I would like to know which of the table service restaurants at AKL is the best. My wife and I are staying there in December.

Thanks,

Lloyd
 
I live Boma. Not a big fans of buffets, but this is an exception. Unique offerings, great soups and zebra domes!

Jikonwas ok, but 4/4 filets were cooked wrong. That is really not acceptable

We love Boma and Sanaa. I really think Jiko has gone downhill. Our last visit the food and service were really disappointing.
 
Boma for sure. Even with the guy that cuts you the itty bitty piece of meat at the carving station.

We enjoy Jiko for a lovely date night. It's our favorite restaurant at WDW.
We like Saana for a late lunch. It's not as busy, and it's fun to see the animals.
Boma offers the opportunity to try an assortment of dishes if you'd like.

All three are very good. I don't think you'll go wrong with any of them.
 
Like all three, Jiko is my favorite, prefer Sanaa for lunch rather than dinner.
 
They’re all great. I tend to think Jiko is a little overpriced, but it could be a nice splurge. Like someone else stated, Sanaa is great at lunch because then you can actually look out and see the animals. If you go to Sanaa you can’t miss their bread service!

Boma is also great. I’ve only had positive experiences there and it’s fun to try unique foods without the commitment of purchasing an entire entree!
 
Depends on what you want. If you are looking for a casual buffet then Boma is the best option. We haven't done Sanaa yet but we love both Boma and Jiko. If we are looking for something a bit fancier for a special occasion then we prefer Jiko.
 
Jiko is my favorite restaurant on property. I love the bread service at Sanaa. Boma is good. You can’t go wrong with any of them.
 
Its a personal opinion, as all 3 are very good.
Our favorite is Jiko by far. Great food, service and love the atmosphere. African inspired food.
Sanaa is very good, Indian inspired food. amazing bread service. Not as dressy, and noisier.
Boma is one of the best buffets. Lots of choices for the adventurous and non adventurous eaters.

We absolutely love Boma. It is the only buffet we will go to.

The lounges al AK are awesome. Victoria Falls, Sanna, and the lounge at Jiko. All awesome.

Jiko is my favorite signature.

Enjoy!!
 
Very subjective - depends on taste and preference for sit-down versus buffet. Jiko is a favourite of ours. Boma is nice but not a favourite and we typically do it for breakfast rather than dinner. Haven't been to Sanaa but it's on the list to try. As an aside, Victoria Falls is a lovely place for drinks. Pick your food preference by looking at the menus.

We agree with Boma. My wife hates buffets but Boma is the exception. Saana is also quite good. Never tried Jiko.
