Silk Elephant is one of my favorite places in Pittsburgh. The atmosphere is cozy and romantic, but the big glass windows allows you to people-watch Murray Ave. It's a great combo!
Their food is to die for. I'm usually a Green Curry, spice 7 with shrimp. I was in the mood for something different and ordered the basil fried rice. I highly recommend it! The abundant fresh basil was bursting, and the rice was not greasy at all.
As for their tapas... I haven't had any I don't rave about. Their corn fritters are some of the best I've ever had. Each tapas comes with a unique dipping sauce that makes eating the bite size meals that much more enjoyable.
