White Elephant | Indian Bar & Banquet

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!

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.
