REVIEW: We Came Hungry to This EPCOT Festival Booth and Left With Zero Complaints

The 2026 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival is really hitting its stride now, friends! Select Marketplace Food Booths are continuing to open well after the Festival’s August 27th kickoff, and among these is the India Booth!

2026 India food booth

India is one of four Marketplace Food Booths to complete the full lineup, along with The Alps, Coastal Eats, and Earth Eats. So as we continue to bring you our full reviews of every single Food Booth at the Food and Wine Festival (and maybe even add to our Best of the Fest choices for 2026, depending on what we find!), we hope you’ll join us here to check out everything the India Booth has to offer!

Eats

The Potato and Pea Samosas ($5.49) with plant-based coriander-lime cream provide a plant-based option for Festival guests. This dish has been designated as one of 30 Food and Wine Festival Legacy Items for the milestone anniversary that the Festival is marking this year! These are some of the better plant-based options you can get at the festival. They’re very crunchy on the outside, and soft on the inside.

Potato and Pea Samosas

You really get a lot of the potato flavor coming through, and it has a nice saltiness to it. We didn’t get much of the lime flavor from the coriander-lime cream, but it did add a touch of acidity. This is also a great portion size for the price.

Samosas

The popular Chicken Tikka Masala with fennel-spiced yogurt and naan bread is back, as well, for $6.49. It’s also recognized as a 30th Anniversary Legacy Item! The chicken in this dish is very tender, and the rice is cooked perfectly. The sauce adds some savoriness with a little bit of a kick. However, the yogurt tones down that kick and adds some nice creaminess.

Chicken Tikka Masala

The two little pieces of naan were stiff, but they weren’t stale, so they were perfect for dipping. This is another great portion size for the price, and yes, we’ll get it again!

Drinks

We’re starting our sips with the non-alcoholic Mango Lassi ($5.29). For $12.50, of-age guests can opt to try this with Camikara 8 Year Old Cask Aged Rum. This is one of those drinks we will always get. It’s sweet with a hint of saltiness, but the mango flavor is what really stands out. It’s sort of like a cross between a mango smoothie and a slushy, and that makes it PERFECT for a hot day. It’s light and refreshing.

Mango Lassi

The Sula Tropicale Brut Sparkling Wine returns for $7.50.

We always find this bit of bubbly to be fun, refreshing, and just sweet enough with a hint of fruitiness. It tends to pair beautifully with the spices used in the food items at the India Booth.

Beer drinkers can try the United Breweries Taj Mahal Premium Lager, which returns for $6.00 for a 6-ounce pour, or $9.65 for a 12-ounce pour.

OVERALL

As always, the India booth has pretty much knocked it out of the park. You can’t go wrong with any of the food items here, but if you’re on a plant-based diet, the Samosas are one of the best options at the festival. The mango lassi is also a great drink for a hot day, and we like that you can add booze to it if you want a little bit more kick. Overall, this booth nailed it again this year.
