Customer Reviews
I just had one of the worst customer service experiences of my life at Rahama African Restaurant. I arrived at 7:00 PM, after a 4-hour trip and a Lyft ride from my hotel. Their website says they close at 8 PM, and I even called earlier to confirm. But when I got there, the older lady working at the restaurant refused to serve me, spoke to me with zero empathy, and even used Ghanaian language to insult me while I waited outside for my driver. I explained politely that I just came from Texas for work and depended on Lyft to get there, but she didn’t care. Instead of showing understanding, she was rude, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. It felt inhumane and inconsiderate. This place is disorganized, dishonest, and lacks basic customer service. You can’t claim to close at 8 PM and s
I’ve ordered on two occasions from them.the first time i got the khebab and meat pie. The meat pie was a bit cold but honestly everything tasted good. i loved the khebab so much that i ordered more that same day. Right when I got home from college for break another time i got fried plantain and beans, khebab again and fried yam with turkey tail(everything was through uber eats) i absolutely loved everything. it reminded me so much of home(Ghana) and the spice was perfect (really spicy but we know ghanaians love spice) I luckily haven’t encountered any issues from them and the food wasn’t spoiled and tasted great. It was even got when served. Overall i really like the food and i hope that it stays the same whenever i order
This place has very poor customer service, I placed an order through their website and was missing a lot of items. 4 drinks and 1 Entree. They ran out of something, so instead of substituting it or giving me partial food, they didn't include it at all. They didn't refund me until I called them twice. I love African and Ghana good but this restaurant is not worth the headache. Also the assorted fruit juice is just Powerade .
I love to support my local businesses, so when they opened I went there a few months back and didn’t like the attitude of the lady there and the food wasn’t good. At that time I thought they’ve opened recently so maybe the quality of everything will improve. So, I went yesterday and I’m sorry to say but the lady’s attitude and the quality of food is worse than my first visit. I’m posting pictures just because I took them while I was waiting for my order. Bottom line I will not be going back again ever. Not recommended at all.
The food was great and prepared very quickly. Good value for Ghanaian food. We ordered Jollof Rice with Fried chicken, Fried Rice w/Fried Chicken, Fufu with Palm But soup and goat meat, and Rice with Palava sauce (spinach fish and beef). Everything was good. The fried chicken could have been fried a little longer since the pieces were really big (drumsticks). We considered dining in but we got the idea that with all of the furniture put away (chairs on the tables) it felt easier to get the food to go. I could have instead called ahead and picked up but again the food was ready very quickly.
