Okra

Skilllfully blending the spices of South East Asian cuisine in Hawthorn is Okra, long delighting patrons with a signature offering of Malaysian and Thai cuisine. A modern layout and smooth, friendly service add to the all round pleasant vibe that permeates throughout this split level restaurant, with formal restrained décor, linen tablecloths and subtle lighting adding warmth to the unobtrusive setting. Expect to find an array of traditional Malaysian and Thai favourites dominating Okra’s menu, including the likes of Sumatran style eye fillet, black pepper duck and charcoal grilled chicken, marinated in a combination of herbs and spices with sweet chilli sauce on a bed of mixed salad. To finish, the black sticky rice topped with egg custard and your choice of ice cream is a must try.
