ChanceMy grandmother is losing her ability to taste dishes. Whenever she visits she asks me to take her here as the food is spiced to perfection. This is one of her favorite food places in Omaha, due to the flavor of the dishes.
James MobleyFantastic food. Family enjoyed lamb, steak, shrimp bowls, beignets, and delicious fresh juices.. worth the drive

Eric StevensGreat place to get your Ginger Tea.
Jenni Potadle (FireKist)Looking for different fare and having all lunch options in Omaha available, we decided to try Okra African Grill. We both got the egusi soup with fufu, mine with lamb and his with the steak kabobs. The food was distributed behind the glass counter into a bowl from a hot table by a woman in traditional African garb. To us, she wasn't what we'd consider friendly, (I asked if there was goat meat available and was struck down rather curtly) but we were there to try the food, which was absolutely delicious. My husband thought his steak kabobs were slightly tough and wished he'd got the lamb as well, which was melt in your mouth tender. Most of the items were fresh, except for the peppers and onions. They were scraped out as the last remaining bits in the pan in the hot table and I noticed later they had been freshly replenished for the next customers. No big deal, it was overall still very tasty. For a cold day, the hot, savory flavors were very warming and comforting. The fufu was delicious and a different type starch and texture than mashed potatoes. We definitely would go again.

Christopher Scott HaagJuly 26, 2022This is the best place ever! Food was amazing, staff Is friendly! I mean even owner was there to greet and talk about her food! All of it she makes homemade!!!recommends
Su BirdJuly 24, 2022This was the first time we came here. We tried the build-a-bowl. One with lamb, grilled vegetables, garlic potatoes, and fried plantains. The other one was chicken, garlic potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, sweet corn and fried plantains. We got the sauce on the side so we could try the peanut sauce and the tomato sauce. Both were very good. The tomato sauce has a little kick to it, just the right amount. The food was delicious! 👍😍 We will definitely be back. I forgot to take pictures, but the other pictures on these reviews are excellent. We had plenty for leftovers to take home and will enjoy them later. 😊recommends

Ross HaywardMarch 2, 2022The lamb was fall off the bone tender without being dry, the red rice and the house tomato paired with the meat and other sides really well. I need to go back and try more items on this interesting menu!recommends

Jacob Dean Jackson StiverSeptember 20, 2021I enjoyed everything about my meal, but the real standouts were the sweet potatoes, the house specialty peanut butter sauce, the fried plantains, and the ginger lemonade. There also about a dozen other menu options I need to try :)recommends
