Although slightly louder than Sanaa, this restaurant too allows for a relaxing meals. They offered a large number of different types of food full of flavor and variety. Our service was decent and we spent some time outside watching the giraffes as the sunset, truly magical.

I'm not sure why anyone would give this restaurant a bad rating. The food was EXCELLENT! I can't believe people bring their kids here considering how expensive it was. We left our five year old at the hotel with his aunt, and this was mommy and daddy's "date night", and it was wonderful. Will remember it for year's to come.... More

Loved the buffet at Boma. Was crowded beyond belief. The ribs and the soups were my favorite. We ate too much but it was incredible.

I choose this place after reading the reviews and boy was this a mistake. I have been to other countries and tried different foods but this place was nasty. The food didnt have any taste to it and really made me and my son sick to our stomachs.I guess you live and learn because I would never try dinner here... More

This was our first visit to Boma after dining at Jiko several years ago. Boy, do I wish we had come here before. Our meal was excellent. Our server was attentive and kept all the glasses full and the dishes cleared away. My parents joined us, and this made me a little nervous at first as my mother is not... More

We have dined at Boma twice over a four year span. On the last visit we took our four year old grandson. What a wonderful time we had. The food is wonderful and consistently so.The is a fun, family friendly environment with excellent cuisine and service. We are hoping to return some day.

This was actually the 3rd time I have been to Boma so I thought it was time I write a review. My boyfriend and my mom were with me this time and they loved it as well. This is a BUFFET and we've only visited for breakfast, but they offer dinner as well. They have everything you can imagine including;... More

We manage to eat a meal at BOMA every time we are in WDW. Great service and the buffet is delicious. On our most recent visit, the server was extra nice and went out of his way to make our meal memorable. The Disney magic is here! If you are not staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge, it is worth the...

If you enjoy the sounds of bongo music and lively upbeat experiences than this is the place. The food is quite exceptional. The staff are very pleasant and polite. The only drawback for us was that the restaurant was at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. It was a little far from our resort.

We visited the Boma dinner buffet with 3 adults and 3 kids ages 7-13. Everyone found plenty of food they liked, but most of the dishes were fairly bland. We made a reservation well in advance but still waited 30 minutes for our table. Service was fine but it's a buffet, our waitress only brought us a drink and the... More
