Has anyone tried Mara at AKL?

We'll be staying at AKL in a couple of days. Just wondering about Mara counter service food. Has anyone tried the African stew? If so what is it and is it good?

I liked it.

If you like curry you will love it. (The African stew that is)

We loved the menu at Mara, including the stew. The menu board was a little confusing for me - so I finally just started asking the cm's what was good each night I ate there and YUMMY! roasted chicken and cous cous with roasted veggies! One night in particular after a long day of park hopping and pizza at the Studios didn't look good at all to me, I went on down to Mara and ate a great late night supper using my CS credits. I was told the food was taken from the buffet of Boma and so - no crowd, sitting in Mara watching classic Mickey Mouse cartoons, I had my dinner and zebra domes. My dh sat at the table with me - full of his less than spectacular pizza, in wonderment that these two meals cost the same credit...wished he had waited.

I enjoyed Mara. I thought that it was designed well, had plenty of seating and that the selections were very good. I loved the butternut squash soup.

We ate there for lunch one time when we were checking out the AKL. It wasnt good at all, greasy limp fries and super greasy and mushy fried shrimp. We are staying at the AKL in Oct so we are going to give Mara another try

DW and I ate at Mara last month during a visit to AKL. I liked it a lot. Got the chicken pita with cous cous. Yum.

We ate there several times (usually for lunch) on our trip in March 2008. It had some nice variety (not just hamburgers and chicken strips, although those are available too) and the food was generally pretty good. It is a very convenient place for lunch if you are just hanging out by the AKL pool.

I dug the panini.

It was our favorite counter service restaurant during our December vacation. I would try to stick to the African specialties and avoid the burgers and chicken fingers that you can get everywhere else. Make sure to get a container of zebra domes out of the fridge for your dessert!

Thanks everyone! Can't wait to try it. What kind of vegetables and meat are in the African stew?

The meat is chicken. I dont remember what sort of veggies. The sauce has curry in it.
