Enish West Hampstead

Enish Finchley is an outstanding African Nigerian restaurant that truly brings the vibrant flavors of Nigeria to London. From the moment we arrived, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. The dishes were absolutely delicious—authentic, rich in flavor, and beautifully presented. A huge thank you to Mr. Yemi and his dedicated team for their exceptional customer service. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and attended to every detail with genuine care and professionalism. It's rare to find such attentive and friendly service, and it made our experience truly special. If you're craving authentic Nigerian cuisine served with a smile, Enish Finchley is the place to be! Highly recommended! Ask for Mr. Yemi always &you'll never regret it😉

Despite the fact that restaurant was busy we managed to get a table as walk in customers. It was my first time trying Nigerian cuisine. I am impressed with flavours, big portions and quality of food. I was a bit worried that I will not be able to manage spiciness of dishes, however I did (and I am not a big fan of spicy foods 🙂). Rating 4 stars because place was not clean enough, there were food pieces on the floor under some tables and we had to wait for food for a long time. But it was worth the wait end of the day. Recommending this place to those who are after new experiences, flavours and open to new cuisines.

God bless Enish! It's like I never left Nigeria. This is the place to be and I enjoyed great conversation with the fun lady there. My compliments to the amazing kitchen staffs.. food is superb... Definitely coming again... Imagine spicy ponmo 🤩🤩🤩🤩

Excellent service. Great suya. Excellent yam and pepper sauce. The Nkwobi was erotically tantalizing. The Edikikong was below par. Tasted off. The place has a great look internally but there was an unpleasant smell that wasn't in sync with the ambience. Overall a good place to eat out but a little more attention to detail needs to be put in place.

Great portion, good service and wait time. Friendly relaxed environment but suya was too tough and chewy, moimoi was not bad and the soup was decent not the one of the best though. The dishes looked delicious and it is well presented. Price was affordable and not too over priced for what it was. Cute setting and I came in a really quiet period I'm guessing. Overall 6/10 ( this is overall and not just for the food)

This was my first experience trying this cuisine. And I must say it was amazing, the goat meat dishes are filling and so flavourful. The spice level was just perfect for me with lots of tomatoes and peppers coming through well. And the team was very helpful with choosing our mains.

Enish says that "most West African cuisine is known for its richness, deep flavour and variety". Well, the same can be said of Enish, which, with its wide selection of exotic sounding dishes, really doesn't believe in compromise. The last thing you want, when seeking after authentic food, is for any restaurant to be guilty of dumming things down to appease the taste buds of the locals. What's the point in that anyway? If you're going to introduce a given cuisine to a new audience, then it makes sense to be true to its spirit, believe in what you know, and force the locals to come out of their comfort zones and appreciate what you love. If it really is as you believe it to be, it'll sell! And that's what we came away appreciating about Enish. Granted, new taste sensations can take some getting used to; however, with the basics of any food type being known universally, there were dishes had that simply weren't as well executed as they should have been. Nonetheless, this is a Nigerian restaurant that offers traditional dishes that are Halal, sans any pork on the menu. And given the variety of goat-based ones, we'd recommend all the way the goat's head, if only to encourage breaking out of that culinary comfort zone. For the neophytes, there's an incredibly helpful glossary of terms on the opening page of the menu, which goes a long way towards explaining key food items and dishes appearing throughout. Be sure to have a proper browse through this. Although having said that, our waiter was quite knowledgeable in this regard and very helpful in breaking things down for us lay diners.

I just love this place .... the food , the people and and overall friendliness of the staffs. I had the most amazing Asun and Nkwobi. Made me remember naija... the egusi bitterleaf and pounded yam gave me goosebumps... you clearly need a bed after the meal... I had to tip the kitchen head for a job well done ...I wish I had more for the manager... but welcome Enish
