Keep Whether a restaurant review counts as significant coverage for notability purposes is governed by the
WP:PRODUCTREV policy, which requires that the author describes their experiences in some depth, provides broader context, and draws comparisons with other products; that the reviews must be published outside of purely local or highly specialized interest publications; and that the review is not sponsored and the source is reputable. These criteria are met by the following sources:
Boston Globe 2012(satisfying
WP:AUD's requirement for at least one regional, statewide, provincial, national, or international source),
Maine Sunday Telegram 2016,
Portland Press Herald 2020, and arguably
Taste of the Seacoast 2017.

Keep This restaurant is Maine's most notable vegetarian restaurant. The coverage is not routine restaurant coverage. See
[1]. The restaurant is mentioned in the 2014 book
The Vegetarian Flavor Bible.

Sriprasert’s mother, who owned a restaurant in Thailand, taught him how to cook from a very early age. Each morning, he would wake up and be put to task peeling garlic, chopping onions, making curry paste, and executing other tedious preparations. His mother never used written recipes, and by cooking alongside her he began to develop his own personal style. These experiences gave him the knowledge and skills that allow him to transition seamlessly between the many different types of cuisine featured at Green Elephant. Char Guay Teow, a dish of wide noodles prepared with egg, red-chili paste, tofu, and soy ham, is the first of our entrees to arrive. I find the textural interplay of the soft, chewy noodles and crunchy greens quite pleasing. My companion’s Spicy Vegetable Medley Stir-fry with peanuts, soy meat, and spicy red-curry paste is also an elegantly executed dish. Although we are completely full of veggies at this point, dessert is inevitable, and we finish up with fried bananas and coconut ice cream. Ain’t nothin’ wrong with that!
Keep I came here following the original author's request at
Wikipedia:WikiProject Animal rights to consider a series of vegan related articles they created. I say keep here because this restaurant has had media coverage in cities beyond its own location. This is not a requirement for keeping, but I think that this broad coverage does demonstrate special interest beyond a typical restaurant.

Keep There are enough reliable sources on the article like The Boston Globe or Press Herald. The only one I would dispute is VegNews.com it's not a independent reliable source.
