I've visited the Snellville location in the past. I was very excited to know that they were opening a location within 10 minutes of my house. I went this past Friday night for dinner. Upon arrival we were pleasantly greeted and seated within two minutes. We opted to sit on the side where the music was playing. The DJ Chip Lee was absolutely amazing. He's not just a DJ. He is a full on performer. We have so much fun, listening to reggae, Soca and dance hall music. I ordered the fried shrimp for an appetizer and the sauce that they tossed it in was absolutely delicious. For my entrée, I ordered the oxtail Rasta pasta and it was delicious. I just wish that I had ordered another protein to include in it because when I asked once my food got to the table, I was not able to just add a protein because they don't do side orders of protein and I would be charged for another meal entirely. However, the portion size is really good and I was able to take some home. read more

Let me start by saying the food was great! That is why I gave 4 stars. As I'm writing this it has been at least 20 minutes since we ordered our second drinks. I'm really trying not to take away another star, but... It took a while for us to get our food. How is there just 1 bartender on a Friday night? Maybe there was just 1 cook also tonight. I like the atmosphere and we danced and had a good time. We were celebrating birthdays so I will let the slow service slide this time. My drink finally came while I was writing this review. The lychee martini was all that! Let's work on the service Escovitchez!!! I live here in Tucker and want to spread the word about y'all!!! read more

The ambience is beautiful here. They're located in Northlake mall and plenty of free parking is available. I sat at the bar and was greeted promptly. I've heard great things about the rum punch, so I started off with one. It was very good. I also got the blow wow shrimp for an appetizer. The portion was small and the shrimp were a bit overcooked, but the flavor was nice. For my entree, I ordered the oxtail with rice and peas. The flavor of the oxtail was good, but the pieces were so small and difficult to eat. The rice was undercooked as well. To end my evening, I finished with the Rita Marley cocktail. It was strong, but really sweet. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience here. The ladies at the bar provided phenomenal service. I wa a bit underwhelmed by the food, but I would return to try something different. read more

I ordered the salmon Rasta pasta via online order, small lunch portion for $25. I arrived at Northlake mall near the Food Court, however the restaurant is located outside of the mall near Footlocker and Dugan's. The restaurant seems nice for dining in. The health score is 100. There was a woman sitting at the host stand, she didn't offer much assistance but a server quickly jumped in to check the status of my meal. I arrived exactly at the time I was supposed to for pickup and ate my meal shortly after. The food was warm, I fully expected it to be hot. The flavor of the sauce was pretty good, but the salmon lacked seasoning; so, I had to make sure to eat the salmon with the sauce. It was worth a try. Good portion; just needed a bit more seasoning and spice. read more

Woah woah woah. This place is IT. I visited this place with a few of my girlfriends for to celebrate one of our girls' birthdays and I'm so glad that we did. Located outside of Northlake Mall, Escovitchez is a fairly new Jamaican restaurant and is the second location of the brand. When you walk into the restaurant, the interior will really blow you away. Cloaked in rich velvets, deep emerald colors and Caribbean art, this place is reallyyyy beautiful. The bar is one of the first things you see when you enter and it's a fabulous first impression. We visited on a Saturday early evening before the night really kicked off. It took a few minutes to get seated but once we were, the night was seamless. We had Tamia as our waitress and she was truly phenomenal! I started with a guava margarita and it was delicious and strong - two great combos when it comes to a night out. We opted for the jerk chicken plantain nachos and salt fish & ackee spring rolls for starters to share at the table. Both were SO good!! The nachos were superrr cheesy, including big, juicy plantains at the bottom and the flavors blended well. The spring rolls were really an incredible surprise. I grew up eating salt fish & ackee, but the combo inside of the spring roll paired with sweet chili sauce was bananas. For dinner, I couldn't pass up the snapper. The snapper is available in two different sizes and about 5 different ways. I decided to go for a small snapper, escovitch style with rice & peas. Let me tell you.. that snapper was GREAT! The fish was beautifully prepared, the veggies were perfectly pickled and full of flavor. I wish I could have one of those weekly!! This was seriously an incredible experience that has me dying to return. So worth a visit! read more

