Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: Josh's Grill positions itself as a step above casual dining chains like Astons, and we find that it generally delivers on that promise, though not without some inconsistencies.

The grilled chicken and salmon dishes are frequently highlighted for being moist and well-prepared, with the Prawn Aglio-olio and Chicken Truffle Creamy Pasta also receiving positive mentions.

However, some dishes, like the mushroom soup and mac and cheese, appear to suffer from a lack of flavour or poor execution, suggesting a variability in kitchen standards.

Sides like Brussels sprouts and corn are generally well-received, but the quality of fries can be inconsistent.

Service often gets positive remarks for attentiveness and speed, though some experiences point to inflexibility.

We note the charge for iced water, which is a point of contention for some diners.

Overall, Josh's Grill seems to be a reliable option for grilled mains and certain pasta dishes, but it's not a destination for culinary innovation.

Best for a casual meal when you're in the area and looking for something slightly elevated from typical food court fare.

What customers say

Josh's Grill at Novena receives mixed reviews, with some customers praising specific dishes like the Prawn Aglio-aglio, chicken truffle creamy pasta, and beef, alongside well-prepared brussels sprouts and corn.

However, significant concerns are raised about the quality of other dishes, including a lack of mushroom taste in the soup, rubbery aglio olio noodles, overcooked onion rings, undercooked mac and cheese, and dry seabass.

Service is generally described as prompt and attentive by some, while others note inflexibility and average customer service, with a recurring complaint about chargeable iced water.

Josh's Grill, I’d say slightly tastier than the likes Astons and XW, but also at a slightly higher price point. The chicken chop was grilled well, juicy and moist, though the sauces didn’t really do m…

The place is fine and the atmosphere fits the grill concept. Food is average. The spicy chicken grill came with grilled chicken and Chilly by the side. This is ridiculous. The Salmon meat was very go…
