This was my first time trying Mama Gees. The young man at the counter was super nice and helpful with deciding what to order. I ordered the Jallof Rice w Chicken. The plate came with plantains and a cup of sauce for the rice. Oh my goodness. It was so good. That chicken....the flavor.....He told rice had a spiciness to it. It did, but not too much. The plantains were good. I love the Ginger Beer. It has some 'kick'. I will definitely be ordering again. (Sorry, forgot to take pics). The second time, I ordered 'Dirty Chicken' w Jallof Rice and Plantains. It was delicious. The spice level was not bad. I tried the Donuts and, of course, the Ginger Beer. I enjoyed everything.
The guy behind the counter was very nice and helpful. Lady cooking the food was definitely throwing down back there. Food came out super fast. Great portions! Okra soup was 🔥. Plantains were on point.
Had 3 different dishes and they were all delicious. Got some heat so be prepared for a flavorful kick
It was my first time there and first time eating Ghanaian food. The guys working the counter were helpful very sweet, and patient. I'm Puerto Rican and eating this food reminded me of some of the foods we eat ( which btw are AFRICAN ROOTS- DUHHH LOL) . I felt a deep connection to those roots eating the food. I came all the way from Indian Land to try the food and I WILL BE BACK AGAIN. ❤️❤️❤️👌👌👌
I’ve never had African food before and wanted to try it. I got the waakye. It was smoky and a little spicy.
I always stop by here whenever I’m in charlotte! The food is very tasty with large portions.
Baby!!! Y'all Betta get down here and get some of this egusi stew over this rice. I just ordered it. I'm in my car eating it RIT NIE. Y'all. This food is good. A lil spicy but it's not over bearing. Very friendly staff. They didn't make me feel stupid when I didn't know what to order nor did I read the menu right. There's a gorgeous lady in the kitchen not sure if she cooked this or not. But baby I'm going back! Very good portions for the price. And this beef is as tender as it wonna be. Smh. All these years I rode past this establishment and never stopped. I'll slap my own face. Go get you some y'all. Trust me
Incredible food. Had never tried Ghanaian food, got the jollof rice and chicken with plantains. Amazing flavors, great portions, and they were super friendly! 10/10
Loved this restaurant, its take out only but the food is absolutely delicious, think I'll be going there for some lunch tomorrow 😋
The owner is a beautiful woman named Gifty. She has an excellent reputation and personality and is so sweet. The portions are hugh, its African food, and if you've never tried it, stop in and ask her to recommend something. Oh please get those plantains, they're so yummy.
Delicious! The plantain was tender and sweet but not too sweet. They were generous with the beans. Will definitely revisit when I'm in Charlotte but this time I'll be prepared because there's NO dine in. On Google it says there's dine in, but that's inaccurate. When you get to the door, there's no dine in and there's clear instructions on how to pre-order your food.
My first time trying African food was here in North Carolina. I got the fufu and okra soup. It was spicy, but delicious! The young lady that was working the counter, needs training on customer service. The guy had to keep coming from the back( which i was told is the owners son) was super sweet and polite. But the girl, I was ready to jump behind the counter and tell her to get out and let me do it. She doesn't greet anyone when they walk in, and she kept rolling her eyes whenever the people in the back was talking to her. Definitely want to try other foods from them, but I will definitely request for someone else to serve me.
