Got their quiche picked up on my way home, taste wise these are good but a bit pricy.

Still unsure how I feel about the food overall and iv felt like this since I was a weee little boy to date my experience hasn't improved. I dont get the hype as compared to how much I love the breakfast, sandwiches, breads and pastries at TK. Atmosphere, ambiance, staff all really good no doubt, but I like going to restaurants for delicious food and its getting harder to find that in Karachi nowadays... the dessert lava cake was amazing and a huge fan of their eggs Benedict (it's my display images) which at one point you could order while seated at TK apart from that meh..

OKRA Resturant! Entqiue, Classic and Simply Perfect for fine dine-in. Experience of lunch here goes perfect. You must need to have booking here, velet parking is only available.

After so many eatries open up in karachi, I feel that OKRA is by far the best for dining restaurant in karachi. The Grilled Camembert was done to perfection and the chicken grilled steak were amazing. Highly recommended 💯

One of the best restaurants in Pakistan. The vibe is really nice with good decor and a rustic theme. The food is excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed all the items we ordered. Quality service here is guaranteed with very friendly and attentive staff. Recommend coming here, if you can get a reservation!

One of my favorite joints to visit when I’m in Karachi… Okra Test Kitchen. If you don’t then you are missing out on something amazing.

Yeah you have to take reservation a month before, but it's worth it. One of the best steaks in town. This review is based on our two visits in the last two months. Beef steak - highly recommended Ravioli risotto - highly recommended Prawn with burger and ginger - highly recommended Beef shake shack burger - okayish Angel hair pasta - okayish Grilled chicken - okayish Calamari - not recommended Desserts Mango Charlotte - highly recommended Mango soufle - not recommended Desserts change on daily basis. You can ask for the menu

Exceptional food, ambiance, and service. Really loved the food. Chocolate Souffle was to die for.

I’ve been doing food photography for the past several months and I have covered quite a few restaurants in Karachi. I’ve been inside kitchens, experienced behind the scenes of quite a few and made a lot of friends. I recently got the opportunity to cover one of the oldest and well known restaurants of Karachi and I was amazed to see how the owner, Ayaz Saab runs his place. Shooting Okra is truly an experience worth sharing with all of you which is why I’m giving my review about his restaurant, and no doubt it’s the best in Karachi. From the inside of the kitchen, to the staff, the ambiance and the food is a 10/10. I have never seen a kitchen so clean, the food being prepared so professionally till it’s served on the table by waiters wearing crisp white shirts. The reason to write this review is to appreciate their efforts of maintaining the food and restaurant quality since 18 to 20 years and I would definitely ask all of you to visit and experience this for yourself!

The food quality was better and staff behavior was so cool.. Delicious food 🍲 😋 😋 Mashallah 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The bestest dining experience one can have in K town

Visited on 23-01-22 Ordered: 1. Spaghetti with Prawns, Cherry Tomatoes, Capers, Olives, Oregano & Chilli 2. Beef Burger with Shake Shack Style Sauce 3. Pan Fried Steak in Butter & Green Chilli 4. Chocolate Gateau with vanilla ice cream All of the food was outclass. With amazing service.

Very amazing experience, the staff was very polite and disciplined. I highly recommend this place for food And dine out. The restaurant is designed keeping in mind the old style buildings in karachi city

Okra comes in at number 3 with a rating of 4.5 and 174 opinions. The good commended Okra as an 'absolute necessity strives for all'. Okra offers Mediterranean food also. Most food lovers have appraised the spots as superb including a foodie who thinks Okra is "a potential Michelin diner". Situated on tenth Commercial Lane, Zamzama.

Okra – Consistently the best fine dining restaurant in Karachi. The menu comes without a price; but so is the food there, priceless. Beef, chicken, seafood – all cooked to perfection with balanced flavor in almost every dish I’ve tried so far. The only place which is up there to compete with top international restaurants. The place is a quaint little eatery with pleasing pastel interior. Since the space is small, it is better that you make a reservation well in advance. Per head cost comes around PKR 4-5k at least. Pictured: Crab Linguine and Tiger Prawns (both highly recommended)

Probably one of the best Best place in Pakistan!! I think the only place where you can get the total European feel in terms of food and service!! Loved it! I hope they can come to lahore!! It's a must Must visit!! Do try it atleast once and I can assure you that you will not regret it!! 💯💯💯💯💯💯👏👏👏

The food had a stretched delay in being served, but other than that, great food, great service, and great ambiance! Loved it and will definitely go again!!

