Blue Elephant, The Boulevard, Imperial Wharf, Townmead Road, London, SW6 2UB

What was once a veritable jungle complete with river, nestled across the road from Fulham Broadway station, is now a restaurant with plants in the slightly hard-to-get-to location of Imperial Wharf. 
That being said, I personally thought that it looked beautiful, though Moose Head was a little disappointed. Granted, it was Moose Head's birthday and she was yearning for the wow-factor of old. Still, she had an awesome night, so the quantity of shrubbery and presence of catfish turned out to be irrelevant. 

Despite the large party, the staff were on-the-ball: orders taken and delivered with minimal fuss, courteous without being awkwardly over friendly and their outfits made my wedding dress look boring. 

There is a vegetarian section for Veggiesaurs, though it's a bit tofu heavy for my liking. Still, each dish was tasty, tasty, tasty...bar the first one of minced mushrooms in filo pastry (Khang Khao Phuak). It was a little....squidgier than I or Orangaphant expected. The 3-Flavoured-Towhu and Massaman made up for the disappointing start and I would have ended the night with dessert but it was getting late and Orangaphant, the ambassadors for Najaf and I, were in serious danger of missing our trains home.

Veggie Friendly: 5/5
