The food here was amazing, the maitre d was very nice and helped us to find a seat that we preferred after only a few minutes wait. The food was a great quality and for a good price. I had the Roulade and I really enjoyed it, very tasty! read more

The food is really delicious and the location is very quiet. In the evening you see a beautiful sunset. The service was very friendly even with our large group. However, the prices are quite high. read more

This is the most reviewed place in Berlin when you search for German food. The wiener schnitzel was really great. It's veal, lightly breaded, and lightly fried with a classic taste. They start you off with a glass of apple juice before you order. The tapas are really good too. Had the cheese, meatballs, and trout mousse, all of which were really great. read more

All hyperbole aside- this was truly one of the most memorable dining experiences I have had in over a decade. All of the dishes we are were thoughtful, fresh, and impressively executed. We began our meal with series of small dishes: a trout pâté, walnut/beet dip, mini sausages with sauerkraut. All of it was simply exquisitely delicious. For the main courses, we order the schnitzel. 1. It was enormous and cooked to perfection. 2. The potato dish that accompanied mine was like nothing I have ever tasted before. Pickles with perfectly prepared potatoes. 3. I don't think that I will be able to eat any other schnitzel after this. The owner was incredibly friendly and very hospitable. In fact, the service was impeccable. I will carry this food memory for a lifetime. read more

Schnitzelei - Schnitzel Near Me - Berlin, BE

Great service and atmosphere and very decent food. Schnitzel is outstanding, no need to visit snobbish places like Borchard when you can enjoy a warm welcome and lighthearted service provided by a super nice bunch of young and energetic people who don't take themselves too serious. Overall a bit pricey but packed every time I visit and I keep coming back so must be worth it. :) be prepared to wait for your food up to 40 mins when it's busy. Nice gesture to serve a welcome beer but maybe check or be more sensitive to people who don't drink alcohol. Keep up the great job!!! read more

As Berlin local I took my friends from California to this place and was very disappointed. 1. It is overpriced and added a touristy price for sure! We end up paying 70 euro for three meals and a bottle of water, that's just unacceptable for Berlin and what we got 2. The taste of the Wiener schnitzel, bayerische schnitzel, Currywurst and Königsberger Klopse was just not worth the price and just average if not below average. This is my opinion as local. It's overpriced and the taste is below average. read more

appetizer were amazing defintley could've gone with the 9 option instead of 3 because you'll want to try them all. Schnitzel was delicious and perfect to share. The portions here are BIG so share and then it becomes more economical too! Enjoyed this place! They greet you with complementary beer as well read more

Great service and ambience, very good food and generally an extremely enjoyable dining experience along simple lines. The vfm offered by the German Tapas is excellent and I imagine that you could happily spend a few hours watching the Spree flow by from the terrace when the weather's warm enough. They could though do with adding Bloody Mary to the list of cocktails. read more

Overall: Great food and ambiance, but I definitely would not come back again because of the horrible, horrible service. Cuisine: Right when you sit down, they bring you a complimentary small glass of beer, which was a nice surprise. The meal itself was very good. We ordered the Jägerschnitzel and the Three Dessert Tapas. Definitely some of the best schnitzel I've had and the dessert tapas were perfect for 2 people. Ambiance: Beautiful outdoor seating, though this fills up quickly unless you have a reservation! Service: Horrible - one of the worst service experiences I've ever had. Not sure if it's because we were American or Asian (most of the other guests were German), but our waiter completely neglected us. After ordering our meal, it was all downhill from there. We waited half an hour after our meal until our dessert came -- pretty sure our waiter completely forgot. Then we waited an additional 15 minutes after our dessert for our check - we had to ask 3 times before he finally brought it and when he did, he had the audacity to say that the tip wasn't included. read more

Had to find a place for dinner not too far from Tegel Airport for some good German food. What a find! Not at all touristy. Many locals dine here - always a good sign. You will need reservations on the weekends. We were fortunate to get in early. Our waitress greeted us with two "welcome beers". Wonderful way to welcome customers! Nice menu with traditional German small plates and entrees. Multiple vegetarian options as well. We had the schnitzel. Simply wonderful with huge portion sizes. Nice beer and wine selection and full bar. Family friendly as well. Easy to reach via taxi or Uber. Worth a special trip read more