Neat & clean retaurant... Having ideal location. The style of building was antique.. Old trendy things used for example doors windows & electric buttons etc. The seating arrangement was also good.. The behaviour of staff was also fine... Food quality good.. I recommend one must visit this...

Went for a dinner while I was in Karachi. Had heard so much about it and it didn’t disappoint. The starters were all very good but the award goes to the feta cheese with grapes. Jumbo Prawns, Salmon were both very good. Staff was very helpful - took countless photos for us - and service was exceptional. Loved the sign outside so posting a pic of that. Enough people have posted pics of the good but this board was priceless. I wish every restaurant would do this.

Okra is the finest restaurant in karachi. The food is out of the world and service is amazing as well. Vincent is the person who can make you feel really special and at home. Okra is a must

Having dined at Michelin starred restaurants many times, I know what fine dining is and although the food at Okra is good, it is nothing exceptional. I visited twice - having heard lots about it, and tried various dishes from the A la carte menu (Buffalo mozzarella, Seared Haloumi with pear, spicy crab linguine and Creme brulee) and also the special menu (Crab & Lobster pate on toast, SF Salad, Scottish smoked salmon, Fresh figs with Bresaola, homemade ricotta & balsamic, and Pumpkin pie), all based upon the waiters/managements recommendations as to their most popular dishes. The ingredients were very fresh and the food tasted fine but lacked that wow factor that would make me want to order any dish a second time. The Mozzarella dish in particular was so simple that it felt like something I could easily put together within 2 minutes at home, there was very little to it. There was also a lack of creativity, for example both starters from the A la carte menu had Pomegranate kernels sprinkled over them which brought nothing to the dishes in terms of taste nor texture. Considering the price - which by Pakistani standards is very high, I was expecting a lot more. The highlight was probably the crab linguine, followed by the desserts which were both quite good, but even these were not sufficiently good enough to warrant a return anytime soon. Add to that the 'carnival' like atmosphere on an evening, with excessively loud tables of diners that resembled a British pub on a Saturday night, any allusions of fine dining were soon put to rest as I struggled to even hear myself think. To surmise: good but not great food, difficult to locate from the outside and very much overpriced for what it is.

Smashing hit place. Best fine dining place in karachi. Their steaks and rigatoni pasta with mushroom and garlic are highly recommended.

Big thumbs up. Delicious and Juicy Prime Rare Beef steak. Divine and Toothsome Grilled Calamari. Finger licking good Shanks. Food never tasted so good, Uff! Get ready for a taste of heaven. Superb. Unbeatable and Highly Recommend! Yummy and Thank you for a lovely dinner.

If I was to give a Michelin rating … then I would give it to this remarkable Restaurant run by AYAZ and his brilliant team … thank you AYAZ fir making Pakistan proud and the whole country should Honor you … thank you a fantastic Lunch.. From the service to the detailed setup and one dish better then the last one.. You are our pride and joy. 🌟🌟🌟 We ordered prawn and avocado salad CEASER salad, carpaccio spaghetti with prawns, steak, bruschetta with morelle mushroom sauce ... The bread pudding just to enjoy the last morsel of desert.......

The best in contemporary fine dining. The place has limited seating but it's chic design looks much spaceous than it is. The service is excellent. The food is good. And the desserts are divine. A must visit for ultmiate in fine dining.

Perfect toast in their sandwiches Each sandwich had a unique taste and was exceptional

Okra. Always expect an exceptional service here. But it was a once a year affair for me, mostly because my taste buds are 90% desi. I'm always tempted to sprinkle chaat masala on Mediterranean cuisine wherever I've had it 😂. Except on the fillet steak with creamy garlic prawns pictured here, it bursted with flavors. Other items: lamb shank with saffron risotto, and chili prawns and avocado salad, washed down with some sparkling water and followed by one of the most authentic tiramisu for dessert. Good meal 😊

Liked the ambiance, atmosphere and the service but as the hype is out there for the extraordinary food quality and taste as it is not at that level. I would recommend to go again but keep in mind it’s a formal dining and expensive

Recommended.

