    So happy I discovered this place. Delicious Jamaican food made in the store and super friendly people. The large plates are easily 2 meals. Most people do take out but there are tables too.

    My experience at Nyamsum was great. The service is amazing, they are very polite. The portions are good and the jerk chicken and oxtails are amazing. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes Jamaican food or would like to try Jamaican food for the first time.

    Second time here, and the food was amazing both times. We ordered takeout on each visit, though we hope to dine in someday and enjoy the atmosphere as well. The staff was very helpful in explaining what came with the meals and the portion sizes, and we were greeted with a smile when we arrived and when we left. You’ll definitely see us again—thank you so much!
