Reviews for RAHAMA African Restaurant in Sterling, VA

The dark Brown skinned Ghanaian girl is very cold to African American Woman. I don?t know if it?s jealousy or just pure... ignorance. She has extremely poor customer service with a terrible attitude, and is very petty, and not to mention the rice wasdry . SCENARIO: The girl put my food in a ripped up and unstable Styrofoam container. When I politely ask her to please give mea Tupperware container to replace my food and a more stable container. She stated to me, ? I am not gonna give you acontainer!? She also add, ?You have to pay for it!? Question: Now how petty is that!!? I have some African friends, but whatI?ve noticed is in some African restaurants, they have the Business aspect, but some of them lack great customer skills. Some have extremely ?VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS?. Good Customer service skills and good food go hand in hand. WE ARE ALLGOD?S CHILDREN, AND SADLY WE ARE THE ONLY RACE THAT HASN?T LEARNED THAT WE SHOULD NOT BE PARTIAL TO EACH OTHER. ?APPARENTLY,SHE MISSED THE MEMO REGARDING A CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS GOING TO REMEMBER HOW THEY WERE TREATED AS A PERSON AND/OR AS A CUSTOMER!! I could have sent a lot of people to the restaurant because I work around a lot of people but she?s done a fine job of ruiningthat. I hope she?s proud of herself , because this lady is done!

I am African, grew up eating African food, ordered from many African food establishments and I can say with confidence that this... is one of the absolute worse. Do yourself a service and look elsewhere. Hard at work, forgot my food at home and decide to givethis place another chance and once again almost threw up eating. Not only the woman doing the cooking and tending to the frontdesk is absolutely Rude as hell but she cannot cook! The only reason I'm giving this place 2 stars instead of 1 star is becauseof Abdul. He's the only one with some sense so I want to at least acknowledge that. Read more

Good portions for the price of food! The fish is always cooked well. The chicken while flavorful is sometimes not as crispy as... it could be. My husband who is from Ghana states the goat is not too good, but the jollof and waakye are decent. Just a specialnote here, I?ve noticed that ordering midday vs later yields you with tastier food results. Pictured is the jollof with friedfish, this was good to feed 2 adults. Read more

What an amazing find! Authentic quick Ghanaian food ???????? The owner was awesome! I wish we had this in Florida! My sister and... I had the banku with okra soup, grilled tilapia with banku and fried chicken ???? We highly recommend!!! Read more

Everything was good and while the lady got right to the point when we walked in, she was very nice. Will definitely be going... back there again, you get a lot of food for your money. I got the fufu with goat meat and okra stew. Read more

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 willimprove. 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. Read more

Meal was served in decent time, quicker than I expected. Ordered Fufu and light soup jollof rice and meat Kebab and ginger... drink. It was all a hit. My kids approve of it, and they're selective. Portion was decent and well priced. I'm sure coming back. Read more

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 wasgood. The fried chicken could have been fried a little longer since the pieces were really big (drumsticks). We considereddining 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 togo. I could have instead called ahead and picked up but again the food was ready very quickly. Read more
