  Outstanding lunch at Sanaa. I went with my husband on our anniversary. We had a reservation and arrived about 30 minutes early. We parked in the self parking lot which was free but they also have valet parking. We checked in with the hostess as soon as we arrived and requested window table seating. We were told there's no guarantee but they would try. To our luck, we got the perfect table with a great view. We ordered the bread service and the lamb kofta. Everything was so delicious and my husband loves spice so we also requested the spicy sauce that comes with bread service if you ask for it. Our waitress, Morgan, was amazing. So kind and friendly. She brought out a small complimentary dessert for our anniversary which was delicious and such a lovely way to end an amazing meal. The resort is so beautiful and it was so fun to see the zebras and giraffes walking around. I would love to go back! Thank you to Morgan and the Sanaa team for such amazing hospitality!

  Absolutely brilliant breakfast using the Quick service DDP. Must try the Eggs Benedict (my option was no sauce and extra strawberries). To be able to view the animals from your window table was awesome. Top tip: if you're traveling from another Disney hotel just hop on a bus to Animal Kingdom and then transfer at the station. Make the effort to get to Kidani Village for opening at 7.30am to ensure you bag a great table. You can also get a bit more up close and personal with the animals by accessing the secure outside decking area.

  Our expectations were high, but unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. When we arrived, Prince chose to acknowledge and serve another guest who had arrived after us, which we found both unacceptable and quite rude. There was no apology or explanation, and we were ignored again afterward — at that point, I seriously considered leaving. The restaurant had been informed it was my partner’s birthday, yet this was never acknowledged in any way, which was particularly disappointing for what was meant to be a special celebration. The food itself was decent, though rather overpriced for what it was

  This is absolutely the best meal I have ever had at a Disney resort hotel. The view alone is worth a reservation - imagine having lunch or dinner with a view of zebras and giraffes! But the food is the star of the show here. Definitely get the Indian bread service as an appetizer! Not only is each bread cooked to perfection, but the dips are phenomenal (we even added them to our entree for an extra layer of flavor). We had "simple" entrees for lunch, but Sanaa might have the best burger I've ever had - the goat cheese spread was a great touch! If you only go to one restaurant on Disney resort property, make it this one!

  I had eaten at the Animal Kingdom Lodge's other two restaurants on my last visit, so this time, I needed to finish the list by going to Sanaa. Getting a table was no issue and it was ready at exactly our reservation time. Sanaa is located very close to an observation deck where you can go outside and look at the animals roaming around the lodge. The last two times I was at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, it was too late and too dark to see any animals. This time, I was able to see multiple giraffes, zebras, gazelles, and birds. We had a lovely middle dining room table, which had excellent lighting for my food pics! To start, we opted for the Indian-style Bread Service. This comes with Five Breads and Nine Accompaniments. The five breads are: Traditional Naan, Garlic-Ginger Naan, Spiced Naan, Onion Kulcha, and Paneer Paratha. The 9 accompaniments are Cucumber Raita, Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, Mango Chutney, Tomato-Date Jam, Tamarind Chutney, Coriander Chutney, Garlic Pickle, Red Chile Sambal, and Spicy Jalapeño-Lime Pickle. My favorite was the onion kulcha and the garlic naan. The tomato-date jam and tamarind chutney were my favorites along with the mango chutney. The red chile sambal and the spicy jalapeño-lime pickle was a tad too spicy for me. For mains, I had the Spice Trail Pork Tenderloin with Sumac-crusted Grilled Pork Tenderloin, Pomegranate-Red Wine Reduction, Goat Cheese-Potato Purée, Pumpkin Suya, Carrots, and Charred Leeks. My husband had the Mbavu ya Chuma with Berbere-rubbed Flat Iron Steak, Roasted Sweet Potato and Coconut Purée, Chakalaka-cured Cabbage, and Coffee-Cocoa Jus. My husband's steak was cooked perfectly and was super juicy. My pork tenderloin was a little bit dry, but was still very tender. I really liked the goat cheese potato purée along with the charred leeks. To drink, I had the African Mai Tai with STARR African Rum, Bols Amaretto Liqueur, Pineapple Juice, and House-made Tamarind Simple Syrup. This was very tasty! I loved their take on a Mai Tai, which is one of my favorite drinks ever. We also had their Ankole Cake, with Spiced Chocolate Cake, Baobub curd, Coconut gel, Meringue "Horns", STARR African rum-macerated citrus. This was very good and super pretty. Service was solid, no extra notes. I think we both liked Boma the best out of all the Animal Kingdom Lodge restaurants, but this was a solid addition to my Disney World Resort restaurant collection.
