Escape in Thurrock

Other long before you arrive or wait for nearly 2 hours. Nice food, good taste great value. Prices are very okay. They just need a bit of more food safety, especially when serving and working through people with a plate of food that is not covered.

Best Nigerian hangout in Grays. The food, service, even the gist forever all guarantees the 100% naija setting.

Overall, nice place with pool and table tennis. Good food

The food is so tasty and staff friendly. However, it was just an observation that is habitual to African establishments. Cocktails are advertised on the menu, so it does my head in when I hear "we don't have this ingredient or that item because we were busy yesterday" Chicken shops do not run out of chicken and they are busy all the time! They have enough supply for 7 days of the week, so why can these local restaurants not have them?. Especially, when are next door to or opposite a green grocer. 🤔 Otherwise, I really enjoyed everything else. Credit's to the chef. We were informed that the chicken was local (boiler) chicken, so it would be a little tough. It was magnificent. So flavoursome. Jollof a little spicy but balanced with the flavour. Plantain fried to perfection 😋 definitely recommend.

Good customer service,good food and atmosphere, the guy at the counter was friendly and welcoming. Been a person that like to patronize our own business and like to buy black, I will definitely be recommending this place.

Home away from home, the food is out of this world.... so tasty and authentic 😋

Food is super delicious. Clean place.Several options of food to choose from...Very nice setup. Attendant helpful with choices. Highly recommended

Over hype food. The food has no taste, i order seafood okro tasteless and only to get a burnt fry fish inside. My grilled fish plantain look so soggy and burnt. The cutting of the plantain were so thin not happy completely waste of money.

Yummy food. Sometimes food is late but it's worth it 👌

The food is just unbelievable Service even better I love this place and comparing to a few other restaurants, well all I can say is none compare to escape Keep up the good work

Use to be very good grill fish but now is horrible, although it was changed, good customer service and the sauce is not very nice as it use to be. There should have been an option of pepper sauce and the new sauce so people can choose. At least your waiter agreed that people complained of the sauce was too hot and that was why it was changed. Just suggesting cause I loved the old sauce. Good board games and nice suya

Fantastic food. Always freshly made. Customer service and order processing needs a lot of improvement

Lovely food, great atmosphere and I get to have my favourite beer Star what more can a gal ask for? Overall it’s the best place in town

Amazing food, especially the grilled fish platter

Great food and great place for socialising especially for the Nigerian community.

Waitress was lovely and friendly. Busy but she kept her cool and orders came out quick. Order the yam and plantain chilli sauce. That was nice. Very awkward entrance. You would miss it if you didn't look hard enough. Value for money

A very magnificent place to be and enjoy your day.

The grilled fish yam and plantain with the signature sauce is so on point. The chapman took me back to Nigeria. Ahh the asun literally was mouth watering. I would go back every day if I could.

Excellent vibes and atmosphere. Friendly staff and management. Great tast and lovely dishes

Good service, atmosphere is on point with a welcoming faces as well. The food is GREAT . I will recommend this place.

Isiewu always on point. Last time I ordered though, I got it in a smaller container 😞 I hope this is a one-off.

Food was amazing 👏service was great. We order two times both time perfect. Definitely recommend this place to any one looking for Indian takeaway Xx

Great food, good service and ambience.

The food was delish👌 Service standard was 100% and overall ambience had a nice homely feel too

Agree. Escape is a good place to wine &dine.

I ordered fish from this place today. Got to the restaurant to pick up told them guy that I wanted to open to see if there is enough sauce and he said you can open but you still have to pay! I said I didn’t say that I’m not paying! I just want to see if there is enough sauce. Got home opened up the foil only to see watery sauce a lot of sauce pouring out from the foil. So my living room and kitchen was messed up with the sauce. That was the second thing. I then sat down to eat the fish and saw that the plaintain was not cooked at all. Everything ruined the meal. It was like someone rushed to make the food. Very bad service! I doubt I will be coming here again and I will also advice my friends not to. The customer service when I got to the restaurant was poor and even when I called to complain they were trying to justify everything. Very bad

Lovely food, good service, they also do take away, highly recommend, will definitely visit again, parking in town centre, steps into restaurant and bar

Amazing spot with lovely atmosphere and option too have fresh catfish killed and prepared for you into peppersoup , Enjoy the music and finger foods while you wait

It was lovely and entertaining, staffs were so quick to serve. I will recommend to anyone who's interested.

They make proper Naija food. If you think you can handle hot food try the asun.

Relaxing with good food and drinks

Lovey food at escape best African food in Essex grays and friendly staff and food is affordable and freshly cooked

Nice selection of traditional African food.

Was there with some friends and we had a great time. .service and food was on point.

The food was good but the place wasn't that neat, i think its still under renovations

Good delicious African food prepared and served in a cool clean atmosphere.

My first time in this Nigerian restaurant. Seems popular in this hood. Worth the try. The Tilapia Pepper Soup was awesome. Complete with "home spices", a good meal it was. A must try for the typical Nigerian. Nice view over looking a busy street. Pricing? Very okay.

The best Nigerian food in the grays area. Love the nighttime events they host. Best to eat in the restaurant though as the takeaway more often that not, spills.

Was here today for dinner with my family. Food was delicious. Kids loved it. Friendly staff. Welcoming and kind to us even though We had problem getting my daughter who uses wheelchair in and out of the restaurant we have had a positive experience. We appreciate you all and to the gentleman I wish I could thank you personally. It is well with you xx

The place looks ok, i had the fish with plantain an yam. The fish i had was no taste unfortunately for me. And tge funny part of it all before leaving the waitress a young chubby girl tried to collect my bf nr lol. Well she tried.

Very delicious meal, nice Service and clean atmosphere. I Love!!

Nice place to relax. Excellent service. Great food too. Highly recommended.

Escape is way far better than the old New Naira so I will definitely recommend them

Very good african food and related environment

Lovely food and good customer service x

Not a bad place for an intimate family outing.

Wonderful place to be in, I hardly recommend food being a cook myself it hard to please my tastebud but this restaurant stands out. Excellent customer service, cool environment, warm reception. Overall no faults at all.

First of all let me start by saying the food is amazing, they have so many delicious meals for you. Apart from that the customer service is great the lady at the bar is so polite and well mannered. I would recommend this place any day
