With design cues from a Harambe marketplace, the main buffet room is a colorful and lofty work of art. Wondering eyes looking up and around in any of the Tusker House rooms will be met with African inspired details and photos.
The buffet is split up between different stations… staters, prepared salads, warm sides, main entrees, etc. — with the very important dessert station being in the center. Starter type items include assorted house-made breads with hummus and chutney, along with a couple African inspired salads. Entree style items include Spit-roasted Tandoori Chicken and Green Curry Shrimp along with (at least one) plant-based option. Side type items include green beans, rice, roasted potatoes, and mac and cheese. Most of the desserts are "safari decorated" cookies and mini-cakes, etc.
The characters at Tusker House are dressed in their "safari" outfits and usually include Donald, Daisy, Mickey and Goofy. We have, on occasion, seen Minnie as well. Unless you are speed-eating, you will probably get to interact with each of the characters a couple of times during the course of a meal.
(*) Price ranges listed are the average cost for one main entree and one soft beverage item, unless otherwise stated. There are many combinations of appetizers, deserts and drinks that will add to your final total. Many parks also use seasonal pricing systems which result in food and beverage costs increasing at peak times. Please check with the location that you are interested in for specific pricing information.
