I've given this place a 4 star cause it's located on a busy high street road with parking restrictions before certain times. If you arrive after the restrictions you will find side street parking and be less frustrated.

The dishes we ordered were delicious. I couldn't fault any of it. The ambience was ok for a Nigerian restaurant. If you ever want to visit and you drink alcohol, you should request for the cocktail called 'shakabula'. It's exquisite and packs a punch.

They have a grand piano upstairs. You can serenade yourself and friends to some nice tunes or show off your keyboard skills

Enish is notorious for poor customer service but this branch is especially bad! Firstly there were way too many staff working - about 30 people to about 5 tables of 2. Waiters knowledge of the menu was nonexistent - they said they didn't have what I ordered so I ordered something else then they brought me both dishes and charged me for both. I thought 'no problem'... We asked about the type of fish available and there was a lot of umming and ahhing - we eventually ordered a fish dish and my friend was UNHAPPY with the dish as it wasn't what she asked for. A lady came out to speak with us - I assumed she was a chef and wanted to apologize or at least offer something else, instead she came to argue with us and implied we were lying! Useless goat. We sent the fish dish back and shared the plates that were double ordered earlier. After paying the bill, the staff, IN THE MOST OBVIOUS WAY POSSIBLE were literally talking about us and LAUGHING!! Shame on you all.
Now onto the food: the jollof was dry and bitter, the asun was just boiled spicy meat. The okra didn't taste nice, the fish was hideous. the cocktails were just flavoured water! The only thing worth it was the fried yam and suya.

Mmmm...I had some jolof rice stewed and assorted meat. My colleague had this enormous fish with plantain. Fish was too dry for my liking. I need to try other dishes to know more of Enish.

Lamb Suya with the Jalof Rice and Plantain was so nice. Loved it. I really wanted the Goat grilled Jalof meal but it wasn't ready as we got there early. So have to come again next time to try that out. Also they said the meat is halal which was a huge bonus. Great customer service, esp from Joshua.

Their food is generous size but you well pay for it🥴😆😁if you have never been to this restaurant, you would think twice cause it looks bad from outside.😅Once you enter, you see it is a big restaurant and they even have a garden space. They serve food they also offer shisha. The food is absolutely amazing. It tastes so good😍👍I tried their main food with my friend, goat meat jalof rice plantain, beef meet jalof rice plantain (main course) and 2 Palm vine,(first time I tried it😀it is a big bottle you can have it two people, it tasted good) I paid £48😁🥴which is not cheap.🔥🙊📢 They also charge £1 for a takeaway box🤯

Visited the newly opened Enish restaurant near Oxford Street with work colleagues and a good friend. Food was great and the portions were very filling! Small hiccup with the service - the lady who looked after us got a few of the items that we ordered wrong which caused quite a bit of delay lasting 40+ mins. Two items we ordered which were not available still made it to the final bill (not sure how that happened). The manager (Dr. Joe), was fantastic. He came in to sort out the issues and gave us a small "gift" at the end - thank you bro.

Will recommend a visit. I'm sure steps will be taken to address the concerns raised. Thank you guys!

Nay.. food is not as tasty as they price. You will get much better African food for less price. I think popularity of this restaurant is declining that’s why. I have been there in a dinner time and wasn’t busy at all. Pricy, Pricy and pricy.

One of the best Nigerian food enjoyed, its home away from home food very well cooked, presentation on the table wow makes you feel pretty proud to eat in such a environment. The staff very customer service oriented. Good vibes too all around.
