We were a little nervous to try but we gave it a shot we were at universal studios all day and left late so I knew boma was open until 9:30 we had no reservations but I called the restaurant at 9:15 and asked them if we could still come in they said no problem take your time and we will see you when you get here. WOW was I pleasently surprised with the food everyone left stuffed the food was good and please save room for dessert because I could go back for those alone. Every single staff member was so nice from our waiter Jeff to the chefs I will make this a must do on our next trip.

I am a vegetarian. I told my waitress that and she went and got a chief to take me around to tell me everything that is vegetarian. There is so much to choose from. My husband who eats meat didn't even have any since he was eating all of the vegetarian food there too. The hummus is the best I have ever had. We were celebrating our 17th anniversary and our waitress came out with a special dessert for us. It was great. My daughter who ate meat really liked it too. I highly recommend this place

While I thought the food was good,kids found many items a little too over the top and different.No one left hungry I might add. Sides were quite good as was dessert.

Side dishes, buffet

I've always loved Boma, and usually I rave about the meat. Although the ribs were fantastic, and the beef also very good, I found the side dishes to be my favorite this visit. The two types of cous-cous I tried were both fantastic, as well as the pasta salad and the potato salad. Great food, always fresh.
The standout desserts were Zebra domes and peanut butter mousse.

First time dining here, and we booked it based on reviews from family. I am definitely not a picky eater and I do enjoy trying new things, but this was a little far out for even my tastes. One major thing I think they need to work on it describing what the different foods are, and contain. I was leery of a few dishes that I didn't know the ingredients. My 4 year old refused to eat anything, and we didn't get charged for his meal. Probably won't be back, even the desserts were disappointing.

Most convenient if you are staying at AKL
|

This is our favorite restaurant in the world! We stay at AKL mostly for Boma! OK, we love the quiet atmosphere, and the animals, and the great pool. But, BOMA is what I look forward to a year in advance! We stayed 6 nights February 2013, ate here for breakfast every morning, and for 3 dinners. It is so nice to have such a wonderful restaurant right in our resort. Reservations were readily available. Two mornings we were too tired for 7:30, I was able to rebook for 8:30 with no problem, and add dinner one night. Host and wait cast members were all calm, friendly and welcoming. We do not have food allergies, but we observed a chef walking the buffet item-by-item telling one couple what was safe and what to avoid for their allergies. I love that it is an open kitchen and you can watch the chefs at work.
My favorite foods are the African inspired dishes, but even my less adventurous DH and DDs find wholesome food they love. This buffet has so many options you can experience it as healthy and low-cal, or as sweet and decadent as you prefer! My Breakfast Favorites: Goat cheese and spinach scrambled eggs, roast corned beef, ham,turkey on carving board with wonderful condiments, grilled asparagus, Pap, African Fruit Salad, Various bread puddings (All Great) with vanilla sauce(Fav!), or pecan sauce, lots of fresh fruit, best breakfast sausages Anywhere, Quinoa porridge with toasted Quinoa for topping, Bobotie. They make omelettes to order also. Kids loved the pancakes and chocolate croissants, sweet pecan rolls,bacon, fruit, and the fruit juice. And, Most Importantly, they have GREAT Coffee!!! Our servers even offered us coffee to go! Dinner favorites:Chicken corn chowder (slightly spicy), Durban Chicken (not spicy, just moist and delicious), Roast pork loin, Watermelon salad, Couscous with dried fruit, various spinach salads,Roasted Root vegetables, Salmon (Had it 3 ways on 3 nights, all wonderful). Favorite Desserts:Zebra Domes, Kenyan Coffee tarts, and (YUMM!) my new fav---Guava Pannacotta. Desserts are spoon sized so you can try more of them!

Have dined here several times in the past and have never had an experience like this.
The service was very slow, our party had to keep asking other wait staff to find our waitress. Had ordered a glass of wine upon arriving, when the glass of wine arrived, we were almost finished dinner.
We were a large group on the dining plan, we reluctantly left the required 18% tip.
The food was very good, but could not overcome the
poor service.

Boma is an amazing buffet. They have standard items for the kids, but if you're adventurous, this is the place for you. There is hardly a wait time if you have an ADR. I love the atmosphere and the music. The server and staff are very kind. The buffet is amazing. They have meats, salads, rice, pasta, soup, breads and an amazing dessert station. I love the streak with the sauces, chicken, fish, the coconut rice, cous cous, falafel, corn chowder soup, potatoes with Afrittude. There's so much to enjoy and the cool thing is that the menu changes daily. The desserts are crazy and you always wish you had more space. The zebra domes, cheese cake, banana pudding and sauces are awesome! We've been going there for 9 years and will go back. This is a place that should not be missed! Come hungry!

My family & I ate here on Jan 30th. Our waiter was named Jeff and was very pleasant. He was attentive to drink refills and clearing plates.
The carving station was very good. The roast was a bit rare so the chef tossed it on the grill to get it closer to medium. The seafood stew is really great. This is one of the best buffets for fresh salads. There are many to choose from.
Not everything will be to everyone's taste but there is a lot to choose from and I'm always pleased with this dinner.

I wish I could have had more room to fit more of this food lol! I wish I was there right now!
Not to miss! Aaaaa++++++++

We were at WDW 12/13-12/30. We had breakfast and dinner at the Boma. Their breakfast is the BEST at WDW and their dinner is right behind. We go two to three times a year...breakfast here is always a must.

Food Too Exotic, Not Labeled
|
|
This was our first time at Boma and while most in my family of 9 enjoyed themselves, I could take it or leave it.
I am not that picky of an eater but most of the food was a little too exotic for my tastes and this meal was one of our first so I was concerned with getting sick during our vacation. I did eat lots of their chicken soup, a yummy spinach salad and had about 5 gallons of hummus, but a lot of the food just had a label but no description and when I got a piece of chicken, it was bright pink on the inside. There were lots of staff behind the counter but no one made eye contact for me to ask what the various things were.
We did enjoy the dessert bar, however. They had mini egg nog cheesecakes and the zebra domes were wonderful. We had the free dining so the price didn't factor in. I don't think I would go back to Boma, but others in my family enjoyed it. The best food I have ever eaten in my life was at Jiko about 7 years ago so I would go back there for sure. Boma was just too exotic for my tastes and without a description of what was inside of some of the items, I didn't really feel like I ate anything that would have been worth paying $40 per person for.

This was my first time to Boma and I loved it. I liked trying foods I had never tried before plus the meats were excellent. The ginger carrot soup was one of the best things I've ever eaten at WDW. This is a place you could eat every night and try something different.

We ate here on 11.15.2012 for the first time. There was a line for most of the food which was just horrible. Something made us have terrible stomach pain.
The staff is just okay, they did not come to fill up the glasses enough. I got 1 refill on the soda through out dinner because the staff was so poor.
I would NOT recommend this place to any body for dinner.

I cannot tell you how amazing this place is for dinner. We had been several times in the past for breakfast (delish!) and on our past trip went to Boma TWICE for dinner...that's how great it is. Definitely the best buffet on Disney property! It's loud and there's a lot of activity, but if you can block it out and just enjoy all of the wonderful food, you will NOT be disappointed!
