Okra, located on two levels on the corner of 10th Zamzama Street, is an open, inviting and informal restaurant offering a fine dining experience. Starting out as a take-away for Pakistani food with a difference, owner Ayaz Khan infused the menu and the decor with a strong Mediterranean flavor and opened Okra's doors to dinner in the summer of 1999. Pakistani dishes remain on the lunch menu for regulars at Table 1 on Saturdays.

Inspired by the casual and simple elegance of Okra's setting and using the finest products available, Ayaz Khan has created a menu that is light and flavorful with the use of spices and aromatic herbs. Influenced by the tastes and textures of the Mediterranean countries, the menu consists of simple bistro classics with a twist. Serving up a mix of fruit and seafood, perfectly cooked meats with delicate sauces, crisp salads garnished with specialty olive oils, pasta done al dente and risotto cooked to perfection, keep the Okra regulars coming back for more.

Constantly experimenting with new recipes and to make sure his patrons enjoy new gourmet experiences, Ayaz changes the menu regularly and often includes recipes provided by his customers.

In addition to the ears of corn and whole garlic adorning the wall, there are rows of specialty olive oils from different regions of the Mediterranean. Some of the regulars have there own bottles and Ayaz Khan encourages his customers to sample the different oils, using them as dipping for the many different types of breads that emerge from the Okra kitchen.

Apart from the food, what sets Okra apart from other restaurants in Pakistan is its staff and impeccable service. Efficient and courteous, most of the staff have been with Okra since inception. 

Cleanliness is given the most important attention at Okra and there is no compromise on hygiene and training of staff on standards of food handling and service. The kitchen and all surrounding areas are maintained in the most impeccable condition at all times. A kitchen which can be shown just as proudly as the elegantly decorated dining room.
