The service was very nice, the food was good but as a person from mediterranee, the recipe are not really loyal to the real one, it’s more the kind of food to please everyone … But it was ok for a disney restaurant !

We had a dinner here while kids were at Beach Club kids club — and had a great time. We opted for indoor and had a nice booth with a picturesque view of the world showcase and lake. The appetizers were my favorite course — I had the baked Brie and DH had spicy shrimp. I had a cocktail recommended by the waitress — very good. DH had Moroccan beer which he enjoyed. Entrees and desserts were great. Service was awesome, and the restaurant was not at all crowded(we had 6:30 reservations). Would love to come back sometime!

I am a fan of the full bar at Spice Road table. It is a must stop for some adult beverages to walk around the park with since the bar is 1) air conditioned and 2) not usually slammed like all the beer lines in Epcot. I thought I was a genius securing an 8PM reservation to watch the fireworks on the lake while eating dinner. I even showed up at 7:30 and specifically requested a table on the rail. Well even though I checked in several times and the hostess knew I was around, apparently they called my name and when I did not answer in .5 nanoseconds they gave my rail table away since there are a million people trying to eat here at that time. Obviously I was a little P-d off but with the fireworks rapidly approaching I had no choice to take a table away from the rail. The manager to his credit did hook us up with letting us watch the show from the«secret» balcony which was a treat. The food was pretty good — we shared a bunch of things including the lamb sausage, lamb sliders, and skewers. I am a big fan of spice and the food here had some great flavor. You can get away with a pretty reasonably priced dinner if you stick to the small plates and to it tapas style. Overall the food and service here are good and obviously it is a great place to catch the fireworks but you need to be on the rail. The fiasco with the hostess sucked but the manager did a good job of making up for it.

Great little open restaurant on the water on Epcot. Food is good and the service was great. Stayed for fireworks and another glass of vino!

This is definitely one of the best restaurants in Epcot and maybe on of the best in all of Disney World. The food is amazing! The service was great and our food came out five minutes after we ordered it!
Spice Road Table is a restaurant that serves small dishes that you share with the table so if you are looking for a meal, try something different. Eating fried calamari, lamb sliders, spicy garlic shrimp, and hummus and olives filled our party of three up. The restaurant also has an amazing view from the inside and outside which I’m sure would be a great spot for the fireworks.

Very very expensive. There were only 2 of us and we spent 85.00. Food is way overpriced. Quality of food is ok but not worth the price. Environment is nice and staff is attentive.

Food and service not par with other WDW restaurants. I was really looking forward to our dinner and was really disappointed by the service. I don’t like being thirsty at a restaurant.

Today we got the lamb sausage which was very spicy and very good. The harrisa chicken rolls which are always my favorite. The mixed grill which I specifically asked for none rare meat and got super rare meat. He brought me a new one which was fine but when they say medium be weary. Also got the yellow fin tuna which was good but seemed to be not as flavorful as last time. Lastly we got a pitcher of red sangria which was very good :)

My favorite location for late night dinner and fireworks. The food here is wonderful. Our favorites ate the Hummus and the lamb burgers. The service is also excellent, they are always very helpful whether you are asking about a dish or needing help seating with young children. We have been here often whenever we visit Epcot.

Comfortable romantic ambiance in a theme park. Who would believe I am at Walt Disney World Epcot? Not I. The service is impeccable. The view is a delight. Right on the water. If only another proposal could be said once more. There goes my beating heart. The Spicy Tuna was spectacular with zucchini couscous. Not salty at all and peppered with flavor. I cannot recommend it enough to all that enter the doors. The roasted chicken tender and moist. Served in a velvet broth with potatoes with olives. Spicy calamari with a lite breaking which was tasty all by itself. A predinner must.

