The Smiling Elephant

Light and healthy, this Nashville favorite for Thai food is regularly packed, but for good reason. The food is fresh, uses no MSG, and is mighty tasty. Be sure to check out their special take on pad thai, which uses green bean noodles instead of the traditional rice noodles. The Smiling Elephant offers a different curry every day to ensure freshness. They don't take reservations so be sure to get there early.
