Eet at Disney Springs Menu
You can check out the digital menu on the Disney Springs Eet restaurant website. This menu has a fairly wide array of options for a smaller restaurant. On our initial visit we tried the $18 BYOB, the $8 Chocolate and Strawberry Naan, the $5 Garlic Naan, the $5 Mango Yogurt Lassi and the $9 Samosas.
Eet BYOB – Build Your Own Bowl
The headline meal option is the BYOB, Build Your Own Bowl. Much like Satu’li Canteen at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, diners will pick their meat, their base and their sauce. Diners can choose from a selection of three bases, four protein options and five sauces.
- Base: Cumin Basmati Rice, Turmeric Riced Cauliflower or Fresh Salad Greens
- Kabab: Tandoori Chicken, Paneer Tikka, Basil Cilantro Shrimp or Masala Roasted Cauliflower.
- Sauce: Tikka (aromatic buttery tomato sauce), Saag (rich earthy spinach sauce), Moilee (golden coconut cury sauce), Korma (cashew saffron sauce) or Bhunna (classic indian curry sauce)
The Eet BOYB bowl cost $18 and includes picked red cabbage, Indian pico di gallo and masala chickpea pearls.
Our review of Eet at Disney Springs
I prefer spicy food, and have a taste for Middle Eastern cuisine, so I figured I would like Eet. To my surprise, there was very little spicy options, but there was a lot of food combinations you could order.
I began with the Mango Yogurt Lassi. This $5 drink offered a smooth, chilled fruit drink. Lassi is used in some countries as a way to cool down the heat effects from spicy food. It was creamy and had a subtle mango taste. It felt a bit small, but overall I would recommend it.
Next arrived my $5 Garlic Naan, and the $18 BYOB. For my bowl I had the Cumin Rice, Tandoori Chicken and Tikka sauce. These options combined together really well, and the entire restaurant had the warm and welcoming smell you associate with Indian food.
I tried out the $9 Samosas. Samosas are a potato & pea pastry, served with tamarin and mint chutney. This was my first time tasting samosas, and while they had a good crunch and soft filling, they weren’t my favorite option of my meal. If you know this food well, I welcome you to try it as they seemed prepared well, but just weren’t my kind of taste.
That said, the $8 Chocolate and Strawberry Naan was 100% for me. This large dessert item was easily shareable, packed full of flavor and close to Mexican Sopapillas. Covered in chocolate, diced strawberries and mint leaves, this dessert has a lot of flavor and packs big pops of sweetness in each bite.
Disney Springs is filled with unique, world class options. It is rare that bad offerings last longer than a year. There will be a lot of competition for Eet, but I believe it will have its place. Eet offers another affordable food option at Disney Springs, and this one brings Indian flavor, an option that hasn’t yet been highlighted.
