Ordered Ze Wilde Bocke Roll. It's Bockwurst, Currysauce, Crispy Onions, Mayo, and Fries. This is a close approximation of the currywurst you'd find in Berlin. I found the roll to be overpowering and to dominate the mouthfeel of this dish. The sausage was good, not great. The fries ("chips") were steakhouse style, which is the German style, but in my opinion to thick for a sandwich already dominated by it's plain white roll. The sausage was well-executed. Not particularly flavorful or interesting. The roll relies heavily on its toppings, which are good but not great. It's hard to go too wrong with curry, mayo, and onion crisps. This place is very hyped-up online. While it's pretty good, It didn't live up to it's reputation in my opinion. read more

Herman Ze German - Ze Wilde Bock Roll - Hot Dogs Near Me - London, XGL

"Our Wurst is ze Best" Herman Ze German is probably the closest thing in London you'll find to Berlin street food. Sausages, schnitzels, and beer. I opted for the guest wurst, their daily special, made from smoky pork & beef with cheese. Quite comparable to the ones I had in Germany! The house salad came with cucumbers, sliced apples, and a vinaigrette sauce. read more

Extremely good food. A 4 hour American pop-up in London had me craving burgers, but not enough to stand in line for them. So I headed to the new branch of a local burger & chicken chain, which had a 50% off on food and hence also had a queue of about 40 waiting to be seated. This was when I realised, Fitzrovia is not a great place to be hunting for a quick sit down lunch on a weekday afternoon. There are plenty of options, but they are all overflowing. I quickly scrolled through my bookmarks & saw that Herman Ze German was around the corner and had larger seating space (2 floors) This was a great call as a lot of people also were taking their hot dogs away. So there was a queue, but it was moving very quickly and there was seating space. When I saw the burger schnitzel on the menu, I knew I had to have it, but I also wanted to try their famed wurst. The menu has changed a bit from some of the pictures here on yelp. You don't get a form to fill up. You order and pay at the counter from an overhead menu and if you want to eat in, they give you a number and deliver the food to your table. Food combinations have also changed. The pork / chicken schnitzel burger came with fries or salad, so fries it was. (If indulging in carbs, go the whole hog). I chose the pork and bacon option and it was absolutely amazing. I also chose the chilli wurst with the hottest curry sauce on the side and that was so good, I can go back just for that curry sauce. It's good and spicy, not one of those cop-out spicy. Staff are constantly checking on you and have a natural smile on their faces. So even if you have a bit of a wait (10-15 minutes since I ordered schnitzel, hot dog orders were coming out much faster), it isn't a frustrating one (as I was seated at a proper table, within 5 minutes of entering, having ordered and paid) I'd rather be seated at a table waiting for my food, than standing in line outside a Food joint. They have a range of drinks in unusual combinations, the cola orange lemonade was quite refreshing. And they also have beer. Would be happy to go back any time I feel a craving for burgers/schnitzel or hot dogs. read more

I finally gave in ... as a reluctant German who spent most of her adult life avoiding meat and who hates terrible branding, I did a good job of avoiding Herman (don't make me say the rest) despite everyone raving about it. Until now .... Sausages are just the perfect lunchtime alternative if you are fed up with sandwiches but don't fancy investing time and money in a proper meal. The choice was a bit overwhelming, but I get the feeling you can't really go wrong. Unless you are veggie, of course, in which case your choice is limited to exactly one option - one more than in Germany! I felt opting for Currywurst would have been too easy and asked for an option including Sauerkraut. Can't remember the name of the sausage but it was tasty, especially once I covered it in mustard (not too hot, not too sweet) and ketchup (not Heinz) - the crispy onion sprinkles were complimentary and took me right back to being a teenager. As you can probably tell by my condiment excitement, I usually avoid fast food outlets - this may not have been the last exception. read more

