Mama Ghana — Restaurant in Marseille

Yes, I visited this place 2 years ago and forgot to leave a review. But to this date I still remember the horrible experience. We sat on the tables outside waited to be assisted for at least 30mins. There was a bunch of local sketchy people inside. The owner from what it seems, she came to ask for the order after a long wait, and while we were ordering her and asking questions, she was ignoring us and yelling to someone else across the “street”. Everything we asked her to order, she pretty much refused to make it for us cause either she didn’t have it available at the moment or it was going to take too long. Are you kidding me?! Long story short, we ended up leaving, so as a couple sitting next to us too from the same issue of waiting and lack of interest to serve us. This restaurant looks more like a cover up for something else. Worst experience...

Very weird bad experience.. she served us only 1 drink while we ordered two and wanted to order three but she already walked away while we waited a long time. I suspect she overcharged us for the drink. She did not want to answer a question about the menu and said “just order something”. When asked about the vegetarian options she said its all meat! Even the vegetarian stew! Then she just left without taking our order or helping us pay for the drink because there was nothing for vegetarians despite the reviews that say so. We really did not feel welcome, while we were polite and friendly and well versed in the ghanaian kitchen, so maybe she just wants to serve...

First of all, the music here is fantastic. Sets the homely and warm environment for the restaurant. Secondly, met Mama Ghana herself, sweetest woman I have met in the food industry. The service here is impeccable, they are very kind and attentive, making sure the food is to our liking. Lastly and let importantly, the food !! I actually can’t rave about it enough. I had the egusi soup and the light soup and let me tell you, the best food I’ve ever had. The burst of flavor in every bite was actually ridiculous. I really can’t recommend this place enough. Grab all your friends and family, do yourself this immense favor, and go to Mama Ghana....
