Food is decent. They do have specialty items on the menu like Zebra domes. Never have to wait too long for food but I definitely recommend ordering food within the app rather than waiting in line.

Kid-friendliness: Highchairs are available, and a TV with cartoons is there.
Service was confusing and unorganized. Rice bowls were delish. Breakfast was decent. Good options for kids. Lots of seating.Kid-friendliness: Pizza, chicken tenders, kiddie snacks
Regular breakfast stuff. Nice to walk around to see animals in a distance.

The food is pretty gross. People not super nice. You have to order the espresso drinks at the cashier, which is the only thing you order there. Doesn’t matter though because the Americano is so gross, multiple people were complaining.

The mara is the quick service eatery located on the ground floor at animal kingdom jambo house. A fairly simple menu consisting of burgers, salads and other meat and rice bowls. Food is cooked fresh once ordered and brought to the table. Alternatively ypu can place a mobile.order via the Disney experience app.
If you're staying at AKL, the Mara is such a nice reprieve from the standard American food options across Disney. One can only eat burgers and fries so often before either feeling gross or getting constipated.We ended up getting Mara pretty often and even picked up mobile orders to bring with us to Magic Kingdom. The highlights:- Combination bowl: shrimp and chicken on rice with kale slaw and cucumber tomato salad. So refreshing and just what I needed for a Chipotle-style bowl that was veggie-heavy. The rice always tasted kind of undercooked, but the tender chicken and shrimp made up for it.- Fire roasted tomato and herbed ricotta flatbread: the roasted tomatoes gave this flatbread a very heavy tomato flavor, which I loved as someone who prefers my pizza with extra red sauce and easy on the cheese. - Ancient grain power bowl (breakfast): farro, quinoa, berries, greens, sweet potato, and egg. Don't be deceived by the healthy, boring look - this was a very tasty contrast to the other heavy meals we'd been eating. I don't know how they dressed this thing, but once I took a bite, I couldn't stop from finishing it.- Mickey waffles with berries and bacon: tastes as it sounds. Mickey waffles are fun and the dough they use reminds me of mochi. It's a little gummy and gives the waffle a nice chew.

Great location right next to the pool! Personally I think it's a great spot if you don't want to get a sit down or buffet. A third of the price and you'll be comfortably full and able to walk around in the 100% humidity. Mickey waffles are my go to! $12 combo comes with 3 waffles, 2 sausages (or bacon) and berries and whipped cream. Flatbread was better than expected and chewy but crisp. 10-11:30 pm is flatbreads only, no dinner options, but a chef made fries special for a guest. Never hurts to ask!They sell premade cocktails and bottles of African wine too. Night caps!If you're poolside or staying in the resort, highly recommend!

The same food as sambo and more than 80% off. Do not go to sambo beuffet. Come here and I guarantee you can eat the same amount if not more at less of the price. Just ordered same meal as yesterday for $40 rather than $200 at the buffet. It's literally the same exact food at cafe prices for breakfast!

Great experience here with my family. This quickly turned into our go-to breakfast and snack place while one vacation.
