As I walked into Okra, the inviting atmosphere, complete with soothing Ethiopian music, immediately draws you in. But it's the food that truly steals the show. The extensive menu features a delightful array of dishes, from savory meat and vegetable platters to the beloved Injera, a staple in Ethiopian dining. The veggie/meat tasting platter is particularly noteworthy; diners rave about the combination of flavors and the freshness of the ingredients.

Great Ethiopian bear, authentic and delicious Ethiopian food! Cozy bience with Ethiopian misic. Feel like I'm Ethiopian! However, waited for more than one hour to get the food. If the service is faster, will give it a five star!

It was an amazing experience here. The food was extremely good. So tasty and the service was very good. They served us extra Injera for no additional cost. Waiting time was little too much. We were three people and it took 45 mins to make the food. I strongly recommend this place for nice Ethiopian Injeras

I'm in Dusseldorf visiting a friend and we decided to get the veggie/meat tasting platter for takeaway. I have never had Ethiopian food in my life. This is one of the best food experiences I have ever had. I was pleasantly surprised and will be recommending to my friends.

We came here with an Ethiopian friend. He told us that the food is authentic. We were a group and ordered mix platter with everything. Nothing but five star from service to taste of the food. It was absolutely delicious

Great Ethiopian themed restaurant with cozy atmosphere, you may find lighting a bit dimmer but you get used to in few minutes. Very concise menu focused on injeera specialties which was great. Fresh and delicious. Service was pretty good. When we visited tedj was unavailable so couldn’t try. There was just one server and she seemed quite busy and didn’t wanted to spend more time listening and talking, but overall good. It’s a small place so get full soon, no outside seating and clean toilets available.
