Budget Friendly Lunch

While they offer a range of premium cuts such as Wagyu steak, we went for more budget-friendly options: a Fried Chicken Chop ($13.90) and a Pan-Fried Dory ($14.90). Each mains would be served with a choice of 2 side dishes. There was quite a good range of sides, both hot and cold, to choose from.

We enjoyed the nostalgic touch of soft buns with butter served before the arrival of the mains, reminiscent of old-school eateries like The Ship or Jack’s Place.

The chicken chop was delectable. It had a crispy, golden-brown outer layer with tender, juicy meat inside. The side dishes complemented the chicken well. There was a pleasing combination of textures and flavours. The portion size was quite generous.

The pan-fried dory fish was also a delightful dish. The fish fillet was cooked to perfection, with a slightly crispy outer layer and a tender, flaky inside. The accompanying side of baked potato was fluffy and buttery, while the corn was sweet and crunchy. It was a satisfying and well-balanced meal.

We also had coffee ($3.90) with our meal. It was served with a sugar cube, something rarely seen in restaurants today.

Satisfying Meal, Happy Wallet

Overall, our lunch at Josh’s Grill Novena was a pleasant experience. The portions were generous, and the food exceeded our expectations for a casual diner at that price point. Josh’s Grill is a good place to enjoy affordable, tasty Western food in a comfortable setting.
