    Fufu - Chicken
    Sara F.

    Came in for lunch wanting Egusi and Fufu. It was the current special and signs provided that the lamb version was approximately $27. I chose the chicken with spinach sauce and fufu. Parking is easy and it's a fast service/cafeteria set-up where you order at the counter, they make your food, and you pay at the end; if you're looking for quick, this is definitely easy. The chicken and the sauce are full of taste with a light spice. The fufu is like a thick mashed potato and paired well with the sauce. I had a couple of my coworkers try it when I took it back to the office and we all agreed it was great. The only drawback is the pricing is the same for lunch and dinner. It's more common for me to spend over $20 on dinner but not for lunch. I'll definitely go back but due to the price, it'll be more of a special treat.

    Been looking forward to stopping here since we arrived in Omaha and it did NOT disappoint!! Friendly service at the counter, open seating, and the food was hot and delicious! Highly recommended and will be dining the next time we're in town!

    Jellof Rice (Red Rice)
    Justin H.

    Okra African Grill is a great place to eat! I ordered the Jellof red rice with a side of hot sauce. My wife got the peanut butter chicken. They were both delicious and the hot sauce was extra spicy. I also ordered Nina's Hibiscus lemongrass lemonade, it was very tasty. The service was professional and fast. The price reasonable and again the food was delicious. If you are ever in Omaha she k out Okra African Grill!!

    This place is incredible. Its. Genius concept. Basically the chipotle of waaaaaaaaay better food. Everything looked fresh and delish. It was super hard to choose. I had the #2. The red rice and chicken. Omg it's so flavorful and so much food. This could easily be two meals. There is no way I will be eating this all in one sitting. So while the price may seem a tad high for Omaha at $13, I think it's a super good deal considering I will be eating this twice The gentleman working was incredibly kind, and after telling him it was my first time and he went over the menu with me and gave me his recommendations. I absolutely love African food and this really hit the spot for a quick healthy and delicious lunch. I can't wait to come back and try the fufu. If you love ethnic food, give this place a try you won't be disappointed.!

    Fish and tomato sauce
    Lynn W.

    I found Okra African Grill looking on Yelp! My husband wanted to go to Chipotle, but we opted to try a different place in Omaha, so we tried this place. Coincidentally, it had a Chipotle-like concept of choosing your protein, starch, and extras, but I would choose it over Chipotle. Our family likes seafood, so did the "Build a Bowl" and chose shrimp and fish. There was a generous amount of shrimp, and the shrimp were not teeny! I wrestled with getting the Fufu (mashed yam) or rice, and ended up getting the red rice. I'm still curious and would want to try the Fufu next time. Someone chose to get black-eyed peas in place of rice, and was very happy with that. I would recommend getting the tomato salad, which is like a pico, as a side. It's a crunchy and refreshing addition to the bowl. It's personal preference, but we liked the fried plantains. We also liked the spinach (Gboma/Eguisi Desi) sauce best with the shrimp. Imo you have to put some thought into your protein and sauce combinations. Peanut butter sauce seems like it would go great with chicken. It was a pleasure to meet the owner of the establishment. She was very articulate and knowledgable about the food, as well as the surrounding area.

    I'm totally in love with this restaurant. Though sadly I have only been able to dine in once (out on the patio!) and another time for take out... but maybe after writing this I'll go immediately for lunch! It's a fast casual vibe (order and pay at counter) but that's not a bad thing at all. And the food is oh so good! Build a Bowl is my favorite way to go and you really can't mess it up. Just pick some things that sound tasty (plantains!) and fill up with some tasty African food.

    Jellof Rice Special & Ninas Lamb Bowl Special
    Amber N.

    This was the first time my husband and I tried this establishment or African food in general. We absolutely LOVED it! Very clean. Nice and friendly staff. Both meals tasted delicious and we will definitely return to try more off the menu. The plantains were the perfect sweet and I had a side of black eyed peas. They were seasoned to perfection. My jellof rice was absolutely delicious. Everything was delicious I had a clean plate. We ordered the ginger lemonade which she hand made and it was delicious with a boast of ginger flavor. I was given a sample of the hibiscus lemonade which is also handmade and it was a delicious combination of flavors, not too sweet either.

    It's ok. Like buffet style, takes forever. They moved locations. Expensive. Customers don't tip the drivers.

It is not the same as West African style Fu Fu, I don't really know how to describe it...soft and crumbly? It comes with a red sauce and a green sauce, like spinach. I like it with the "chicken steak". They'll bring a squeeze bottle of hot sauce to your table...it's hot! Really nice. And also a bottle of Ranch because that's always good. The space is bright and clean. Sometimes the TV is loud, there is a quieter room there, and of course they will turn down the volume if you ask. They will give you a drink and fruit with your meal. Sometimes I also get the spiced tea - super sweet. I was curious about the Anjera. This is not the same as Ethiopian Injera. The Anjera here is a breakfast food, served with sugar and sesame oil. It was very good and not like anything I had ever eaten before. Give this place a try!

Will always come back to this fresh food spot
