our last trip in April our then 11 year old claimed the Steak dinner to be the best steak he ever had!!! Came with some yummy roasted potatoes. We all tasted a bite and could not believe how tender juicy and FLAVORFUL it was. Its on our list again for april 2013

Sanaa, absolutely. I can see by the rest of the thread that a lot of other people feel the same way, and I would say that Sanaa is my favorite 1TS restaurant on property.

As for the folks who have more middle-of-the-road tastes, I think that the steak could be made without the chutney rub. I don't think that the Tandoori entrées are that spicy, but I'm not the best judge of that.

If I wanted a quiet, more intimate dinner I would choose Sanaa. Were I in a group, and that is often the case (travel party 6-8) then we would do Boma which is the only Disney buffet we still do.

Both very good in their own rights, and as you stated with different foods.

Sanaa - The Tomato soup w/ paneer cheese is so very good. The salad sampler, very fresh, and tender beef short ribs. I enjoyed Jiko a few times but much prefer Sanaa.

Boma - Very good asst. of soups. (faves, carrot & ginger, smoked tomato and a new favorite, lentil) Same with the salads and the dressings, chili cilantro vinaigrette, spinach & beet salad, all so fresh. The cous-cous, vegi kabobs, spiced chicken, love it all, even the boboti.

2 very different dining experiences, both very good food!

Yes, you can request it plain grilled without rub/chutney etc. Same with the fish, you don't have to have the curry broth!

Given a choice, I'd prefer Sanaa. The only time there's a choice, though, is dinner. Boma's my favorite breakfast anywhere.

Sanaa. I love the curry, it is amazing. Boma is good, but two out of the three times we have been we have had shoddy service.
