Review of Makahiki at Aulani Disney Resort

March 2022 update: although the restaurant is a sit down, 3 course meal now, it was still amazing! The food was great and I love that they can literally do anything gluten free! The waitress also told me that Disney never does any cross contamination (dedicated fryer, toaster, waffle maker, cutting board, utensils, etc etc)! And the food always comes out marked! I had the Mickey waffles with pastries and fruit for breakfast and then the steak, Caesar salad and caprese salad for dinner! Well taken care of again and again!

March 2020: I am always blown away with the service and knowledge of Disney staff! Such an amazing place for breakfast! The chef came out to my table before I got up to check out the buffet, he asked about my allergies (peanuts and gluten) and walked me through the entire buffet pointing out what I could and couldn’t eat! He understood the concept of cross contamination and told me what he could make in a separate pan or oven! Gluten free waffles, pancakes, breakfast potatoes and sausages! Gluten free toast! An amazing omelette bar! All delicious choices!