Always a treat. The ambiance, the service and the food... All excellent as always.

I have always been a huge fan of okra.the food never disappoints, I tried the ribs today and absolutely loved them. They were cooked to perfection and tasted amazing.the staff was very professional, friendly and helpful. I will definitely be back. Highly recommend this place.

Excellent food, probably the best restaurant in Pakistan. Lots of off the menu items as well. If you have a continental favourite, do ask! One of the few places which serves excellent Paella in Pakistan.

Excellent food quality & very nice staff. Need to enforce social distancing norms.

Possibly the best Halloween Dinner despite the Covid lockdown! OKRA is clearly the leader in fine dining in Karachi - Pakistan.

Discreet menu , Ambiance and oersonal service.

Basque Cheesecake 👌🏻

Okra exceeded my expectations with its fusion cuisine. The combination of Mediterranean and Asian flavors was a delightful surprise for my taste buds. The dishes were beautifully presented and tasted as good as they looked. The restaurant had a modern and trendy atmosphere, making it a great place for a special occasion or a casual meal with friends. I will definitely be returning to Okra for more culinary adventures.

A must try place Pan steak hits so differently in mouth that I can confidently say one of the best steak in town. There everything is amazing. BTW it looks expensive but it is not and they also have bank discounts too Enjoy

"Had an absolutely fantastic time at Okra Restaurant! The atmosphere is both cozy and elegant, providing a great backdrop for a wonderful meal. The chef's expertise shines through in every dish, and the waitstaff was attentive without being intrusive. beef steak is highly recommended this place is a must-try. Can't wait to return and try more dishes!"

Experience of Okra restaurant was amazing. Good taste I have tried a lot of time because of beautiful ambiance and comfortable place. I have tried steak and peppers at brunch really good taste Highly recommend

Outstanding experience food was delicious ambiance and services also very good really enjoyed highly recommended to everyone 💯

The ambiance and food was great. Wait was very long too long. The drinks (lemon ice tea and mint lemonade) were terrible. Even the starter prawns were a little chewy; seemed like a little too cooked. Overall experience was not at all what Okra is made out to be. Even the seating was too cramped and table too small. For the cost the experience was 3 out of 5.

Incredibly delicious food with sophisticated presentation and flavors. Probably the best restaurant in Karachi. Amazing service. Reservations are a must. Truly world-class!

Hands down one of the best places to dine in Karachi. From the ambiance to the menu to the food everything is on point. Everything tasted great, we tried the chilli prawns with avocado, lamb shank and shack style burger. The panna cotta has been the best dessert of my life, definitely a must have.

Incredible restaurant offering fantastic European foods with modern touches. Meals begin with the most fantastic crafted breads, with fresh butter, chili and olives oils, balsamic vinegar and roasted garlic. It was tough not to fill up on just the bread as it alone was a cut above the rest. I wanted to take a loaf home. Starters were incredible. We ordered numerous dishes and really no matter what you go with, you'll be hard pressed not to enjoy the food because it is really well prepared. I had the salmon pouches, the goat cheese and fresh fig salad, the buffalo mozzarella, the smoked mackerel, the crab salad and the portobello mushrooms. I really recommend all of them but the mushrooms and the smoked mackerel are a must try. The mains were delicious and I must recommend the lobster (although the portion was small and I would have been happier to pay more for a larger size), the fillet with the sauce (medium rare was perfection and the umami and flavor of the sauce was a great addition), and the special saffron, prawn and truffle risotto with zucchini. Finally desert consisted of many dishes from the fantastic creme brulee (widely a favorite), the chocolate gatteux, the flourless chocolate cake, the chocolate lava cake and the orange sorbet. We also had the tiramisu and it was my personal favorite due to how unique but flavorful it was. I'm not a big fan of ultra sweet deserts and this was perfect! We finished the meal with some varied teas and it rounded things out wonderfully. We had 3 vegans in our party and the chefs varied many dishes to suit the dietary restriction while maintaining the flavor of each. Everything was done to a very high level as one would expect from such a high end fine dining restaurant. They really did meet and exceed expectations. Overall, the best culinary experience you can have in Karachi in my opinion. I could see this restaurant doing well in any major international city, from New York to London, as it really is fantastic and stands out.

