Boma’s expansive full-service buffet offers a diverse selection of dishes inspired by the different regions of Africa.  Try everything from the aromatic spices of North Africa to the savory stews of South Africa.

A Fusion of Flavors

One of the hallmarks of Boma’s menu is its innovative fusion of traditional African flavors with contemporary culinary techniques. Diners can sample a variety of dishes, including the famous Durban-spiced roasted chicken, fragrant bobotie, and hearty vegetable couscous.

In addition, each dish is carefully crafted to showcase the vibrant flavors and textures of African cuisine, while also catering to the many palates of Disney’s international guests.

Next, Boma offers a selection of exotic game meats, such as ostrich and boar, prepared with a modern twist that highlights their unique flavors.

A Cultural Exchange

Ultimately, Boma serves as a platform for cultural exchange.  The restaurant’s staff, hailing from various African countries, are eager to share stories and insights about their countries.  In my experience, this provides diners with a deeper appreciation for the tapestry of African culture.

A Familiar Choice

While Boma offers a culinary journey through Africa, there are also choices available for guests who are not as adventurous.  Standard American staples are included on the buffet for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
