Reviews for Real Fruit Bubble Tea show a mix of experiences: a sugar taro sherbet large with no pearls was not thick as requested and ended up slushy, despite asking for less water; the diamond mango drink usually has real mango pieces, but this time the pieces were smaller. A note mentions morning opening hours as a worker arrives to open. Some diners praise the drinks as amazing and naturally made with real fruits, while an update notes that extra staff improved order flow even though there were fewer customers at the time. Others describe the shop as understaffed with only one employee handling terminals and a very small work area, which can add wait time since real fruit must be chopped and prepared, suggesting to order and come back later.

BBQ Grill African Seafood/Fish

Review Summary

Overall, Mam Grillades earns praise for rich, authentic African grillades and well done, juicy chicken that tastes just like BBQ with a charcoal finish, often described as fresh and full of flavor, with generous portions and affordable prices.

Restaurant L'Escape

Review Summary

Reviews of Restaurant L'Escape describe very comfortable seating and a friendly waiter who used videos and photos to help select dishes, a welcoming, clean space that opens on time, and a dining experience that felt like a cherry on top of a trip. The food is praised as amazing, flavorful and authentic Nigerian fare, with dishes like Ogbono Soup, Bitterleaf Soup and Seafood Okra that are well seasoned and not overly salty or spicy. The atmosphere, including good music and a cozy vibe, contributes to the positive impression, and many say they would return and recommend the place. Some observations note that the seafood okro is tasty but the crab and shrimp portions are small for the price, and there is a sense of discovering Nigerian cuisine rather than Cameroon when visiting.View restaurant profile

Review Summary

Jugo Juice draws praise for bright, fresh juices and smoothies such as Mighty Kale and Peanut Butter Chocolate, described as high quality and made to order.
