Sanaa - Awesome

[danpam1024]

I agree! We enjoyed Sanaa so much on our last trip that we cancelled another reservation to go back another night!

that's what happened to us with Kouzzina!

Sanaa = Amazing, definately a top 5 restaurant on property!

Ssshhhhh! Sanaa is supposed to be a secret! If we keep telling everyone about it we won't be able to get ADRs anymore!

Adding pics here just to be complete.

The entrance to the Sanaa lounge/restaurant - located at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, in Kidani Village.



Walk into the lounge area and you see:



Look to the right of the bar and into the dining room:



Behind you and across from the bar:



Finally, looking back at the entrance...



The dining room looks like this:

Oh it really is. Themed to the gills and beautifully lit (like anything at AKL). More personal than Boma.

Thanks you for the review. We are eating there for the first time in May. I'm very excited now!!
Does anyone have pics of the food?

 

[BoarderPhreak]

Quite welcome - you'll enjoy it, surely.

As for pics of the food... Sorry. Way too hungry and it was way too good to stop for pictures.

The presentation was quite nice though. Small bowls, round and square. Trays under the double-entree option (two bowls for your choices and one for the rice).

I wished I could have tried it when I was staying at Kidani Village

I got me a real hankerin' for Sanaa!

I love the lounge/bar @ Sanaa. Spent some time there when @ Kidani.

It was my favorite restaurant on our last trip.

For the last couple of months now, I've had many friends travel down and I'm bummed I haven't been in too long... I've got a serious jones for Sanaa right now!

I see that you bumped the thread. At 180 days out, I grabbed an ADR for Sanaa for 5/31. Look forward to it.

You're in for a real treat! Arrive a little early and hang at the bar to give you extra time to soak it in... And don't forget to look outside (easier in the day time) for animals.

Sounds great! Gave thought to Boma. But I've already done the buffet breakfast. I'm sure dinner is just as good but I wanted a different experience.

I'll be hitting up Sanaa for my first time next Tuesday, I was looking forward to it already and now I'm only looking forward to it even more.

Two words:

Bread service

The 'Slow Cooked - choose two' is the way to go at Sanaa... Butter Chicken and Beef Short ribs... Mmmmmm...
