Jiko, Sanna and Boma

[sanapp]

i was going to be staying at POFQ, but I switched to AKL when the discounts came out. Well then I got changing around ADRs. I booked BOma for a late breakfast after my DAH night. I have Jiko booked for dinner after spending the afternoon at DS. I have Sanna booked for my last lunch before a late evening flight home. I am second guessing if this is right or not. Are Jiko and Sanna different enough?

IMHO, they are all quite different. If I were staying at AKL, I, too, would be taking advantage of their 3 excellent restaurants.

They are all different and they should all not be missed. Animal Kingdom Lodge unquestionably has the best selection of restaurants. You've made excellent choices!!!

We have eaten at Boma and Sanna and they are very different. We haven't eaten at Jiko but based on the menu it sure looks different to me.

Great thanks for setting my mind at ease. This is a solo trip and the food is such a big part of the trip. I also have Yachtsman, Narcoosees, Boathouse, Brown Derby, Tiffins, Frontera Cocina, Yak & Yeti and Cali Brunch.

For Boma breakfast does Jungle Juice count as my drink or is there some type of mimosa I can get too?

 

[sanapp]

Oh I booked Monsieur Paul too and I am a bit concerned about that one too. I am not sure about the menu and you don’t see a lot of reviews on here for it.

I love all those places. I've done Boma breakfast twice this year so far. Sanaa and Jiko are on the docket for November trip but we've enjoyed those many times in the past. Monsieur Paul we did in February.

That looks like a great itinerary! Enjoy!

I think your plan looks awesome! We are staying at AKL in January and I'm really looking forward to going to all the restaurants.

We had breakfast and dinner at Boma on our last trip and loved both meals. It is buffet style and all you can to enjoy. It was nice because they do have the standard buffet fare but they also have some African dishes so it was nice to be able to try those in small amounts and go back from more if we enjoyed it ( which we did! )

We didn't eat at Jiko or Sanaa but the we did check out the menus for both - they are very different in what they offer. Both get high marks from reviews and it is nice that they are all located very close together at the resort.

I told myself this trip I wasn’t going to do any buffets. When I switched to AKL though I figured I had to try Boma for breakfast.

They are all great and definitely different from each other (note that you can get pap and chakalaka at both Jiko and Boma, but I think that is the only crossover dish). We love Boma for brunch - actually enjoyed it much more than Cali Grille "brunch at the top". And Jiko is our favorite restaurant on property, hands down. Sanaa is more Indian-inspired so you'll get different flavors there from the other 2 restaurants, which are African-inspired.

The rest of your list looks great too, lots of our favorites on there - enjoy!

All 3 are great options and all very different.
Boma is IMHO, the best buffet at WDW. It has plenty of options for non adventurous eaters, but many AFrican inpired dishes.
Jiko is elegant dining with wonderful African inpired food, great staff. One of our favorites.
Sanaa is Indian inspired food. Very different flavors than any of the other restuarants. The bread service is amazing! Almost a meal in itself.
Monsieur Paul is wonderful! As much as I enjoyed it when it was the Bistro, I think they improved it when it became Monsieur Paul. The lamb was very good (although I don't see it on the current menu).
You have a lot of our favorite restaurants.
Enjoy!

Jiko is so good, don't cancel that one. I had an amazing meal there, I wrote a review of it in my dining report (link in my signature)

Great choice! Boma breakfast is probably my favorite on property meal. I also think you made the right choice on the other two also. At Sanaa I like the offerings they have at lunch better than dinner (Tandoori sandwiches).

Very different and all very good! Relax and enjoy.