If you are looking for a really German food in Berlin this is a place to go. A casual and modern looking restaurant and a super nice bar. Upon arrival, you are greeted with. Small glass of beer and some starter bread and butter which is super tasty. We were a group of five and every thing we ordered from the menu from Wiener Schnitzel to Gesottenes Schnitzel and Gemuse cordon blue was tasty. The service, however, is super slow and not as good as the food and the restaurant's ambience. read more

The two previous English Language Reviews made me decide to make Schnitzelei our pre-Opera destination, as I was hankering for one last authentic German meal before heading home from Berlin. When the previous reviews are so glowing it is easy to nit-pick or be disappointed in some way because the expectation level is so high, but I'm pleased to say everything was excellent and I have absolutely no complaints. From the moment we walked in at 5:45, sans reservation, and was told a table was available as long as we understood it was reserved by another party at 8:00, to the stylish and much appreciated small welcome beer, to the ambience which is really quite delightful for a place where the mains are in the high teens, to the main course which were the best schnitzels we've ever had, to the service which was engaging and friendly throughout, this was a great place to be. This may have just been luck of the draw, or the time of year (mid January), but all the tables around us were German speakers. If you are looking for a classy place for great German food that is a cut above for both atmosphere and service, I heartily recommend Schnitzelei! read more

Tucked away from the busy civilization of Berlin, this restaurant is found on the northern ends of the quiet and residential neighborhood of Charlottenburg. It's situated right by the river Spree. My exhausted friends and I, looking confused and lost (none of us spoke German other than making out what we could), were welcomed by their warm service and free beer (apparently a staple here). Complimentary free bread basket was amazingly delicious (rye and beer bread were the combination here). Food here is typical German/Austrian food, but not feeling like it's bar food. The schnitzel dishes are quite delicious (to me) and more than what I can eat. Prices are modest compared to the serving sizes (a lot of schnitzel). You're paying for the ambiance too, let's not forget. Very comfortable environment and noise is moderate (no shouting conversation). Service is a little slow in the beginning, but it was considerably busy at the dinner hour we were dining at. Several waiters/resses waited on us throughout the evening were helpful and quite attentive (without being in your face). One of them was nice enough to help us out with our dessert recommendations. It was endearing and made a nice memorable closure for the dining event. English is spoken very little here, but they do try. I don't expect anyone to speak English with me in a foreign place. I could have pointed at the menu and went along with it. That's when I am feeling ambitious and want to be surprised in a new foreign city. read more

Wanted some good authentic German wiener schnitzel so my wife and I walked here after touring the Charlottenburg Palace. The schnitzel was a bit pricey, but WOW it was good! And the portion size was falling-off-my-plate huge! My wife got their German tapas because she is gluten free and doesn't like traditional German food, and she was also blown away. The tapas come in flights of 3, 6, or 9 small dishes. They are packed with flavor and a great value. We came for the schnitzel but left loving the tapas even more! Good atmosphere, free glass of apfelsaft paired well with the flavors, great bread, decent service. read more

Schnitzelei - Their highly rated Wiener schnitzel and 3 German tapas. Also pictured, bread basket and apple drink, included free - Schnitzel Near Me - Berlin, BE

Right after arriving in Berlin I had to look for a place with good schnitzel. On various lists I found Schnitzelei was in top3 of Berlin's restaurants serving traditional schnitzel. After arriving we had been given a small beer on the house (without even ordering). We ordered the 6 German tapas platter/ wooden board with various snack sized foods. Everything came beautifully served in small bowls with homemade bread (rye and beer bread). For main course we tried the schnitzel and it was simply amazing. The meat was super tender, with the right amount of coating, served with a small cucumber salad and traditional kartoffel salat (potato salad). The service was very attentive and although they kept forgetting and talking to us in German we thought they were very polite and friendly. I would totally recommend this place. It is a been off the beaten track but totally worth going. It's good to avoid the tourist hordes sometimes and enjoy your dinner with locals, isn't it ? read more

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, although they could have been a little more attentive. Free beer when we were seated, along with a basket of bread which was great. We got the Weiner Schnitzel and the Lamb Shanks. Both of which were excellent. Just don't make the mistake of ordering extra tapas (like we did) although the tapas was tasty, the portion sizes for the main courses were massive, so the extra food was unnecessary. Will definitely eat here again. read more

