There's something nostalgic for me about being at Rahama that takes me back to Ghana.Perhaps it's the service that feels like a welcome home from that one aunt or uncle that you just know us going to have something to say or maybe it's the smell of ginger and spices that greet you the moment you approach the door.What is undeniable is this: you wont find Ghanaian food at this quality and taste anywhere else in the DMV. Theres so much range in the food offerings that it would be a disservice to come here and just order jollof. Try something served with soup, try the juices, go for the waakye and i promise you wont be disappointed.

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 bussingI got Waakye. I am obolo (I think spelt that correctly) THE portion was PLENTYFUL. Food was immaculate. It was sooooo good. Omg10/10 recommend PLEASE DONT THINK ABOUT IT! Just Go!!

Imagine great food but equally terrible service. The service is so poor I actually don't think I'll ever order from there again.I ordered large amount of food online for catering and I should have read the other reviews because with every interaction to get the food, not a single person knew what we ordered. To make it worse, they were very dismissive and disinterested in helping.

Disappointing Experience, Time and AgainI've ordered from this restaurant three times online and specified exactly what I wanted, only to receive an entirely different dish each time. Despite clear instructions, they never seem to get it right. Hoping for an improvement, I decided to place my fourth order in person. Unfortunately, even with direct interaction, they still managed to give me the wrong order.This recurring issue is incredibly frustrating. Whether it's an online order or face-to-face, the restaurant consistently fails to honor specific requests. It makes me question the commitment to customer satisfaction and the attention to detail by the staff. If a simple instruction cannot be followed, what does that say about their overall service quality?I hope the management takes these repeated mistakes seriously and implements proper checks to ensure orders are prepared as requested. Until then, I'm left disappointed and hesitant to order again.

Ordered and picked up Red Red . The food was full of uncooked palm oil. And you used too much , it took over the food. I could taste the residual palm oil In my mouth The fish tasted old I became nauseous immediately after eating and vomited all my food. If you continue taking shortcuts you will lose your customers. I am a Ghanaian and I know how Red Red is supposed to look and taste like. The beans was also mushy like baby food with no flavor. Please take your time and cook the food the right way.