Herman Ze German is probably my favourite quick meal restaurant in London. It is the one place that I recommend to every single one of my friends, whether they live in London or if they are visiting. I haven't had the opportunity to try any of the non-sausage menu items. But out of the things that I have tried, nothing has been short of amazing. The sausage in a roll meal option is very economical and tastes great. The chilli sausage is not too spicy while the garnishes are excellent. I usually go for the chilli sausage with crispy onions and sauerkraut however I've had the Currywurst as well. The curry sauces are all amazing and if you can handle the spice, I definitely recommend the spiciest sauce (I believe it's called burner or ringer). The frites are definitely the best I've had ever. #onpoint. They are never oily and are always cooked to crispy perfection. The beer options are excellent and you can even have a stein option. However, my favourite thing about Herman are the German soda options. The Fitz-Kola and Fritz-Lemon taste amazing and is usually what I order. read more

What find. I just loved this place. Reminds me of a taste of Berlin when I visited there and discovered the currywurst. Great friendly service here and nice choice of fast food. Licensed too so can also grab some good German beers. I went for a hot large bockwurst. My friend had the chilliwurst and was well hot at the end. Good job he don't go hotter with the sauce. Want to come back and try a hotter sauce. Just wish we had one of these places in brum Not the cheapest for fast food. £32 for two with beers. But worth it for if you are currywurst fan read more

I stumbled across this place as I waited for an event over the road, and I'm so glad I did. The food is surprisingly cheap for the area it's located in, meaning my pork and veal sausage smothered in crispy onions and happiness came in under a fiver. It was fairly filling, but I could have eaten another one straight after! read more

I wish I can say the same thing as other customers, or at least eat the same thing as others. Instead, what was served to me as I ordered a bockwurst in a roll with crispy onions is a poor excuse of a German hot dog. The bun was very stall, hard to bite in, while the wurst itself tastes like packaged sausage, very small in size. It is very bland and definitely not smoky. The crispy onions did not help but rather gave the roll a drier texture. Overall it did not live up to its image and especially the price. On the other hand, service was okay, attentive and helpful. The ambience is pretty laid back, it would be a nice place to hang out with friends, if not for the quality of the food. read more

Herman Ze German - Bockwurst in a roll. The wurst was smaller than the bun. - Hot Dogs Near Me - London, XGL

Currywurst in London? No question, go to one of the Herman ze German branches. It's ze best. Around October 2014, Herman ze German opened its third branch in London. After Embankment and Soho, they now also have a little restaurant in Fitzrovia's restaurant-wealthy Charlotte Street. The place feels slightly bigger than their Soho branch and the downstairs seating area is a little bit more formal. When I went there, I did not have much time, so Herman ze German was the perfect pre-drinks option. I quickly ordered a delicious guest wurst, which was a very tasty Krakauer, and found a place to sit downstairs. One of the stereotypical great things I like about Herman ze German is that a snack there can be pretty efficient - it usually does not take long until your meal is ready, and because it is uncomplicated comfort food, you can munch it down without contemplating about colours or textures or other things like that. Simply enjoy ze wurst and head on to your next stop. With the bar area downstairs, Herman ze German might also become a more viable option for drinks - but I have not yet checked their drinks menu at the new shop. Anyway, if you like currywurst or if you just need a quick bite before or after some drinks, Herman ze German is one of the best things that could happen to you! read more

Nice little cafe if you are craving sausage and a cocktail, indoor and outdoor dining, friendly and efficient service all for a good price.

"Herman Ze German", one should already give a few extra stars for that name which I can't pronounce in any other way than in Jason Statham's voice from Snatch. This place recently opened close to my work and so for the regular hangover-Friday I went to try it out last week for the first time. They have a lunch-box (sliced-up sausage with some fries), but I strongly recommend to go for the standard option: one of their 3 sausages (Brat, Bock or Chilli) in a roll (hot-dog!) with a portion of fries next to it. I took an extra portion of sauce (can't find back the name) which was totally worth it (not sure if they otherwise give you some ketchup or mustard to go with it) and extra cheese (that made it definitely a calorie-bomb, but hey .. it's Friday!). If you go for the take-away option I recommend you squirt in some extra sauce on your way out though, as they didn't give me that much mayo for my fries. Sausage roll was absolutely delicious and tasty. Fresh meat combined with a great sauce. The fries were perfect as well. Not the thick pub-chips, nor the too-thin fries you get at Byron but perfect medium-size fries you mostly find only in Germany, Belgium or The Netherlands. Hereby I declare Herman Ze German one of my new favourite lunch-spots. I already got my loyalty-card! read more

