We try someplace new each trip. We tried Sanaa a few weeks ago and loved it. We are coming at Thanksgiving time. Jiko comes highly recommended, but wondering if it is too much the same experience. We are looking for a "different" option.

Disney describes Jiko as serving "the bold flavors of traditional African, Indian and Mediterranean cuisine" while they describe Sanaa as featuring "African cuisine with Indian flavors." They've posted their most current menus on the pages on the Disney site (follow the links above).
BTW, what did you think of Sanaa?

I haven't tried Sanaa yet- but I can tell you Jiko is fabulous and truly a place not to be missed. We discovered it several years ago and love it. Very flavoful is the best way I could describe it. We like:
Taste of Africa Appetizer (various breads/spreads)
Filet with red wine sauce and mac n cheese
the pistachioo creme brulee with chocolate bottom
It's really good. I believe it is pricier than Sanaa but well worth it. And if you enjoy wine, they have a great selection of South African wines.

I've been to Jiko, haven't been to Sanaa. Jiko is a really enjoyable dining experience, good food, unique flavors(though maybe similar flavors to Sanaa), fantastic service, lovely atmosphere. I'm not sure how they compare, but I don't think you'll be disappointed in Jiko if you choose it.

LOVED it Ellen!! It is a new favorite for us. Loved, loved, loved it. We sampled a great deal of the menu between the five of us and loved every bite. Plus the atmosphere and service were top notch, yet relaxed. The bread sampling with dips for a starter was a favorite. Then we mixed and matched our entrees. One was better than the next.
