I had the Brown Stwed Chicken, rice and peas, collard greens and Mac and cheese. I can't even find the right adjectives to describe how good this food is.

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.

This is a clean, calming and inviting little restaurant. My server was on the spot, polite and…read morehelpful. The croquettes were perfectly crisp on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside. The "hot sauce" that they brought with them was just the right mix of flavor and heat. My Masas de Cerdo Fritas, with white rice and black beans, although a little on the dry side was tender and flavorful and beautifully presented. 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.
