O-Kra in Derby

Visited on a Saturday evening , food was very good and tasty. Had a chickpea puri and also a chicken tikka puri both were really good. Mains of lamb khumbara (lamb was so tender) and the meethi chicken , shared a mushroom rice (get plenty) and a roti / keema naan Really good quality food

Absolutely outstanding every single time 🥘🍛 We have enjoyed both dining in and take-away, the quality is always consistent.

Two colleagues and I visited recently and the service throughout was outstanding. Staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious, generous portions and well priced. We will certainly be returning again soon, thanks to the team for looking after us!

just so good as always ! Derbys no1 and has been for years. continuing great standard of food ! been coming for years, what i also like is that the take away food is just as ggood as eating in.

Food was basic, unimaginative and very salty. Service was reluctant, I even had plates thrown in front of me! I heard good things about the venue, but none of that seemed to happen. I will not be coming back, nor will the people I came with. A shame really.

Booked in for the O-kra early bird menu offer which is such a great deal, drink, starter, main and sides for an excellent price. food is well presented, tasty and an ample portion size with excellent service from the staff in very stylish surroundings.

We had a beautiful birthday meal for my partner. The food is always brilliant here and the staff are super friendly. Our server Waleed was superb and very attentive. 100% recommend.

Our taxi driver recommended O Kra to us and we weren’t disappointed. The food was tasty and very enjoyable. Service was good too. I can see why it has a good reputation in Derby.

Been to Okra a few times and it never disappoints. The early bird menu is incredible value. On my latest visit I had vegetable platter to start followed by chicken bhuna. The food was delicious and piping hot and the garlic and cheese nan was to die for. I can also highly recommend the lamb chops starter, beautiful. The staff are lovely too, friendly but not intrusive. A must visit if you are in Derby.

Fabulous, am a regular repeat customer. Spoton is the best description. Try the takeaway if you cannot dine in. You will not regret it

Went to this restaurant in 2022. Only place open at 21h30. Was nt a problem for them. .. great service and good food! Came back in oct. 2023 and they remembered me!!!! I really appreciated that!Food Just as good and service excellent! My brother went Just afterwards and loved it!! Thanks everone see you soon!!

The two of us visited and had the Early Bird menu. The staff were very friendly, attentive but not over the top. I had the masala fish starter, it was so soft and tasty, my partner had the lamb puri, the meat was tender and perfectly spiced. We shared the mains and both were delicious as was the rice and naan bread. A generous glass of wine and a nice touch with the hot towel and chocolate. We will be back!

Daughters 18th Birthday meal for 23 people and service was faultless . Couldn’t recommend highly enough and delighted we chose this venue. Food was great and very good value .

Excellent food, wonderful staff and environment. Great value for money for the service and the extremely tasty food.

I had forgotten how stylish the inside of O-Kra is the decor is outstanding put that with their early bird menu offer which is such a great deal. Staff are very welcoming and friendly the menu caters for everyone, food is well presented, tasty and an ample portion size and the service from the staff is attentive.

The staff are incredibly friendly. Great service and quality of food, flavours were superb!! Highly recommend will definitely be coming back.

Had a great birthday meal here with family. Warm welcome. Great service and the food was delicious. Would highly recommend. Always go out their way to make to make sure we have a lovely time. Will be visiting again.

I would highly recommend this place due to the level of service, felt completely welcome on arrival, the service provide when sitting down absolutely formidable, the food the best food I’ve eaten, the after care from eating the food to leaving couldn’t ask for better service

Wonderful food and fantastic service. My party visited two nights in a row. I had a fantastic Madras, which is difficult to get right, but at Okra it was fiery, tasty and complex. Highly recommended.

Fantastic food and even better service. Made very welcome and the fixed price early menu was excellent value.

A group of 8 arrived without notice. We were welcomed with open arms. The waiter was very attentive throughout the night and was very helpful with the menu options. He offered best value options and considered our individual tastes. As for the food? I’m glad you asked! The food was excellent from the poppadoms to the mains. Not a single complaint from the table.

We visited for my husbands birthday. We ordered from the early bird set me u which included a started, main, side and dri k for £19.95 which was great value. I had the house red which was nice, the vegetable platter as a starter which was beautiful and the okra lamb as a main with a garlic and cheese naan. The food was lovely, our whole party enjoyed their meal and to top ot off they surprised my hubby with a slice of red velvet with a sparkler which was a lovely touch. We would definitely visit again.

One of the best curry restaurants that I have visited. This is a far more 'fine dining' experience than you normally receive in a curry restaurant. I was a solo business traveller for an over night stop in Derby. There is plenty of space around the tables for discrete conversation, the waiting staff were excellent and were able to provide me with a great recommendation based on my taste. I had two poppadoms with chutneys served in chinaware, rather than the normal pressed steel. Then I had a delicious lamb curry, rice and a naan. I had two large glasses of merlot which were reasonably priced at £5 each. The meal came to £40 for one person. The restaurant is located near the theatres and centrally to the city, it is also just along the road from the popular Fat Cafe if you are looking for a follow on location. It took me only 10 minutes to walk from the also excellent Leonardo Hotel and the 'UKs safest carpark' if you are driving. I can't recommend highly enough, definitely worthy of five stars.

