Was craving Jollof rice and a friend who's raised here told me to go to Mama Gee's. Chef Kobbi immediately made us felt like we went to his home, gave us a sample of jollof rice. Excited to return and try their summer Saturday's night specials

This place is freaking delicious. My husband is Ghanian and he absolutely loves the food here. I haven't been since the renovations but previously it wasn't anything special to look at as it is primarily a takeout restaurant. This place gives a generous amount of food and the service is great as well. This is my top African food spot in the area.

For the few times that I have been here food has always been made very well and taste very good and always a good amount for the price. The service itself is great especially being family owned, the father and son always make you feel welcome. I highly recommend this place, they will not disappoint.

AMAZING!!! 10/10!! I had the Kele Wele & Waakye. This is my first time trying Ghanian food and I'm very impressed. The service was great as well.

As a first-generation Ghanaian American who spent my formative years in that beautiful West African location, finding a good Ghanaian restaurant is paramount everywhere I live -- and even everywhere I visit, whenever possible. Mama Gee's has been my saving grace in Charlotte. Mama Gee's isn't a sit down restaurant. There's a small counter, a register, a fridge or two full of drinks, and a small opening that allows you to watch the cooks throw down Ghanaian jollof -- the best in Africa (sorry, my Nigerian and Senegalese homies). Anyway, the guy at the front is always super friendly. The food is cooked to order and their "red red" is absolutely, freaking fantastic. Same for their yam and tsoofie, their banku and fish and pretty much everything I've tried here. And one thing I love is that they have a lot of local Ghanaian drinks which really adds to the experience. Next up is trying their late night menu. Heck, I may even bargain with them and try to talk the price down just so I can feel even more at home.

The first time I stopped by was on Saturday, 04-01-23 after receiving a few positive reviews about this being the place for good African food. I was disappointed that they weren't available due to roof issues because it meant that I'd have to cook. I returned on Saturday, 09-16-23. I called ahead and ordered banku and okra soup with tripe, donuts, and a side of jollof rice for someone. I can't speak on the rice, but the soup was good and filling. I wasn't a fan of the donuts. I'd definitely return to try something else on the menu.

Great authintic African food. The flavors were amazing and the chicken was very tender. I want to go back and try the fish. Service was great. They were very welcoming when I picked up my food. Small place so not much of an ambiance but the food here is great!!
