Yak & Yeti - Disney, Orlando
In Animal Kingdom, the food choices are definitely less than the other parks. There are more kids fare in the Dinosaur area and Discovery Island. The most recommended restaurant was the Tusker House, but they had buffet for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. For someone that have special dietary needs, that may not be a good idea.
We elected to go to Yak & Yeti especially when after the parade, it's on our way to Everest the ride. The decor of Yak & Yeti is very unique. They're very proud of the fact that most all of the artifacts you see in the restaurants are imported from anywhere from India to Mongolia. Even the stairwell which was made and imported from India. Not only that, you're welcome to roam around and take pictures.
The menu felt out of place. The decor from East Asia, I was half expecting cuisine from there. But, then most of the menu looked very Chinese food -centric. I got the sweet and sour chicken, and it really is not anything to write home about. It's not horrible, but it's not the best faux Chinese food I've ever had.
Again, they do cater to food allergies. The chef came out to talk to us about selections that they can make gluten free. We were thinking why don't they just have a separate gluten free menu. Then again, having the chef come to you does kick the customer service points a few notches.
