Nomad Lounge received a menu refresh, adding several small plates, including grilled beef kefta, a naan-and-dip trio, sticky pork ribs, and plant-based wild mushroom dumplings. A new charcuterie and cheese board was also introduced. At the same time, multiple longtime items were removed, including the tuna poke bowl, Tiffins bread service, Cuban frita sliders, chicken satay, and mushroom bao buns. Disney also expanded allergen-friendly versions of many of the new dishes. This comes just shortly after Tiffins Restaurant also received a large menu overhaul.
