pin leeJuly 29, 2018Chicken schnitzel at $14 is huge - enough for 2 pax. Seafood Pasta marinara (entree is enough. But can order main portion if big eater) is good 2. These 2 dishes can be shared by 3 paxUpvoted Aug 15
Universal has some of Melbourne's biggest, cheapest and best Italian dishes you can find. It's by far the best value for money place I have found that puts a smile on my face everytime!
Eirini KfFebruary 16, 2016we dinned here tonight &ws delightful!food,taste portion wise w were more than satisfied.the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. highly recommend it.great job t everyone.value for money.go snitzel&parm- Really big serving portion. Especially if you're Asian, that is one huge portion. Share with friends, it makes the bill cheaper & you get to try more food.
Bessie LinMarch 4, 2013Food comes out quickly during lunch time ! Largest quantities are best for sharing. Get the chicken schnitzel OMG it's massive and filling :D wear loose clothing hahaha :)
Stan HunterSeptember 3, 2017Food is really good in a straight up sort of way. Be prepared for gargantuan serves. One plate easily enough for two to share.- Yohan Gabriel LiutamaDecember 4, 2016Great pizza and chicken parma to share with friends. Large portion - beware!
Dustin LeeJanuary 7, 2017Chicken parma portion is outrageous, especially at the $14 price point. Freshly fried too.
Wong LoiDecember 26, 2011The food is delicious! Love this place! If I go North Melbourne, I will go again! Never regret! Yea..!
Ameera ShaharySeptember 4, 2014Non halal but prolly can try the Marinara Pizza, a seafood based pizza..
Liam DensleyJanuary 14, 2017Terrible experience.. steak is average for a $40 price point, salads are sickening sweet, and the tomato based pasta sauce was also too sweet for a savoury dish. Drink prices is only positive.
Charlotte LamJanuary 30, 2011$14 chicken Parma with crispy fat chips- so delicious!! Fabulous value & service was good too.
Lucas VaughanNovember 5, 2010Food wasn't bad but they brought out 3 of our meals first then the other 3 half an hour later and blamed it on 'the computer'
