Two Brothers. One Kitchen. A Shared Passion.



Growing up in Britain, brothers Arm and Ot spent their childhood in their mother's Thai restaurant, surrounded by the sights, aromas and flavours of a bustling Thai kitchen.

Those early experiences sparked a lifelong passion for food and hospitality, inspiring Arm to create The Greedy Elephant.

Today, as owner and Head Chef, Arm leads the kitchen alongside his brother Ot, who brings warmth and hospitality to the dining room. Together, they celebrate their Thai heritage through traditional flavours, contemporary cooking and the best of Britain's seasonal ingredients.

My favourite thai restaurant! The food is so delicious, I don’t live locally anymore so anytime I’m anywhere near I have to go here for a meal. Last time I went I had the sweetcorn fritters, tofu red curry and shared a pad thai, it was really great.

Food was delicious, well-flavored, and cooked perfectly. The service was genuinely caring, customers were respectful and enjoying themselves. The atmosphere had charming decor, great vibes, and the restaurant was clean. A big thank you to the team. Don't forget to try the Tom Yum cocktails and lychee sorbet – they're quite special.

Visited here for dinner and had really good time. Good array of options on the menu and the food we had was very tasty. Their mocktails are also very good. Staff were friendly and attentive, regularly coming to the table to see if we wanted our water topped up or if we needed anything else

Last night’s one of the most delicious meals I’ve ever eaten. The flavours were intoxicating! Highly recommend the seafood sizzling platter, mixed vegetables in oyster sauce and the beef and cashew
nuts. The service was also impeccable, the staff a delight, knowledgeable and very very professional.
