Food was unremarkable, but that can be forgiven; incredibly rude staff, on the other hand, can't be overlooked. Wait time over an hour. When we politely inquired as to when we'd be served, we were essentially told to shut up, sit down, and deal with it because they had a "big catering order". A word of advice: we've all been in the weeds, but don't take it out on the customer - that's a surefire way to lose them. read more

I'm very blessed to be a member at the gym right next door which is how I found the place!! Definitely a top-notch spot, food is delicious and portions for everything are more than generous, all at a reasonable price. Never had anything bad from here and I've been eating here almost weekly for well over a year. Wally, the owner, definitely really cares about the quality of the food and the place is spotless (which is rare for a restaurant!). I actually had them cater a large party (~100 people) I was hosting and we were so impressed with the amazing spread of food and the service and the quality was just as good as when I order in the restaurant. Everyone at the party was blown away!! I have nothing bad to say, you should definitely eat here! read more

I ordered catering from here for the first time. Didn't know what to expect. Exceeded my expectations. Huge portions with food to spare. Great presentation. All the meats were fresh and juicy. Their hummus is so light and creamy. Wael and his team did an amazing job . read more

I called in and ordered take out today because this restaurant was not on any of the food delivery services apps. I ordered mixed grill and hummus. The food is as good as always. Now the little joint has a few tables set up outside for you to enjoy as well. read more

I work nearby and eat here at least 2x a week. Never dissapoints and food is always super fresh.

Came here off a recommendation from a friend. Lots of vegetarian options here - the bread, lebneh, baba ganouj, and hummus were all amazing. Service was friendly and the food is plated beautifully. This will be our new go-to place for middle eastern food. read more

The best Middle East food place in an area of superb Middle Eastern food. great quality. Good portions and very clean. Super fresh. Very nice staff. Few tables to eat in. Great place. Definitely a find in South Paterson Clifton area read more

If I could do double the amount of stars I would! The food is AMAZING! The Hummus alone is worth the trip. I've had Hummus many, many times... at both Israeli and Arab restaurants... Nothing and I mean nothing compares to the Hummus at Schnitzel. Even the pita is devine! Fluffy clouds of deliciousness! My partner had the mixed grill and I had a falafel and with both came generous portions of sides. I honestly cannot tell you exactly what was in all the veggie sides, but it was all yummy! Are we going back to try other entrees? Damn straight we are! The owner's name is Wally and we wish him and his wonderful little restaurant continued succ read more

My boyfriend usually comes over around 10 pm and we are given a very small option for dinner. All of the places by me are either closed or don't deliver. After searching Yelp for a place near me that's open and delivers Schnitzel Express was one of the options. After calling the gentleman on the phone told me they don't deliver to my area. It looked like I was getting another boring meal that night. Well, the gentleman called back and asked for my address, he assured me it wasn't too far of a drive. While on the phone he added a photo of the menu to help me chose. THE FOOD WAS AWESOME!!!! The contain was over flowing with food. I highly recommend this place. for being a gentleman and having the patience with me. It was greatly appreciated. for the great tasting food! read more

Came here for lunch and had the Moerav sandwich that was recommended to me. The prices were really cheap and the sandwich was rather large and filling. The sauce on the sandwich was great but some bites were a little dry. If you're not a fan of liver avoid the moerav. My Macedonian coworker wasn't too fond of the sandwich but this could be because we convinced him that it was a gyro in order for him to eat it. To be fair I would be upset too if i was expecting a gyro and bit into liver. In any case, I will likely be returning to try their chicken schnitzel because of their good portions and cheap prices. read more

Schnitzel Express - Moerav - Middle Eastern Near Me - Clifton, New Jersey

Back when I worked in Clifton this was one of my to go lunch take out spots. Very LARGE portions and reasonable prices. A favorite of mine is the regular chicken and rice platter they use various cuts of chicken including both dark and white and is very well seasoned. Located within a complex so parking is ample and available. There is some seating inside though limited. There is outdoor seating as well. read more

Just finished my shawarma sandwich and I'm writing this review inside the restaurant. To start, the sandwich was so fresh! The different salad toppings one can add are all colorful and look to be made on site. The pita bread absorbs the juices from the meat and vegetables making the last bite of the sandwich the best. I also ordered a falafel appetizer. Five pieces with a tasty white sauce for $1.00! I came in here because I have an interview. I've only been here for about 20 minutes and I've seen over a dozen people come in and takeout. Looks like this place is popular. I'll be back to try other items on the menu! read more

