Oh boy, ancient military historian to the rescue! It was frustratingly hard to get good figures for elephant nutrition, but estimates for Asian elephants range from 135-300kg per day in a mix of grazing and fodder. At that scale, I'm not sure how much difference munchies make.
Now the Warsaw Zoo's elephants are African elephants, not Asian elephants; African elephants (I assume Loxodonta Africana) tend to be larger than Indian elephants (elephas maximus), so their dietary requirements are going to likely be rather higher still.

Oh the fun part with elephants is that the 'African' elephants in the ancient sources aren't either species of modern African elephant, but a third, now extinct (sub)species of elephant which was somewhat smaller than Indian elephants.
