Expensive, but totally worth it. We had dinner here on a Monday night and it was absolutely fabulous! Loved the different flavors. Be sure to make a reservation though as it's very hard to get in.

I have never tasted African foods and spices before. I must say it was interesting. Not like any other. I am not a big fan however. The selections were nicely prepared and presented. Not too many as to be overwhelming. The roast beef was great!! The service was terrific!!! It was a little loud, but overall the atmosphere was very... More

Great way to try new foods and culture. They had several African options of foods I had never had the opportunity to try before. The hummus options were great and full of flavor. We had some time to kill before our reservation so we were able to go out onto the hotel grounds and see giraffes eating and walking around... More

Our group of 9, including 4 children, had dinner at Boma during our spring break trip to Disney. (Do make reservations ahead during holiday weeks.) While we are not generally buffet fans, the food at Boma was excellent. There was a very wide range of dishes including many we had never heard of, all were good. They also had everything... More

This is a great buffet restaurant for groups with varied preferences and tastes. For those who are more adventurous, you can sample northern African inspired cuisine galore! For the picky eaters, there's still the standard boring chicken fingers, fries, etc. for you to eat as well. I happen to LOVE the soups and unique salad offerings. And this restaurant carries...

It was a good variety of food for everyone. African atmosphere with songs and food. Enough food to suit anyone. We ate breakfast there and it was no more costly than the other places. We got a carnation for Mother's Day.

An awesome breakfast buffet! We ate there every day during our week long stay. Lot of choices and some unique dishes, like an African take on corned beef hash.
