Tusker House Restaurant

The Tusker House Restaurant at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park truly captures the essence of its surroundings in the African village of Harambe. Not only does this lunch and dinner buffet offer guests tastes of the exotic flavors of Africa, but it also has a unique setting inside, a convenient location next to the Kilimanjaro Safaris and African-infused entertainment while you dine.

The Tusker House Restaurant used to be an a la carte restaurant, but in late 2007 it was converted into a buffet-only establishment. As one would expect with a buffet, there are a ton of food options to choose from, including a bread station, a table with sliced cold cuts, a salad station (with salads like a green bean and onion salad and a curried rice salad to a Tunisian couscous salad), fresh fruit and a ton of side dishes, such as Jollaf rice, vegetable samosas, hummus with baba ghanoush or spiced tandoori tofu. The main attraction for this buffet still remains the on-stage rotisserie, where fresh chicken is served up to patrons right off the rotisserie. For those looking to have an adult beverage with your meal, beer and wine are served just next door at the Dawa Bar.

In addition to having a unique menu, the Tusker House Restaurant also sets itself apart from its competitors because of the live entertainment that takes place each and every day. Kenyan acrobats and African musicians perform for diners here, so whether you are sitting indoors or outdoors on the stone patio, you have something other than your meal to look forward to!

The Tusker House Restaurant might be in the most highly trafficked area of Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park (in Africa), and that alone means that the wait times can be long even in the park’s slower months. But, you can avoid that dilemma all together by making advanced reservations up to 180 days prior to your vacation by calling (407) WDW-DINE, the only way you can guarantee your family a table here for either this lunch or dinner buffet.

While dining at the Tusker House Restaurant may add to the authenticity of your stop in Africa at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park, the only way to see the rest of the park, or any of the four Walt Disney World Resort theme parks for that matter, is with a theme park ticket.