Schnitzel Express - I added the cucumber tomato salad and the cabbage that looked like it was mixed with beet juice? I don't know what it was, but it was good! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Clifton, New Jersey

Who ever takes the orders over the phone im hoping its not the owner because he is just very RUDE! Especially when my female coworkers tried to add an additional item his response was just to cancel the order way to keep the business running turning customers away! Work on your customers service FIRST! Wish you the best.... read more

Havent eaten here, but i called to ask whther the place serves halal food or not, pathetic guy and very rude who answered the phone, there are people who really care about halal and haram and if u being a muslim do not understand it than how can we expect non Muslims to do so, DO NOT DECLARE YOURSELF AS HALAL IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE HALAL CERTIFICATE, can't trust anyone in this world read more

the best chicken shawarma you can get outside of the middle east. the meat is very flavorful read more

Extremely rude and un-professional guy at the front. Had to leave without eating. There are better options in the area.

Good food can mitigate all woes, but when exorbitant wait times and surprisingly rude service come packaged with a meal that is forgettable at best, then I say it's not worth it. Normally I would give a place a second chance, but I'm afraid nothing compels me to do so here. read more

Dishonest, went there to get 4 chicken shawarma platter which cost $9.99, I was charged $11 (each) with no change back. The staff are rude, and they always want to rush you. For a better option go to king falafel which I think schnitzel express was a generic for. Would not recommend for the fact of dishonesty. read more

Amazing food! Great combinations! We love going here. Love the fresh salads. My favorite is the kufta kebab and mixed grill. Lots of food. Great service. The owner is wonderful and very hard working. Always friendly and remembers us when we come in. Highly recommend! read more

Great value spot. For 12$ the Schnitzel platter is huge ! 2 big filets of schnitzel with whote sauce.. yellow rice, and a mayo based salad of your choice. it is great stoner food but does not have much flavor. will comeback if i want a big portion of schnitzel read more

This is probably my favorite middle eastern spot to eat from.. Food is just so delicious.. please try the schnitzel dish platter.. you wont regret it, trust me... I wish I could give this place even more stars.. read more

I checked this place out after getting my eyebrows done across the road from here. It was Saturday and early lunch-ish hour, and I was surprise they weren't busy at all and I was the only customer. I ordered mourav and chicken schnitzel sandwiches with the hot sauce and pickles toppings to-go. It was my first time trying a mourav sandwich, but the chicken schnitzel was definitely one of the better ones I've had. read more

Fresh clean and delicious highly recommended, falafel sandwich are the best and very inexpensive, the plater is also really good

This place is amazing. They have several cold salads to choose from and every single one we tried was amazing. I do like the carrot salad and there's cabbage salad the best. I've had falafel from several places in the area and this place definitely has an amazing recipe for it. Also their platters are huge. If you order the chicken platter know that it is definitely big enough to be shared between two people. I stopped by the other day just to grab some falafel and will be going back soon read more

I happened to be passing by and I decided to try this place and I got a tell ya, I'm so happy I did. The food is so amazing everything was delicious ! every vegetable and salad was so fresh I can't believe it, now if you just walk in you are going to have to wait a good 15 to 20 minutes for your food but it is so worth it and those guys work their butt off... very nice workers very good food you will not be disappointed try it. read more

Ordered the Schnitzel platter and shawerma sandwich, both really good! The platter was a huge portion (enough to share) and that sauce on Schnitzel! Mmmm. Be prepared to be a mess eating the sandwich but it's worth it. The guy was nice, he explained what all the sides were. Recommend the corn/carrot slaw. Definitely coming back and trying other stuff. read more

The first time I went to the restaurant, I got a Philly CheeseSteak and I was offered 2 side salad bars along with it. Went back several times. I went back tonight and I ordered a Philly Steak and Sharwama. The restaurant was out of sharwama (normal). I was told the Philly Steak wont come with the side salad bar. I was surprised and mentioned my previous experience. The menu in the restaurant says at the top "serves with 2 side from our salad bar". The other item I had ordered was Chicken over rice. My wife and kids waited for the food, when it arrived the rice was cold and the chicken seemed old as well. Do not know when it was cooked. When I politely mentioned to the staff they got all defensive and saying we are 5 stars... anyhow bad experience tonight and poor customer service. The review is intended in the hopes they will fix their customer service and serve fresh food. read more
