    I will always remember my experience here fondly. I had called a number to verify if they had certain types of local dishes. Apparently they didn’t have what I asked for but the person was so nice on the phone and urged me to see for myself the options they had. I’m glad I eventually visited. The food is great and they tried to create a very relaxing eating environment in their restaurant. The waiters are also very helpful and courteous. In my haste to leave before nightfall, I left my fruit squeeze unopened on the table. I called another line and was assured it would be kept for me. True to their words, they gave me the drink when I came and identified myself the next day. So I rate them really high for this.

    Eye catching restaurant that offers various Nigerian delicacies.They have almost all Nigerian delicacies and a variety of rice to pick from, you'll get confused but you should try their native rice. Depending on when you visit, it can be really rowdy but the staff are professional and friendly right from the security guys. It could also be described as pricey but good things aren't cheap, right?

    So I just went to dolphin to buy ukwa ..before I left I called them around 11.55am and they said it will be ready by 1.30pm ..I went there by 2.00 only to hear that they haven't even started cooking the food ...that notwithstanding I decided to get white soup (nsala) and wheat. On getting home I opened the food only to see a dead cockroach inside the soup Dolphin you guys need to do better than this The incompetency reeks!🤢🤮🤮

    I enjoyed their bitter-leaf soup with garri. Ingredients were in their right proportion. The atmosphere appeared good for those who would love to dine in. You should visit.👌🏾

    My first time visiting Dolphin restaurant in Enugu and I was pleasantly surprised. My first surprise was the use of technology in the restaurant. The pleasant young girl who took our order did so with a tablet. Our table had a number and our order was processed immediately after she pressed send. Maybe because of the number of people stopping and greeting me by my table a matronly and well-off-looking lady approached me and introduced herself as the owner. I greeted her warmly and commended the ambiance and use of technology in the restaurant. The food arrived hot and looking tantalising. My In-law Nnamdi Ezera and I devoured the eba and Nsala soup for me and egusi soup for him. The food was tasty, mildly spiced, and fresh. The pleasant young girl serving our table brought us fish and said it was courtesy of Madam. We expressed our appreciation and did justice to the fish. As we requested our bill, the owner told me another customer had settled our bill. I was taken aback for I rarely receive gifts from people. I went over to the mystery payer and he said he follow me on social media and watch my TV appearances with keen interest. I appreciated him and exchanged contact. I recommend Dolphin restaurant without hesitation for its good food, the embrace of innovation, and friendly service. They are ready for prime time.

    The meals are lovely but on the high side as average meal cost above N4000 per plate. But the meals are tasty. It is also not a very busy place and the staff are responsive. FOLLOW MY GOOGLE PAGE, VICTOR NDUBUAKU; I give reviews on your Google page.

    I'm giving this place 4-star rating due to the quality of their meal. Some of their staff need to improve in their service delivery. A situation where so many staff would be idling around while customers are waiting to be attended to really got me discouraged at my first time of visit. However, the staff that finally attended to me had good customer service attitude. I was also double charged when my bill was presented. I had to complain for the excess charges to be removed and it was done.

    Dolphin 🐬 Restaurant is one of the most Niceness and cool restaurants you can actually get in Enugu. There food is so deliciously sweet 😋 especially their Oha soup (igbo's delicacy) is second to none 🤗, i remembered ,I once went there when I was sick ,ate their oha soup and got myself well again.....Funny right 😂😂 but that's the honest truth.

    The attention to customers was surprisingly good and the food was worth it, could be said to be expensive for Enugu but it was worth it.

    Nice meal in a conducive atmosphere. But when u are going there, know that what u are paying for is the soup and the meat, bcos if you are hungry, u might have to go for 2 to 3 wraps to be OK. But the quality of the meal is top notch.

  • 5/5 Gbujie C. 2 years ago on Google
    If you want quality and quantity of your money's worth for Nigerian dishes, then this is the best place to be. They prepare vegetables with required heat not to overcook or dénature the vitamins and essential nutrients. The quantity and quality of food is superb. The restaurant is clean and organized you will hardly see a fly in that place. You can meet great men and women of caliber in that place, thereby making meaningful and healthy connections They serve you food "First" to your satisfaction before money. This implies that your satisfaction comes before money They serve you as if you have a personal connection with them. They even ask if you need extra meal at very little or no cost. This restaurant is located behind Market Square and Kilimanjaro. I am totally impressed and will post a video soon

    Is a very nice restaurant one can go

  • 5/5 Cjay T. 2 years ago on Google
    Food quality is top-notch. However, their services needs to be improved based on waiting time for taking orders as well as waiting time for the arrival of the order. Outside that their meal is a true definition of quality.

