Waakye
Crystal A.

I just want to say I grew up eating at Rahama in virginia as a child. The last Sunday of each month after church My father would take us there. After 10 years and moving back from North Carolina I finally tracked a location down near my house. I really excited because i remember the atmosphere being so friendly and welcoming. Despite all the locations being cluttered i knew the food is always great. The lady at the register was not friendly- very short with me. When I called earlier a guy was speaking to me and while talking to the customers in-front of him. Why not place me on hold? That's okay but the FOOD ... YALL Bussing bussing I got Waakye. I am obolo (I think spelt that correctly) THE portion was PLENTYFUL. Food was immaculate. It was sooooo good. Omg 10/10 recommend PLEASE DONT THINK ABOUT IT! Just Go!!

I didn't order for donut on this receipt that was half cut off and given to me.

I should have given more score until I saw the receipt of something I did not order for donuts.

Regular Fried Chicken, Jollof Rice with Salad
Jennifer J.

I've had food from the other two Rahama locations in VA and this location in MD is just as good. Ordered the usual favorite, jollof rice with fried chicken. The rice portion is huge, enough for two people and tasty. The fried chicken was good, but could've used a little more seasoning, but that was easily fixed with the shito sauce. My husband enjoyed their beef (with jollof). Their jollof rice is sooo good, will definitely order from them again in the future.

I ordered the khebab, and I just was not a fan. Service was very slow despite calling in my order ahead of time.

UberEats review…read more Service: given the distance of the restaurant, the order took a bit long but it was packaged well so nothing spilled and the food was still still fresh and warm. Dish: I ordered the spice wings with a side of jollof rice and spinach Efo-Riro. OMG! So let's start with the wings, the flavor on these wings were the right balance between rich spices and touch of sweetness. There was a hint of honey lingering on my tongue after it was greeted by a strong spicy flavor. Adding to this, the wings were fried to perfection with crispy skin resting on the top and smooth white meat down to the bone. AMAZING! The jollof rice was stellar! And while I do not know much about the perfect preparation for this dish to review if this is the best, I've had a few from various West African countries and can say that this one had that grainy texture with just the right spices mixed in. The spinach efo-riro was SO good. I honestly could have had a plate of this by itself and my taste buds would still be pleased. Overall, this place is very generous with their serving sizes. Well portioned, beautifully prepared, seasoned to perfection, and a sure trip down culture lane! I enjoyed it so much.

I probably wouldn't go back. Customer service was good. when I called the woman that answered was very nice and attentive to my questions .

This is a very humble establishment that runs on African time but serves really authentic cuisine. Go here solely for the food. Better if you can do a take out order. I had grilled lamb with spinach, jollof rice and sweet plantains. Just amazing. I also did a take out order of Ndolle (goat with some bitter leaf gravy). Loved it. There are too many issues with the restaurant. Outdated ambience, super super slow service, difficulty communicating with the staff which resulted in some extra side dishes I ended up paying for, their website doesn't work, the prices they charged were a bit more than what was on the menu (basically outdated menus) and the list simply goes on. Inspite of all these issues, I would still go there because none of those issues seemed intentional. I didn't see foul play. The manager/owner Patrick and the server/cashier Agbenfa both seemed naive and humble. They tried to make sure I enjoyed the food. I also feel I may have gotten lucky because the food that was served to me was hot. (Not cold or room temp like some of the others mentioned) I went on a Friday night. I would have to try a few more times before judging if the food is consistent. But the two entrees and the three sides I tried were all phenomenal. It also helps if you know what you are getting but I like to try new things especially when I am going to authentic places and I don't mind taking small risks. Oh the portions were huge. When it took 30 mins for the lady to come take my order, I was all set to leave the place and was prepared for a 1star experience as I started reading the reviews. But I'm glad my patience served me well. I wasn't in a rush. It was a lazy Friday evening. Lazy enough to stick around long enough to try their food.
