One of the better Thai restaurants in Pittsburgh, Silk Elephant has affordable classic lunches and a wonderful dinner menu that will temporarily paralyze anyone with indecision. It's hard to decide between the small plates and the entrees, the obscure authentic dishes and the western favorites.
In addition to being tasty, dishes are colorful and aromatic, as the kitchen strives to present a total culinary experience.
I'd suggest going for lunch if you want a standard like rice noodles or curry, but if you're feeling adventurous, try some of the smaller sized options on the dinner menu that you won't find in your average American Thai place.
