completely different than what we see in pics. It came in yellow curry instead of red shown in their menu and it was little sweet in taste, not worth the price.
Dal Tadka is again nowhere close to what they show in the menu and taste was also not even okay, don’t know how it’s marked as a best seller.
Dal Bukhara was definitely very tasty.
The restaurant is very pricey and not worth it when it comes to taste and quality. I already tried twice and come to the conclusion that I will not order again from this restaurant and also will not recommend if you really want authentic taste.

I recently had the pleasure of attending an event at the White Elephant Indian Bar and Banquet, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The ambiance was warm and inviting, perfect for both intimate gatherings and large celebrations. The staff were attentive and knowledgeable, eager to recommend beverages that would suit individual tastes.The culinary offerings were the highlight of the evening. The menu featured a diverse range of authentic Indian dishes, each bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. Avocado Bhel is a must try! Overall, the Indian Bar and Banquet provided a wonderful experience, combining great food, excellent service, and a vibrant atmosphere. Highly recommended!
