The number of servers that were paying attention to the floor varied from five to nine on the occasion of separate reviews. There were both male and female servers working the inside and outside of the establishment. They were wearing black trousers with orange tee-shirts or polo shirts with the logo of the café on them. They also had pouches that were belted around their waists, on top of the tee-shirts that were not tucked into their trousers. The appearance of the servers was uniform, although there was questionable neatness in some of the ladies that were wearing dingy tee-shirts that appeared to be stained.
 

The delay between the time that a customer sat down, and the time a server came to the table was very short, and in one case even non-existent. The servers seemed to be aware of the menu and what was or were not available on the menu that day. They were so aware in fact, that on the occasion of one review, when a dish that the reviewer wanted was not available, the waitress made a recommendation that was well received.
 

Although the servers were quick to get to the table and take the customer's order, the time that it took for the food to appear at the table was considerable. This is perhaps an aspect that can be remedied by the management of the establishment, by speeding up the process in the kitchen to match the speed of the staff on the floor of the café. That would enhance the service provided, in the opinion of the reviewers.
 

Once the bill is asked for, it is a matter of a couple of minutes until it is at the table. The billing system is professional, carrying all the vital information such as the address and contact information of the establishment; it even had the logo of the café, which is a troop of elephants.

The menu offered at the café is complete and would bring envy to restaurants, let alone cafés. There are pizzas, oriental dishes, pastas and sandwiches, just to name a few of the choices. Reading through the four or five page, small but well designed menu, one may be lost as to what to try.

A few dishes were sampled for this particular review, the first being a pepperoni pizza, that was quite large in size. The dish was delicious and the reviewer was satisfied with the taste and the content of the meal.

Another choice was the Asian inspired rice and chicken dish that was accented with soy sauce. The dish was a bit on the salty side, and had more rice in proportion to the sparse chicken strips that were mixed into it. If there were more meat to compliment the portion of rice, the dish would be recommendable to Asian food lovers.

The third dish sampled was the club sandwich, which was quite large in its content. The filling, chicken, was creamy and rich. The sandwich came with a large portion of French fries, which were placed in the centre of the plate. Unlike the more conventional club sandwiches that use thin slices of bread that are toasted, this particular sandwich used thick and what appeared to be home baked bread that was not toasted to crunchiness but rather maintained its softness. While eating one part of the sandwich the other parts got a bit soggy because of the rich topping that was put on the filling.

The presentation of the dishes was neat and clean, although two reviewers found the taste of the dishes that they sampled to be unexceptional, with one describing the club sandwich as bland.

The prices that are offered for the drinks and food at this establishment range from two Birr to 40 Br. The pizzas go for about 30 Br while the sandwiches range from 18 Br to 24 Br. A macchiato goes for three Birr and there are flavoured teas that offer a 3.50 Br price tag. Although some of the items such as the hot drinks can be deemed expensive, the reasonable pricing of the food and the amount of choices that are offered make the pricing somewhat palatable.

The decor of the café shows that the owners took special care and attention to develop a theme that could be observed no matter what part of the café your eye fell on. As you walk in through the doors, you are confronted with a large rectangular space that has the service bar against the back wall, the furthest from the entrance. You have to walk through the outside seating area, adorned in black metal chairs and tables in order to enter the front door.
 

The left wall of the café is floor to ceiling windows that have been sprayed with a smoked version of the elephants that are the logo of the establishment. The right wall, on the other hand, plays host to a platform section of the café that has a seating area featuring couches and armchairs. The seating is done in off white and reddish upholstery and the mixed and matched furniture add to the eclectic sense of style that is unique to the space. The three stairs leading to it and the platform have been surrounded by metal shapes that have the appearance of being wild vines.
 

A majority of the floor space is covered in round tables that have glass tabletops and leather binding. The chairs are again mixed and matched, although all the choices have the same finishing as the tables that they are surrounding.
 

With white and black tiled floors, the dark leather binding of the furniture is well matched. The ceilings have been accented with a rim made from Gibson stucco and have been painted a shade of dark pink which is lit up by the track lighting placed strategically. In the centre of the square that is formed by the stucco, there are two artificial palm trees. The trunks of the trees serve as a standing table for customers.
 

The right wall, which is the only other wall space in the café, the others being all glass, has been painted in a mural of a troop of elephants walking on safari land during a sun set. The elephants are three dimensional, done in a metal and attached to the background of the safari.
 

Although the location of the café is a very convenient one, the fact that it is on a major avenue does not allow for peace and quiet. There are large crowds at all hours of the day, and the level of noise is quite high.

There is one bathroom with male and female stalls and two sinks that is located adjacent to the cash register next to the service bar in the back of the space. The location of the bathroom is not ideal in that it is located right next to the entrance to the kitchen of the establishment. The small space is done in green tiles and offers two white sinks on the right and left walls. Directly in front of the first entrance are the male and female stalls offering a toilet. The bathroom was clean on the occasion of all the reviews, and offered all the necessary amenities, toilet paper, soap, and mirrors, the only thing that was missing was towels or a hand drier.

The Elephant Walk is located right next to Peacock Café, one of the most popular park and sip spots in town, which means that parking can sometimes be a farfetched dream with the amount of traffic that goes through the small parking area that is made for about 30 cars but often accommodates up to 50.

On one occasion, the reviewer was forced to double-park in order to dine at the café, and then was interrupted during the meal to move the car, which was blocking that of another customer that was ready to leave. Although it is obvious that no additional parking may be available in that area, some sort of an arrangement should be made to ease the congestion for customers that may be repelled by having to wait for a parking spot for more than 10 minutes.

This is the worst feature of the restaurant, with diners having to find a parking space in a 10-car lot that has been built for an entire building. During one review, the one available security guard was in a screaming match with two drivers who were yelling at each other over a parking space.

This is the most immediate issue that needs to be resolved as it is more than likely to repel diners who do not want to wait for 30 minutes just to find a parking spot.
