flagship restaurant and since opening its doors in 1979 has established a reputation for
creative and innovative cuisine to the highest standards, offering a true gastronomic experience
without pretence or pomposity, appealing to all food lovers and not a chosen few.
It is
critically acclaimed both locally and nationally and hailed as the most exciting African
restaurant in Enugu for decades by the most demanding critics.
Dolphin restaurant is a
family owned and run establishment. Each member brings a wealth of skills to the restaurant, and
more importantly are totally committed to ensuring a true fine dining experience.
Growing success in 2001 enabled the company to invest in the development of a purpose-built CPU
(Central Production Unit) in Uwani. This enables the group to cater with ease to small and large
scale outdoor catering events throughout Nigeria.
Moving onwards and in the continued
direction of success that the chain has achieved since it began there are extensive plans to
expand and progress the company.
Dolphin Restaurant aims to continue developing in the
future and providing the customer with a memorable dining experience with menu prices always at
an economic and acceptable level for valued customers.
They will also continue success
