A Cameroonian place in London... Home away from home, couldn't be happier!…read more The Maestro has everything I miss from home, and is the perfect place to go with my Cameroonian pals when we need our big dose of home food. Everything: from Ndole to plantain fries, Chicken DG to Pepper soup (not for me though, intolerant to chili), there's everything to make us happy. It's African food, so please be patient. It takes time and you'd better not be starving when you go there. African nights tend to be quite long and boozy! :) Service wise, here again it's the perfume of Cameroon. That warmth and family touch has no equal. I know I am being subjective and some expressions may be "unwelcoming" to non-Cameroonians, and I get that. But still, this is home. With its good and bad sides, and that's why we like it. The waiter who greets you with no smile, then brings you first drink with a quarter of a smile, then the second with half a smile, then your starter, and finally a full smile when you eat the main... When it's time to hit the desert, you're so full and happy that you talk to her like your sister. Sounds strange, doesn't it? But again, that's home! They regularly have live bands playing weekends. The Maestro becomes quite literally the first stop of the night: whiskey from 6 to 9, then dinner until 11, then whiskey again until 1-2 ish before hitting an African club in Peckham or Camberwell... The Maestro has it all and just gets it. If you want a Europeanised restaurant with African food, turn around and go somewhere else... But If you want to experience a bit of Cameroon with no filter whatsoever, exactly the way it happens in some streets of Douala or Yaounde, then you are at the right place!

If I could give this restaurant zero stars I would. My family and I, are visiting from New York,…read moreand were excited to try this Nigerian restaurant in London, recommended by a local family member. As a Caribbean family with Ghanaian roots, we were really looking forward to it. They charge high prices for low quality service. When we ordered our drinks, the waitress got it wrong, and our daughter's soft drink took about 20 minutes to arrive. Even the ice came much later. In addition, we were initially told that they did not have goat meat, so we ordered oxtail. However, after waiting for forty-five minutes for our food, we were then told that goat meat was indeed available and would be ready in a few minutes. Those few minutes turned into another 15 to 20, and when the food finally arrived, it was the wrong order, and the meat was tough. It was clear that the young waitstaff were unprepared and overwhelmed even though there were only 5 tables. In total, we waited an hour and forty-five minutes for our food, and the overall experience left us disappointed and frustrated. We do not recommend this resturant and we will not be returning.

I ordered fufu with light soup and my friend ordered jollof rice with beef. The food took 15 mins to come out nice and hot. And that was the BEST jollof rice EVER!! Like I want to go back and buy some to take back to NYC with me. The light soup was delicious and the portion was huge. Its not a super fancy place for a date but there's ample space to sit down and the customer service is really good too I look forward to going back and trying some of their other items

It can taste very different from place to place but I ate at two Enish locations in London and was not disappointed. If I lived there I would visit them for this soup daily. It was so good. Their suya and goat pepper soup was also heaven. Already recommended to friends and family visiting London. Looking for to my return just to experience their food again.

I had always seen this restaurant on Instagram and was so excited to finally be able to come to…read moreLondon to try it with my mom! The food was absolutely amazing 10/10 but the only thing that threw me off a bit and made me a little uncomfortable was the customer service. Maybe it's just because I'm an American and the culture there is different because I have noticed it with a lot of restaurants in the UK, but the servers/workers are not too friendly whether the store is busy or not and everyone we tried speaking to, to get an understanding of how to order at the restaurant (since it was our first time here) kind of gave us attitude or acted like it was so annoying to ask simple questions?? Our food ended up taking more time to get ready because we didn't understand the whole call, bill, and cancel method of ordering which we tried to ask but didn't get an answer straight away. The person who finally addressed it was kinda rude about it.. Anyways, the decor inside the restaurant was really nice and it truly does give an upscale sort of vibe which is cool, but I feel like in the near future I'd prefer to just order for carry out rather than sitting inside the specific location we went to just because the food is so good but the customer service just was not it. However I've heard that different locations sometimes have better customer service so.. ‍
