Katarina MayAre you a fan of delicious flavor? If yes, this is the place for you! I tried the Ablo, and I don’t think I have ever had such flavorful beef, and the dumplings were an absolute treat. My plus one ordered the Jellof Rice and kindly shared on of the plantains with me (because I love plantains and they’re generally neutral regarding them). We were in agreement that the plantains are amazingly flavorful. And the ginger lemonade was not messing around: when she said “Ginger,” she meant “GINGER”, the real stuff, in human-sized, light-up letters. So much flavor! So good! Okra is a great place for a quick, flavor-packed, healthful, and filling meal. I hope to go back soon; there’s more to try still!
Samantha Rodman WhitenExcellent vegan food!!
Lizz DI'm obsessed with this place! I had to literally drag my husband out of the house to try it (he's super picky and wasn't convinced), but oh boy, was he wrong😮💨 The egusi soup was rich and flavorful, and the fufu was perfectly pounded. My husband was the first one to go back for seconds (and thirds!), and he was literally scraping the bottom of the bowl. I'm talking about the same guy who said he wouldn't like it... let's just say he's a convert now! Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic African cuisine - even if you're skeptical, trust me, it's worth a try! 5 stars!"

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
Jeff AlbaJune 19, 2022Had 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!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
