BOMA- Review Please ?! :)

[Tinkerspell]

I'm going to disagree with the majority. We really did not like Boma at all. (Double emphasis intended.) My son adores ribs and he couldn't stand them there. I found the food to be very disappointing, with choices like potato salad and slaw. Basically, it all struck me as American foods with African spices. The one exception to that was the soups, which were quite tasty. The watermelon rind salad was nice and cooling, but I was the only person who liked it.

Something to think about too though was that we went into dinner at 4:00 because it was the only reservation we could get for that day. We'd just spent the day at AK and were roasting hot. (The lobby of the resort felt great while we waited.) But that was also in very early June, like the first day. If you're going in August, it will be even hotter. If you find temperature impacts your appetite and enjoyment, you may want to reconsider eating there.

We loved BOMA, it was one of our favourites. There was variety and great flavours. The only thing we didn't like? The layout of the buffet. It felt like you were jumping the line when you went directly to any of the stations.

We will eat here again. It was that good. Try the Mulligatawny Soup!!

We had dinner at Boma in September of last year and it was one of my favorite restaurants. We are returning this year too! I was pretty nervous since my mom was going to be with me and my kids (before DH met us) and she is pretty boring when it comes to food choices... she was not too excited (!) when I told her we were going to AKL for an African themed buffet. But she LOVED it! We also loved walking around outside and seeing the giraffes and other animals... they are so close!

This year I'm taking DH and the kids and I have no doubt they will love it too.

Loved it there! We enjoyed it so much we have every intention of going again in May if the rest of the crowd we are going with wants to try it.