I should have known to make a reservation, but for some reason, after a long day of sight-seeing, it completely slipped my mind. Luckily, we didn't even need one. The host and hostesses were incredibly accommodating, sitting us at an inside table almost immediately. As if that wasn't good enough, shortly after sitting down inside, they informed us that a table in the outside patio had opened up and we were welcome to move out there. Nice! The atmosphere, especially out on the patio is very pleasant. Despite the fact that Berlin was in the middle of a ridiculous heat wave during our visit - more akin to Texas weather than northern Europe - the patio is amply shaded by trees so it's very nice. What to order? Schnitzel, obviously. The menu has about 10 or so different versions and variations of schnitzel. I've been to Austria twice, and tried countless schnitzels. None compare to the one(s) I had, and sampled, here. I am so glad I came here during my brief stay in Berlin, or else I'd still have the misguided notion that schnitzel is a boring, tasteless piece of meat. Not only was this a surprisingly pleasant, thoroughly enjoyable meal, I have to say it was revelatory. Don't save your schnitzel experience for Vienna, come here! read more

I've eaten here twice now, and have really enjoyed it both times. Tonight's meal was one of the best I've had in Berlin! I had the lamb hüftschnitzel, which was perfectly cooked lamb medallions, fingerling potatoes, and bacon green beans. The lamb was excellent, perfectly cooked as said. It was mild in flavor, and I did feel it needed a smidge of salt, but I devoured it. Beans were delicious as were the potatoes. My wife and daughter had two different breaded schnitzels, and my son had the creamy mushroom sauce schnitzel. They all loved theirs as well. We also enjoyed some of their tapas to start. They serve these in cool little dishes on a wooden board, and you see them getting served as you go in and start to salivate. This was great too. Good beers and a full list of cocktails are available. They also start you off with a small free beer (and apple juice for the kids). I even had a decent espresso (I'm a total snob on this, so was an unusual order/place to order one for me, but, after a long day I was in need... Then it was on to beer :) I think the only downside I've seen for me is the location. We're over on the east side so this is a little bit of a hike to get to, but I think totally worth it. The restaurant also has a style and feel that I really like - it's more upscale, but no white linens. So, you feel it's nicer, but at the same time it's very comfortable. There's a nice warm sort of "glow" to the interior which is great. I definitely recommend it. read more

We visited this restaurant with a couple of local friends & had a wonderful evening. The schnitzels were excellent & the wine & beer were great. You will need to make a booking - the restaurant was very busy even on a Tuesday night!! read more

What a beautiful place! The service was great- our server was supported by the rest of the house staff to give us a great experience. We were given complimentary pilsners which was very thoughtful. I also ordered a cocktail, but I'm sad to say that this may have been the only factor leading to a subtraction of one star. I may just be too used to stronger cocktails from the US, but I'd pass on the cocktails and opt for beer instead. We had the tapas to start- bacon wrapped plums. I'm used to bacon wrapped dates, but to be honest with you, these were just as good. Who would have thought? I then had the veal schnitzelei- amazing! It was enormous (maybe 8 inches x 12 inches?) but it was fried? to perfection. Each bite had hints of mayonnaise (you are lying to yourself if you don't like the taste of mayo) I also got a side of the potato salad- which was also good, but just a little too much in terms of quantity after the main course. My boyfriend got the beef schnitzelei, which was actually a steak. They never did ask him how he wanted it cooked, but it came out perfect. I was on a dessert kick when I traveled in Europe so we got the ice cream trio. If I wasn't intent on trying dessert from every country, I would have passed on a 3rd course as I was already very full. But, I was not disappointed and each ice cream (I forgot the flavors now) were delicious. Overall the food, atmosphere, and service were excellent. I would definitely come back here again. read more

At Schnitzelei they serve a variety of schnitzels, and we had the classic Wiener schnitzel. It was really tasty and well prepared. The only con is that the location is a bit off and that the staff wasn't a so attentive. But the schnitzel was great! read more

