About Us

Dolphin Restaurant is an African Restaurant and bar in Enugu and Asaba. We have been serving our valued customers for more than 46 years now. Initially, we started our restaurant services under the name of Madam Volvo.

Our restaurant is a perfect place for lunch, dinner, or for having any kind of party. Our principles are to combine the highest quality and authentic African food with excellent customer service at great value for money, all served in a comfortable ambience.

Dolphin Restaurant is our 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, Enugu. 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 our valued customers.

We promise to: “Provide a variety of fresh, healthy and nutritious dishes at affordable prices in truly comfortable and relaxing surroundings, always to the total satisfaction of all valued customers.
