I recently visited Rahama African Restaurant in Silver Spring on Cherry Hill Road. My whole family has been eating here for a very long time, and it was my sister who told me about the great food they had. The first time I tried their food, it was delicious and lived up to expectations. The second visit was just as good. However, my experience took a turn for the worse on subsequent visits.
The third plate of food had only a little cassava leaf, a tiny bit of cassava soup, and three very small pieces of meat. The taste was okay but not as good as the first two times. The fourth plate was full of oil, had a little meat, and lacked cassava leaf. It was overly oily, and I even took a picture of it. The fifth plate was salty, had no cassava leaf, was dry, and had four quarter-sized pieces of meat with no flavor and seemed like it didn’t even have any oil.
We eat from this restaurant once a week, buying four to five plates of food at a time. I really appreciate that Rahama is a halal restaurant, as I don’t eat out much and usually cook for myself. I was hoping this would be a place we could enjoy regularly. Initially, it was one of the best for African cuisine, providing good portions for the money. However, it seems to be declining. My family and I have noticed these changes, and if the restaurant doesn’t address these issues, they might lose a lot of business, as the quality now is nowhere near what it used to be.
