I went there with two friends a couple of weeks ago. It was so packed but we managed to get some seats. There was a live band playing and me and my friends really enjoyed it! We danced, sang along to the songs and had some delicious food to go along with it. I got Nigerian Fanta, Gizzard & plantain and moi moi. It was so delicious. The customer service was great. I felt a bit sorry for the waitresses because there was a lot of people they were tending to but overall a great atmosphere and will definitely go back.

A really nice experience! We got jollof and chicken and then a fish eforiro with pounded yam and it was all delicious. The server who looked after us was lovely and very friendly too! Would absolutely recommend

The food was absolutely delicious. I was very surprised as I'd ordered a takeaway before and had to bin nearly everything. The fried yam looked very pale on my first visit. I was pleased to see that the chef fried it more when I requested it. The yam porridge needs more sauce though but the yam is soft and delicious. I can't fault anything, seriously, well done chef! The service is fast and the hostesses are very attentive. I brought Chinese friends who'd never had African food, they were extremely pleased . Vanessa waited at our table and suggested they try Nigerian Fanta and malt, which was very well appreciated. She's a wonderful host. We loved the food so much I brought my friends to celebrate their birthday the same week.

This should be one of the best Nigerian restaurants in London. I’ve tried serval dishes, which were all delicious. The price is very reasonable - especially since the food and service is amazing

Had the Grilled Tilapia with Plantain and salad. Service was amazing, they managed to keep our table even though we were running late. Place was clean, service amazing and cocktails tasty. Would happily come back every night.

My initial experience with Ewedu was truly remarkable; I relished every bite. The staff were exceptionally friendly and went above and beyond to assist me with my shellfish allergies.

Enish was such a wonderful experience during my time in Brixton. This was my first time having Nigerian food, and it couldn't have been any better experience. Kiki took great care of us and was extremely accommodating!
