I'm already a huge…read morefan of Ethiopian food--it's easily in my top three favorite cuisines--so I was excited to finally give Selam a try after visiting the other Ethiopian restaurant in Orlando for many years. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming. Abraham, who I believe may be the owner, thanked us for coming in before we even ordered. It was such a small gesture, but I really appreciated it. You could tell there was genuine gratitude for people choosing to spend their time and money supporting the restaurant. The restaurant itself was very clean and inviting. As soon as you walk in, you smell the incense and immediately get the vibes! We ordered the meat and veggie combo, which gave us a great variety of dishes to try. If you like spice like I do, the lentils and spicy beef were definitely standouts. The collard greens were probably my least favorite and left a little more to be desired, but the other vegetables? We smashed those! Everything was flavorful, filling, and fun to experience together. If you've never tried Ethiopian or Eritrean food before, come with an open mind. It may be different from what you're used to, but that's part of what makes the experience so good. It's flavorful, communal, and such a unique dining option compared to what you typically find around Orlando. Definitely a 5/5 for me. I'd absolutely return, especially because the menu has plenty of other dishes I'd like to try!

I ordered the veggie combo for lunch, and it was soooooo good and beautifully prepared. The handwashing area was a nice touch. I've been to other Ethiopian restaurants and they didn't have that.

The food (Indian African fusion) was really good too, I tried the house salad with shrimp and the bread starter is amazing as well (so many interesting and yummy dips).

It's…read moreunfortunate that you don't get to really see the animals unless you're right next to the window but that's alright. We got the bread service with vegan naan and loved it. The vegan naan was extremely oily and super dense- you could throw it like a frisbee. But it tasted really good so I can forgive the texture. For the entrée I had the cauliflower harra. It tasted alright but it was a little overpriced ($24) for what is essentially a roasted head of cauliflower on top of a plate of sauce with kidney beans thrown on top. It also needed salt. I still enjoyed it and the presentation was very pretty. You're really paying for this restaurant because you're at Animal Kingdom Lodge and you can walk outside after a meal and see a giraffe. I wouldn't write home about the main dishes since the bread service really was the star of the show. Would come back!

I'm a pretty adventurous eater, but I was even still a little nervous. I should've known better, it's Disney, they're gonna make sure that things are approachable for a large variety of people and it absolutely was! There were so many dishes that I enjoyed and I got to try new things that were exotic, but not too exotic. They did have some stuff that could be for a little bit more adventurous types, but I had enough things that were fun and different that I felt like I was taking advantage of the African cuisine and not missing out on that opportunity. It is a buffet, it comes with juice, tea, or maybe lemonade? I can't remember exactly, but you can get their POG juice if you want. It was a very large glass of juice, I will say that, more than I could drink! I'm glad that we finally went because I've heard about it for years and I've just never really been interested or willing to go, but this opportunity showed me that it is a wonderful spot.

This review focuses on breakfast at Boma. Since it's an all-you-can-eat buffet, come hungry…read more Boma can be a little difficult to find because it's located in Jambo House. If you're staying near Kidani Village, the shuttle is usually quicker than walking, especially if you're close to your reservation time. The food was excellent, with a wide variety of African-inspired dishes, an omelet station, ham-carving station, make-your-own yogurt section, desserts, Mickey waffles, and traditional breakfast items. I especially enjoyed sitting near the open kitchen, where we could watch the staff prepare the food. The atmosphere was comfortable--not too bright and not too dark--and the service was excellent. Our coffee cups were never empty. We waited about five minutes after checking in for our early reservation, but by the time we left, the restaurant was packed and several parties were waiting. There are no animal views from Boma, so consider another restaurant at the resort if that's important to you. However, the food quality is excellent, and the value is fair for an all-you-can-eat buffet. Come hungry and enjoy yourself.

