    Oxtail with rice & peas and cabbage
    Angelica D.

    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.

    Brown stew chicken 10-10

    Well I have been to this restaurant in Snellville it was a pleasure. When I see it opens men's up by my work place I was happy happy. We decide to go in for lunch . First off the the rating was 100 from the state. The restaurant is absolutely beautifully decorated and very spacious. They have Comedy night last and a little stage and room to dance . Nice lounge areas. We were fretted when we came in and we were seated promptly. Folks weee attentive. Now the food OMG 10/10. Mac and cheese creamy nice crust total bomb. Shrimp and oxtail fried rice with oxtail on top. Stew chicken marinated and bone off tender. Vegetables seasoned well. Rum cake bomb. We didn't have alcohol but a couple Leaving said the bob marley had him right. This is top tier fine dining Jamaican style.

    Salmon Rasta Pasta
    Camille C.

    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.

    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!

    Beautiful decor

    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.

    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.

    I order my food to go and I was greeted promptly by a server upon entering the establishment. The food came right out and it was fresh but lacked so much seasoning. The red beans and rice and the cabbage were the worst I have ever had. The vibe in the restaurant seemed so nice and perfect for a date night. How ever after spending $100+ on the food it was truly disappointing. I almost want to take the food back and have the chef taste it.

    Salmon, broccoli, rice and peas
    LaShonda H.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    This place is really a vibe! This is their second location, the first being in Snellville. It's a Jamaica restaurant & the servers are nice and fast, and the food is great with large portions. I got the shrimp and oxtail friend rice to go and the plate was so big. The food is flavorful and the drinks are really good too, especially the rum punch. 10/10

    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.

    The Bob Marley "No Return"
    V T.

    The food was very good. The salmon was very flavorful. My drink, the Bob Marley, was excellent. They only needed to work on speed of service.

    Jerk chik and stew chik very good. Didn't care for the bammy sort of dry and tasteless.

    Wondering if there's a automatic 20% gratuity on all checks at this restaurant.?

    Automatic 20% on all parties of 6 or more. Side note: they will do separate checks.

    Is there a 20% automatic gratuity fee applied to the check?

    I sat at the bar, solo, and they applied 20% gratuity to my check. I'm assuming so.

    The food is great, the drinks are great, but I'm here to shout out the service. THANK YOU MONTE!!…read moreMonte was absolutely swamped with tables but he still gave us phenomenal service. Personal, funny, perfect menu recommendations! Our group felt truly taken care of by him. I'm definitely going back (I love Marlow's) but I'm always asking to be sat in Monte's section from here on out

    Went here for happy hour which is a fantastic deal, the service I received knocked off a star…read more Their happy hour is from 4-6 Monday-Friday. It's been a few years since I've dined at Marlow's, but their HH deals brought me in. I sat at the bar, and maybe they were in the middle of a shift change bc it took a while to get greeted and service throughout my experience was slow. I had to wave them down, ask for refills instead of the bartender being diligent. The bar was full, but at one point I saw one of the bartenders texting, so they had time to check on guests. I'm also in the service industry , so I may notice these things more than the average person. Anyways, their happy hour is one of the best I've come across. $5 margs & $6 old fashions to highlight a few items. I love a happy hour with food AND drinks. The food here is still as solid as I remember. I had the kettle chips and wings. Wings were not sauced, but very crispy and came with dipping sauce on the side. The chips were hella good! Crispy and the toppings were great. I had those two appetizers, 3 margs and a creme brûlée for under $40! That's a win, this will be one of my go-to spots for sure.
