It’s time to travel to India with us as we check out the 2025 booth at the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival!

The 2025 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival has officially opened, and it has a LOT to offer. There are plenty of food booths with tasty items, merchandise items to grab (of course), and even concerts to watch. But don’t let it overwhelm you; we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know. And now we’re heading to the India booth to give you the FULL scoop! Is it worth a try? Let’s find out!

Menu

India’s menu is a collection of returning festival items. This year, you’ll find the plant-based Potato and Pea Samosas with plant-based coriander-lime cream and Chicken Tikka Masala with fennel-spiced yogurt and naan bread.

The drinks for 2025 include the non-boozy Mango Lassi and a boozy version of the Mango Lassi with Camikara 8-Year-Old Cask Aged Rum. Additional beverages include Sula Tropicale Brut Sparkling Wine and United Breweries Taj Mahal Premium Lager.

Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into the food itself!

Eats

First up, we grabbed the plant-based Potato and Pea Samosas with plant-based coriander-lime cream for $5.50. This was a best of the fest item for us last year!

Unfortunately, these were a downgrade for us this year. They are packed full of potatoes, which makes for a hearty snack. However, due to this, it was very bland for us. The coriander-lime cream did not pack the flavor like we had hoped it would. It has more of an herb profile than the typical zesty lime taste.

Next up is the popular Chicken Tikka Masala with fennel-spiced yogurt and naan bread for $6.50. In 2024, we found this dish to be a hearty plate with thick pieces of chicken, and honestly, you could probably make a meal out of it. Then there’s the Naan, which isn’t anything special, but it goes well with the chicken tikka masala.

This was a Best of the Fest for us this year! The portion is generous, making it one of the best values because you really get a lot for your money. The dish is packed with flavor, and it feels like a complete meal at a budget-friendly price. The Naan complements it very well.

While naan itself doesn’t have a lot of flavor, it complements the dish, and we would be missing something if it weren’t part of this meal.

Drinks

No trip to the India booth is complete without ordering the Mango Lassi! This drink is $5.25 and is also a snack if you use your Dining Plan. This drink is one of our absolute favorites of the festival. It’s thick in texture, like a mango yogurt smoothie would be. We had fresh chunks of cut mango in our drink towards the bottom, which we loved. This was another Best of the Fest for us!

If you prefer a boozy Mango Lassi, you can order it with Camikara 8-Year-Old Cask Aged Rum for $12.50. This seems like a hidden gem, as we noticed most guests didn’t know you could get an alcoholic drink. 

Other drinks include the returning Sula Tropicale Brut Sparkling Wine for $7.50.

In the past, we’ve found this wine to be really fun and refreshing! It was sweet but not sugary, and it had a very subtle fruitiness to it. It’s perfect for eating spicy food on a hot day! And finally, the United Breweries Taj Mahal Premium Lager returns and is priced at 6 oz $5.75 / 12 oz $9.75.

OVERALL

We love this booth for its quality items and for the portion sizes. We think it’s a great stop at the festival for guests who want to try Indian food. The Chicken Tikka Masala and the Mango Lassi were the stars of this show, and we love that together, you could grab a full meal here. While the Potato and Pea Samosas were disappointing this year, we still think that this booth is worth the stop!
