Anyone eaten at Sanaa at AK Village

[RAIDER]

Has anyone eaten at Sanaa at AK Village for dinner and what did you think ?

[PopPhan]

I have eaten there a number of times and have enjoyed every visit. From the good foods to the atmosphere of the restaurant to the wildlife that can be viewed through the full height glass wall looking into the savannah.

I ate there as a solo diner last year at lunch time and loved it! We are going back in Nov. and can hardly wait to enjoy the amazing food again. I'm taking the rest of the group with me this time around. Sadly I was seated in an area with no view at all out the windows. Heck, I couldn't even see the windows. My fault though as I just did a walk up with no ADR.

I really like it. The atmosphere is lovely and the food is delicious and unique.

Sanaa has quickly become one of our favorite places to eat. We really enjoy many of the menu options, but especially love the breads and spreads. The Naan bread is incredible!

Yes, it is...and....Yes, it is. LOL

Lamb, African Sausage and Pork Tenderloin. All in one entree! Delicious!!!!

Well, I'm against the norm it seems. We ate there last November and it was horrible. The atmosphere was great and the CM was over the top but the food was far and above terrible for my taste. We love Boma so I guess I was kind of expecting that "flavor" but it was more Indian with the African flare to it. There were a couple in our party that liked it, but most of us had the food court later that evening. :mickey:

Multiple times. We really enjoy it, but like the PP said, it is more like Indian food....which we love. So, one of our favorites.

It's one of our favorite restaurants, anywhere. The atmosphere is amazing, and the food is awesome. My hubby is Indian, and we eat alot of Indian anyway, but he thought the menu and food were great. It's definitely one of the best places we've ever eaten. Make reservations though. We missed out last year b/c I assumed we could just walk up, as we have in years past. They were completely booked the night we tried to walk up, and told us they weren't able to seat us at all that night. We should've eaten at the bar, but ended up at Mara (which is one of my favorite places anyways as well).

I've always enjoyed Sanaa, for the atmosphere, the service, and food. We've been there quite a few times and have always had delicious meals and a good time there.

[RAIDER]

Thanks for your advice we've booked to go and the Piccys on trip advisor look amazing as well pp Piccys

[DizneyFreak2002]

Only been there once sadly.. I'm usually with picky eaters... The one time I did eat there though I loved it... Looking to get back again...

[Rhetoric2000]

Very much enjoyed our one meal there. A good option as long as you aren't accompanied by the dreaded picky eaters.

[Jen1984]

Definitely try it! I'd recommend booking an earlier ADR so you can see some of the animals and you have to order the bread service (and order all the dips!) the butter chicken was gorgeous too

Enjoy!

We really enjoyed it! DH wasn't wowed by his meal, but still thought it was good. The girls and I really liked what we had. Very cool atmosphere even though we didn't see the animals, it was dark by then. Service was exceptional!

That is a good point to make, though! Depending on the time of year you are going, if seeing the animals is important to you while dining, make sure you have an earlier "daylight" reservation! There's no guarantee you'll get a window seat anyway - but if it's dark out, there's no chance of animal views. THAT being said, if you are dining at Sanaa at night, consider walking out to the main observation area and viewing the animals through the night vision goggles..... sorry, a little off topic there!

[TheVBs]

I agree! We did go out after dinner to look at the animals with the goggles. We also were there early enough that it was light out before dinner and saw the animals then too.

Sanaa is one of my BIG favorites!!! Love the glass walls overlooking the savannah and the food is great! The larger bread service with a ton of dips is totally awesome.