Spectacular food and service, made feel incredibly welcome. The team are very attentive to your needs, and very knowledgeable about the cuisine. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys quality food and service.

I booked a table for 18 on a Thursday night recently not realising that it fell on Eid during which the restaurant was running on a skeleton staff. We took advantage of the Pre-theatre deal which we thought was great value. Walid was my contact...

Brilliant as always. Cannot fault this place and I’m loving the new cocktail menu! The drinks were amazing, especially the salted caramel espresso martini! Great atmosphere and was well looked after by all the staff

We last visited this restaurant pre-Covid and were anxious that it would still be as good. We shouldn’t have worried. The food was outstanding; tasty, freshly cooked, hot and perfect portion sizes. And the service was exemplary. A really really good meal, simple as that.

Been here for the 1st time. The food was amazing and service was good to say that the place was full on the Saturday we went (good job we booked in advance) I deff recommend trying this place and the shashlik is outstanding. Thanks guys...

Arrived late in Derby. 21h45 all other restaurants closed . Welcomed with open arms in this place. Excellent service and great food. So pleased that we went back the next day.

Visited with friends: this place is alright. Would I go back? Not by choice... To start, I had the prawn puri: there were barely any prawns, it lacked flavour and tastes more like prawns with tomato salsa. It was also tepid. For main, I had...

Had a fantastic experience at okra They have excellent service,brilliant staff,great food and I’m very satisfied.

Early evening treat and well worth it. A lovely place. Great service from Kamel. Fantastic Food. will definitely be going back - there are more dishes we'd love to try.

I love coming to Okra never fails to disappoint me. Atmosphere is lovely and food is always 10/10. Staff at okra are always so helpful and professional. My favourite place to eat out, keep up the good work. See you soon.

Well wha a gem of a find absoltue amazing experience from start to finish from the starters to main perfectly balanced flavours and the waiters looked after us withoit being intrusive and a good night had

Food was cold for one starter and the other starters were bland/sanitised. Genenerlly the food was bland and did not taste fresh. The chips even tasted terrible - looks can be decieving. I should have guessed why the place looked so empty.

Brilliant food as always, can’t fault this place. Waiters bend backwards for you and it’s always consistent. Went in with some business clients and they loved it tooo

Best food and service that I’ve had since visiting the UK. Super clean, friendly and delicious! 100% recommend and would go back !

I’ve been to Okra a few times but we visited today as a family, and it was absolutely spot on! The staff were all so friendly, especially Harry! The currys were absolutely lovely and the lamb was so tender. Honestly couldn’t fault it at all!...

Nothing impressive. Overpriced and service was slow. Not fine dining! Also the toilets were not clean. The flush needs to be fixed in the ladies toilet, there were broken toilets seats. Food was average not worth the price paid. The only thing that made the...

Booked last minute on Valentine’s Day & glad we did. The food was amazing. Was worth the visit & will be returning.

Decided to get a delivery from here because of the excellent reviews. The only good thing I can say that the lamb was lovely and tender. The rest of it was well below par. Very poor flavour profile on the starters, just horrifically over spiced...

Had a great experience at okra from the food to the service everything was amazing especially the young staff he was so polite. The food came out quicker then I accepted knowing that the restaurant was busy.

We have had several takeaways from this place and they have been amazing. I used to always have food from another restaurant and for years was loyal but after receiving bad service and food, we changed our takeaways to this place. This restaurant is by...

So overall 13 of us went as a work do and had a blast of a night, however when it came to the bill, they tried charged us extra for the food, a mistake by the servers overall. But quality food overall, great service.

Absolutely awful nearly 3 hours for a delivery lots of excuses driver in a car accident food below average

Had a lovely evening at O-Kra with friends. Everything from the food to the service was Excellent!! Definitely the best Chicken Tikka Shashlik I've ever had, so tasty & fresh. Can't wait to return soon.

Had the best evening with the best food….. same again next month 😊 All of the staff are great and make sure you need for nothing. We’ve missed eating in x

Very friendly and attentive service. Excellent food. The staff were really helpful with recommendations and we're very accommodating.

Amazing food and excellent service. Staff was really friendly and attentive. Really enjoyed the food, would come again

Lovely staff, very welcoming and were very accommodating. Food was excellent, will definitely come again!

I had a lovely evening at the O-kra. Everyone was lovely, the service was amazing and nothing was too much trouble! I definitely would recommend, it is worth a visit!

Weekend away in Derbyshire. Booked into the O-kra when looking for an Indian restaurant close to the city centre. Friendly staff. Food nicely presented and very tasty. Worth a visit.

Very friendly - chatty without being obtrusive. Great service - attentive and quick delivery. The food was lovely, delicate spices and a great taste. Atmosphere was great!! Heartily recommended if you're in the area.

