Get the fufu! People (both the staff and the other customers) of this restaurant were lovely when I stopped by. Food is amazingly delicious and healthy, with great vegan options if you want them. If I loved in Omaha, I'd eat here regularly.

I’ve been there three times and every time a different bowl. Each has been great, great flavors, great presentation. It’s quickly becoming a regular go-to for lunch. If you go, try one of the specialty lemonades.

Okra African grill has some of the best fufu and lamb you can find. If you are vegetarian there are lots of choices available too. The food is always fresh and delicious! Thank you for providing options for everyone!

Delicious! I had the lamb fufu with Nina's peanut butter sauce and it was out of this world. I'm a picky "fru fru" eater with a fussy stomach, so this is no small deal! The fufu was comforting, the PB sauce was so creamy yet savory and the lamb was tender. I wish I could eat here every day.

This 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. 😊

Had the pork bowl, peanut chicken bowl, beef kabobs and large order of plantains. The food was delicious! We love supporting local family run businesses. Nina and Fabio are the best!

The 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!

I 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 :)
