Loved the pizza and falafel hummus platter here. They put a white sauce on the tomato pizza which is unique and i have never seen that earlier. its awesome.
They do fry veg and meat in same fryer, so if you care about that you should avoid the falafel platter.

One of the busiest and loudest quick services we’ve been to at a hotel. It was so crowded during breakfast, with super long lines for hot food. We opted each morning to just get cereal and muffins because it was so busy.

This place is clean but not necessarily a vibe. The frozen POG is amazing and you can get it with alcohol too. The must get for me are Zebra Domes. So freaking good!!

Great variety of delicious food. We ordered the BBQ Jerk Chicken Strips & the Combination bowl. Both were amazing and came out quickly
They also have a mobile order area where you can order on the app & pick it up without waiting in line.
There is limited seating indoors, but plenary of seating outside and by the pool.

Had their entire menu over a week of mobile app orders.
Best entree- any bowl with the kale side salad/protein/rice. Beef stew bowl was great. Chicken tenders and fries all solid. Beware the African curry was different every time we ordered- sometimes sweet sometimes super spicy. Burger is pretty good but small. Didn’t love the falafel (dry), the butternut squash soup, or the any of the cake dessert- the Mickey ice cream sandwich was the best dessert. We did the special disney refill cups, super convenient for coffee throughout the day and afternoon. The tea is awful, coffee is great, soft drinks standard. Staff are wonderful and mobile app ordering super convenient and accurate with orders. Inside is a bit gaudy for seating area but outside tables great vibe. Pro tip. If you need to leave your hotel room for some laptop writing or work time in morning or evening, the Mara outdoor tables are the best private place to work. All lobby areas have people walking around you, whereas Mara most people in early AM or PM are doing pick up orders.

The breakfast at The Mara was actually pretty good, but unfortunately, the service fell short in a key area. My wife has a food allergy and placed a special order, which ended up taking over 30 minutes to be served. When she went to ask about it, they told her they had already marked it as delivered despite the fact that she was still holding the beeper device they gave her, which hadn’t gone off.
We did receive a refund, and we appreciate that gesture, but it’s really important for the staff to be more attentive to these kinds of details, especially when it involves allergy related orders. Mistakes like this can be more than just inconvenient….they can be dangerous.

The Mara is a great breakfast option when your staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge! They have Mickey Waffles, Oatmeal, Pastries and more. They also have gathered famous Zebra Domes! It also has a great atmosphere to go along with the animal theme. It’s located next to the pool which is convenient to go swimming right after breakfast

I got food poisoning from the Beef Harissa. The management refused to refund the money for my meal. I ate around 7 and was throwing up by 10pm. Leader Krystle went through every hoop to blame me for the illness and took no accountability. After checking temperature records she concluded that it was impossible for me to have gotten food poisoning from the restaurant. She also stated that food poisoning happens much faster than 3 hours so that couldn’t be what happened. Food poisoning can take any where from minutes to days depending on the pathogen. It’s alarming that Disney has someone with so little knowledge of food safety leading others. Food poisoning literally kills people. I was just lucky. I would never eat here again and it’s a shame because the meal was delicious at first.

This is probably my favorite quicker place to eat at Animal Kingdom Lodge. The breakfast is very good and the quinoa is my favorite. We came for lunch today and we’re impressed by the large selection they had to offer between flatbreads bowls, sandwiches, and other fair. They have a large selection of drinks and fresh pastries available as well.

There is only one place to eat lunch at the animal kingdom lodge which is the mara quick serving. They served African theme food among with other quick serving like burger and etc. the serving is quite generous and comparable to its price. The combination bowl is full of protein such as shrimp beef and etc instead of filler. And you can ask for regular water just ask for empty cup at the register
