    Every time we are in Orlando we always make time to get the Bread Service from Sanaa. Today we also…read moregot the seasonal salad and samosas. After the bread service, I'm usually stuffed but the light salad was a nice light addition to our meal. The salad is very lightly dressed but we added a little leftover sauces from the bread service to brighten it up nicely. The samosas are large and filled with vegetables and beans. They also have mango chutney and a tamarind sauce on the plate. They are quite filling. This restaurant is located at Animal Kingdom Lodge so of course the atmosphere is very detailed right down to the restrooms. After our meal we usually enjoy walking out onto one of the balconies to see some of the animals that roam the property . Today we saw wildebeest, giraffes and another animal I can't remember the name of but it's always fun to look and a unique activity you don't need a park ticket to enjoy.

    We made the reservations thru Disney agency , and this restaurant was highly recommended …read more Our server Austin was very thorough but their computer reservation system did not have our reservation that we changed today from 5.45 pm to 8.24 pm due to late check in . Took 3 person to look puzzled and then when we get tired we ask if they going to seat us as our kids are hungry . They sat us at the bar that has a 8 seater . The 5 of us was relieved to be seated as we have a long day of traveling to Disney world with 2 babies . Kevin our waiter took our appetizer orders and we were happily drinking our wine and test tasting the appetizer when an employee came to ask if we mind sharing our 8 seater table with another family. We politely declined as our kids will have difficulty eating with strangers . Then came the manager Damon, and tell us that we have to give up the other side of the table as this is a common area table . Who cares what table you have , w make reservations for window seats a month or two ago and now we are seated at the bar with a 5 year old and a very hungry and irritable 2 year old and they keep bothering us to give up half the table . So he thinks that being the manager asking we would give in & share our table with strangers ? There are at least 1/2 the dining tables that has been vacated due to the lateness of the dining time . Son in law and I don't like his manner nor tone and couldn't believe Disneyland, a place where dream come true . Couldn't accommodate us with a peaceful dinner time with our 2 little birthday girls . We finally gave in because they are making a scene and I am pass being hungry . This manager has no management nor customer skills , why can't you open other tables for new customers instead of moving us and bothering us like we are being punished for their system loosing our reservations ! Our app still have the reservation but their restaurant doesn't have our name not information. But that manager Damon, took the Worst service person on my books , being traveler for years and tasting cuisines around the world , never had I enjoy the food but has a bad taste of customer service spoils my enjoyment . To Disney. My granddaughters says never eat there ever again in her life , she is only 5 years old .

    We had some friends in town who were staying at Disney and we met them for dinner. When they…read moresuggested Boma, I was a little nervous because I frankly don't know anything about African food! I'm a pretty adventurous eater, but I was even still a little nervous. I should've known better, it's Disney, they're gonna make sure that things are approachable for a large variety of people and it absolutely was! There were so many dishes that I enjoyed and I got to try new things that were exotic, but not too exotic. They did have some stuff that could be for a little bit more adventurous types, but I had enough things that were fun and different that I felt like I was taking advantage of the African cuisine and not missing out on that opportunity. It is a buffet, it comes with juice, tea, or maybe lemonade? I can't remember exactly, but you can get their POG juice if you want. It was a very large glass of juice, I will say that, more than I could drink! I'm glad that we finally went because I've heard about it for years and I've just never really been interested or willing to go, but this opportunity showed me that it is a wonderful spot.

    This review focuses on breakfast at Boma. Since it's an all-you-can-eat buffet, come hungry…read more Boma can be a little difficult to find because it's located in Jambo House. If you're staying near Kidani Village, the shuttle is usually quicker than walking, especially if you're close to your reservation time. The food was excellent, with a wide variety of African-inspired dishes, an omelet station, ham-carving station, make-your-own yogurt section, desserts, Mickey waffles, and traditional breakfast items. I especially enjoyed sitting near the open kitchen, where we could watch the staff prepare the food. The atmosphere was comfortable--not too bright and not too dark--and the service was excellent. Our coffee cups were never empty. We waited about five minutes after checking in for our early reservation, but by the time we left, the restaurant was packed and several parties were waiting. There are no animal views from Boma, so consider another restaurant at the resort if that's important to you. However, the food quality is excellent, and the value is fair for an all-you-can-eat buffet. Come hungry and enjoy yourself.

    Jiko is where it's at if you're looking for an above average dining experience at Walt Disney World…read moreas they are only open for dinner and the menu features some really delicious African inspired cuisine! Coming here they take you through the dinning room where they tell you about the wines with them having one of the largest collections of South African wines outside of South Africa incase you wanna get your drink on! Once we were seated we were given some of what they call giraffe bread and some butter that had a blend of an African spice in it that gave it a bit of tartness to it but it was still good and just hit the flavor profile a bit different but in the best way possible! Once we ordered for me it was all about the bone marrow crusted filet and I must say that was such a flavor packed piece of meat cooked perfectly with just the right amount of sauce on it making for one incredible meal, and if that weren't enough it came on top of some Mac and cheese and that right there was also super delicious some of the best mac I've had in a long time! So I chose to go with one of the enhancement and added the shrimp to my order and let me say these were awesome cooked perfectly with a bit of a chili sauce over them making them a little spicy but not too hot but definitely delicious in their own way! Overall this was a chill vibe to grab dinner on this given night and I definitely hope to return back here again in the future as that was definitely one of the best things I've ever had at Disney!

    Such a great dinner spot to celebrate birthday, anniversary, or just a special night out…read more Went with a party of 12 to celebrate a birthday and our server Emily was amazing! Made sure all questions were answered and that waters and drinks were always topped off. All the food was spectacular! Truly best for those who have an elevated palate with appetizers averaging $15-25 and entrees $40-70 ballpark. Would come back again to try something new and get the pork belly and scallop again!!! Everything was made gluten free for me ( celiac )!!

The green curry shrimp was a clear standout. They also had lots of chicken tenders and mac and cheese for the less adventurous kids. On top of that, the character interactions made this experience even better. It was easily the best part of our toddler's entire trip. I commend the characters because our toddler got so much facetime and every other kid there did too. This restaurant is a must-try if you're at Animal Kingdom! It's worth every penny.

    This review is based on today's visit!…read more Tusker is my choice when think to go to a theme character restaurant at Disney! I love it, but today unfortunately a lot of negative points. First, mickey, goofy, daisy and Donald were amazing, they appeared many times and always bringing magic moments. Our server was bellow average, didn't refill any drink, was kind angry (or tired) Last time to seat was 7 pm, but at 7;20 they closed some food islands and didn't replace the food, also some plates like the beef one was really chewy and dry, well overcooked. For 64 per adult + tip + tax you expect more But still my favorite character restaurant at Disney property, but don't arrive 30 min before the last call as we did.