  • 4/5 Emmanuel Frank O. 3 years ago on Google
    Eating in this restaurant is a nice and satisfying experience. Located beside the famous otigba junction in the heart of Enugu town, this restaurant has a close proximity with New haven which makes it easier for people staying in the big hotels in New haven. The local foods are carefully prepared, the international foods are also prepared bearing the generally public in mind. The prices might be on the high side, but the dream of eating delicious meals will eclipse that thought.

  • 5/5 Okolo I. 3 years ago on Google
    Cool and very affordable

  • 1/5 Abimbola samuel B. 3 years ago on Google
    I don't have any cause to hate the restaurant. I enjoyed my dinner there and the meal was quite good , it was an improved local food, 'Amala'.

  • 3/5 Chuka O. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food. The place is busy and the service ok, however there is a delay before I got the attention of the waiter and another delay before the food finally arrived.

  • 4/5 Ike E. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice restaurant, good food and the washroom was really clean. The only downside is that some of the wash hand basin needs cleaning, fixing and ensure they are functional, had to try a few to find one that actually has running water to wash my hand.

  • 4/5 Osegbo N. 1 year ago on Google
    Liked it. Very nice place to dine, quality local food with great taste. My first visit to this place was with a guy who didn't have money to pay for the food ordered but wanted to eat to his fill at my expense without first informing me that he didn't have cash before hand. I've kept looking at him as a glutton ever since then🤣😂

  • 4/5 Daniel e. 1 year ago on Google
    Dolphin has always been a favorite restaurant, and I one of my best restaurant I plays like to go. The attention to customers is always their priority.

  • 3/5 Anita M. 1 year ago on Google
    They should plan on handling a crowd of more than 10 people.. it took over 30 minutes to give an accurate bill of 17 guest.... Proactive skill is required.. Meal was sumptuous.

  • 4/5 Collins O. 1 year ago on Google
    Good to come back to this wonderful vintage restaurant that always offers different varieties of freshly prepared delicious delicacies, that makes her guests salivate 😋 at the sight of the food. Nice location, with good staff and must single out Esther and Chidera for the wonderful service rendered to us. Enjoyed every bit of my time and must return next time.

  • 5/5 Dr Ijeoma Olachi O. 1 year ago on Google

  • 4/5 olachi o. 5 years ago on Google
    The place is nice. Cool ambiance, there was a lot of food, I asked that the excess be packaged for me as takeout. It tasted good though.

  • 1/5 Senator A. 1 year ago on Google
    First of all the air-conditioning in there doesn't work. So you would fry up trying to eat in there in heat. The soup especially Oha soup is not bad, but the pounded yam rap for that size is just a joke. You are forced to eat a decent two or more.. But its pricey@ Dolphin. I am shocked for Enugu standards they say there's no money like that in Enugu.

    The Nsala soup was delicious. A friend referred me to the restaurant because of my cravings. I satisfied my cravings. I will surely come back and refer people. The customer service is top notch. The staff seems to be well trained. I forgot to tip the person that served me😌. I will highly recommend anyone.

  • 4/5 Erasmus O. 3 years ago on Google
    Dolphin restaurant is located at otigba roundabout,Ogui road,Enugu. Their meals are tasty but the meat size is small based on my opinion. Their security services are good. The environment is spacious for parking of cars and neat. The food court is neat, spacious,well arranged and lovely. Customers service is below average,the sales girls are not respectful to customers. When it comes to good meals,Dolphin restaurant is recommended.

  • 3/5 Getty J. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent food always. My favorite is the rice with banga soup and goat meat. However I'm giving three stars because of the attitude of some of the persons serving and occasional time wasting. You stand there for ever and they just ignore. MGT should try to improve this.

  • 4/5 Kenechi N. 3 years ago on Google
    Delicious African meals. Always a great experience. However, their food finishes on time. One cannot think of having dinner here. Lunch is the perfect meal here.
