      Guess why the wife's name is first? Because she is the executive brains behind the business and she funded it too. Who do you think secured the bank loans? She did. She is the professional engineer, not him.
      We don't even know what his profession was before they got married. He is a hustler. She is the brains behind the brand. We want to hear her side if the story too!

    There's this day I was in London with my friend and needed a Nigerian Restaurant to eat. I typed Nigerian Restaurant near me on my map and Enish popped up. I told my friend let's check out this place. We used our map walked distance looking for Enish, till we found it. We ordered our meals and enjoyed it. After that day I informed all my friends about the place. We all leave Maidstone for hours to London just to eat from Enish. Today I see myself and my girls right here in this video. 😊😊😊

He definitely is a pure soul full of banter and more importantly he treats his staff with dignity and respect. He’s also hired people I’ve sent to him and he’s definitely ordained for greatness. This is surreal to me. Shola & Eni… blessings to y’all. I’d stop here cos if I say more he may read and know who I am😆.

    To me Enish was always going to be super successful. What distinguished Enish from other African restaurants that came before them (805s) was a strong focus on customer service and a focus on the younger demographic. People tend to spend more/come back to your establishment when the customer service is good and if we’re being honest it’s the young people that spend money not the aunties and uncles, something 805s failed to realise; giving Egbeda customer service when you’re in London. Abeggg.

    I have been to their Lewisham restaurant with my secondary school classmates from Nigeria and we had a 20yrs reunion there. It was amazing and I love the pepper soup in particular and their isiewu.

    ENISH, ENISH, very down to earth and honest man. I love his work hard ethics. A very hard working attitude to emulate. I live in London and I've visited ENISH Lewisham branch twice. The quality of the food and service is worth the money. Interesting conversation. Cudos!!

    However, I have been to 2 Enish restaurants different locations in London and he needs to address the staff professionalism.
    I like Enish and this is just constructive criticism..

    I'm a Lewisham local Nd I remember the early days. There is another BOR in Lewisham that I avoid because of a poor experience with the manager. No matter how stressed Shola was in the early days his humility and effort towards customer service was always top notch. Kudos to him!! Keep flourishing authentically!

    I’m Igbo and I’m proud because I love to see my Yoruba brothers doing big, as someone who literally grew up in the south west of Nigeria before moving on with life here in the US, of course we all already know why I left that country haha! I think it shouldn’t always be most igbos having the mindset that we’re the only ones with an enterprising mindset. I know most typical Yorubas wouldn’t really want into cycles like this, most typical Yorubas I’ve met are all for the easy and soft life haha! but nah this is out of the realm for me. 😊Speaking from personal experiences. And I’m pretty sure they’re still more of him like this. Kudos to you brother, I can’t wait to see Forbes celebrating a vibrant Nigerian soon. You earned it!!! For me..I don’t think Nigeria is a place you should put your money for now Atleast. Focus on soaring high first Abeg lol. “Emphasis on for now!”.😅
