Schnitzel Heaven in City of London, Westminster

Just back to our hotel near Trafalgar Square from the wonderful Schnitzel Heaven up in Hackney (about 2.6 miles away). It was farther afield than most of our restaurants, but would have been worth a much longer detour. My wife had a fried mozzarella appetizer--delicious, in a spicy cranberry-based sauce (that put the usual fried cheese with marinara in the shade)--followed by a chicken schnitzel with a side of beautiful, chunky French fries. My Weiner schnitzel, which came with two condiments and a spicy potato salad, was superb. We were both delighted with the fare, which equaled or surpassed what we expected from all the five-star reviews. In addition, service was warm and attentive, highlighted by a friendly reception and check-ins from the ebullient proprietor. The place is small, informal, and obviously very popular with locals, as evidenced by the steady stream of bicycle delivery people taking off with insulated saddlebags and backpacks full of take-out orders. As noted in reviews, the thinly-pressed schnitzels are not only perfectly prepared but huge, barely contained by the large plates on which they are served. My only regret was having no room whatsoever to sample the apple strudel. Prices are almost outrageously reasonable, so quality and value both hit the top of the scale. We could not recommend this place more highly!

Came with friends for lunch and we were not disappointed. Shnitzel was so thin and large and tasted amazing. Hubby said it was a bit too dry for him but said was the best shnitzel he has had in the UK. It does not come with any sides. These have to be ordered separately. Shnitzel was from £16.95, sides circa £5, desserts from £7.50 so by no means a cheap meal...3 diet cokes, one black coffee and one German beer came to an extra £20. I would have preferred if a side was included. I ordered a Greek salad 🥗 as my side and at £6.50/£7.50 expected a delish salad of tomatoes 🍅 cucumber 🥒 olive 🫒 feta red onion and dressing but rather received a small bowl of peppers chopped up onion and olives sliced in halves, a few pieces of chopped cucumber no tomatoes...spoke to management and said I was disappointed with the salad and was told his customers wanted it this way...what more could I say.

The schnitzels (and service) were good. The restaurant was well maintained and clean. The wagyu hamburger was terrible. It was overcooked and seemed like a supermarket refrigerated product. They should do better!

Everything was perfect. I definitely recommend it.Food, drinks and service were excellent.We will come again as soon as possible to try other flavors.

Super Gastgeber, Schnitzel sind wirklich geile Variationen. Sehr lecker … nur zu empfehlen bei einem Besuch in London … Geheimtipp 😉

My wife makes a mean schnitzel and it was her Birthday. So five of us went down to check it out . The Manager was friendly and engaging. The food was absolutely superb. The portions are huge and the Schnitzel as good as I have tasted With a vast selection of sauces and side dishes to accompany it. If you like Schnitzel it’s a must visit.

Finally got here with my son. We booked a couple of weeks ago. We ordered 2 weiner schnitzels and a treble which was veal, chicken and pork for my son. We also ordered a portion of chips and potatoes in a tomato sauce. Even my son couldn't finish so we took home. Staff very helpful

Sehr freundliche Bedienung und Inhaber. Schneller Service, gutes Essen in sehr großen Portionen. Wunderbare Erfahrung.

I came with an ex-work friend for lunch yesterday. The restaurant was quite quiet but at least the sun was shining! The wienerschnitzel was almost as good as the one my mother used to make (but she was from Vienna!) Similarly the apfel strudel I had for dessert. My friend said his chicken schnitzel was also delicious and so was the mashed potato. The wine list is short but adequate, but why are there no Austrian wines? Portions are enormous, I could not finish my main course. The waiting staff are knowledgeable and friendly and the owner came over and chatted. Prices are very reasonable considering this is so close to the City. We will most definitely be coming back.

Un accueil très chaleureux et sympathique et un repas très bon. Très voir trop copieux mais les Schnitzel sont très bonnes et les versions signatures sont top. À faire sans aucune hésitation
