Sanaa a wonderful gem for breakfast at the Disney Animal Kingdom Lodge. A host/hostess greets you, gives you a menu and you place your order at the bar and then pick your seat in the restaurant. We sat near the window for the best viewing of the animals. Opens at 7:30 closes at 11 plenty of time to grab a breakfast hash or French toast with bananas brûlée, a latte and free coffee refills at the coffee bar all while you view giraffes and water beasts out the window. The prices are reasonable around $12-$15 per person for breakfast. Instead of characters, you have real animals rather than characters to greet you : It was so peaceful, one of the best breakfasts I’ve had in a long time at Disney...
I found Sanaa on one of the travel blogs while planning our most recent Disney trip and thought my kids would love it. Everything about the experience was so great. We requested a table by the window and were promptly sat right next to a window facing a couple giraffes and a few other animals. I tried the bread service and the butter chicken. The kids meals were fantastic and the Timone grubs were such a fun and yummy way for the kids to end our vacation. I wish I remembered our server’s name but she said she had worked there for 3years and was beyond helpful and knowledgeable. She patiently described some of the bread dips and offered excellent menu options.
Dining at Sanaa in Animal Kingdom was a standout experience! The restaurant offers a unique cultural journey, blending African and Indian flavors in a setting that truly feels like a safari. I particularly enjoyed the lamb dish, which was perfectly seasoned and tender. The banana dessert was a delightful finish to the meal, with its flavors beautifully balanced. My friend had the curry and was equally impressed, finding it flavorful and satisfying. The service was exceptional—friendly and attentive, making our visit even more enjoyable. Sanaa delivers a memorable dining experience that combines great food, ambiance, and top-notch service.
Food service atmosphere just simply Excellent! Started with the bread service delicious. I had the Pork Vindaloo with sukuma wiki, the wife and daughter both also had their own Potjie Inspired, another daughter the Zanzibari vegetable curry with shrimp. Plus a few desserts. The server Don really made the meal extra pleasant, we had never ate at a restaurant like this or these dishes and it was like he was a walking encyclopedia from everything on the bread service to the meals described everything in detail and with enthusiasm.

I wasn’t expecting the quality of food I received here. I’m always a little skeptical when it comes to trying new and different foods but the food here was amazing. I highly recommend the flat bread with the dipping sauces. It’s absolutely my favorite dish. Each sauce is a different experience and will transport you across the world.
Absolutely amazing breakfast! I got the Boere breakfast and the sausage was so uniquely spiced and the African fries were little squares and delicious. Best breakfast in disney by far. Breakfast for two in gorgeous restaurant with caffe latte only $33. Awesome!
Wow! We have grown up coming to Disney and this has been the best service, food and atmosphere ever! Our server Melanie was AMAZING! She had great energy and was super nice. Best restaurant on property!
