Jamaica Nyammingz Restaurant

This place came to me by way of a recommendation from a co-worker. He knew I was very particular about my Jamaican cuisine, and I have to say his assessment was on point. I was here in Killeen for business for a week, and in that time I had the Large oxtail plate for lunch and dinner 3 times. Every facet of the meal was authentically seasoned to perfection. There was no inconsistency with each and every plate I received, all were equally good, right down to the cabbage. With the price of oxtails per pound these days being so high, the portions were large and fairly priced. I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend it to all my fellow foodies.

Wow! Wow! Wow! I have never had such an AMAZING experience with Jamaican cuisine as I did today with Jamaica Nyammingz! Defintely worth every penny! This was my first time eating here and at first I was skeptical, I haven't found a place I like just yet. I drive by here every day and decide today is the day. THANK GOD and holy moly! The combination plates do not miss! They are stuffed with yummy goodness! All the meat was so tender and juicy, the plantains were made JUST RIGHT (hard to come by as everyone is different), the rice and peas were moist, as well as the steamed cabbage, not too crunchy. Whatever the sauce is made of, it's absolute perfection with the Jerk Pork. These oxtails?! This place is the go to for that! I did take out and had it delivered. Boy was the bag heavy lol I couldn't wait to dig in! Now, I did order Curry Goat, which I was so curious about, but got handed more Oxtail instead- that's okay. The owner (or manager) Alton, made it right! He apologized and told me he will make it up to me next time I visit and make sure I get Curry Goat. That was very generous of him. I will be visiting again! Next time I'll have to go in to check this atmosphere everyone talks about! Thank you guys, you just gave me a new place for my Jamaican Fix!

So, I was having a craving for some ox tails. I decided to place a phone order—I ordered the large ox tail plate with rice, cabbage, and plantains. The restaurant was clean and very inviting. They have a beautiful desert display. A variety of island drinks—I purchased two one pineapple and the other mango. Now to the main reason for the 5 stars—the serving size was definitely a large—I received 8-10 medium to large size oxtails. The rice and cabbage was delicious. Nothing needed any additional seasoning added. The plantains were the best I have ever had. I had to get on the phone and call my friends to tell them about my experience. The customer service was great too. Very respectful( saying thank you) and provided the service with a smile. I will definitely be back.

This was my first time here. My nephew recommended it, and I am happy I decided to give it a try. The oxtail plate was delicious. It was served with your choice of sides, so I got the yellow rice, fried plantain bananas, and cabbage. Everything was on point. I definitely will be back the next time I visit Killeen.

Real authentic down home food! Made with love!!! I enjoyed this place and the food so much..large portions, meat falls off the bone..and the spices had my mouth in a sensation of joy. The Mac and cheese tasted amazing..like something grandma would cook. This place didn't miss a beat and I drove from Houston TX to try it.....and I'm coming back again and again!

The owners were both welcoming. The curry goat was great. Loved the oxtail. I recommend the rum cake. That was my first visit. I enjoyed my experience so much that I went back the next day. By the way, I live more than an hour away.

First time in, ordered food to go. Came highly recommend and the food was very delicious. Large menu they have breakfast hours too, very authentic. Ordered Combination plate goat and oxtail rice and pea cabbage side plantain and mac&cheese small oxtail rice and pea with cabbage. I recommend ordering ahead waited 30ish min 🙌🏾🦋✨️

Favorite selection: Curry Goat I went with my dad. We ordered 2 small combination plates (jerk pork w/chicken and oxtail w/curry goat). Both plates came with rice and peas, fried sweet plantains, and steamed cabbage. We also ordered 2 slices of rum cake and 1 small size cup each of cucumber juice and pineapple ginger juice. Total meal cost: $71.38 My dad (who is puerto rican) really enjoyed the meal. This was a welcome surprise since he can be very picky, especially when it comes to food that isn't puerto rican. He especially enjoyed the jerk pork, saying that it was some of the best pork he ever had. I personally thought it was well seasoned but a bit dry. The chicken was well cooked and had a nice sauce, which paired well with the fried plantains and rice. The steamed cabbage was well seasoned and had a nice light crunch. The Oxtail was very flavourful and tender. The Curry Goat was delicious, one of the best cooked goat dishes I've ever had. The 2 drinks were very refreshing. We actually got to sample 3 of the fruit drinks offered, which was really nice. The rum cake had a soft texture with coconut flavor and cherries, a very nice dessert. We were also given extra sauce on the side for the curry goat and oxtail along with our order. I appreciate this since it showed the consideration the staff had for us as customers. Overall, both me, my dad as well as mom enjoyed the food, and I could definitely see myself coming back. Would recommend 😁👌

Ordered takeout : jerk chicken and Mac-n-cheese. I really enjoyed my food and had plenty for later! Definitely recommend them

I've been here several times before BUT it's been awhile. The food here is enough to feed two with a small plate and it is always served hot. Today I had the goat curry with beans and rice and cabbage. Sooo good yummy The customer service was amazing today. I apologize I did not get the young lady's name that helped me and my pregnant daughter today. BUT, she was attentive and welcoming. The restaurant is kept clean and the atmosphere is welcoming. There is plenty of parking on the parking lot too. The food and services is worth the price.