3 stars for a nice evening out, but just OK for the amount of cash spent. I made a reservation at Spice Road Table after menu shopping around Epcot looking for the best vegetarian meal. There was a great looking veggie platter here, so they won my reservation. I was a little disappointed by our table placement. Our reservation was at 5:30(no, I’m not a senior citizen, just hungry) so the restaurant was not full. Although there were plenty of four-top tables in front of windows with lagoon views, we were seated at a two-top in the middle of the aisle between the window-view table and the booth. Originally I thought, «we’re only two people and they need to save the table for the larger parties», but after no one was seated at any of these tables through our entire meal, I felt like it would have been nice to been offered a larger space with an actual view instead of being in the walkway. Service was average. There were times when I was curious where our server was or if we were getting refills, but she always came back with a smile. We ordered the apéritif flight which was a nice way to start the meal. I got a glass of wine and my date had a cocktail. The cocktail sections are not my cup of tea(many are peach-flavored?), but the wine list hit the spot. The food was more like 4 stars. The vegetarian platter is good with baba ganoush, harissa hummus fries(YES), pita, grape leaves, and couscous. The portion was a little small in comparison to the other entrees but my date left full. I had the Yellowfin Tuna which was really good. Spicy, flavorful, pesto-y with fresh vegetables. The tuna was cooked a bit well for my taste(they didn’t ask how I would prefer it), but the flavor in the fish made up for it. Overall, it was a nice evening with a $ 100+ price tag for two people. Would possibly visit again, but will likely continue to try the other restaurants around the World Showcase instead of making this a favorite.

Came here for lunch the day we went to Epcot. It has a nice atmosphere and attentive service. I ordered the vegetable platter and it was delicious– if you’re vegetarian or vegan this is a great option! Would definitely recommend this place if you’re in World Showcase and want to be served rather than have fast food. My one gripe is the price. As others have said, it is pretty expensive. For two people to have just entrees, it was around $ 60 plus tip. If we had alcohol, appetizers, or dessert, if would have been even more. I thought the food was worth it, though, and would definitely come here again. Spice Road Table is a good option if you’re tired of the same«burgers and fries» fast food option Disney often has and if you want to try something new. Across the way was a quick service Moroccan place, which is definitely a cheaper option, but we wanted the service.

We visited Morocco at Epcot’s World Showcase and found ourselves here. We had a waterfront view as we were seated by the window. The restaurant was decorated beautifully, which is mostly why I gave this place a 3 stars. Like I said, we were trying food from every country there so we kept our orders small. We ordered from the small plate menu which were literally small plates. We ordered the fish croquette which came with four pieces. Wasn’t anything fantastic about it, just four fried fish balls. We also ordered the spicy garlic shrimp. I imagined this to be these jumbo shrimp but they were these itty bitty shrimps(the smallest size of shrimp possible) that tasted like they were just fried in butter and garlic. The portion size and taste did not justify the pricing… I think we spent about $ 30 for just those two items. Perhaps the entrees would’ve been better? We didn’t really get to try em.

Probably one of the most expensive food purchase we encountered at disneyworld. The bill came out to be like $ 30 with tip and tax for 5 spicy mini garlic shrimps and 4 fried fish fillet balls(Croquette). We wanted to try something new, something morocco but damn… was the food here $$$$. It had an unique restaurant setting in which it was decorated Moroccan and by the water but… honestly if you were planning to get full… then you better be prepared to drop those benjamins in the house. Initially we thought it was like an legit small plate with at least enough to share around but WOW… the flavor was only okay too… not bad but not great… Again. i know it’s theme park food and pricing and that one shouldn’t have high hopes but Disney… you’re cheap down on your rent for these restaurants… y’all ballin already! Thumbs down for the price, neutral for the quality!

My girlfriend and I were excited to make a reservation at Spice Road Table at a time that we would watch the IllumiNations show that Epcot is famous for. The restaurant boasted an «amazing view» of the show, so we were really looking forward to the dinner. Instead of getting a seat with one of those«amazing views,» we were seated indoors with a small window slot across from us to try and look out of. I was pretty bummed we didn’t get seated in the outdoor section, but I never question where servers sit people at restaurants, I know they have a system they try and go by. The two of us were seated at an awkward U-shaped boot with a squared off table better suited for more people. Should we sit across from each other? Should we sit next to each other? Based on the shapes of the seat and table, we were sorta seated next to each other but not really. We were served our drinks pretty quickly and instead of getting main courses, we opted for the tapas-style small plates. And when they say«small,» they really mean SMALL. From what I remember ordering: — The Moroccan lamb sausages were tasty, but the size of cocktail weenies. — The Harissa chicken roll tasted EXACTLY like Chili’s southwestern egg rolls. Whether that is a good or a bad thing is up to you. — The brie fondue was mostly congealed but had a pretty good flavor. Unfortunately, the rosemary croutons were stale as all hell and made the dish pretty difficult to eat. The waiter also must have not heard me order it, since it wasn’t brought out with the rest of the food and when I asked about it, he thought I was adding it to the order. When I told him that I had ordered it with the rest of the food, he didn’t seem to believe me. Oh well. Maybe it was made when all the other food was made and simply forgotten about, leaving it not fondue-like by the time it got to our table. — The spicy garlic shrimp lived up to its name and was pretty spicy. Not ~too~ much heat, but it had enough of a kick to it for spice lovers. — For dessert, I went with the saffron and lemon custard(basically crème brûlée) and it was probably my favorite thing that I ate there. The bill was higher than it should have been for the amount of food that came in each dish; we really had to stretch out the food to make it to 9:00pm for the show to start. I’m not sure how many times I had to tell the waiter«uhh… we’re good for right now» since we were eating so slowly. Not a fault at all of the waiter, who was pretty nice. But the food came out so quickly and there just wasn’t a whole lot of it to eat for the hour between when we were seated and when the show started. It probably the only place in Epcot that I definitely won’t return to the next time I’m down there.

