What is the story behind your business' name?

Nyam means eat in Patios which is spoken in Jamaica. Additionally, when relaxing, cooking, catering, or popping up we often play family friendly music to set the atmosphere. So, put together, It's simple - we just want people to enjoy positive vibes while eating our food. Eat and Jam.... no worries, no pressure, no stress just nyam & jam!
