Always great food and great service very speedy service and pleasant staff
Always good atmosphere good and great food and good value for money
Service was very quick staff were really professional and polite, food was really nicely cooked and tasted amazing we will definatly be back for a visit soon!
Good food, luxurious surroundings, shame about the service. The menu is much too large to be described as 'fine dining' but a plush interior and some fancy presentation put it on the better end of the spectrum of Derby eateries. Standard Indian dishes mingle with specials and portions are a good size. My friend specifically asked for a less spicy version of a dish that another member of our group ordered but the two tasted exactly the same; if the spiciness could not be altered we should have been told. There were lots of staff but they spent more time talking to each other than paying attention to guests. An OK experience.
Good food and service. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Only small criticism would be pickle tray accompanying popadoms could have been larger. I loved the size of the restaurant and the fact that tables and groups were well spaced apart without losing the lovely ambience.
We had a great evening at Okra. Really nice atmosphere and great delicious food. Very friedly waiters. Will be there next time again to try other meals. A restaurant which I can strongly recommend.
Excellent food, hard working staff, a totally rewarding experience.had my stag night there and a good time was had by all concerned, we have all agreed to return in the future.
A beautiful room, efficient, friendly waiting staff, food was full of flavour and fresh. I was very impressed by the luxuriously appointed and expansive ladies room which added pleasure to the visit. There was only one other table occupied by a family with children. They seemed to be having a good time. However it is quite enjoyable to be in an atmosphere which is a bit more buzzing. It was a Sunday night though. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary.
Great service and great food. Atmosphere is very nice, we went for the pre theatre menu and it was fantastic. Hope to go there again shortly
Service good, some different and unusual things on the menu, all cooked fresh, good sized portions, nice surroundings, parking nearby at Bold Lane Car Park
Friendly on entrance and brilliant service throughout, food was absolutely amazing. Thanks for a chilled and pleasurable meal. Would recommend to anyone. Rogan josh was on point!
very welcoming the food as always excellent very good service knowledgeable staff nothing was too much trouble no matter how small great value for a vast selection
Very good service and good food in a beautiful restaurant setting we enjoyed our meal and thought it was reasonably priced and good portions would recommend and will return again
One of my best restaurant experiences. The food was amazing and ambiance was second to none. I had my first date here last night and it made it feel special beyond belief.
The quality of the food has gone down in our opinion, it used to be our number one restaurant but now we will have to look elsewhere
The staff were very friendly and the food was very nice. The restaurant itself is also a very pleasant environment. My entire group enjoyed the experience.
Friendly staff, amazing food and beautifully decorated restaurant! The pre-theatre menu is great value for money. I've had take-away from here before and that was good too. I will definitely be returning.
Lovely place with excellent service. The overall atmosphere in the restaurant was great. We went (my wife and I) for a Valentine's meal. The food was fantastic and the menu catered for both our tastes (I like spicy whereas my wife doesn't) we both left full and happy ! :-D
Nice tasty food I had Monk fish masala . great service very efficient staff nothing was too much trouble . I would definitely visit again .
Went for a pre-theatre reat meal. The food was excellent, as was the service service. Okra has a lovely ambiance for dining even with the early eating time. Great value for money, we will definitely go back.
Lovely restaurant with great food and service.we did get a table that was in a draft from the door.next time I visit I will ask to sit in a booth.
First time visit for us & we shall definitely return. Loved the surroundings & the food was excellent. Great choice of dishes on the menu so looking forward to trying some more!
Beautiful setting and great service, had the lamb dish from the theatre menu, very nice and reasonable price, will definitely visit again. Parking was right outside too as Tuesday not to busy.
Fabulous meal as always and great staff too, who offered us the early bird menu even though it wasn't usually available in December as we asked about it. Thank you Okra, see you again soon.
Surroundings are great but food flavour could be improved. The meals we had were too bland. The butterfly king prawn starter relied on the breadcrumbs rather than the prawn or the spices for flavour and the main course (murgh jhatt phatt) had no identifiable spice flavour. A pleasant enough restaurant with decent service let down by disappointing food.
We arrived around 10 mins before our booking , we were seated very quickly , served promptly the staff were great and the food was brilliant ,my first time in okra and I would definitely go back , superb food .
Food wasn't as good as previous visits. The Chicken was over cooked on this visit so wasn't as enjoyable, It usually melts in your mouth.
Asked for the Christmas menu expecting to be given a choice, no one explained how it worked, if I had known it was a set menu I wouldn't have chosen that. The poppadoms were soft and tasted old, and when our starter was eventually ( after a 30 minute wait) brought out the samosa was rock solid frozen in the middle. Needless to say at this point we had had enough
Okra team delivered good service as always, and their vegetarian dishes are particularly good. Recommend the restaurant the restaurants layout as well - spacious and airy.
Very nice place to go and the food was just as good thanks for a good night all round . . . . . .
excellent, made my birthday. thanks to all the team at okra and my mrs :-)
Lovely restaurant, it was a Monday so a bit quiet. Food tasty but the waiter did not seem fully aware that the starter we ordered wasnt available and the glass of red wine we ordered wasnt available by the glass Enjoyed the experience but not as much as our previous visit a couple of years ago
We were on a works night out and many of my colleagues had not been here before. I'm a regular and happy to say it was lovely food and service as always and everyone enjoyed it.
A very well thought out menu. The food is amazing and the staff were very attentive. I would say the best Indian restuarant in Derbyshire.
Service was lovely and they were very friendly. The food was excellent! I had the "pre-theatre" deal that made the price very reasonable. The restaurant is also very convenient for the city centre and a number of nice bars.
The food was average and service not very good, the food was a long time arriving and had to look for staff if you wanted anything
For saying we was the only people in there at the time the service was just ok and quality of food was about the same
Food and service was poor which is sad to say because my previous visits have been excellent
Came on Saturday night, lovely setting, lovely staff and great meals. We had set menu which had a great selection at a very reasonable price. Will definitely return.
Lovely restaurant with nice friendly waiters and Lovely flavoursome food good choice of menu I would definitely recommend it . Also they do a delivery service which is a bonus as we often order food Saturday's nights when friends come round
Great value. Wonderful food with a good range of dishes. Decor is modern and spacious area for dining. Will be returning again to try another Okra dish.
Overall the meal was good for most of our party. However the lamb in my dish was quite fatty,which should have been removed before being served, and some of the onions were under-cooked.
Friendly atmosphere and delicious food. 2nd visit and will definitely be returning soon. There are many curry houses in Derby but this one is up there at the top
Super service excellent food great value for money ordered from the main menu although the pre theatre menu had a good range for a set price recommend either menu depends on your budget staff very knowledgeable if you're not sure
We went as a family of 4 and I have to say everything was excellent. The food was fab and the staff very nice. I would recommend okra to anybody. We will definitely be returning.
We enjoyed a rare midweek evening out with friends and found Okra to have very friendly and accommodating staff who provided excellent service, not only in the speed of the dishes arriving but also their explanation of which foods to pair together. The quality of the food was excellent and you could tell a lot of work goes into preparing these delicious and thoughtful dishes!
Okra @ Derby 5 star restaurant (Groupon voucher) Excellent from start to finish, just 1 point the toilets are upstairs which many be a problem.
Fantastic food, excellent quality and first class service. A first class restaurant for Indian food. Great menu choice and reasonable prices for such high quality food and service. Would definitely recommend.
