Universal Restaurant (Lygon St, Carlton)

Huge chicken parma. A value for money joint.

At the suggestion of my dinner partner, we headed down to Universal along Lygon Street. There was a short queue, but it moved pretty fast, and we were soon ushered into the restaurant within 15 minutes.

What caught my attention was this brown statue which I thought was St Clare, and after enquiring turns out to be that of Mary.

My dining partner and I order a Chicken Parmigiana and a small Meat Lovers pizza to share between the both of us.

The pizza wasn’t fantastic. It was dry. The only saving grace would be the amount of processed meat slapped onto the pizza.

The size of the chicken was a bit of a nice surprise. It was my first time eating chicken parma in Australia. It was crispy. The meat was still tender and wasn’t dry, but it somehow lacked juice. I probably enjoyed the beer battered chips more.

Based on these two dishes which came to about 26 or 27 for two, Universal is one of those value-for-money places where you could enjoy a hearty meal without bursting one’s wallet.