This was my second time at this location and they did not disappoint AGAIN. I came on a Friday and sat at the bar and it wasn't busy. There was a DJ playing Caribbean music and Afrobeats and I'm told he's there every Friday and Sunday. Definitely enjoyed the vibes. I ordered a lychee martini and wasn't sure if I wanted vodka so the bartender made it with tequila. Delicious. Both bartender's are such a vibe. I had the shrimp Rasta pasta which I got the last time so I knew it would be good. It's probably my go-to here but I can't wait to try other items in the menu. This is definitely a great place to vibe either at the. Bar for a date or dinner with friends and family. read more

Regardless of which location, you will experience the same beautiful ambiance, elevated dining, good vibes, STELLAR customer service, and the food is exceptional. This location is in the north dekalb mall next to dugan's. Parking is plentiful. Come in and spend awhile. I can't say enough about this brand of restaurants. I know this location will bring back life to this mall. I have to touch on the food again. I will argue with no one. They make the best Rasta pasta. The sauce is consistent. Not runny. Jerk seasoning is respective of the culture. So many times authentic recipes adjust to the environment. But they make their Rasta pasta right for native Jamaicans, Jamericans, expats, or lovers of the culture. And honestly who was doing ackee and salt fish egg rolls before them. The warm coco bread is an entire slap! The owners know what they are doing. Most times I come in, I will see either of them on the floor or at the hostess area. This is service and hospitality at its finest. Support and bring a friend. read more

This was my first time trying this location. I would definitely recommend. The location is beautiful and big. Staff was great and food was very good. I will say however that service at times was a bit slow for it not being too packed. I had a classic margarita for a drink and the curry goat for my meal. Having been to the other location I was a little disappointed at how dry the complimentary bread was, but I can appreciate getting complimentary bread as not all places actually do that. But my curry was great and I enjoyed my drink. Tamia, our waitress, was very sweet and the manager or owner stopper briefly by the table to make sure we were ok which I also appreciated. My mom ordered the coconut water which was advertised as "authentic coconut water" but it wasn't. Overall, I would definitely go back and can't wait to try some more things! read more

Escovitchez at Northlake was really nice. We dined here last night and enjoyed delicious food, a beautiful atmosphere, and wonderful service. The portions were good and the prices were very reasonable. We've been to the Snellville location a few times and are so excited to now have one closer to us. We are excited to return! read more

Good food, good drinks, good music, and lovely decor. I came here on a Friday evening and sat at the bar near the dance floor. They had a dj playing some good tunes and I almost got up from my seat to dance with the other locals! They had plenty of large tv's to watch NBA and NFL games on. I ordered the salmon with guava sauce, broccoli, and rice & peas. I must have misread the menu because I thought it came with potatoes, but the waitress said it's rice and peas OR potatoes. So make sure you get clarity on the menu. The guava sauce wasn't very good so I ate the salmon without it. Everything else was very tasty even though the rice and peas were a bit dry. The servers were all friendly but it was kind of hard to communicate over the music. I might sit at the other bar near the entrance next time to prevent shouting over the tunes. Anyway, I definitely intend to come back! read more

I came here for a birthday celebration. They open at 5pm and our reservation was at 5pm so we had all of the attention that afternoon. We were served complimentary bread, similar to a coco bread that was hot and tasty. My favorite items that afternoon was the blow wow shrimp and the Jerk Chicken Plantain Nachos. I don't like plantain but I was pleasantly surprised by the plantain chips instead of plantain. The space is large and well decorated. There was a Dj playing nice old school reggae music. Even with the music we could still enjoy the conversation at our table. It's a nice hang out spot and I'm excited to visit again! read more

Delicious Jamaican Cuisine in a new beautiful restaurant. Take Out lunch specials for 1/2 portions. Kind staff. We were served by Allyson. Allyson was attentive to our lunch party. The restaurant has a stage and is able to accommodate larger parties. Two full bars and plenty of seating. I would definitely recommend. Especially since they are open for lunch!! I was so happy to see that. The food was well priced for the portions. Very flavorful and if you like spicy or savory flavors, there is something on the menu for you. read more

The food is authentic Caribbean food with exquisite service and the live music on certain days. This place is absolutely amazing

I absolutely enjoyed dining at this new restaurant. I was very impressed with the layout and decor of the restaurant. As Trinidadian, it can be hit or miss with Caribbean restaurants, especially in the south. My oxtail entree was delectable, that gravy was so tasty. The vegetables provided the right notes of sweetness. Not all Jamaican restaurants are created equally and most tend to water down the essence of the food to cater to the palates of others. Escovitchez, THANK YOU for sticking to the formula of Caribbean cuisine. I especially appreciate them having real pepper sauce and not Texas Pete or any other non-Caribbean hot sauce. I also enjoyed the music of the live Reggae DJ. read more

