The Greedy Elephant Thai Cuisine & Cafe, at 44 Talbot Street in Geraldine, is a coffee shop by morning and an authentic Thai restaurant for lunch and dinner. Mornings bring coffee, pies, pastries and slices, while the rest of the day the kitchen switches over to a full Thai menu, available to eat in or take away.
The Thai side of the menu covers a genuinely wide range, from starters like Spring Rolls and Fish Cakes through to stir-fries, curries and noodle dishes. Cashew Chicken, Beef Cashew and Sizzling Beef sit alongside Red Curry and Green Curry, while Pad Thai, Drunken Noodle and Fried Rice cover the noodle and rice side of things. There's a Tofu Stir Fry for vegetarian diners, and more distinctive dishes like Duck Roti and Prawn Twister for those after something a little different.
Online ordering makes it easy to get a Thai takeaway sorted ahead of time, and the cafe side of the business, with its scones, muffins and pastries, gives Geraldine a reliable morning coffee stop as well as a dinner destination.
The Greedy Elephant Thai Cuisine & Cafe, on Talbot Street in Geraldine, runs two lives in one space. In the mornings, it's a coffee shop serving coffee, pies, pastries and slices, before switching over for lunch and dinner into a full, authentic Thai restaurant.
The Thai menu covers a lot of ground for a small-town restaurant. Spring Rolls and Fish Cakes open things up, while the mains stretch across stir-fries like Cashew Chicken, Beef Cashew and Sizzling Beef, curries including Red Curry and Green Curry, and noodle dishes such as Pad Thai and Drunken Noodle. Fried Rice rounds out the rice options, and a Tofu Stir Fry gives vegetarian diners a solid option on the menu.
Beyond the familiar Thai staples, The Greedy Elephant also serves a couple of more distinctive dishes — Duck Roti and Prawn Twister — giving regulars something to explore beyond the usual curry-and-noodle rotation.
Before the Thai menu kicks in, The Greedy Elephant operates as a straightforward coffee shop, with coffee alongside pies, pastries, slices, scones and muffins. It's a setup that gives Geraldine both a reliable morning coffee stop and an evening dinner option in the same building.
Whether you're after a sit-down Thai dinner or a quick coffee and pastry to go, The Greedy Elephant caters to both, and online ordering is available for anyone who wants their Thai food ready for pickup.
The Greedy Elephant is open Tuesday to Sunday from 10.30am to 2.30pm and again from 4pm to 8pm, and is closed on Mondays.
