Anyone ever dine at Sanaa at AKL? If so, any recommendations would be appreciated. We are considering a first time visit this trip and I would like to know what everyone recommends.
We loved the bread service which was enough to fill me up. My DS22 had the trio of stews (sorry I don't remember the name). He loved that. Just don't miss the bread service!
We ate at Sanaa twice last month on our first stay at AKL. LOVED it! We stopped at the lounge for a beer after a long, hot day at the parks. We had no dinner plans so decided to try the bread service. Opted for all 9 dips. It was so good. The different dips were refreshing, spicy, creamy, just so fun.
A couple of nights later, we had dinner. We started with the mussels...we love mussels. These were delish, broth was so good with a fennel infusion that was so tasty with the ginger bread that was served with it. We then had the salad sampler. They were all wonderful, esp. the watermelon salad. For entrees', we had a "pick two", butter chicken and the bison dish and basmati rice. Other entree was the braised lamb shank. All were very tasty and I can't believe we ate it all. We usually get one app, one entree and split. We even got a dessert...the banana kulfi dessert.
I was full for 2 days....next time I would do maybe split an entree or even skip. The mussels, bread and salad sampler would make a great meal for us to split!
Hope you try it! It is a special place!
They offer a special lunch called something like Dining with a Disney Animal Specialist. We did it last week & loved it. You have to book ahead & it is only offered on certain days.
It is 4 courses (I think about $50/adult), you get the bread service to share with all 9 sauces & 3 different types of bread, then each person gets 3 salads, watermelon, mango, & chick pea. I would say each was at least a cup.
Then the entree is the butter chicken & mahi mahi with basmati rice.
Dessert was 3 individual servings of Chai Cream, coconut cheesecake & a chocolate mousse per person. It was all amazing!

It does NOT have a link to make ADRs even on their website. I suppose I would have to call to get info and ressie.

That's so good! I've done it twice and have reservations for this coming Wednesday.
My favorite regular lunch food offering is the chicken tandoori (or shrimp tandoori) on Naan bread with cucumber raita. My favorite bread in the bread servic is also the Naan bread.
I love the green curry on the "Slow Cooked and Well Seasoned" dinner.
Bread service is good.....
I don't think we've had a bad meal there and even picked Sanaa for our Christmas dinner this year.
Did you have to call to make reservations? And do they offer this for lunch and dinner?