Escovitchez is a Jamaican/ Caribbean restaurant that nails the trifecta: incredible food, chill vibes, and an atmosphere that feels like a warm invitation. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance set the tone for a memorable evening. The decor was understated yet sophisticated--clean lines, thoughtful lighting, and an elegance that didn't try too hard. It allowed the real star to shine: the food. The service tied everything together. Our waitress was warm and attentive, checking in just the right amount to keep things flowing. She answered all our questions and gave helpful recommendations, though she seemed slightly annoyed for a moment--just a flicker, and nothing that dimmed her overall pleasant demeanor. Her consistency and care made the evening feel thoughtfully curated. The menu? Absolutely worth savoring. We had the curry goat and escovitch fish, and both were standouts. The goat was slow-cooked and unbelievably tender, with rich seasoning that hit all the right notes. The escovitch fish brought bold Caribbean flavor--crispy perfection topped with a sauce that was tangy, vibrant, and deeply satisfying. It didn't just complement the fish--it stole the show. As the night unfolded, the vibes only got better. Around 8 PM, the VJ took over with a phenomenal playlist that transformed the energy of the room. Smooth transitions, perfectly timed beats--suddenly, dinner had a soundtrack. It added life without overpowering conversation, making it a perfect backdrop for both mingling and moments of reflection. Sorry I am not the picture taking guru, but I hope this helps! read more

Th food was absolutely delicious. Unfortunately the waitress did get my husbands order wrong but nonetheless we enjoyed our time there . The ambiance is so beautiful and made us feel like we had visited Jamaica once again . read more

I try the new spot in my neighborhood. Keep in mind that I was dining alone at the bar. Ordered the jerk wings in which were very good. However, you only get 4 appetizer wings per serving for 9 dollars. No drinks were ordered during this visit. Service is OK. Decided to ask for my bill and noticed a 20% automatically added gratuity just to dine alone at the bar. Just keep that in mind when ordering, because I surely will not return. read more

Restaurant decor and servers were elegant and so attentive. i ordered the brown chicken stew with rice and peas. it was very flavorful. my friend ordered the goat curry with steamed rice. she said it was tasty but a lot of the bites were bones as opposed yo goat meat....but still good. her hubby ordered the chicken and waffles and wasn't too wowed by the portion size or the cut of chicken. that may not be their strong suit on the menu. read more

The food and staff are amazing! The flavor profile is unmatched to anything I've tasted before. They never miss, on Thursday's. There is comedy night starting at 8 and on the weekends there is always a live DJ! You can dance sing and really enjoy yourself. read more

New location, new building, great food service. Big and better. Food still taste the same. Fresh and tasty. I had the oxtails.

Appetizers I ordered were tasty- the jerk wings and the cauliflower. The drinks were great and so was the service, our waiter was very polite and friendly. The ambiance was one of a kind, liked the vibe and the music. I will definitely try again for the food, drinks and ambiance.,ambience ... and ambiance read more

I came in and was seated at the bar (afternoon, lunch time). I ordered an entree and juice, no alcohol. It wasn't very busy. The server seemed nice when I sat. She was speaking to another lady that was seated the bar as if they were familiar. I sat, she handed me a menu. I sat for a little longer and she walked back over and asked if I had questions. I stated that I'd like to order if that's ok. The food took a little longer than I expected. No problem. It wasn't hot...no problem. Another small group of 4 comes in and also sit at the bar. The server begins to help them. By now my drink is watered down, mostly ice. I noticed that she has spoken to the other guests around me quite a few times and not once did she ask if I'd like anything else to drink, water, if the food is ok...nothing. I wanted to order a couple more entrees to go, but since she never approached I decided to just pay for what I ordered and leave. When I did finally get her attention to ask for my check and a to go box, she looked at me as if I was a bother. I look at the receipt and noticed a 20% gratuity had been added. I immediately scratched off the additional/unintentional tip I had written in. I was caught off guard when I saw the added gratuity. What ticks me off the most is that the particular young lady that was my server wasn't it...her service was just bad. I won't be returning. read more