I wanted to love this place! I was excited when we drove up and saw a parking lot full of cars and alot of people on the inside patiently waiting on their food. The restaurant is decorated nicely. I did get the Irie vibes with reggae videos playing on the TV. My family is from Trinidad so I was excited to see Roti and Goat on the menu but they didn't have it so I settled for oxtails, peas & rice, cabbage with plaintain and my son had the same but with curry chicken. The food took a minute to come, but not too long. We figured it was due to the amount of people waiting and it was a Saturday. I don't mind waiting for good, fresh food. Food comes out and the first thing I noticed was that while my food looked delish...there was no smell of oxtail or any food, but it looked so damn good. No flavor. No seasoning. Oxtail had no taste. Peas & Rice were hard and no flavor Cabbage was steamed and thats it. It was only cabbage...no carrot, no seasoning, not even salt The pepper sauce and salt did not help any of it. So disappointed. I had called my Mom all excited to only let her know I can't bring her here.

Really good oxtail ! Food was all good fresh and quick , will be returning for certain.

This Jamaican Restaurant tastes like my mom's home cooking. My husband loves the jerk Chicken and the jerk pork, They have a drink. It's a pineapple and ginger, it's to die for. On Saturday, they serve Jamaican cornmeal porridge. Oh my goodness, it's so good.

I ordered this through GrubHub from Jamaica NyammingzIt did not disappoint at all. The meat is well seasoned. The white rice is over saturated with the gravy from the juice in the best way. I try to order a few time before making a review. I must admit I have had this 4 days in a row previously. Todays order was my final one before I decided to review. When eating oxtails I generally like hot sauce on them. I also have a preference for well seasoned over the sweet taste. These right here require no hot sauce or anything else. You don't have to be there to get a good plate as my first plate was a grub hub order too. I'm not in the business of telling people to go here Vs there. I have no ties to the food community. I will just tell you to try for yourself. This is my 8th time. Consistency is key. I haven't had a bad plate yet. Not pictured is a beef patty... let's just say it's demolished

Best oxtails and jerk chicken in this area. Nice atmosphere! My husband loves this place. It's a little pricey but it's worth it.

Delicious oxtail! The macaroni and cheese was on point!!! My husband loved the jerk chicken. We'll be back soon, maybe tomorrow.

The ox tails were so good! Actually, everything on the plate was amazing. Rice and peas, cabbage, and the plantains were all good as well. Don't sleep on the rum cake either! Really, you probably will sleep after the size of the plate and the rum cake. One of the best places I've found in Killeen period.

Driving up you its unmistakable this is a Jamaican restaurant. The staff was friendly so I was really excited when ordering. Took my curried goat and oxtail soup Togo. I tried both hoping for some flavor but have to say it was missing the zing.

Delicious food and quick delivery Love eating from this restaurant will definitely order again

The food was outstanding , the service was to be expect , just service. The surroundings was ok . A little dark and dingy

Yes, finally my wife and I get to go to a place where we can go and not worry about sour ass customer service and overpriced left-over chunks of food. Ava's was once our chosen place to go but no more. Very happy there are still people that enjoy just being alive and make others happy with their service.

Wow, I have tried several Oxtails in Killeen and this is by far the best! Tender and the flavor is just amazingly delicious. The rice and peas was also very good. The jerk chicken was a little dry but love the smoky taste to it. The fried plantains were sweet, just compliments the meal. I will be ordering again most definitely!

It was my first time visiting this place, but I'll definitely be back. Here's the aftermath.. I forgot to take pictures of the food. I ordered the curry chicken; and my husband ordered the jerk chicken plate. Our sides were rice and peas with cabbage. The food was so good I thought about licking the plate, but that would be unladylike. Lol

Food was amazing, the sauces for the rice & peas (beans) and the jerk chicken were fantastic! Service was great.

I think this place will always be outstanding.I hope they have ox tails on my next trip which will be soon.

Awesome food and friendly staff. The oxtail was the best I've ever had. A little pricey but it is what it is.

Everything is delicious but the chicken soup is Devine. I'm craving it right now. The portion are really good too. Definitely the best Caribbean spot in Killeen.

Favorite restaurant in Killeen, 20/10, never misses Would eat here everyday if I could

Food is delicious! The amount and quality are definitely superb! The goat was falling off the bones! The Coco bread was soft even after traveling home! So happy we found this place and will make this our Jamaican go to spot from here on out! Definitely worth the time and money spent!

Authentic Authentic Authentic!!! Being half Jamaican and from south Florida I've been eating Caribbean food all my life and this place is the best I've had in Central Texas/Killeen area. My goto dishes are oxtails, curry chicken, and jerk chicken! Ive eaten each of these dishes from here and they did not disappoint... for Each Main dish 9/10; sides- peas and rice10/10, cabbage8/10, plantain 8/10. (The reason for 8/10 for the sides I wish they gave a slightly bigger portion). Will return once a month

Best Jamaican food in town. Best flavor. Only gave 4 stars because the chicken is a tad dry. Oxtails are to die for.

Pleasant service and amazing cuisine! I live in Austin and there are no places like this around...only taco truck. This was a very satisfying experience.

The food is amazing! I had the oxtail, rice and peas, cabbage and plantains. Portions were very generous and the staff was very nice. I will be back!

They gave my 10 lb. order of oxtail to someone else. They need a checks and balances protocol for catering orders. Their food is good, however, I was highly disappointed to learn my catering order was given to someone else.

Delicious all around everything is juicy and has this Smokey flavor. The service was good. It was super busy which is a good thing. It's more on the expensive side but you pay for quality food. And they give a really good portion size. I would definitely recommend this place if you want really good Jamaican food.

Shitty service, tried to make a pick up order and the lady acted bothered and didnt want to do the job . Didn't even want the food after .

Jerk and Fried chicken platesto go and both are delicious. Restaurant atmosphere is nice...complaints at all!

Love this place. The portions are nice and the food tastes so good!! I love their pineapple ginger juice. I've been trying to replicate it but can't make it how they make it.
