Disney Springs is already filled with various restaurants, but soon, Guests visiting the shopping and dining district will be able to enjoy the flavors of India as Food Network star Maneet Chauhan will have her very own restaurant at Disney Springs.

"‼️New Restaurant Coming to Disney Springs‼️," the official Disney Springs Instagram wrote. "We are excited to share Maneet Chauhan, the acclaimed James Beard Award-winning chef and Food Network star, and Vivek Deora, international hospitality entrepreneur, are bringing their famed Indian cuisine to @DisneySprings with the opening of EET later this year. 🍽️ Be sure to check back for all the updates on this modern, fun Indian-inspired concept!"

Maneet Chauhan spoke out briefly on this new opportunity with Disney, saying, she is "Soooooo excited to be there."

Other fans expressed their excitement as well, commenting things such as "Yessssssss! Indian food is my absolute favorite. If choosing a restaurant in Disney Springs wasn’t hard enough!" and "Two words: Awwwwww yeaaahhhhh!!!!! 🇮🇳🍚🥘🥘🍛."

Maneet Chauhan is an Indian American chef and television personality who has appeared on Food Network's "Chopped" and "Tournament of Champions". She has also appeared on “The Next Iron Chef,” “Iron Chef America,” and as a judge on “Worst Cooks in America.”

Maneet Chauhan recently spoke out about what Americans are getting wrong with Indian cuisine, explaining, "The biggest misconception was [the] $8.95 all-you-can-eat buffet and [that] once you eat [Indian food], you will not eat for the next two days because it's greasy and oily. That's not true, because Indian food is so seasonal and light and delicious, and it's so much beyond the saag paneer and the chicken tikka masala."

Chauhan then brought up curry, saying that there needs to be a realization that Indian food is much more than just curry powder. "The first step is to dispel that misconception that Indian food is all about curry powder," she explained. "If you think about it, traditional Indian food doesn't have anything known as curry powder. That's the first step — being the spokesperson and showing the best and the funnest version of Indian food, and that's what I've been doing for the last 20 years."

She went on to say that while Americans still have a long way to go with learning the ins and outs of Indian cuisine, she believes people are starting to embrace the food. "Now, you see the American audience understanding the nuances of different regional Indian cuisine, which makes it so much more interesting and gives us a bigger platform for us to play with different ingredients and techniques," she said.