This review is only for service, atmosphere, and the bar. Bartender was very friendly. Drink was a bit expensive for the size, even by Disney standard, considering that I couldn’t taste much liquor at all. Didn’t like the drink(Andalusian Nights). But yay to trying new things I’ve never seen other places. Would be interested to try the food here, actually.

What makes this place is the view of the fireworks… Not of course if it is your first time seeing that show, but if you have been to epcot a few times, then this is a good place to take in the music and lights without having to stand on tippy toes over a crowd. Food is pretty good and about the pricyness of what you’d expect at an amusement park. Good place for those with a desire to try a new ethnic group and if you have vegetarians in your mix. Service is slow, but that works to your advantage when you are hoping they don’t kick you out before the fireworks. We were able to sit there for 30 min and watch the fireworks while they processed our check.

In terms of Epcot dining, this falls short of everywhere else. It is always empty though — but that’s probably for a reason. First, especially for lunch, their prices are high even for Disney. $ 8 dollars for a single chicken roll(size of an egg roll)??? I mean, yes, it was good, but $ 8 dollars and barely any chicken(was there chicken in it? I am still not sure) was kind of sad. We also got the hummus — we came for a quick bite during Food and Wine and when we looked at the menu quickly decided to try a few things and not dedicate to one of the more pricey entrees. Most people around us stuck to the appetizers too — I mostly heard orders of hummus fries and chicken rolls. The hummus was good — you get a little variety of three — but didn’t come with nearly enough bread. We were able to ask for more. The saddest part of this was the service. We were amongst 3 other dining tables, and things took forever. Drinks were never refilled. Our server actually disappeared for most of the time and some other guy came over to get our check. By the time she had come to check on us, we were signing the bill. Not quite the service you normally see at Disney(especially since they are usually pretty fast and trying to get people in and out since the restaurants are busy). Seems like this place is empty for quite a few reasons.

We have been wanting to stop and give this spot at Epcot a try for some time now. Today we decided we would try it as it was not busy and we were loving the smells coming from the kitchen. Have to say that the visit did not start off well. We sat for about 10 min and no one came to the table. Several servers walked by us but not one thought to come over and offer us service. Come to find out the server for our table had some issue and had walked away for a bit. Not my issue. So we got up, politely told the hostess we were leaving and why. We didn’t get far when the manager came and asked us to return. As we really wanted to try it we complied. Having mentioned that it was our anniversary we were promptly served 2 glasses of champagne. Unexpected and a nice treat. We had only planned in trying a couple of appetizers so we stuck to that plan and ordered the hummus with olives and the garlic chili shrimp. The hummus arrived first with warm pita. There was a red pepper hummus with black and green olives, and a garlic hummus topped with a Greek olive. Also served alongside a tomato and olive topping. It was wonderful. I am a hummus snob and this was terrific. I wanted to lick the plate to get the last bit. Shortly thereafter we received the shrimp. Hot and served over fried garlic slices In a chili oil. A small piece of bread was atop the shrimp to help soak up the tasty oil. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and I could have eaten a meal just of the shrimp. I suggested they might want to have the shrimp as an entrée served over couscous. It would be a hit in my opinion. Al in all will go back and try some of the other offerings even though our first impression was of being ignored. We try to overlook one bad experience and they definitely turned it around with the food and service we received on our return.
