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

Having been to Disney several times and hearing many suggest Boma, we finally decided to give it a try. Our reaction was why did we wait so long. Food, service and the atmosphere was all perfect. Enjoyed some great food with flavors that are likely not to be experienced at many other places. From appetizers, to entrees, to desserts, all... More

This is at the Animal Kingdam resort. The decor has an African flair. Food is tasty, some with international flavors but still "normal" for kids. Jamba juice is yummy. We did the breakfast buffet. They had the plain Mickey shaped pancakes and African eggs/bread for those willing to go out of their comfort zone. Delicious and highly recommend even if... More
