Enish, Nigerian restaurant, opens new $3m outlet in Dubai

Enish Restaurant & Lounge, the biggest Nigerian restaurant chain in the world, is set to open a second food outlet in Dubai, UAE later this year. Owned and run by Olushola Medupin, a dynamic and enterprising young Nigerian, who hails from Kogi State, Enish opened its first restaurant in London, United Kingdom and presently boasts of six food outlet in Lewisham, Brixton, Ilford, Finchley Road, Camberwell and Croydon.

On February 28, 2020, Enish Restaurant & Lounge made a giant leap from the UK into Dubai, two weeks before COVID-19 was declared a pandemic. However, Enish has stayed afloat even in such trying circumstances and now all is set for its second outlet in the emirate.

The first Enish Restaurant & Lounge in Dubai is located in the heart of the emirate along the famous Sheik Zayed Road at Number 1. As the only authentic Nigerian bar in UAE with soothing traditional signature African cocktails, Enish offers a perfect venue for both business and social meetings with various night themes for each day, such as: Ladies Night, Flux Saturdays, Afro Drip, African Night, Afro Beat Night among others.

It stands as the only bar in UAE that is flexible and guest-oriented, capable of hosting various types of function from cooperate to social. The restaurant takes its name from the first couple letters from the owners, Eniola and Shola Medupin. The various branches of the restaurant have become a melting pot of sorts for Nigerian celebrities who throng there to get a taste of authentic Nigerian food abroad.

Apart from Nigerians, Enish restaurants enjoy patronage from people of diverse cultures and nationalities. With the six outlets in London, one in the US and two in Dubai (adding the soon to be opened second outlet in Dubai), there are nine outlets, which makes Enish the biggest Nigerian restaurant chain in the world.

The new Dubai food outlet is expected to open between August and September 2021.
