Okra African Grill - Omaha

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 items though I'd need to try them. Food is presented cafeteria style where it is pre prepared. They scoop up whatever combination you request (you can choose one of their options or create your own). Dine in is served on disposable plates with a cutlery/drink/napkin station. Soft drinks are self serve, but the lemonades are by the cup. The restaurant itself looks very clean and well maintained. When it came to the lemonade I wasn't sure what to get, but the cashier offered me samples which made the decision simple once I knew what it tastes like. The one issue I had was with the menu. They only have the board up against the wall. If you have eye site problems, you might have issues reading it as the print was a bit small. I did not notice any paper menus near where we ordered. The lemonade is a 5 star The Lamb bowl was a 4 star

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 enjoyed everything we tried! Absolutely recommended!

I visited this restaurant for the first time yesterday, and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. It was my first experience with African cuisine, and I ordered Nina's lamb special bowl, which was absolutely delicious! I will definitely return in the future! The Mango Pineapple lemonade was also quite good!

A fantastic spot to explore new flavors! The dishes are unique without being overly spicy, making them approachable for even the pickiest eaters. I tried the peanut butter chicken, and while the peanut butter flavor was quite subtle, it was still enjoyable. The plantains added a lovely touch of sweetness that I really liked. However, I found the ginger lemonade to have too strong a ginger flavor for my taste, so you might want to consider a different beverage. I also sampled the flan; it’s not my preferred dessert texture, but the taste was delightful. The restaurant was clean, and the staff were friendly. I will definitely return to try more items from their intriguing menu!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal! I ordered a chicken bowl with peanut sauce and plantains, and the fried plantains were definitely my favorite part—they were delicious! My husband had a lamb bowl and remarked that it was the best lamb he has ever tasted. I highly recommend this restaurant!
