EET by Maneet Chauhan will be opening in November. The new restaurant will be taking over the space that Wolfgang Puck express Occupied.
This will be a new Indian Cuisine "fast casual" restaurant.
Traditional Flavor with Modern Flair
Discover authentic Indian cuisine created by celebrity Chef Maneet Chauhan.
Chauhan and her husband Vivek Deora are an award-winning hospitality duo looking to bring their family’s culture and traditions to one of their favorite vacation spots.
Enjoy shareable dishes for everyone at the table, like the eet Bread Service with Pimento Whipped Paneer or the Tandoori Chicken Poutine. You can also order market fresh salads or build your own bowl filled with rice and a kebab. End your meal on a sweet note when you choose a delectable dessert like the Chocolate and Strawberry Naan or the Gulab Jamun Cheesecake.
Their Menu looks delicious and I can not wait to give it a try, maybe in December!
I am down for sharing some Bread Service!

It looks delicious. We may get a chance in December. Will see if they can adapt anything around the allergies. If not, at least most in our party can enjoy!

An interesting take on Indian food. Definitely not traditional, but using Indian flavors. As might be expected, there is a lot of great Indian food in the Bay Area, but it is of the more authentic, traditional variety. This variation could well be worth a visit.
Cheers.

I am ok with it not being traditional. It certainly will be different than everything else at Disney Springs.
Also, what defines traditional Indian cuisine? Or any other take of a Ethnic/Regional cuisine? Doesn't food always evolve and change from place to place, year over year?
PS - I am not even sure I know what traditional Indian cuisine is exactly. The Indian inspired food in London is certainly different then the Indian cuisine in India. I choose London only because I know there is a large Indian population (over 650,000)

I was going with "food as made in India" as the population of native Indians in the Bay area is very high due to tech. I've been to a number of these with native Indians who tell me that this is just like things are done back home. That's what I'm referring to as "traditional."
But, again, we have a lot of that here. The different take on Indian cuisine at eet is very refreshing and interesting. Basically, seems like Not Your Mother's Tikki Masala.
We go in a little more than a week and will certainly look in. I've been to several Puck restaurants so never went to the one at DS. This is different enough to warant attention, IMO.
Cheers.

And to be sure, Indian food varies greatly dependent upon the region. What some family from one region makes, another would never see. The idea of who's vegetarian and not can vary a ton from region to region too. Who uses more onions than others also varies. I'm looking forward to trying this, knowing full well some of the food I may not be able to eat. But give me a naan and I am thrilled to try anything else even if just a taste. |

Where I live, we have two Indian Restaurants.....I have been to one of them. I like the flavors of Indian Cuisine, Robin is so-so to it. The dishes tend to be too spicy for her tastes.
My comment is really connected to a personal experiences of people and Mexican Cuisine. I have friends and family that will continually dis local Mexican food, saying its not authentic. And I am always dismayed by their blanket put-down of local Mexican restaurants. These restaurants are owned by Mexicans, have Mexican staff, and Mexican Cooks......How can they not be Mexican Cuisine?
To me good food is just good food. All food is authentic, but not all food is ethnic until it is. For example, people associate spaghetti and pizza with Italy, yet tomatoes came from the Americas in the 16th century.

I’m a bit salty that EET will be taking over the old WPE, taking away all hope it will ever return. However something new and different is always welcome. I enjoy watching Maneet on TV and am looking forward to trying her food. I just hope they get customers to give it a chance. The location is tucked away and a lot of people had no idea WPE was even there. Since they moved the buses I doubt the infrequent visitor ventures that way.
We went to local “authentic” Italian restaurant and most were confused and asked where the spaghetti, lasagna and chicken parm was. They had it of course but it was in a tiny little box in the corner of the menu labeled “traditional”.
Also went to Acapulco decades ago and found not 1 place that served tacos, burritos or enchiladas. Lots of regional seafood instead.

He flew in Mexico for a Music Festival this weekend, where his band is playing. The band has a "warm-up" gig tonight at an Irish Bar.....In Mexico City. |

She has a restaurant in Nashville, which I would describe as Indian with a slight Southern twist. I recognize a couple of these menu items from the App/Dessert menus there. I really enjoy that restaurant, so would expect this to be good.

I really hope the restaurant is up and running on my next solo trip so I can try it. Where I live, we have only one type of foreign food- Mexican, some of which is Tex-Mex, but I would say most of it is Mexican. My only concern with EET is that I heard that the portions are usually large. And since I'll be solo, I'm not sure what to order. So far, the prices look very reasonable.