This opened Pandora's box of delicious gluten free options that lay inside. The following day we went for the mini breakfast burrito (not GF) and egg and cheese everything bagel (GF and SO GOOD). We also got two iced lattes: Mojo Jojo and Tantric Maya. Both with plant-based milks. I loved the Tantric, but honestly they were both great, who am I to choose a favorite? Prices are reasonable, which is a wonderful contribution to the community. I will come back every single time I am in town (and multiple times at that).

The vibes were laidback, it gives dive bar/chilling in a friends basement in the 90s vibe lol I ordered the Patty Melt Impossible Burger (V) $13.99, it comes with potato salad and the Vegan Baby Breakfast Burrito $4.20, it comes with salsa. The salsa and potato salad were delicious! When they say baby burrito, they do mean it lol It was the size of my hand, I do feel like it's perfect for a snack and/or a child. They could use more salt and I wish you had the option to change the bread type. I'm not a huge fan of rye bread but it's not the end of the world. Other than that, super yummy! I definitely wanna come back and try more, all those vegan pastries looked amazing. Hopefully they'll add more vegan options and fries/hash :)

After a certain point in our Disney trip, we were itching for anything other than burgers/steak/chicken tenders/pasta, so Jiko definitely scratched that desire to have a cuisine that was unique and full of flavor. We opted to try a bunch of dishes off the menu and share amongst the table, which is the way to do things if there are multiple dishes on the menu that you can't decide between. Our server was informative and provided great suggestions to what popular items are, along with ample warnings to certain foods in case we weren't aware of certain flavor combinations. We also learned that the head chef is a sommelier, leading to the different wine pairings on each dish, and some of the backstories to a few menu items. The flavors here are bold, but extremely delicious. This isn't going to be a restaurant for you if you don't have any adventurous eaters in your group, but this was an amazing contrast to the American food you can find throughout Disney property. One member of our group did say that with the flavors being so strong, they are also all different and made her feel confused when eating -- so this is something to consider if doing something like our group with sharing all the different menu items. I would definitely return to Jiko, and I'm still dreaming of that giraffe bread!

What a treat on Disney property! This quickly became one of my favorite signature dining options…read more The resort is beautiful, the dining room had windows with a view, and the service was amazing! We had an experienced server who was a delight. The giraffe bread was warm and easy to eat a lot of, and the appetizers were great too!

The filet entree was one of my favorites on property, and the hype for the Mac and cheese is real! The short rib was well loved also. Dreaming about this meal and will be for awhile!

This was a nice little break from walking around the park & ended up being the last ride we went on, before leaving. The wait queue for this ride was definitely the LONGEST of all the rides we went on, guessing mainly for the nostalgia? (It was ~1 hr long wait vs the 20-30 min wait we experienced for all the other rides) The skipper we had really did make up for the atrocious wait time lol. I was reading up on this ride while in line & many people were saying your experience really depends on which skipper you get. Luckily, ours was pretty hilarious haha. I highly recommend trying to get on the boat & sitting close to the skipper, it's worth it!

The green curry shrimp was a clear standout. They also had lots of chicken tenders and mac and cheese for the less adventurous kids. On top of that, the character interactions made this experience even better. It was easily the best part of our toddler's entire trip. I commend the characters because our toddler got so much facetime and every other kid there did too. This restaurant is a must-try if you're at Animal Kingdom! It's worth every penny.

It was definitely a nice experience…read moreseeing characters so much and being able to take pictures, etc. The characters were amazing and it was the end of anything great at this restaurant. It is pretty large and spacious which is good but it felt kind of empty even though it was Saturday evening. Service was friendly and attentive. Food was below average. Honestly, it reminded me of some college cafeteria food. Nothing was tasting great. Salad was kind of old and low quality. Watermelon salad was soggy and old. Restaurant itself was kind of run down. Bathrooms were dirty. For the amount of money they charge, it has to be pristine. We have a 3 year old and he didn't like anything there and we still had to pay $45 for his plate even though he just ate a few grapes. It's weird to charge so much money for a small child. Definitely overpriced.
