Mr. Kamal's — Restaurant in Bay Lake

A Hidden Gem in Animal Kingdom. Mr. Kamal’s is one of those hidden gems in Disney’s Animal Kingdom that’s easy to miss if you’re not paying attention—but totally worth seeking out. Tucked along the path between Asia and Africa on the north side of the park, this small snack stand doesn’t have a huge menu, but what it does offer is seriously tasty. The standout item here is definitely the seasoned fries, which come with a selection of flavorful dipping sauces that take them to the next level. They’re crispy, well-spiced, and perfect for sharing (or not, if you’re feeling selfish. I won’t judge you). I ordered the chicken dumplings. They have a dark dipping sauce that goes quite well with it. There’s no real seating area, just a few benches and tables nearby, but that kind of adds to the “wander and snack” vibe that seems to fit Animal Kingdom so well.

The seasoned fries menu showed me a different picture from what I've seen from the Yelp reviews. I got a little worried, and then my worries became a reality. No Tzatiki sauce and no Sriracha ketchup. =( To the side there were four dipping sauces to explore. The Tandoori Honey Mustard was my champion.

The fries themselves were decent, nothing special or bad about them. They are skinny and heavily seasoned with a ton of salt so have a beverage around to help wash it down.

Was I disappointed that they didn't top the fries with the Tzatiki sauce and Sriracha ketchup toppings, yes. (obviously lol) Would I stop by again on a future visit for the fries again? Yes, if there isn't a...

I wouldn’t spend more than $5 on an order of seasoned French fries if it weren’t at a theme park. But I got hungry at the wrong place and ended up getting the seasoned Fries from Mr. Kamal at the Animal Kingdom.

The seasoned fries was okay. It tasted like French fries with a lot of Aleppo Sumac. Nothing special but it wasn’t bad.

But the outdoor dining was so special. Tables and chairs are beautiful crafted. And the adjacent waterway & surrounding landscape are calming and picturesque. Anything, including Mr. Kamal’s fries, would taste...