Having just returned from Berlin and deciding that a nostalgic hot dog was in order, I turned to this place which had been recommended by a German friend a while ago. I went for the chilliwurst and my friend had the large currywurst with pomme frites. The food was great - both the fries and the hot dog exceeded expectations! The portion sizes are also big so you get incredible value for money. This will definitely be my go-to place in London for quick and tasty German food. read more

It's cheap, it's good, and the service was polite and fast. I got a large portion with fries (curry bratwurst and brok mix) and was filled up despite going in fairly hungry. There's a bar downstairs and they have some drink specials around lunch, and they're open pretty late -- even on weekends. This'll be a go-to place for me now. read more

When you're craving wurst, Herman Ze German hits the spot! For Americans like me who did not know, currywurst is sausage topped with a ketchup tomato-based sauce with curry spices - quite delicious and reminiscent of chili. For a little over £5, I got a bratwurst sausage, topped with currywurst and crunchy fried onions in a roll. For about £1 more, you can add a generous side of seasoned pommes frites. Everything was tasty, friendly service, and they have a nice selection of German sodas. Great lunch spot! read more

Had a really yummy lunch here - I went for the bratwurst in a bun with cheesey pommes, while my husband has curry wurst and chips, piled high with curry sauce, onions and jalapeños. Both choices proved delicious and were delivered speedily to our table - always a bonus when you're grabbing lunch of a workday. I've been told (and can well believe) that it gets very busy later in the week, but I wouldn't mind having to queue for a wurst as delicious as this. read more

I came here on a random weekday and the place was pretty empty. I had no idea why I decided to have such a heavy lunch, but I ordered the pork schnitzel with a side of salad and fries. Pork Schnitzel: I originally wanted the chicken schnitzel, but they were out that day. I opted for the pork schnitzel instead. It literally tasted like crispy pankoed bacon. Except the cut wasn't pork belly. It just had the smoky flavor of bacon. Delicious. Dill Aioli/dressing: I usually don't like dill, but this was great! Wasn't too sure if it was for the schnitzel or the salad. Either way, I used it for both. Salad: This salad... I don't even know why, but it was so good??? I think it was the sweet granny smith apples. Maybe the dill aioli? Fries: Pretty standard. Would recommend to try at least once! read more

Herman Ze German - Pork schnitzel with a side of salad - Hot Dogs Near Me - London, XGL

Oooh why didn't I try this place sooner I ask myself! I had been on the hunt for good chicken schnitzel in London for a really long time....finally!! SOOOOOOO GOOOOOD!!! I had the schnitzel, chips and salad and my friend opted for the schnitzel sandwich (which was equally as good and in a warm brioche bun). It was cooked to perfection and accompanied with a tasty salad. The chips were also packed with flavour (not sure what flavours in particular were on the chips, but whatever it was, it was amazing). They also have a few German beers on tap which complimented the food beautifully. Now to work out when is an acceptable amount of time to return and have exactly the same thing...hmm. read more

I have been to Germany more times than I can count and more often than not, I have had some kind of wurst while I was there. First I must admit that the only reason I set foot in this place is because of its name. It made me laugh out loud (for real!) the first time I saw it and would always elicit a snicker out of me every time I saw it after. The wurst at Herman ze German is delicious, not greasy at all, like it should be! It's all very fresh and quickly made. I also love that you really get a taste of authentic german flavours such as currysauce. :) The staff is very helpful and pleasant. I would definitely recommend this to anyone! read more

Curry wurst and its pork schnitzel are the best. Their frites (chips) also perfect crisp and salty enough. I also love their flavoured beer.

Damn good dog. Had a takeaway bratwurst meal and let me tell you, it was worth every penny. The service was quick, the food was awesome and the packaging wasn't too extreme. O would definitely go again soon! read more

The best sausages in London and the service was superb which is a rarity in London. Definitely recommend it.

German fast food at its best. Sausages are gluten free, non GM, no MSG. Fries are best fries I had in fast food places. Its a great place to grab a quick bite. Staff if friendly and efficient. Value for money. I often pop in and stuff my face with yummy food there. read more
