This place isn't bad when you take into consideration that it is along the same lines as a fast food restaurant. Nestled to the side of the Westfield food court, it offers a variety of different schnitzels at fast food prices. Service is quick and our wait time for two combos was around 5 minutes, speedy when you're cooking to order.
We had just arrived at the end of a lunchtime rush. There was no queue to order, but a lot of people waiting to pick up. The lady at the register came across a little lacking in confidence (believe in yourself sister, I have faith in you!).
What is refreshing is seeing more than just chicken on the schnitzel menu. You can go with chicken, beef, fish, or vegetarian schnitzel ($7.55 is whats on my receipt). For extra you can go with a side of chips or salad or both. They have a large variety of sauces and their aioli is a sure winner winner, schnitzel dinner.
Most of the large pickup crowd had been served quickly. We waited no more than five minutes to receive our meals. They have a small bench area of about 4-5 seats on the side of the kiosk, which most people seemed to have missed.
My partner ordered a chicken schnitzel and I, to be different, ordered the beef schnitzel - both with chips. The chicken was slightly overdone and dry. The beef, which I'm sure was a steak which had been butterflied, was chewy in the middle but okay on the sides. The chips dominated the meal. By that I mean they were the shining stars. Cooked a golden brown and fluff inside, a pinch under seasoned, but dipping them in the aioli made the under seasoning irrelevant.
If you look at this place as a schnitzel house, it has a lot to be desired. If you keep in mind that this is inline with places like KFC, McDonalds and Oporto; it stands up by itself. I would try the wraps and sandwiches instead of just a schnitzel and chips. But lets face it, when have we defined schnitzel as a fast food. read more
