Cons:

• "Prices are quite expensive, especially when we received the dish. Portions were very small."

• "The food was just ok. We had moi moi, jollof rice, and lamb suya. Moi moi was tasty but dry."
• "My dish was okay as I can only base my review on what I ordered and ate on the day. Enjoyed the nkwobi but think for the price you pay, the size portion should change slightly."
• "The food was generally nice, even though I was expecting periwinkles in my afang soup."
• "Honestly, the food was average: jollof rice lacked depth of flavour; the plantain was soaked in oil and not at all crispy; my fish was a bit overcooked and not fully scaled."
• "I find the quality of their food inconsistent. The fish dishes have been better value for money as their prices are very expensive."
• "The meat was very tough to chew and of poor quality. Even the jollof rice tasted burnt."
• "The food was very very tasteless, other Enish branches serve more tasty food...."
• "The food was nice, large portions could not finish it."
• "In regards to my experience, overall severely disappointed! Unfortunately, the service was 1 out of 10 and the food portion size was pathetic however this was good as the food was not fresh the Suya was the texture of rubber, tasteless and very dissatisfying."
• "Waited over an hour for my food!!! When I was given my okra soup, it was the smallest bowl of Okra soups I've ever seen in my life 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️."

• "Absolutely shocking takeaway service. I'm always happy to support local businesses but after tonight I can say I will never buy anything from this Enish!"
• "Very poor service from young untrained host and hostesses....management should endeavor to train staff. Customer service is extremely poor."
• "Visited the Croydon branch of the Restaurant for a friends 60th birthday celebration. This was a last minute change from the original venue at Lewisham, as Enish claimed they had 'double booked'!!"
• "Poor Service, booked a table 2 weeks prior still had to wait 42 minutes to be sat at a table. Waiter had attitude and had wait over 47 minutes to receive my order. What a MESS."

Ambience and Atmosphere

• "Decor was basic and entertainment non existent with a buffering youtube playlist on a large screen tv."
• "Its hard to judge because this is a specialist restuarant and you have to accept that there will be some quirks that come with eating at a specialist reaturant."

• "When we arrived, the music was loud with a very loud base. We were about to leave but the staff said they would turn the music down, so we stayed."
