Our family has now had both dinner & breakfast at Boma & we can't say enough good things about it. The food is so good & the service is always wonderful. We make sure to get a reservation every time we visit WDW. We're heading back in May & are booking a breakfast & dinner reservation during our stay.

I don’t usually eat at buffets but they are great at Disney because the food is switched out fresh quickly and they are fast! Boma breakfast was excellent. Some adventurous food for foodies and staples for picky eaters. All of it was good.
Pros:
POG juice is served when you sit down.Cons:
Kind of expensive for a non character meal.Reviewed by DeniseKH Review Date: 04/26/2022

We were in Disney from February 1-11, 2022 and we ate at Boma for the first time. Last time we were there in October 2020, we ate at Saana and were going to eat there again, however, because of an allergy in the family, we wanted to have more options. I am so glad we decided to do so. There was a wide array of choices and our waiter Isi was so kind. Animal Kingdom Lounge kills it again.
Pros:
Décor, food, cast memberCons:

My family and I have been staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge's Kidani Village for over 10 years, and Boma is amazing! There's something there for everyone, and we eat there every single day for breakfast. The walk from Kidani Village to Jambo is not very long at all, and it's so enjoyable. My brother and I have allergies (mine being gluten/dairy and his being eggs/dairy/nuts, and also wheat) and the people there are so accommodating. The server we have had for these past several years, Dilly, is so nice and the chefs are willing to do anything. They have gluten-free donuts and the best gluten-free waffles!
Pros:
accomodating to allergies the nicest staff beautiful atmosphereCons:

Boma!!!!!!! I first heard about Boma on Disney Food Blog and was so excited to eat here for dinner to try the African inspired flavors. I'm happy to share that this restaurant definitely lived up to the hype. Boma is a buffet at Animal Kingdom Lodge Jambo House that has something for the adventurous eater (curries, oxtail, seafood stew) and the not so adventurous (corn dog nuggets and macaroni and cheese). The restaurant is decorated with wood carvings of African animals and feels like you are eating at a safari.
Our server Steve was kind enough to recommend his favorite items on the buffet and also was very efficient in clearing our used plates and giving us new cutlery between trips to the buffet. At the end of the meal he even surprised me with a Vier ("celebrate") brownie cupcake for my birthday. The buffet has a rotating variety of soups, salads, a rotisserie section with all the sides (with an African twist of course) and tons of desserts. I tried to sample a little bit of everything they had to offer that day and stand outs for me were the chicken salad with chili cilantro, eggplant salad, oxtail stew with basmati rice, the butternut squash soup and the roasted pork shoulder. My favorite desserts were the Kenyan coffee bites, Oreo cheesecake bites and the brownies. The zebra domes with chocolate liqueur were interesting but not my favorite. We also sampled the Mount Kilimarita and the Kentucky Mule, however this meal only includes non-alcoholic beverages with the buffet pricing. Boma also offers a breakfast buffet which I would like to come back to try. Come here hungry and leave here full and happy!
Pros:
Wide variety of dishes, nice way to try African flavors, beautiful restaurantCons:

Wonderful way to try many different foods from the continent of Africa. The choices are many and interesting. The restaurant is beautiful and the resort as well.

Have never had a bad meal
Pros:
Different types of foods. Love all the soups and foods you normally won't see anywhere else. My picky daughter loves this place. The desserts are out of this world as well!Cons:
It's a little bit of travel to get there-but so worth it!Reviewed by Dee519 Review Date: 04/21/2019

this is by far an excellent buffet to go to. the choices are fantastic - so many new items to try. My husband has an onion allergy. the chef came out and walked him around the food telling him what did NOT have onions and then asked him what items other than those he might like to have - then he/she would go in the back and prepare a beautiful and delicious dish fit for a king - onion free. Such great service all around there and the food and ambience is fabulous. This is a must go to place for us. Love the Jungle Juice too
Pros:
Food and service and atmosphere is fantastic and the price is reasonableCons:
Because it's in a resort that's so removed it may be a challenge for some to get to who do not have a car.Reviewed by Jason V Review Date: 09/29/2018

Not your average buffet. Great selection with plenty of healthy and interesting options. Great choice for vegans and vegetarians. Breakfast is one of the best values on property.