Tried the test kitchen of okra and instantly fell in love with it. Kitchen was live and everything was made fresh to perfection. The aroma was quite tempting and the menu was differenr as compared to other place so that was a plus point for me.

Great ambience though you can get similar quality food at a bit less price. The bread was amazing and they knew what medium rare is. Would recommend it for special occasions and call up beforehand if you have children in your party.

Gorgeous food and great service. Value for money.

One of the very few places in Karachi that deserve complete 5 stars. Excellent staff. Quality food meets and exceeds all expectations.

Small yet tasty

Excellent

Amazing

Had another great meal at Okra. Never disappointed with the food or the excellent service provided by owner Ayaz and the Amazing Maitre'De, Vincent.

Love it

Great cousines and excellent food. However there is a price for this experience.

Slow service, rude phone attendants and over priced. The ambience is decent but the seating is extremely cramped. Uncomfortable and noisy. Places like Flo, D'Alma, etc offer similar quality at lower or equal rates with better service, higher quality of food and better seating/ambience.

Ambience 3 food 5

As always, quality above all, excellent succulent steaks and whole range of exquisite dishes...!

Overly priced normal menu

It's a fantastic restaurant, will not find better food anywhere else.

Out of this world dining experience

Amazing taste

Good

Perfect cusion with delcious food

Incredible food - one of the best meals I’ve ever had! Terrific service and quality

Good food always

Great

Excellent Food and Fantastic Service...

Divine dining! Cozy interior, excellent service.

One of my favourite places to go. Service is exceptional and detail to attention is always consistent. The only down side is getting a reservation and cramped seating space.

It's a place where you can take your foreigner friends, but it doesn't have the taste of the local food

Excellent service with quality food

Great place to have good food and company

Delicious

While I loved my grilled chicken croissant here, I didnt get why ppl would go to such an expensive place multiple times a month! Their hot chocolate was amazing but there are places like butlers and coco9 in Karachi that do similar versions so nobody's missing out on anything. I'd definitely go back for the Iranian cottage cheese because that tasted out of this world! Also love their desserts that can be picked up on the go. All that being said, okra is a must-have experience for food lovers but dont go thinking this place would change my views about food and dining out. Keep it chill and casual and enjoy the experience with average expectations.

Love the food and ambiance

Best restraunt in karachi!

Very good and fresh fish cooked in a perfect way.

If there is one restaurant in Pakistan which is worthy of a Michelin star, this is it. Expect to fork Rs 5000/= a head for a decent meal.

Apart from the hustle at the place, loved their fresh menu. Try the ones which includes their baked goods.

The best Steak in Town!! Tried and tested for over 20years.

Very nice steak

Found No thing special.. Normal food at High Price..

As always awesome food

Loved the creme brulee

Two decades old and still going strong. Hats off to owner for his commitment to excellence & persistence. Karachites don’t need any intro to this place. It is for rest of the country & global visitors to enjoy mix of both worlds & more towards classic European cuisine. Seafood is highly recommended with amazing choice of options. 👍👍 Advance reservation is must. Dinners at least two days in advance, lunch can be a day notice.

Okra never disappoints, be it a steak cooked to the perfect temperature, or luscious prawns grilled to retain their sweet succulence and presented in a chilli-infused butter and garlic sauce.

Food & service are excellent

Top quality as always

There's something truly Devine about the food at Okra. It leaves your soul drenched with the wholesome goodness and it lingers with you (4 days in my case). If you haven't had it yet, you're lucky, as you will be able to have it for the first time (and you don't crave for it every day). It'll leave you in awe like the first love of your life.

Top notch food and service. Their lamb shank risotto is a personal favorite

Great food! The space is crammed though. Pristine service and cordial staff. A good experience overall.

