Satu’li Canteen in Animal Kingdom

Satu’li Canteen is a Quick Service Restaurant located in Pandora — The World of AVATAR in Disney World’s Animal Kingdom park! A quick-service restaurant is one where you order the food at the counter (or in the app) and bring it to your table. It is like fast food but a little more upscale. The dining area is very nice and the plates and silverware are real. We love the AIR CONDITIONING inside Satu’li Canteen. There are also fans on the outside patio area.

Satu’li Canteen is open for lunch and dinner only. Lunch service begins at 10:00 am and stays open until the park closes. There is plenty of seating inside and outside at this restaurant. This is a a great place for groups to eat as some tables are large.

Does Satu’li Canteen have Mobile Ordering?

Yes! Satu’li Canteen offers a pre-order and pre-pay option through the My Disney Experience app.

The Experience

The theming of Satu’li Canteen fits right in with the rest of Pandora. The building is a former RDA mess hall which now serves the same purpose for Alpha Centauri Expeditions. You can see artifacts of the Na’vi culture throughout the dining areas. I love the combination of industrial and native aesthetics.

The Menu

The food at Satu’li Canteen is a feast for the eyes as well as the stomach. The menu includes customizable bowls and Steamed Pods (their version of Bao Buns). They also serve unique drinks and desserts. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner.
