Greetings from Batuu! We’re digging into lunchtime and dinner offerings at Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland. From Felucian Garden Spread to Smoked Kaadu Ribs, there’s plenty to experience for lunch. While most of the menu remains from lunch, there are two specialty items for dinner: Braised Shaak Roast and Ithorian Garden Loaf. And don’t forget to save some time by using Mobile Ordering!
There’s plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy your meals out in the fine California––I mean Batuuian––weather.
Needless to say, the entire area is just as insanely themed as the rest of the land.
Once inside, there are props and Star Wars references tucked away in every corner. We hash out some of the hidden easter eggs in our Black Spire 101: Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo post.
The menu is displayed on a series of screens by the ordering bay.
You can also browse printed menus, if you need more time to decide:
Here’s a look at the regular menu and allergy-friendly menu, as well.
Oh, and by the way, you get to eat everything with these amazingly themed sporks. It’s both a blessing and a curse, but at least you get to look cool while chowing down.
Lunch Entrees
Felucian Garden Spread (Plant-based “Kefta”, Herb Hummus, Tomato-Cucumber Relish, Pita) – $12.99
This dish includes falafel-like, plant-based meatballs that are absolutely delicious. If you didn’t know these were plant-based, you’d be surprised to find out these aren’t made of meat. The Felucian Garden Spread is only available during lunch hours.
Smoked Kaadu Ribs (Sticky Pork Ribs, Blueberry Corn Muffin, Cabbage Slaw) – $16.99
The Kaadu ribs are tender and topped with some great seasoning. The blueberry cornbread meshed well with the rest of the flavors in the dish, while the coleslaw gave the dish quite the kick. This was the first dish we encountered that was hard to eat with spork, but it was far from the last. A knife would be really essential here.
Fried Endorian Tip-Yip (Crispy Chicken, Roasted Vegetable Potato Mash, Herb Gravy) – $15.49
The Fried Tip-Yip features tender chicken, with flavorful, crunchy breading. The herb gravy really makes the dish when paired with everything else.
Roasted Endorian Tip-Yip Salad (Marinated Chicken, Mixed Greens, Roasted Seasonal Vegetables, Quinoa, and Pumpkin Seeds, tossed in Green Curry Ranch) – $13.99
This is a great take on chicken caesar salad, and probably the best caesar salad we’ve had at any Disney restaurant. The pumpkin seeds add a really nice crunch.
Yobshrimp Noodle Salad (Chilled Shrimp, Marinated Noodles, Vegetables, Cilantro) – $15.99
This Vietnamese-inspired dish includes plenty of well-cooked shrimp. All the flavors really come from the herbs in the dish. Another dish that’s hard to eat because the noodles don’t tend to behave with the spork very well.
Dinner Entrees
Ithorian Garden Loaf (Plant-based “Meatloaf”, Roasted Vegetable Potato Mash, Seasonal Vegetables, Mushroom Sauce) – $14.99
The Garden loaf is great if you’re vegan or trying to eat plant-based, and it’s probably the closest you can get to meatloaf if you are. The use of shiitake mushrooms here really elevates the dish.
Braised Shaak Roast (Beef Pot Roast, Cavatelli Pasta, Wilted Kale, Mushrooms) – $18.99
Kids’ Meals
Yobshrimp Noodle Salad (Chilled Shrimp, Noodles, Vegetables, and Sweet Orange Dressing served with choice of Small Lowfat Milk or Small Dasani® Water) – $10.99
The kids menu version of the dish differs from the main menu in that it has a sweeter taste, with less herby dressing on top. Still comes with plenty of shrimp, though!
A Taste of Takodana (Black Bean Hummus, Edible Soil with Nuts, Chilled Dipping Vegetables, Multigrain Crisps served with choice of Small Lowfat Milk or Small Dasani® Water) – $8.49
Great presentation here for an otherwise basic hummus and veggie dish. If your kid likes hummus, they will enjoy this dish. Here you have the added bonus of not even needing a spork, making this dish especially good for toddlers.
Fried Endorian Tip-Yip (Crispy Chicken, Macaroni and Cheese and Seasonal Vegetables served with choice of Small Lowfat Milk or Small Dasani® Water) – $9.99
The chicken used here is the same as the one used in the main menu, but here it’s paired with a flavorful mac and cheese.
