REVIEW: When Princess Jasmine Recommends Food in Disney World, We Listen

One of our favorite things to do at Disney World is eat (yeah, we know, you must be SO surprised!).

EPCOT Morocco Pavilion

More importantly, though, we love finding those lesser-known snacks that have since become our favorites. We also love to revisit our favorite underrated restaurants to be reminded ALL OVER AGAIN of why we will recommend them. We recently revisited a restaurant in EPCOT, and you know what? It still SLAPS. So come with us as we take a trip to Morocco.

That’s right, we’re headed to the Morocco Pavilion in EPCOT, where a HIDDEN GEM of a restaurant is hiding. We’re referring to Spice Road Table, which we’ve loved pretty much FOREVER. Recently, we dropped by the restaurant again and were reminded of why we love it so much. Yes, it’s a table service restaurant, but because you can often get a table without an advance dining reservation, we often like to drop in to order a snack or two from the tapas-style menu.

So before our visit, we met with Princess Jasmine, who meets with folks at the Morocco Pavilion. She told us that Aladdin has a favorite food item here, the Hummus Fries. Um, how can we not appreciate a food rec from Jasmine? So we ordered them, and let’s just say Jasmine was right! They’re served with a citrus-chipotle sauce and preserved lemon for $10.

Hummus Fries

We’ve had these before, but we think they’re even better now. The fries are so flavorful, but when you dip them in the sauce, you get a nice intensity (and, yes, heat) that isn’t easily found in Disney World. This place IS called SPICE Road Table, after all. We will warn you that the spiciness could be a bit much for some folks, though. But we like it SPICY.

SO flavorful

We also ordered one of our favorite things at Spice Road Table, the Pomegranate-Chili Crispy Cauliflower with red pepper sauce for $11. It’s savory AND sweet and is anything but boring old cauliflower. The flavor just sinks into the cauliflower that’s been breaded and covered in this delightful sauce.

One thing to love about this restaurant is that the food tastes decadent, although it’s made with healthy ingredients. But again, we will warn you that this also still lives up to the “spice” in the restaurant’s name. Both of these items reminded us of why we should stop by Spice Road Table more often.

Bringing some heat

So, if you want to get into a table-service restaurant without needing a reservation and you aren’t averse to spice, head straight to Morocco and do not pass go.
