So nice. Absolutely would recommend - Edit
We got a Korean & a chip shop burger with polenta fries and the fruit slushy. We've been vegan 10 years and hard to impress. This is the second time I've been and the food is fresh hot and fast. Super tasty. Only thing missing is dessert. I wanted to take a photo of the food but I ate it so fast! Maybe next time.
Read morePros: Tasty , Good price , Fast

I didn't think it's going to be anything great - boy, was I mistaken! - Edit
We stopped here on our way back from our hiking trip in North Wales and was pleasantly surprised with the value for money and amazing flavours. I'm not even a burger person - I have yet to have many great burners but Okra has got to me in my top 2-3 places for this type of food!

Best vegan fast food - Edit
Hands down the best place to get vegan fast food. Have been going for years and will continue to go for years. It was a curse and a blessing that they shut on weekends as between myself and my girlfriend we were spending far too much money there, but I wish we were still spending far too much money there.

Best vegan burger ever - Edit
Visited today with my husband and daughter. We ordered the Chippy-T, Korean burger, and the Katsu noodle bowl. The food was delicious. I am a huge fan of tofu anyway, but I think this was perhaps the best burger I have ever had. Definitely worth a visit if knocking around Shrewsbury.

Amazing place - Edit
All delicious food, friendly staff and good selection on a relatively small menu they do very well. Crispy tofu was definitely crispy! Only wish it was open longer. Definitely recommend.

Fave vegan hang in Shropshire - Edit
Food is like a warm hug. Comforting, filling and so delicious. Laid back atmosphere and unique seating arrangements make it feel so cosy. Staff are chill, not too talkative but friendly.

Great find - Edit
We stopped off en route on a road trip and this was an excellent find! The food was incredible, I kind of wish I’d tried more. We loved it. My pictures don’t do it any justice so I won’t add them, but fully recommend and really well priced!

Delicious and Different - Edit
A full range of options; hard to choose! We went Chippy-T and Mexican. Good choices. Will have to come back to sample the rest. Forgot to take a photo of the food, sorry! Only remembered when I was left with my empty wrapper. Hope that helps lol.

We ordered the miso noodle bowl and Mexican burrito to take away. The burgers looked excellent too. There is limited seating inside but it is very cute.

Fantastic - Edit
We stopped by here whilst visiting the area. I’ve never seen a tofu burger before (only soy or vegetable based) so I had to try it. I had the Chippy T with potato wedges. We took our food to the castle and ate it on a bench in the sunshine. It was so good, the tofu was nice and crispy and the curry sauce was tasty. The wedges were nice and salty. Really enjoyed this meal, thank you.

Great choice of tasty food - Edit
I love the burgers from Okra and the polenta chips are a brilliant choice as an accompaniment. There is a decent choice of food to choose from. A great place in the centre of town.

Probably the best burrito I've eaten - Edit
I had the cat burrito, with chilli smashed tofu, kimchi and spring onions. Was amazing, incredible flavour, stayed intact and a good price. The polenta fries were great too, as was the sunshine (turmeric & oat) latte. Would recommend to anyone

Fast, delicious, impressive - Edit
We popped in for lunch and were impressed by the smooth and super fast operation here.
Read moreVarious burgers, noodle bowls and burritos to choose from. Service is fast-food style but the food is excellent.
I had the Korean burger, which was a battered tofu burger with various toppings and a slightly spiced sauce. Not hot, just warming. It was delicious. My partner had a burrito, which was filling and full of darker flavours.
The place was buzzing with non stop chatter from a non stop stream of customers, with as many taking away as eating in.
Lovely little place, well worth a stop and ideal if you're short on time.
Pros: Great value, delicious , Varied options
Cons: Could be tricky to eat in as it's so busy

Cheap and cheerful - Edit
Friendly, mainly takeaway, eatery for ‘street food’ ie junk vegan. When ordering, I thought the prices were incredibly cheap, then, when the Buddha bowl arrived, it was tiny. I could have ordered 2 mains, I suppose, but, if I were them, I’d have 2 sizes : small ( or what they do now) and normal. Having got that off my chest, the food was good and tasty and everything is vegan.
Read morePros: All vegan, Friendly staff, All cooked to order ( ie it is not fast food)
Cons: Servings are too small

One of my favourite Vegan Restaurants anywhere - Edit
Okra is without a doubt one of the best Plant Based Restaurants on the Planet. Everything on the menu is delicious and well considered, and the vibe in the restaurant is perfect - great music. Big big fan of the Chippy T burger which is a deep fried, crispy piece of tofu, a SALT AND VINEGAR HASHBROWN, curry sauce and pickles in a homemade bread bun - but honestly you can't go wrong here.

Amazing food, best chips in town. - Edit
I've eaten here a number of times and have always been happy. The flavours are balanced and interesting. Even my 6 year old salad dodger loved the tofu. The chipped potatoes are amazing. So simple but so good. The only downside are the opening hours but it makes it more of a treat when you get to buy something. Yum.
Read morePros: Great flavours, Great range for such a small place
Cons: Opening hours. Check they're open before going.
