I visited Nyammins Kitchen and Grill earlier today for lunch. As soon as I opened the door to the…read morerestaurant I was hit with mouthwatering aromas. The staff recommended the Curry Goat so that's what I ordered with sides of Collard Greens and Sweet Plantains. The restaurant has no dining space and does to go orders only. So all the food was piled in a massive to go container. This could have fed two people easily. The Goat was tender, gamey, and was covered in a flavorful lightly spicy curry sauce. The meat sat on a bed of soft savory rice that soaked up the escaping flavors. The Collard Greens were juicy, tender and lightly sweet. The plantains were soft and sweet. Overall, Nyammins is a great option for a quality filling lunch.

This restaurant is take-out only, located heading to North Lakeland, about one block off of the…read moremain highway. Looks a bit sketchy outside, but I've never had an issue with service or the area. Their food tastes great. I've ordered the oxtails, curry chicken and Mac and cheese (served only on Fridays). It's the only Jamaican restaurant that I know of in the area. Meals range from $10-18. Sides are cheaper. Lots of locals come here, and they just walk straight to the front of the line and yell out their order. They need some organization in this manner, but it is a bit of a 'hole in the wall.' I recommend this restaurant if you're craving this particular cuisine, you want to just grab and go, and you're looking for reasonable prices.

The sides were expertly prepared and the black beans were extremely flavorful. If it weren't for the pork being on the dry side, this would have been a 5 star review from me, which I rarely give. I am looking forward to returning to see if I can revisit my review and add that star.

We had traveled to Jamaican in the last two years and enjoy the food so we're always looking to see if there's a spot we can try BNG had good reviews so we stopped in this little unassuming spot in a strip mall to Joy, some curry and beef patties. The curry was excellent, we both enjoyed it and would definitely stop here again maybe for takeout or just sit down for a quick lunch again.

I love a good oxtail but was this dish was underwhelming. 90% of the oxtail were large bones and inedible fatty pieces. The few pieces of meat that were on the plate were tender but the thick sauce marinating the dish lacked much flavor. The sides had a nice texture but also struggled with flavor. I spent over $20 for a "large" portion which was expensive for the amount of food I actually got. Overall, the food is edible but lacks much flavor and is pricey for what you get.

It's beautiful and the cuisine is authentic as well as flavorful, and they give warm comforting piece of Cuban bread before the meal with fresh butter. Thank me later.

It started off great as they brought out some soup samples and they Had some great choices on the menu, Food was ok, but was NOT worth the 2 hours we had to wait, there weren't many people there but I believe they were also low on the cooks. I wish the meats had more layers of flavors. The food just was lacking for me. Maybe it was an off day as I have only been here this one time, but it wasn't worth it for me to come back and try again unfortunately The ambiance was ok as well as the service! Our server was very sweet and tried to help as much as possible which was definitely appreciated! Everything overall was ok. Wish the best
