There is a lodge at Disney's Animal Kingdom.

There is a restaurant at the Animal Kingdom Lodge.

Kidani Village is one of the main buildings at the resort. I went to test out the internal bus system at the resort because I was staying in Jambo House.

The shuttle was much faster than the walk.

The main lobby and stairs lead to Kidani village.

One of the more casual options at the resort is the Sanaa table service restaurant.

The upscale Jiko is located at Animal Kingdom Lodge. One of the more casual table service spots is Sanaa.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are available at the restaurant.

Lamb kefta and tandoori chicken are examples of African and Indian inspired dishes on the main menu.

Stunning views of free-roaming animals can be seen in Yemen.

The view of one of the resort's savannas is one of my favorites.

You can see zebras and giraffes with large floor-to-ceiling windows.

I was able to visit the lounge even though it was difficult to get reservations.

Disney World allows guests to make dining reservations up to 60 days in advance, but it's not easy to get to Yemen.

The restaurant has a lounge and a walk-up list for last-minute availability.

Guests can order for pickup through the My Disney Experience app. It is a good option after a long park day.

I decided to eat in the lounge because I wasn't able to get a reservation.

The lounge is very cozy and inspired by the markets of Africa. The stone walls and thatched roof are gorgeous.

Appetizers, including bread, can be ordered at the lounge.

The bread was Indian-style.

The bread service is fantastic.Carly Caramanna for Insider

The bread service includes a choice of five pieces of bread from a list of popular breads.

Along with the bread, there are nine accompaniments: cucumber Raita, roasted-red-pepper hummus, mango chutney, tomato-date jam, Coriander chutney, garlic pickle, red-chile sambal, and spicy jalapeno-lime pickle.

I was taken aback by the size of the dish.

The dips sit atop a wooden board and are plated in ornate fashion.

I liked all the dips, but had a few favorites.

There's an assortment of mild and spicy dips.Carly Caramanna

The spiciest dip is arranged from the least spicy to the most spicy.

I was surprised that I liked all of them. I liked the red-chile sambal and cucumber Raita.

Combining some of the dips made me happy.

The different types of naan were my favorite.

The bread service comes with different kinds of bread.Carly Caramanna

You can mix and match the different types of bread I tried.

The traditional and spiced versions of nan were my favorite. The table was pillowy soft after they arrived.

The onion kulcha and paneer paratha were both good, but I didn't think they were good enough.

The bread service was put with a seasonal soup to make it a complete meal.

The bread service is filling, but I wanted to order something else.Carly Caramanna

I ordered a seasonal soup to round out my meal.

The portion was large enough to be shared.

I enjoyed hanging out at the lodge.

I'll definitely be returning to Sanaa.Carly Caramanna

Even if you don't stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge, you should still visit to experience the place. I could spend a lot of time looking at the detailing.

The price of the bread service is reasonable. The bread was fresh and the dips were high quality.

The bread service in Disney World is my favorite.
