Boma takes Western-style ingredients and prepares them with an African twist. The dozen or so walk-up serving stations have such entrées as spit-roasted pork, spiced roast chicken, pepper steak, and banana leaf-wrapped sea bass or salmon. Don't pass up the soups, as the hearty chicken corn porridge is excellent. The zebra bones dessert is chocolate mousse covered with white chocolate and striped with dark chocolate. All meals are prix fixe ($26 for adults, $12 for children ages 3 to 11). The South African wine list is outstanding. Priority seating reservations are essential if you're not a guest at the hotel.
