I ate there last trip for the first time.
I did not find it all that great. It was good, but not great.
We had a 5:30 ADR, got seated right away, and then waited in the buffet line for 20 minutes. The waiter said "there are no lines for salad or desser" - But who wantes to start on dessert (Plus I dont find Zebra domes that all fired great, and neither do my kids)
I did enjoy the food on the buffet. It was sort of bland in my opinion. The bobotie was very good, and that happens to be one of my favorite African dishes. I was suprised to see no Yassa, poulet or otherwise on the buffet. Poulet Yassa is like the hamberger and fries of Senegal. Maybe because it contains mustard, vinegar, and a TON of onions it might be too "crazy" to put out?
It's not a bad place, but I was expecting something more exotic. I really did not find the food there too far off the beaten path for my tastes. That coupled with the long wait and the loud atmosphere sort of took it down a couple of notches.
I will say that by the time we left, there was almost no line for the buffet. It must be when that first wave of diners hits at opening.

I agree it's the best buffet you can get at WDW, it's a must for us as well.

It was hands-down the best meal we had on our July trip. Very different flavors from what we're used to, but that's what made it so good.

Just got back from AKL.
Of the 3 sit downs at the resort, Jiko far and away was my wife and I's favorite.
In fact, Jiko's now our favorite in all of WDW. Amazing!
Sanaa was our second pick. Great food, great room.
Boma was our least favorite of the three. Not bad, just nothing special.
But then we're not big buffet people. When paying those prices, we just prefer to be served than stand in a line to get our own food.
However, if you like buffets, Boma does it's job with unique offerings.

I love Boma for breakfast! One of my personal favorites in WDW.
