VFR rotue to EN inbound.

If you are coming in from the northeast.. either Kalkallo or Doncaster Shoppingtown.

Entry via Kalkallo can be a bit hit-&-miss as other have suggested depending on runway in use at ML. 1500 from Kalkallo to EN also can be a bit bumpy if theres any wind (also at fairly low altitude over urban area.. not my preferred place to be personally). Kalkallo would be the most direct entry point if you are coming in via kilmore gap due to low cloud base, however.

I'd suggest planning from ELW (assuming you are coming in via that direction) to DSN (Doncaster Shoppingtown). Or direct with radar vectors... but have the former as a plan in case vectors not avail.