Two delicious food .the food was very hygienic.I love the restaurant vibes .

Great desserts

Always a great experience =)

Excellent food 10 outta 10

Delicious food and awesome environment.

Best tiger prawns ever 😋

Okra is loved by everyone who visits it. A little high end but the menu is great. Very savoury, sumptuous, luscious and aromatic food. Cozy and romantic place. Good for adults gathering.

5 star for the quality and presentation of food which was exceptional. Service needs improvement a lot of improvement. The supervisor Mr. Eshaz was courteous enough to listen to the complaint however, they need to work on guest management.

Probably Pakistan's best restaurant for Western Cuisine. Tremendous love, care and attention to detail makes this a world class restaurant. If Michelin gave stars in Pakistan OKRA would be first in line. (Why doesn't Michelin give stars in Pakistan by the way?) In the exceedingly competitive world of Pakistani dining, OKRA shines. A bit cramped, but that's part of the allure of OKRA. Wish you would keep outdoor dining going as well as I prefer that! But great ambience inside as well. Brilliant service, mouth watering food. Shake Shack burger is my favorite.

It has been always a pleasure to have yummy breakfast at Test Kitchen by Okra restaurant. The sight of freshly made sandwiches and bake stuff is really a joy. The choice of bread for sandwiches and seared croissant are amazing. They only need to work on the choice of coffee and its taste and seating capacity.

Love the service and attention to detail, food is always great quality

The food is good. But I will not go there for food though as I can find much cheaper better food elsewhere. You are going to see the hype and the show to your guest that they are important for you. They manager is deliberatly rude which is kind of funny if you are not impacted by it. Chairs are uncomfortable and its a cramped area so forget about long dinners. Overall a good experience for once. My first time there was 2009 and second time in 2022 and I think that was too soon.

Amazing as usual. Sunday brunch is special - great variety of eggs all perfectly done. Relaxed ambiance, great food and super service.

They have the best food service. I ordered a platter and it was delivered well in time. The food was still hot and tasty. Items were rightly placed according to the offered menu. Their staff is well behaved and cooperative. They also let more..

Came right on time and they asked us to wait on the road for 20 mins. Waited 1.5 hours for the main course. Unbelievable service as they came after an hour to tell us one item is unavailable. They could have done that when taking the order. Perhaps just an old time superficial favourite. Very very poor service.

As always, Okra is excellent in all ways. That said, I had ordered medium well steak, and mine came medium. 😔 Also, it seemed that they had just repainted their chairs as my blouse from the back was stained from it. The first time my visit to Okra wasn't A-one.

My recent visit to Okra was a bit of a mixed bag. On the bright side, the main course, especially the steak, was absolutely delicious and left a lasting impression. Unfortunately, the starters didn't quite live up to the same standard; they were rather ordinary. Additionally, our experience was somewhat marred by the slightly aloof demeanor of our waiter. Overall, Okra is a decent restaurant, with truly outstanding main courses, albeit with room for improvement in terms of starters and service. I'd give it a 3/5 rating.

While the atmosphere, ambiance, and staff at the restaurant are undoubtedly commendable, my sentiments toward the food remain uncertain. This indecisiveness has lingered since my childhood, and despite revisiting the establishment to date, my culinary experience hasn't notably improved. Despite the restaurant's acclaim, I find myself questioning the hype, especially when compared to my unequivocal appreciation for the breakfast, sandwiches, breads, and pastries at TK. In a city where delectable dining options are becoming scarce, the dessert lava cake stood out as a delightful exception. Additionally, my admiration for their eggs Benedict, as showcased in my display images, remains unwavering. However, beyond these highlights, the overall culinary offerings seem somewhat lackluster.

One of the best restaurants in karachi. The food is excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed all the items we ordered. Quality service here is guaranteed with very friendly and attentive staff. Recommend coming here, if you can get a reservation!

Delicious and Juicy Prime Rare Beef steak. Divine and Toothsome Grilled Calamari. Finger licking good Shanks. Food never tasted so good, Uff! Get ready for a taste of heaven. Superb. Unbeatable and Highly Recommend! Yummy and Thank you for a lovely dinner.
