Reviews for Okra African Grill in Omaha, NE
Pro tip, order Nina's ginger lemonade. I'm leery on ginger and not a fan of lemonade, but id do this drink because it's a great... combination. It also goes very well with the lamb bowl that i ordered. I think generally it would go well with most of the itemsthough I'd need to try them. Food is presented cafeteria style where it is pre prepared. They scoop up whatever combination yourequest (you can choose one of their options or create your own). Dine in is served on disposable plates with acutlery/drink/napkin station. Soft drinks are self serve, but the lemonades are by the cup. The restaurant itself looks veryclean and well maintained. When it came to the lemonade I wasn't sure what to get, but the cashier offered me samples which madethe decision simple once I knew what it tastes like. The one issue I had was with the menu. They only have the board up againstthe wall. If you have eye site problems, you might have issues reading it as the print was a bit small. I did not notice anypaper menus near where we ordered. The lemonade is a 5 star The Lamb bowl was a 4 star Read more
It was a pleasure to stop by and check this place out. Ms. Sodji and I had a pretty indepth conversation about Togo and ancestry... and since i was passing through Omaha she also suggested some parks and lakes nearby. It was good to see her son helping withthe business(He took my order, explained everything thoroughly), and the food was delicious!!!! I created a bowl with Kelloggrice, black-eyed peas, plantains, sweet corn, fried okra and topped with ngwesi stew... The ginger lemonade was just right,strong but not over powering..Definitely a must if your looking for good African food and good vibes!!! Read more
I love this place so much! The food is always fresh and delicious and portioned beautifully. The service has been consistently... fast and friendly! I travel to Omaha several times a year and I always make sure to stop in. I hope they will someday havelocations in other cities so I can enjoy it more often! Read more
When entering the restaurant, you can immediately appreciate how clean it is. Our server (who wore gloves before preparing any... of the dishes) was very knowledgeable about the menu and gave excellent suggestions. The menu is similar to chipotle style inthe sense you can creat your own bowl or choose an option that?s pre-made. The food is then made in front of you (chipotlestyle) and served warm, fresh and, delicious. Regarding options, the menu tailors to most dietary restrictions which is great!The pricing is fairly reasonable for the portion size and quality. I would highly recommend this place and thankful to expandOmaha?s multicultural dinning experience! Read more
Tried this place for the first time yesterday & I loved my selection. This was my first time trying African cuisine. I got... Nina?s lamb special bowl & it was very tasty! I will definitely be back! The Mango, Pineapple lemonade was good too!! Read more
My husband and I both really enjoyed our food! I got a chicken bowl with peanut sauce and plantains. The fried plantains were my... favorite part-delicious! My husband had a lamb bowl and said it was the best lamb he?s ever had. Highly recommend this place! Read more
A great place to try something different! The flavors are different enough to be unique, but not so spicy that picky eaters... would be scared to try. I had the peanut butter chicken and the P.B. flavor was very mild but good. The plantains added a hintof sweet which was very good. The ginger lemonade had too much ginger for my liking, so you might go with another drink. I had ataste of the flan, which is not my favorite dessert texture, but the flavor was good. Restaurant was clean and employees werenice. I will definitely be back to try more things from this unique menu! Read more
The food was amazing! Plenty of choices and the service was fast. You build your own plate or you can choose from some options... already made. They have parking available in front of the restaurant. This was our first time there and we really enjoyedeverything we tried! Absolutely recommended! Read more
