Located on the lower level of Jambo House at Animal Kingdom Lodge Resort is the best buffet on Walt Disney World Property - Boma Flavors of Africa. We went for dinner the other night and between the food quality, selection, flavors, and service - we were absolutely blown away. Enjoy!

My wife and I are eating at Boma as I write this. Thanks to this video, we're here and we're sitting right beside the table you guys sat at (the one in the rounded corner closer to the meat station - something my wife was very excited about - we're both big fans). I'd say your review of each item is entirely on point.

So happy you reviewed my favorite Disney Restaurant. Over the decades we have made great memories at Boma since it opened. We have never been disappointed. I can't wait to go back.

This vlog was awesome!! My best friend I travel from California to Florida for our birthday month in October and always make Boma a must do. When you go for your birthday they make you an awesome dessert plate that sometimes has your name or a birthday message hand written with icing and small delectable goodies. This place along with Nomad Lounge and Tiffins are some of our favorites. Unique and tasty food, stellar service (many of the staff there were African pre-Covid) and a warm inviting African village atmosphere make this one of the best Disney property experiences. Your B roll with that catchy music got me so excited; I could not click on this review fast enough! Thanks as always.

Boma is our favorite Buffett! We just returned and definitely enjoyed BOMA! We did have tusker house, but due to your review, we did cancel, and we end up doing ARtist Point! (loved). Our family has 3 teenagers, and one is special needs, and we all LOVED IT! We been here a few times, and we loved it each time! Unpopular opinion, I do not like zebra domes.

Thanks for this. We hope to make it there on our next trip in December. I've been wondering if you've made a list of all your reviews and sorted them by score. Does each restaurant's score make sense when compared to its neighbors on the list?

Boma is a great Disney restaurant, not for the amazing food, but because it is the best buffet. Over the last 15 years I have gone there, the quality has never wavered. The food at Boma is interesting. This is not a bad thing! I can have bacon, eggs, hash browns and toast almost anywhere. Boma offers you a chance to try new things. I will suggest not hitting Boma Breakfast hard on a park day. Boma is best enjoyed on a break/resort day. It is not cheap, but well worth the trip. If you are worried about the food being too strange, remember it's Disney. They try real hard to offer something for almost everyone. I agree with Dan. Boma Bread Pudding over those Zebra Domes all day, every day.

Our ADR window is opening up soon and now I’ve added Boma to the possible list! What do you think about Boma vs Sanaa? Two boys here too but 7 and 9. Also have y’all ever reviewed hoop dee doo? Wondering if it’s worth the commitment price and time wise!

@AddictedtotheMouse Жыл бұрын

We’ve got Hoop Dee Doo coming up in a few weeks 🤗. Hmm, Boma if you’re really hungry and want an amazing variety. Sanaa if you’re wanting to save a little money and order a La carte. But if you go to Sanaa, you have to get the bread service.

Boma does have an actual theme besides just Africa. A boma a believe is a surround that they use in some African nations either to keeep animals in or out depending on the purpose. That’s why around the restaurant there are what looks like little surrounds make of bamboo or sticks or what have you. Are they trying to keep your money in, or the flamingos from taking your food?😂

Growing up in a bigger place, you'd have duplicates of certain fast food places on opposite sides of the town. People who lived there would know to not go to "that Wendy's" because they had terrible QC and poor service compared to the "good Wendy's". I feel like Disney suffers from that a little bit. Some restaurants have different quality and service than others, even in the same pricing bracket. You can go to Palo on DCL and get the same meal on different cruise ships and have one be great, and one be mediocre. This video makes me wonder who is running Boma, and if they can get that person or those people to try to fix some small things at some of the other places on property. Luckily a bad restaurant by Disney standards is still pretty decent. I always feel a bit "nitpicky" when criticizing Disney joints, but hey, if you raise the prices to the point that a meal for 4 costs $250-$400 with a tip and drinks then I want the world.
