My Husband and I had a late Lunch at Sanaa on the last day of our WDW Trip. It was our last Disney Dining Experience before our evening flight home, and it was a wonderful way to close out our trip.

We started with the Bread Service, which was very good, and we both ordered the Potjie Inspired with different selections. I had the Butter Chicken, which was one of the best dishes I got to eat on our whole eight (8) day trip! The chicken was well cooked and tender, and the sauce was just delicious. My husband had the braised beef which was also quite tasty. However, if we ever get to eat here again we will most likely order one dish to split, b/c with the full Bread Service and two Mains it was quite a lot of food. I would definitely come here again, and would highly recommend to anyone wanting something different than standard American fare.

Pros:

- Truly Excellent Cuisine - Beautiful Views of the Animals on the Savannah during Daylight Hours

Cons:

None

Love Sanaa! We ate here for lunch while staying at Jambo House, so it was a little bit of a trek to get there, although I think there may be a shuttle that goes between Jambo and Kidani. We asked if we could sit by the window in order to see the animals and they said there was no way to seat us there, so that was a little unfortunate. The food was pretty good, but the bread service was the most memorable! Might be tough for picky eaters though.

Pros:

The bread service, you can see the animals if you are lucky.

Cons:

Exotic food options might not please picky eaters, even if you ask you may not get seated by the windows, Kidani Village is pretty far from everything else in Disney.

Excellent food and service in a nice setting. Our family enjoyed the bread service, the steak, the Biryani with chicken, and the Butter chicken. Every dish was delicious, but I would come back just for the bread service alone!

Pros:

Delicious way to try some new flavors that might not be familiar to you. The bread service alone is worth coming here for!

Cons:

A little expensive and can be difficult to get from here to another resort if your dinner is finished later in the evening.

Sanaa was so delicious!! Sanaa is located at Kidani Village at Animal Kingdom lodge. We were seated promptly and our server Jessy was awesome! We started with the Indian Bread service. You need to order this stat! The bread service includes 5 different Indian style breads with assorted dipping sauces. My favorite were the garlic ginger naan with the cucumber riata, red pepper hummus and the mango chutney. Not only is this appetizer totally instagram-worthy. It is also delicious and shareable. We also had the salad sampler which was fresh and flavorful. I sampled the butter chicken and braised beef with lentils and basmati rice. This was yum! But my boyfriend's mishkaki beef kabab was amazing!! I was definitely jealous. To end our meal we tried the Kenyan coffee and the spiced candy bar. The Kenyan coffee was delicious and very rich. If you are a snickers fan you will love the candy bar. If you are looking for an out of the box dining experience give Sanaa a try. I loved it and am definitely a fan!

Pros:

View of the Savannah, Yummy eats, bread service is delicious!

Cons:

Might not be the best for non-adventurous eaters

African and Indian cuisine. Food has always been excellent. The restaurant is set up like a marketplace and sitting under trees. A view of the savanna as well. Just a wonderful experience. Recommend bread service, samosas, potjie inspired entree where you get to pick several different options, and the dessert option where you get three desserts.

Pros:

Food choices Ambiance

Cons:

Location - can be hard to reach from other resorts

One of the best places we've ever eaten at Disney World. A thrill for any food adventurer wanting to try something new, with a variety of flavours and options to satisfy any picky eater or most allergies. Try something new, and don't forget to try 'Indian Style Bread Service'.

Pros:

pro - varied menu with a bunch of choices to appeal to all

Cons:

con - Is a fair distance away if you're staying at other resorts on property but still worth the trip

Perfect evening at Sanaa!

Pros:

As a traveler with multiple food allergies, dining out can be a real challenge. Not at Saana! The server listened carefully to my list of allergies, and responded she would like to send the Head Chef over to assure my needs would be met. HIgh points for that! Chef Dougie was great, with lots of creative suggestions. My meal was amazing, and my family even wanted tastes....that usually does not happen, as my food is usually pretty bland and boring.

Cons:

No cons at all! Our server Sara and Chef Dougie were terrific, and the food outstanding! Also of note the unique design and wildlife and naturalists nearby!
