As an African, I can affirm that this restaurant is doing a great job. Welcoming atmosphere, delicious Ablo my favorite, I like also the jellof rice. I've seen people of any other culture enjoying okra foods and natural juices.

This place always hits! Everything tastes so good. Fresh ingredients, the meat just melts on your mouth. You will not be disappointed!

I'd been wanting to try African cuisine and this place was recommended by friends and family and they did not disappoint! The owner went over how we could order and was friendly and attentive. The food was very flavorful and tasty. I tried the build your own bowl with jollof rice, steak kabobs, sweet potatoes, chickpeas, fried plantains, and the spinach sauce. Loved their natural lemonades. I tried the hibiscus and lemongrass lemonade. I look forward to trying other items on the menu during my next visit.

I visited Omaha for a mini staycation and enjoyed everything—from my nail salon visit, hotel stay, massage, shopping, and brunch spot. Before heading home, I stopped at OKRA for some African food because African food never misses!
When I walked in, the restaurant wasn’t busy, which I thought was perfect because I’d have time to look over the menu. I started asking about popular dishes, but right away the owner had a nasty attitude, as if I was bothering her just for asking questions. I brushed it off, figuring maybe she was having a rough day.
I still went ahead and ordered, even tipped 15%, and asked about special sauces I could add to my meals. That’s when she snapped, telling me, “Just read the menu, I don’t have time for it!”
Unfortunately, the food matched the energy—about a 3/10 at best. Nothing stood out besides the fact that it was hot. If you like tomato sauce with no flavor, this might be the place for you, but for me it was very disappointing.

I had the worst experience at Algra African Grill. The customer service was extremely poor, and the food was not fresh at all—soggy and unappetizing. On top of that, the prices were outrageously high for the quality. It was our first visit, and the staff was not welcoming at all. Overall, it was a disappointing experience.

I've been wanting to try this place since I moved to Omaha, and it did not disappoint! I've never had fufu before and it's so good - I will be definitely be coming back ASAP.
It is a little pricey, but I got the chicken fufu with peanut butter sauce, and it was pretty filling. The chicken was perfectly cooked, and the sauce was delicious.

The food is INCREDIBLE. Nina, the owner/chef is an absolute delight to talk to. What a wonderful experience for any meal! I'm sad I've never been here before today.

Fluffy fufu and tenser meats! Spice levels could be kick up a notch, but it's nice to see Omahans trying new things. It's also a fast casual set up so not much wait time.

The steak was chewy and hard, the owner was rude, and was not impressed.
This is a good place for vegan and gluten free options. The rice was fluffy, the sweet plantains was exactly what I was craving, black eyed peas, tomatoes, and sauce. All very good and enjoyable. The ginger lemonade was refreshing, though too sweet for me. Good size seeving; we were happily full.

The lady was super rude and did not appreciate how she was talking to me. I asked her what kind of soup they have and her response was “what???! Can’t you see?!”
