My wife and I wanted to find a new restaurant to try and we came across a gem of a place that just may be one of the counties best kept secrets.It's called Josh's Kitchen. It's location is a bit tricky to find, as it is located inside the Parkside Tavern, in Pearl River, NY. So when your GPS places you in front of the Parkside Tavern, you're in the right place, just know that the restaurant is inside.Now for the good part: While browsing through the menu we were treated to a free sample appetizer, it was a plantain Tostone with tender pulled pork and a delicious homemade garlic mango sauce on top. What a pleasant surprise.We were then treated to a nice bowl of soup, that consisted of chicken...
What an amazing meal that was!! Six of us made a party and arrived not expecting too much. Josh's Kitchen operated from the inside of a tavern, and a band in Grateful Dead T-shirts was getting ready. So, we asked for Josh's for recommendations and ordered up a bunch of appetizers and a large main platter. The guacamole and chips came first, and on the first bite, all of us went WOW. Even though I am not a big fan of guacamole, I couldn't help but keep dipping in. It was obviously freshly made just that minute, and had the right level of spice, sour, salt, sweet, and spice... and chunks of avocado.Then the Pulled Pork Tostones came out, and we all went WOW!! And again for the chicken empanada...
Full disclaimer: this was a Doordash delivery. This may be better in house.I am under the impression this is a ghost kitchen. I 've eaten from some ghost kitchens that serve some tasty food. This one has some work to do.I tried the Salchipapa supreme, which is a street food of cheese, franks/hotdogs, and fries. It was fine. The fries seemed like frozen fries. But this dish does have potential. It may have been affected by delivery.I tried the empanadas. The chicken seemed stringy and unseasoned, but the crust was done well, and was hot and crispy. So again, maybe there is potential.The main dish I tried was the carne asada. While I was not expecting a prime cut of beef, this was chewy and fu...
Josh's kitchen is inside Parkside Tavern. They're the kitchen for the bar and you pay separate for food at Josh's kitchen; order n pay drinks at Parkside Tavern. There was a live band when we came on Sunday evening. They were ok. We were stopped at the door and was told there was a cover charge $10- probably for the band. We said we're here to order at Josh's kitchen then it was ok to come in. I think the bar should pay the band for playing and not expect customers to pay cover charge. This wasn't a concert venue! Neither were they a famous band. Will I return to Josh's kitchen? Only for takeout or better yet, Uber eats or grubhub. 4 stars for the food- lost a star due to location. Hope they...

Even through delivery, enjoying this decadent Bandeja Paisa meal feels like a luxurious experience. It’s absolutely delicious! I highly recommend it and can't wait to try more items from the menu in the future. I haven’t visited in person yet, but it sounds like a fantastic hidden gem worth exploring. In the meantime, I have a feeling this one dish will provide me with multiple meals, haha!
I had dinner last night at Josh's Kitchen. It's inside the Parkside Tavern. I only had 3 appetizers, Guacamole, Coconut shrimp and Chicken tacos. They were all very good. They have dinner entrees and platters that are Spanish style, but I didn't try them ,next time. Josh is personable, friendly and accommodating. If you're in Pearl River give it a try.
We just had food delivered and it was absolutely incredible! The chef is amazing! This is the best meal I've had in a long time. The chicken tacos and empanadas were outstanding—definitely a highlight! My mango smoothie was perfect, and the churros were absolutely delicious! I'm so glad I discovered this place!
Everything was fresh and delicious! The service was friendly, and it's situated inside Parkside Tavern, which means you can enjoy great drinks and play pool or darts for a complete night out. I highly recommend trying their food!
