Everything got a 5* from me apart from the service, I gave it a 4* only because we had to wait more than a hour for our food - luckily wr had Chapman to keep us chatting and tbh when the food came out it was worth it, really tasty

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this Nigerian restaurant, and it was truly a fantastic experience from start to finish. The service was exceptional, with our waitress going above and beyond to make us feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious, brimming with authentic flavors that reminded me of home-cooked meals. And let me tell you about the suya spice – it was outstanding, easily one of the best I've tasted in a while. Overall, this is definitely one of the best Nigerian restaurants I've had the pleasure of visiting, and I highly recommend it to anyone craving authentic Nigerian cuisine served with warmth and hospitality.

I and my friends had an amazing dining experience at Enish Lewisham. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. I had the Egusi and it was delicious, I enjoyed every bit of it. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great Nigerian food and a lovely ambiance.

Everything was perfect, just the ambience. The food was top notch, and the service was top tier. The server was attentive and friendly. I’ll definitely revisit and recommend to my friends.

The ambience was nice, music wasn't too loud. The food tasted good, the portion sizes were huge and it also arrived in a timely fashion. If you would love to have some authentic Nigerian dishes i’d suggest you give them a try

I recently visited Enish and it was an great experience. The portions were generous and the flavours were out of this world! The fast and friendly service was a plus, and the ambience was great. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a taste of authentic Nigerian cuisine. 5 stars!

A beautiful Nigerian restaurant, tasted Nigerian and well prepared. They have a rich menu to choose from. However, the manager needs to consider a see-through glass and not the blocked glass, no one will know it's a restaurant if they can't see people eating there. I knew about the place on social media despite passing through that area regularly.

Every time I order from here the food is sooo good! Food is always flavourful and consistent, and have set a high bar if I were to try anywhere else!
