The Animal Kingdom Villas' table service restaurant, Sanaa (pronounced Sa-NAH), is now open! You can book a reservation at 407-WDW-DINE.
The menus (see above for a link) are inspired by the "spice routes" of Africa and India. It includes familiar cultural tastes, including curry accents and tandoori-cooked marinated meats, as well as choices for less adventurous palates. Ethnic breads and salads are also highlighted. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, and prices range between $5 and $30. There is also a full wine menu!
Examples of some of the dishes are below. Be sure to see the image gallery at the bottom of the page for photos.
