Three kitchens, one flavor

Wilcrest, 3rd Ward & Richmond

The Wilcrest bistro is the full experience — liquor bar, house drink recipes, a stage with live music and karaoke. Nyammings Express on Blodgett Street brings the same plates to 3rd Ward. Richmond Express is the quick-service sister out west: Supper Club Saturdays and Sunday Jazz.

Our story

The people's chef

Victor Allotey · Founder

Nyammings Fusion Bistro is the passion of former NFL player Victor Allotey — a man who went from protecting his teammates on the field to feeding the community that took him in.

He brings fresh ingredients together with Caribbean, Creole and Soul cooking techniques to produce a fusion of flavors that keeps people coming back for more. Nothing leaves the pass unless it tastes like home.

The bistro sits in the Briarcrest Shopping Center at Wilcrest & Briarforest in Houston, giving locals and visitors a place to eat, drink and hear live music on the property — a journey into the tastes and smells of the Caribbean. From the field to the kitchen, Victor has built Nyammings Fusion Bistro and the Empire State Group into names Houston recognizes.
