Yummo! The rice bowls are so good here! So much flavor and not expensive. The watermelon lemonade was delicious. I didn't try the desserts but the little cakes looked yummy too. A "must go" to eat in Animal Kingdom!

The food has good taste but you really can't enjoy because is cold. I think is a little overpriced for the quantity that the order has. As I mentioned before, the food was cold, when those plate should be warm.

An African Themed Market With Good Food and Drink
The Animal Kingdom Theme Park is divided into several smaller themed parks within its boundary. We spent quite a bit of time in Africa and found this great little place for lunch. Their menu is quite expansive with many common food items and some of them have been changed up with African spices and flavors. We were in Africa, so we wanted the tastes of that land and we got them. My wife had the Chicken Caesar Salad ($12.99). Fresh crisp romaine lettuce tossed in a Caesar dressing with tomatoes and grated Parmesan cheese, then topped with a nice portion of chermoula-marinated chicken. The spices for the marinade lent a warm, yet bold and slightly acidic flavor to the chicken. Not at all spicy hot. The portion size is large. She finished all the chicken, but left some of the lettuce. A very good value. Beef and Lamb Kofta Pita ($13.49). I think this is the African version of a gyro. The meat is a combination of beef and lamb, not heavy on the lamb. The same chermoula spices as on the chicken. A nice portion of meat on a warm, soft pita topped with a tasty tzatziki sauce. It was served with crunchy house-made potato chips. Chicken and Shrimp Rice Bowl ($15.99) Chermoula-marinated chicken and peri peri-marinated shrimp served on top of a west African savory tomato based slightly spicy jollof rice with another African specialty - kachumbari tomato and onion salad, topped with tzatziki sauce. The entire dish was really enjoyable. There is a covered outdoor eating area directly across from the market where you can dine in the shade. Be adventurous, give it a try.

If I knew the name of this group I would create a site just for them. These men played their hearts of but they were seating profusely. Having to wear these polyester outfits in 80° weather with high humidity was unbearable but here they are. I cant imagine how much they get paid but if you see then and stop to listen give them a nice tip. They certainly deserve it.