Desserts
Oi-oi Puff (Raspberry Cream Puff, Passion Fruit Mousse) – $6.49
The tanginess in the fruits here gives the pastry a bright, clean flavor that’s simply phenomenal. Definitely get this.
Batuu-bon (Chocolate Cake, White Chocolate Mousse, Coffee Custard) – $6.99
Another solid dessert. This one’s for people looking for a chocolate-forward dessert.
Specialty Beverages
Moof Juice (Simply Fruit Punch and Simply Orange with Chipotle-Pineapple) – $5.49
While the peach hue may look pretty, Moof Juice is rather bland and forgettable. Skip this.
Phattro (Gold Peak Unsweetened Tea, Odwalla Lemonade, and Desert Pear) – $5.49
Another miss on the drink menu, this basically tastes like grape Kool-Aid.
Batuubucha Tea (Suja Pineapple Passionfruit Kombucha) – $5.49
And if you thought the other drinks were bad, this one is extremely tart. If you aren’t used to kombucha, this isn’t the best place to start.
Just too darn expensive. This is not a 5 Star Gordon Ramsay restaurant. This is a Disney counter service restaurant.
The veggie meatloaf looks very similar to the the veggie option at Harbor House in the Magic Kingdom. It was pretty good, but tasted a bit greasy to me. Maybe I was a Batuu taste tester and I didn’t even know it!!!
What is the spork made out of? Is it plastic or metal?
I’ll be frank. I’m a middle-aged white lawyer living in San Diego. I am neither a liberal nor a conservative, but an independent who is sick of both extremes. With that being said…I can honestly tell u that Galaxy’s Edge holds no attraction for me other than kinda wanting to see the falcon.
I actually find it outdated- its basically a themed land that invites you to experience a truly “other” culture. I think this would be a really cool idea all the way until the mid-1990s, in other words during a time when American white people as a broad culture group didnt really have much intimate exposure to other cultures. And it still totally works in film where u r watching, not physically interacting with a completely “alien” culture.
The trouble is, for someone like me who frequents asian and indian and south american ethnic enclaves all the time, and eats their local food regularly, the act of stepping into a themepark with a fantasy alien land just doesnt much appeal to me for one main reason– the food.
If i watch a star wars movie on the big screen its still awesome to see an alien culture because i can imagine how completely different from my own experience the world and the food and the people must be like. But when i step into a live-action theme park which is made by humans using earth materials and food, and when the only thing disney can do is appropriate the food of non-white cultures and “re-imagine” it as alien food, it actually becomes not just boring to me but borderline insulting to other cultures who now have to experience a variation of their traditional foods as “alien cuisine” which is pretty much the kind of food that only a closed-minded white person would experience as adventurous or exciting or “other.”
Different than eating african-inspired food in adventureland because at least i know and recognize the real-world culture they are aspiring to recreate, and understand the historical cultural context of viewing the non-western world as “other”. But when the only option to create an “alien” food in star wars land is to co-opt a little known (to white people) dish from a non-white culture, it loses a lot of the magic for me.
I mean on one menu alone they sell a middle-eastern style hummus/pita dish as “felucian garden spread”, a korean-style sticky ribs dish (with a blueberry muffin!) called “smoked kaadu ribs”, a vietnamese-inspired shrimp and noodles dish called “yonshrimp noodle salad,” and on and on. Sigh. I wish some s jw f****ard would write an article excoriating the racism of galaxy edge’s menus. But it just makes me more apathetic to star wars as a whole.
So now the only people who can truly enjoy the galaxy’s edge experience are non-culturally-informed white people? …which really exposes the limitations of disney’s/KK’s forced progressive agenda in that the new films dont reflect that worldview anymore, but they feel they have no choice but to marginalize non-white cultures to make the perfect theme park experience…its all about money.
How sad that the films would be better if they were still from a white male perspective and the theme park would be less offensive if it wasnt so culturally appropriative.
Sorry for the rant, its just mindblowingly hypocritical to me.
But the truly saddest cut of all is that they have a traditional Black (or at best “Southern-style”) dish on the same menu as the other more “exotic” items: “Fried Endorian Tip-Yip,” aka Fried Chicken, Mac and Cheese, and Seasonal Veggies. Smh.
Reports already out that they’ve gone to plastic utensils because people are stealing and selling the sporks, even the small plates on eBay.
Plastic forks and paper plates it is, because people suck.
