    ABSOLUTELY GET THE BREAD SERVICE! Also for the entrees the vegetable coconut curry is so amazing, as is the seafood curry. Avoid the paneer and butter chicken-not authentic

    I absolutely love this place! The smells hit you as you arrive. Get the pick two; the butter chicken is phenomenal! And don't forget the naan app with ALL the sauces!

    Amazing place to celebrate a birthday! And all ages love the food. Our waiter (Christopher?) was seriously the best! He talked to the 10year old like an adult and was super funny and made it amazing!!

    Dining with an animal expert was great. You get a taste of some really great dishes. The bread service comes with some good dips.

    They have several vegetarian options which are delicious. Portions are appropriate so you can eat your whole meal and still have room for dessert. The dessert trio is a great choice.

    This was the best food we had at DisneyWorld on our last trip. We ate there 3 times (first time was in the lounge area on our first night, we were just looking for something quick).

    The bread sampler with all 9 sauces is delicious and so is the Chana tikki (chickpea cakes). Those two things together are enough for a small meal for two people.

    Yes it’s reality food but this place is great. The ‘Bread Service’ is a must do! The other items were fairly average but again; you’re in a resort so enjoy it!

    The African/Indian presentations are superb. Dining reservations are a must and you may score a window seat to watch the animals strolling by!

    Order the scallops for an appetizer and if you get the bread service order paneer paratha, kulcha and naan. Also, If you get Danielle as your server her recommendations are spot on!!!
