EXCELLENT! Family restaurant with awesome view and food. My family was in Walt Disney World for vacation last week and even though we stayed at the Wilderness Lodge, we went to the Animal Kingdom Lodge to try out Boma. With 3 small children and a husband who's a picky eater, I was skeptical that they would be able to find some African food that they liked. Boy was I wrong. It's a buffet, and it's HUGE! Everything we tried was spectacular! No one had anything that they didn't like. My husband recommends the beef loin, and I recommend trying ALL the desserts, they are bite-sized and all of them are ridiculously delicious. We got to try a lot of things we've never even heard of before and it was all excellent. We will definitely be going back to Boma next year when we return to Disney, too bad there isn't one in Denver!!!…
Past Cast Memeber. I actually worked at Boma for about a year. I can say that not only is the food outstanding and the atmosphere wonderfule, the chefs are great. Chef TJ makes the best PuPu platters and fried Oreos! Chef Jenny, Chef David and Chef TJ are who I worked with the most and they were outstanding individuals, teachers and guest service winners. They would go out of their way to make sure that a guest had what they needed and that their experience was one that would be remembered. I learned so much from them about how to help create that everlasting memory that Disney wants every guest to have as well as how to prepare great food. And as stated by "sashafl" we were proud to be a leader in vegetarian cuisine for the guests. I am so proud to say I worked there and want everyone to know how wonerful it is.…
Best vegetarian food I've ever had. This place is a dream come true for vegetarians! There are so many options to choose from! There is even protein to be found: lentils, tofu, beans, hummus. Most of the vegetarian options are also vegan, which is really refreshing. The tastes are truly amazing. You can try 12 different things and no two will taste the same. It's a steal for under $30! Last time we ate there the chef came out to meet us and brought us several special vegetarian platters. If I lived closer, I would easily make this a weekly dining experience.…
Culinary Adventures in the Magic Kingdom!. If you aren't already in awe of the ambiance as you walk through the doors of Disney's Animal Kingdom lodge or taken by the animals roaming free outside the windows, you will definitely complete your awe struck experience by eating at Boma. You couldn't find a wait staff that is more friendly that will explain the different cusine presented in a buffett style setting.... No, this isn't your typical macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes and meatloaf type of buffett.. its much more eclectic and grandiose sprinkled with a little bit of magic that you would expect from the chefs at the happiest place on earth. The buffet transports your palette to a continent that your mouth has probably not explored before. If you celebrating a special occassion call ahead for reservations and let the staff know of any event you planning to celebrate at Boma. Even if you aren't celebrating anything, reservations are highly recommended as it is quite the place to eat for the good food and ambiance of a beautiful hotel restaurant. Be prepared to be opened minded and try new things, of course their will always be the "safe foods" for those who aren't on a quest for a culinary adventure.…
Wonderful tastes and variety!. Boma is amazing! It's expensive, but well worth it for the vast array of African foods in the buffet. The carrot ginger soup, salmon and hummus are 3 of the most tasty things there. The menu also changes according to the day, so dinner is always a surprise. It's a little noisy and crowded.. no romantic dining here, but if you want a taste adventure and love trying new things, this place is for you. Not to mention that it's in the beautiful Animal Kingdom lodge where you can stroll the grounds to see animals afterwards and walk off the huge meal! It's sister next door, Jiko, is better for business and romance, but I would rather visit Boma.…
