NOTE1: Boma is outstanding for breakfast. For dinner it's below average and worth
passing by. I've worked in Africa, and the menu items are highly Americanized, which
distorts the flavor - it is neither African no American and comes off as a mish-mosh.
African and Mid-Eastern are spiced with cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, cardamom, which
can make food appear sweet. IF DOING DINNER, DO THE SOUPS. There are 15-different
soups offered at five per night. Leave the meats, salads, the desserts, except for the
Zebra Domes. FYI: bring the ear plugs, as it does get REALLY noisy; we thought AKL was
a good location - but it sounds like a herd of elephants coming through.
.
NOTE2: We always ask the waiter what he recommends. Much to our surprise was his comment
of, "taste all of our soups, as they are terrific, and leave the rest of the buffet to the tourists."
This was a birthday dinner, so the statement really stood out, and it was true.
