Inside Okra: What makes this restaurant Karachi's best fine dining experience?
Located in a side street off bustling Zamzama, Okra has quietly made a name for itself in the years since its inception.
Okra was set up by in the '90s by Ayaz Khan and it swiftly redefined what fine dining was all about. Having experienced what the restaurant is now it comes as a surprise that Okra faced a lot of uncertainty around its opening, as Khan reveals: “In the beginning I was frightened to run my own restaurant. Working at hotels wasn’t satisfying enough.”
Khan didn't know how to express his frustration until he came to recognize his love for food. It was then that he realized opening a restaurant where he set his own standards was the only way forward.
