I mistakenly posted my full review of The Mara under The Jambo House. To reiterate, my family got food poisoning from the pulled pork sandwiches. This happened February 9th 2026. It was a terrible ending to such a beautiful day.

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.

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!!

Food was good but not very hot. Fries were cold and chicken tenders tasted like they had sat under heat lamp too long.

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.

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.

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. I accidentally spilled my food, and before I could even react, the staff was already there-calm, kind, and incredibly accommodating. They cleaned everything up quickly and without making me feel awkward, and then surprised me by bringing out a fresh, hot replacement dish to my table at no charge. ... A special shout-out to Taylor and her crew. Their kindness, professionalism, and genuine care for customers truly stood out. They handled the situation with such grace that it turned an embarrassing moment into a reminder of what exceptional service and kindness looks like. Highly recommend this place—not just for the good food, but for the amazing team that makes every visit feel welcoming!

Atmosphere, 5/5 Service, 4/5 (a lot of areas needed restocking of items, like ketchup) Food, 2/5 (Magic Kingdom quick service quality, which has continued to decline, really disappointed and didn't finish our meal) Price, 2/5 (expensive considering the poor quality)

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.
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.

The staff here were absolutely amazing! Diego gave me and my family a very warm welcome, and helped guide us through the process/ explain how everything worked. We greatly appreciated the extra support since we were literally starving from traveling! The workers really know how to keep the Disney name and magic alive!✨

Just your average theme park American fare quick service with some theming. Completely fine for what it is, and not too expensive. It is one of those quick eats that you have no complaints about but want to leave behind as quickly as possible.

We chose to eat here on our check in day. You can mobile order here, but we came in around 4 pm so it was not crowded. They have a Joffreys station here. They have a variety of bowls and flatbreads. We ordered a harissa spiced beef bowl which was decent. It was expensive for the portion that you got. We also got our resort refillable mug here, which there is a refill station here with a lot of options. Note they do have grab and go options in the fridge as well as alcohol and wines and the zebra domes. Overall, one mug, one beef bowl, and two coffees costed over $50. Not worth it. The location is by the pool so many families were coming in and out from the pool. We decided not to order from here again because the other menu options didn’t look that appetizing when we were ordering at the counters.
