Tusker House, Jiko, Boma or Sanaa? (with kids) - The DIS Discussion Forums

cheryterese · 10-19-2009, 04:15 PM

We want to try all three of these places, but can only try one for our upcoming trip, following our day at Animal Kingdom......which should it be? We are a vegetarian family with three kids (4.5, 2.5, and 14 months) and we love African/Indian/Ethnic food. Help! My husband and I think all of the menus look great and we just can't decide!

Well we've only tried Jiko and Boma, with Kids, I would definitely recommend Boma. It's got enough interesting variety for the adventurous, but lots of choice for the not-so-adventurous ( like my then 9 year old ). We all loved it, and the servers were fun too

P.S. We did Dinner AND Breakfast here

I have been to Boma & Tusker House.
Love Boma can't go wrong.

Tusker not a lot of food offerings. I wouldn't go back.
Jiko- on my 2 do list.

We had lunch at Tusker 2 weeks ago. There aren't alot of offerings and well, we just didn't care for the food. Maybe it was too exotic for our tastes. We won't go back.

We did both Boma and Tusker for dinner in June and Boma won hands down. We ARE picky eaters and still found PLENTY to like at Boma, we had to be rolled outta there

I really didn't like anything at Tusker House - everything had a sickly sweet taste to it.

Boma offers one of the better vegetarian selections at WDW and we love eating here.

Tusker has a good selection but not as much as Boma.

Jiko, being a signature/fine dining, takes alot longer to dine and that might not be what you are looking for with 3 young children.

Have not tried Sanaa yet but the reviews on here have been great.

It sounds like you're not at all picky, and I think some of the people who responded are. We LOVED Tusker House. I wouldn't go so far as to say it was better than Boma, but my DH thought it was. I ate a little bit of chicken curry, but otherwise stuck to nonmeat dishes. Some of standouts were couscous dishes (hot and salad) and samosas with fresh mango chutney. I must have eaten at least a dozen kinds of delicious and unusual salads. They also had wonderful breads and interesting desserts. I do love the soups at Boma, but Tusker House was a lot of fun.
