In West Chester, there’s a new family-owned restaurant serving up authentic Jamaican food and good times.

David and Nicole Williams opened Yard Vybz Nyaminz Jamaican Restaurant on Cincinnati Columbus Road last October. David brings nearly 20 years of restaurant and hospitality experience with him to the business.

“This was a dream of mine for many years and a way to express my love of cooking and a means to share my passion with people,” David told CityBeat. “I chose West Chester to open my restaurant because it is a developing area and there is diversity here with different international cuisine. Also, there are not many Jamaican restaurants in this area and we believe the addition of a Jamaican restaurant to this already diverse population would be an asset.”

David says the authenticity of their food sets them apart from other Jamaican restaurants. On the menu, you’ll find classic Jamaican cuisine like jerk chicken, oxtail and plantains, as well as vegetarian and seafood options. They also offer catering services.

Apart from the food, David also says what sets them apart is their service. The restaurant is family-owned and operated, with David, Nicole and their son working tirelessly to provide good food and good vibes to the community, David says.

“We aim to provide a great Jamaican experience not just with our food, but also our decor gives you the feeling of relaxing on a beach in Jamaica, and that’s what we want our customers to experience from the moment they walk through the doors,” he said.

Yard Vybz Nyaminz is located at 9536 Cincinnati Columbus Road, Suite 20/23, in West Chester. They’re open seven days a week for lunch and dinner. More info: yardvybznyaminz.com.