Schnitzelei - Wiener schnitzel, really good! - Schnitzel Near Me - Berlin, BE

A pretty sweet place! Unfortunately we went when it was cold, so we couldn't really sit outside and enjoy any of that, but I'll come back for it in the spring and summer. Anyway, inside, pretty cool as well. Service people were extremly friendly and also extremely attentive, something you don't get everywhere, especially in Berlin. We both skipped apetizers and had the Wiener Schnitzel, which despite the hefty price of 15,50 EUR easily helped Schnitzelei into my personal Top 5 of schnitzel places. ;-) I'm not sure if it's #1, #2, #3, #4 or #5 - but it was really, really good. The Schnitzel was veal, very fresh and thin. It came with a little cucumber salad and potatoe salad. As for drinks, they have a pretty comprehensive menu for everything alcoholic and non alcoholic, I had a beer and my buddy had a wine. For cocktails they also do whatever you want that is not on the menu. After the dinner we moved to pair of very comfy armchairs, had a smoke or two, a few more drinks and took it very, very easy. They closed down around 1:00 AM or something. We left at almost 2:00 AM and were never rushed us out, which is pretty nice as well. read more

Probably one of the best schnitzels I tasted. Also tried their Jägerschnitzel with Spätzle and was equally good. The restaurant's ambiance is great and service is super friendly. Prices are expectedly a bit high, but totally worth it. read more

Absolutely delicious! My father and I had read good reviews and came on a whim, without a reservation. We were seated inside immediately and served a tapas-portion of beer as soon as we sat down.

This is the best meal I have ever had in my life. Also, make sure you come really hungry because you will want to make sure you make it through to dessert. The prices themselves may be a little high by German standards for a neighborhood restaurant, but way lower than anything you will find in the Mitte, and crazy cheap by Chicago standards. The food is a foodie take on German pub fare kicked up to the quality of haute cuisine. and our server explained all the ingredients in there with pride and explained how the complimentary (and delicious) beer bread was baked in house. I will start with the ambiance. It was moderate noise level and a pretty packed house especially considering it was a Tuesday evening but we didn't have to worry about reservations or waiting. The decor had a the smooth lines or modern design, but also a lot of warmth and comfort from the natural wood and candle light. I am not sure, but I kinda got the impression that it was more or less a popular neighborhood and local restaurant than a destination restaurant, which it easily could be as well. While they are open until midnight be aware that the kitchen closes at 11pm so I recommend getting there by 9pm at the latest to make sure you can take in the full experience. Once we were sat, we were given small glasses of beer right away. It took a little bit for our server to join us, but he was also waiting on a very large party in the room around the corner as well so that is easily forgivable. He brought us bread right away. Though obviously, I didn't expect our server to speak English, he did speak some (very well actually) and was able to explain the food to us through my translated version of the menu that we downloaded from their website. If he didn't know the English word, he was willing to ask a coworker which I feel was above and beyond the call of duty. While we placed our order he was more than willing to chime in with his honest opinion and helped us pick out some really amazing German style tapas. All of the food was rich and oh so flavorful! Make sure you get the bacon wrapped dates, and the Obatzda, I practically teared up because eating them were so delicious. We, of course, had the schnitzel as a main course. We ordered the small to share and only ate a third between the two of us because we were so full from the tapas, but it was wonderful. The veal was so tender you didn't even need to bother with your knife. For dessert our server recommended the tapas size dessert trio and even though we were stuffed stilled managed to blow my mind. My personal favorite was the ice cream schnitzel server with a pomegranate sauce (I'm imagine the sauce changes seasonally), while my girlfriend loved the chocolate mousse, that was designed to emulate a candy popular among German youth. After dessert we were presented with a complimentary digestif. I am not sure if this is normal or if they just really liked us, but it was nice and helped settle all the food in my stomach. Between the very nice ambiance, the attentive and patient service, and the amazing food, I would be willing to fly 5000 miles solely to eat at this restaurant again. read more

I loved this spot! Great food, atmosphere, and the servers were very friendly and polite. I would highly recommend the tapas plates--we ordered nine and LOVED all of them. What a great way to sample German food. We also ordered Wiener Schnitzel, which was cooked to perfection. The location is a little out of the way, but worth the cheap cab from mitte. read more

A+ i came here for a late lunch on Saturday. They do ressies via Opentable which was convenient. Super friendly staff, we were greeted to our table with some house apple cider. YUM! Two of us shared the 6 tapas (can't remember them all but the memorable ones were the veal burgers, meatballs, curry sausage - mostly the popular items) and a weiner schnitzel. It was A LOT of food but I'm sure we could have gone with more since it was all so flavorful. They have a great cocktail/drinks menu and all the food is extremely reasonably priced. Highly recommend! The only reason why I gave it one star less is because they allow dogs inside the restaurant - I'm not against dogs but I felt like it wasn't very sanitary to have dog hair flying around everywhere, especially in your dining area. read more
