Sanaa

Delicious! It's described as African food with Indian influence, but that influence is HEAVY, so it felt more like Indian food with an African slant. But either way, it was still wonderful! Highly recommend the bread service - five different kinds of naan with nine different sauces make for some great flavor combinations! The Samaki Wa Kupaka (fish dish) was unbelievable!

Sanaa is at the lower level of kidani village in disneys animal kingdom lodge. It is an African inspired upper level dining restaurant that is themed as if it were outside in an African village marketplace. The atmosphere is like none other as there is a window wall that looks out on the Savanah where exotic animals graze and mingle. Giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, and many exotic birds can be viewed while enjoying your meal from inside. The service is always as good as it gets at any level. The bread service is something that should just be a standard as it is something no one should miss out on. It is naan cooked in a tandoori oven the authentic way. They serve five different types of naan along with 12 different sauces from blazing hot to smooth and cool. That are all delicious! The fish in the picture was served on top of a yucca fried pancake and it was literally the best piece of fish I have ever eaten! The braised beef is perfectly seasoned and is a true reflection of African cuisine. It was so tasty. The butter chicken is a dish that you can never go wrong ordering as well. The New York strip steak is a perfect cut of meat and cooked just as you like it every time. Sanaa goes down on my list as one of my all time favorite places to dine anywhere in the world! Go there! Oh by the way, if you can’t get a reservation, show up just before 5:00 and go to the bar. There are a few tables in there and if you’re early enough, you can get one. They serve the full dinner menu starting at 5:00.

Sanaa is amazing! As usual, Disney has great allergy options and their GF bread service was amazing!! Absolutely do not skip the bread service. 2 Adults split bread service & and a Potjie plate with leftovers to take home. The views at the window we're so great, especially at sunset. The only thing we did not like was our server Amy.

My wife and I ate at Sanaa last night. She has a severe gluten allergy, while I can eat all the gluten. We ordered the indian-style bread service, which they allowed us to get partially gluten free. Typically the bread service comes with 5 different Naan breads, but they told us we could sub out 1 type of regular Naan for every gluten free Naan that we got. My wife just got 1, so I was able to try all breads except for the garlic-ginger Naan. I will say although you should try the bread service, I don't think the quality and value was worth $22. The bread was a lot crisper than traditional Naan I've had, which took away from the quality, imo. The sauces were OK. Nothing special, but solid. What stole the show for me was the NY Strip Steak I ordered. It was out of this world. Perfectly cooked to medium rare and SO flavorful. It came with the mashed peas, potatoes and corn, which is awesome and some carrots. My wife had the butter chicken, lentils and rice - again for $32, I'm not sure the value is there for that dish, when my strip steak was $36, but my wife enjoyed it. They prepared it totally gluten free and even made sure my dish was gluten free so she could try some, which was very nice! This restaurant is Celiac Friendly, for those that were curious.

I came here 5yrs ago and this came came back just for their bread service. They have an option on the menu for 5 Naans and 9 different dips/chutney and it is MUST try! The Naans are plane, giner, spicy, and two paratha. We were a table of 4 and we were hungry, and as a result, we demolished that Naan plate. For food, we got the soup of the day, butter Chicken with Lentil daal, the steak and the shrimp dish. Everything was delicious!

Sanaa is definitely a one in a million type of restaurant. The flavor and quality of the food were some of the best we've ever had. The Naan platter is what Sanaa is known for, and the endless flavor combinations of breads & sauces to go with it are enough to satisfy any palette. Olivia was our server, and her customer service was second to none. She made our experience so much better than we could have expected with her wonderful personality and knowledge of the menu and drinks. Will definitely be making this a go-to for future trips.
