Nestled in the heart of Altea, Indian Elephant offers a unique dining experience that blends the vibrant flavors of India with the fresh, local ingredients of the Mediterranean. This fusion of two culinary worlds creates an unforgettable experience for food lovers, combining the best of both Indian and Mediterranean cuisines.
The Fusion Concept
At Indian Elephant, we believe that food is more than just sustenance—it’s an experience that reflects the culture and history of its origins. Our fusion concept takes traditional Indian dishes and enhances them with Mediterranean touches, creating a menu that is both familiar and exciting. Whether it’s the use of locally sourced vegetables, fresh herbs, or the incorporation of Mediterranean-style grilling techniques, each dish is designed to bring out the best of both culinary traditions.
Signature Dishes with a Twist
Our menu is crafted to showcase this fusion. Take, for example, our Grilled Tandoori Sea Bass—a popular Indian dish infused with a Mediterranean twist, grilled to perfection and served with a side of fresh Altea greens. Our Mediterranean Chicken Curry combines traditional Indian spices with local Mediterranean ingredients, offering a lighter, yet deeply flavorful version of a classic curry.
Vegetarians will love our Roasted Vegetable Jalfrezi, where Mediterranean veggies like zucchini and bell peppers are stir-fried in a tangy Indian sauce. Even our naan bread gets a Mediterranean makeover with toppings like sun-dried tomatoes and olives.
A Culinary Journey
Dining at Indian Elephant is more than just a meal—it’s a culinary journey that takes you from the vibrant streets of India to the sun-drenched coasts of the Mediterranean. The restaurant’s ambiance reflects this fusion as well, with decor that combines traditional Indian art with Mediterranean influences, creating an inviting and cozy atmosphere for guests to relax and enjoy.