Very welcoming staff who helped me decide what food was nice and great service. Also a very attractive setting

Amazing food and fast service. Very tasty and authentic. Friendly staff. They always had a smile and made sure we were pleased with our orders

Amazing food and excellent staff!! Would definitely recommend, staff very friendly and welcoming. Food came out very quickly

The food is amazing here. And the staff are polite and well mannered. Highly recommended. The take away food is just as good as sitting in and eating the food arrives hot.

3 of us visited and had a banquet meal as a special night out. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with a nice atmosphere and staff were friendly and attentive. The food was amazing and the best Indian we have ever had; delicious fresh flavours and...

Outstanding food, excellent service and exceptional value for money. The long awaited return to one of our favourite restaurants has left us suitably nourished in a very pleasant and tranquil atmosphere, truly opulence without the price tag, we would recommend for any occasion.

Excellent service and the food was top quality. The time between ordering and the food arriving was very efficient. Will definitely be returning

Brilliant food and service from the guys on the first Saturday night back after restrictions have been lifted. Place was packed and had to wait a few minutes to be seated as I had not booked. Was taken to my table within a short amount...

Staying in Derby I asked my hotel for the "best restaurant in town". they named OKRA and they were right. Excellent food, great service - all freshly cooked.

Food was great and initally intending to return. We did get the wrong order by mistake, however there was no real apology for the error. Asked for the bill and took 20 minutes for someone to ask "can I help". The food I didn't get...

Awful service and even worse customer service. Order placed at 5pm for delivery at 6:10. At 7:10 decided to start trying to make contact, after 5 order refresh requests (ignored) and 14 phone calls (rang out for 20 seconds every time) I eventually decided to...

The food was delicious, just like eating at the restaurant. Speedy delivery too. Thank you very much.

First time visiting and will not be last, service and food were outstanding. Flavours were incredible! Thank you

Having wandered around and found nothing I was grateful to see this place which had plenty of customers. Well spaced tables and attentive staff helped. I had poppadoms, one beer and a main course with rice and Naan bread. All ok, but a bit steep at 30 pounds plus.

The food was excellent and the service by the whole team to make the night special was magnificent..

nice atmosphere and the owner treated us really well! Heard we were from out of town and gave us extra special service which was really appreciated. He gave us extra poppadoms and desert which was lovely! We had the offer for early diners which included a starter main side and drink for £18 which was very good value for money as the portions were also quite big.

Went with my wife for a birthday meal and once again excellent service and a great meal, can't fault this place

First visit to Okra and we were really impressed. The food was excellent, well presented and the staff were very friendly . We had a lovely evening and will definitely return and recommend to friends and family. Thank you.

Food was amazing and the staff were so lovely, friendly and attentive. Very good value for money, could definitely return

Booked last minute (due to issues at another restaurant) but so glad we did. Hands down one the top Indian restaurants in Derby. Food was flavoursome, plenty of it and very enjoyable. Friendly, pleasent and welcoming staff. Will definitely come here again

My partner and I had a fab visit to Okra. Both the takeaway food and restaurant food is always great quality and the menu offers lots of variety. The service in the restaurant in particular is excellent and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Thank you so much for a lovely meal! I would definitely recommend and will be returning!

Went as a couple first date night since Jan. The venue was beautiful, clean and spacious. The food was fantastic. Highly recommend the starter (Puri). The staff were so polite, professional and lovely to speak to. Took advantage of food offer atm and it came to £43 Inc am alcoholic drink each.

Had a fantastic meal served and looked after by a superb waiter Zi Looking forward to going back John and Tracey

Booked a table which had been confirmed, for the restaurant to email saying they’ve overbooked so have to cancel our booking 2 days before we were due to go. Won’t be returning.

Booked a table 3 days before as visiting from out of town, and they call to cancel 1hr before were due to be there, saying there overbooked! Giving us no time to book a table for a family of 4 anywhere else. Awful customer service, surely you would check your appointments the day before? Poorly managed.

Went for the 1st time to Okra tonight and it was absolutely amazing the food the service, someone was on hand wether it be a drink or something else, it was very busy but they never let it show, any time they came to the table there was a smile to the service, we will be visiting this restaurant again, thank you for the lovely service and food!

Excellent Indian restaurant. The service was friendly and attentive.The samosas are the best I have ever tasted.It was ruined slightly by a screaming child and i wouldn’t have expected to have been in there in an evening. I was so impressed with the decor too!Really great restaurant!

Just ordered a takeaway as they were our favourite Indian restaurant before lockdown. The food was hot, delicious and on time. I would really recommend ordering from Okra! We will definitely be doing so again soon, it tasted just as great as eating in!

Staff were disinterested and it was difficult to strike up a conversation.The food is no different to anywhere else and is just the typical Fine dining menu which is no different to the local curry house.Food and drink was expensive for what it was. £25 or £35 for a bottle of wine!
