Which to pick??

If African or Indian type food is new to you I would choose Boma's and try everything. If you are already a fan of these foods I would go with Sanaa. I recently went to Sanaa for the first time and can't wait to go back again.

Boma is one of our all time favorite meals on property. So many unique and delicious options! We haven't tried Sanaa yet, though. We'll be eating at both of them this summer.

We have tried both. We were not fans of Boma, at all, and we consider ourselves pretty adventurous when it comes to food. We did, however, really enjoy our meal at Sanaa. Their bread service alone is worth a meal there.

Remember that Boma is a buffet and Sanaa is a regular service restaurant.

One thing that always confuses me is why do folks spend the money at Boma but end up only eating chicken strips and macaroni and cheese?!? :shrug:

For us Sanaa was the better choice. We did enjoy both but we are a family that likes curry type dishes.

We did not care for Boma. We aren't big buffet fans. Sanaa had some good choices for people who do not like really spicy foods and wonderful choices for people that do:mickey:

Can someone tell me how to pronounce Sanaa? I'm sure I'm doing it wrong in my head. :blush:

You don't pronounce the second "a" after the "n". So just Sa Na. I'm used to Hawaiian so I was saying Sa Na Ah. At least what they told me at the desk when I checked in and the other CMs said it the same way.

These 2 places are among our favorites at Disney. But both are so different, so it's tough to give you a recommendation. The food and choices at Boma are amazing - it gives you the opportunity to pick and choose and try things. They have the best soups anywhere!

But Sanaa is also quite amazing. As someone mentioned above, the bread offerings are very good. I literally could go there just for bread, spreads, and dessert!! But they have many other delicious meals, too. If you go there, ask your server for recommendations, especially if you like or don't like the food spicy. They are usually knowledgeable and helpful. Enjoy!

Boma hands down for dinner or breakfast. Sanaa for me was just horrible. I guess I'm not into African / Indian inspired food. The atmosphere was great and the server was top notch but the food was ...... not so good.

this is a lot of great info!! This is tuff!!

Boma tends to be crowded and LOUD. If you are looking for a more relaxing sit down meal then I would suggest Sanaa. If you do not mind CHAOS children running around and buffets then the food at Boma is excellent! Both have wonderful food, the atmosphere's are different though due to the service vs. buffet.

If one doesn't like Indian food, would one not care for the food at Boma? I and my kids are not big fans of Indian food at all. I made an ADR there for August and now I'm thinking I should change.

Boma is African inspired. Sanaa seems to be the one with an Indian flair.

Oh okay. Thanks.
