Colonel Hathi’s: the Disneyland Paris restaurant that transports you to India

Colonel Hathi from The Jungle Book has a home in Adventureland. At Disneyland Paris, the Colonel Hathi’s Outpost Restaurant welcomes visitors to Disneyland Park for a quick-service meal. The menu combines Indian specialties and pizzas in an explorer-themed setting that evokes the journeys told in this part of the park.

A former explorers’ club turned Colonel Hathi restaurant

Before it took the name of Disney’s elephant, the building housed the Explorers Club. It has retained the same spirit: wood, a large dining room and spaces open to the surrounding greenery create the feel of a return from an expedition. References to The Jungle Book remain fairly subtle; the atmosphere comes mainly from the restaurant’s architecture and setting.

The restaurant is near Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril, making it easy to grab a bite in this part of Adventureland without heading back toward Main Street. You order at the counter before sitting down with your tray. As with the other restaurants in the park, you’ll need a valid ticket to Disneyland Park to enter.

Tandoori chicken, dahl and pizzas on the menu

Tandoori chicken is served with basmati rice. The lentil dahl comes with rice and naan, while pakora vegetable fritters and bhaji onion fritters round out the meal. If not everyone is in the mood for the same thing, the menu also features Mickey-shaped pizzas topped with four cheeses or pepperoni.

Children can choose rigatoni with Neapolitan sauce or a small Mickey pizza from the kids’ menu. For dessert, there’s the Double Mickey almond-chocolate cake, yogurt on a bed of fruit, and several ice cream options. It’s a chance to enjoy different meals around the same table, from Indian recipes to pizzas, in the Explorers Club setting.
