Our group of 9, including 4 children, had dinner at Boma during our spring break trip to Disney. (Do make reservations ahead during holiday weeks.) While we are not generally buffet fans, the food at Boma was excellent. There was a very wide range of dishes including many we had never heard of, all were good. They also had everything... More

This is a great buffet restaurant for groups with varied preferences and tastes. For those who are more adventurous, you can sample northern African inspired cuisine galore! For the picky eaters, there's still the standard boring chicken fingers, fries, etc. for you to eat as well. I happen to LOVE the soups and unique salad offerings. And this restaurant carries...

It was a good variety of food for everyone. African atmosphere with songs and food. Enough food to suit anyone. We ate breakfast there and it was no more costly than the other places. We got a carnation for Mother's Day.

An awesome breakfast buffet! We ate there every day during our week long stay. Lot of choices and some unique dishes, like an African take on corned beef hash.

We had breakfast at Boma for my birthday weekend, and I'm really glad I picked it! Yes, it is a bit pricier than your average breakfast, but for a Disney breakfast, I think it was a great value. The buffet had just about anything you could want.... freshly carved meats, made-to-order omelets, sprinkle pancakes, fresh fruit, pastries, waffles, etc. The... More

We enjoyed our buffet dinner at Boma! Wide variety, plenty of choices! The food satisfied both our adventurous and plain eaters in our party. Salads seem to be the highlight here, with meats being good and desserts kind of fell short. We loved exploring the Lodge after dinner and seeing the animals. Don't miss the playground if you have little... More

I give dinner at Boma 5 stars, the food was delicious and there was a great variety even for the unadventurous like me. Service at dinner was fast and always on the ball we never had to ask or wait for anything. Breakfast at Boma is only 3 stars. Most of the food is standard hotel food which is ok... More

We bring the extended family here for some unusual dishes, great service, food is served in pods, (circular serving areas) and it's self serve, all you can eat....and everyone takes advantage of it all. Pricey but great for special occasions.

Everything at Disneyworld is expensive, this is pretty much a fact. Yes, this buffet is 40 dollars per person, yes the menu is probably not as expansive as buffets outside the park of the same price, but this is Disneyworld and for this place Boma is worth every dollar. The food is excellent. Don't let the 'Africa' label scare you... More

Unique flavors in the food. The beef roast was excellent - tender and medium rare just like I like it.
