We had dinner at Boma last year -- we enjoyed it, although perhaps we'd heard too many good things about it, as we didn't think it lived up to the hype (the food was good but not great, a tiny bit exotic but not as much as we'd have liked, and some items -- like the bone-dry, rock-hard breads and rolls, or the gristle-filled carved meats -- were affirmatively poor) -- plus, it was an inconvenient detour as we weren't staying at AKL. Even though we had attentive service and a terrific window table at a far end of the dining room, the place felt (and sounded) like a noisy school cafeteria. If we had it to do again... well, we wouldn't. If we want a noisy buffet, we'll go to Biergarten or Tusker House, and if we want a quieter meal of African-inspired or Indian cuisine and a reason to visit the beautiful AKL, we'll go to Jiko or Sanaa.
