This place is schnitzel crazy. If you enjoy meals larger than your own head then this is your joint. The menu boasts a generous selection of different schnitzel toppings to satisfy any chicken cravings you may be having. But make no mistake, one of these schnitzel meals can feed three people (or two super hungry people). While the decor is worn and outdated, the food is anything but. Fast, fresh and mighty fine. If you are able to finish off ones of these bad boys, then you are an eating machine. During our meal we had the pleasure of talking to a grandma who came here with her family and was in a state of shock by the size of her meal. During our meal we had the unfortunate situation of a war documentary being played on one of their TV screens. I guess we could have asked the owner to switch the station... but I would have needed to roll out of my chair and waddle on over to the front desk. The good thing is that you can get take away containers (for a small fee). At home, with added chips and salad I was able to get another 6 meals from my left overs - no joke. read more

The schnitzels are HUGE so order less than what you think you can eat. There were 8 of us and we ordered 3 schnitzels which we hardly made a dent on. We also got salad and chips and we were stuffed! I really liked the schnitzels, they were delicious and the chicken was juicy and tasty. My husband and I also got the alfajores for dessert but they weren't that great. Stick to the schnitzels and you will have a great time here! read more

Ah gigantic schnitzels. Come for the novelty, leave in a food coma. I went with some seasoned Goni eaters who made sure we only got 1 schnitzel between the 4 of us. We only just finished it. We got the Mediterranean (chicken), which was like a mild pesto with cheese, really tasty and simple which meant it was super easy to eat. It wasn't so much the meat but the cheese that slowed us all down. We also got a Greek salad which was good, everything was fresh and they weren't cheap with the cheese and olives. Also got some chips that were okay, they had little shakers of chicken salt which was cool. Atmosphere is a little food court, wobbly joined together tables with chairs and bench seating. Lots of TVs, not that I noticed them as I was too concentrated on the meat. We made sure to make a reservation, they will put your name on a table and if you aren't there within a half hour your table is up for grabs. They are also cash only. read more

Ok we went here for our kids combined birthday dinner and whilst they probably thought it was a great time I have to say the food is rubbish. It wasn't the echo-chamber environment, the fluro lighting, the tired furniture, the rock hard plastic benches, or the average service. It was the dry, chewy veal and chicken schnitzel people appear to rave about. Now if massive serves are you're thing and quantity outweighs taste, flavour and quality well maybe you'd love it. Ridiculous serving sizes but just so chewy and so so so so average. One was visit was plenty. read more

Previously the restaurant at the White Cockatoo Hotel in Petersham, there was a lot of hype behind their giant schnitzels and unfortunately i never got the chance to try one. They've since blown up enough to move to their own giant location a huge cafeteria styled place on Marrrickville road. so my friend and I ordered the OG Chicken Parmigiana to share, with a salad and some garlic bread... Schnitzels were not very crispy and were heading towards the soggy end, In terms of flavour I'd say very average The G bread which was on turkish bread was also soggy and floppy, i dont know about you but i like my g bread crisp! the greek salad was a generous serving with feta that looked creamy a delish but again nothing to write home about read more

I wanted to like this place more than I did. The hype surrounding their new opening, relocating to their own space on the main strip in Marrickville after having served customers at the Cockatoo for 12 years and building a reputation for some enormous schnitzels just couldn't be realized. Some may ferociously disagree with me, however. As a couple walking in off the street, we were disappointed with the service and layout of the space. It is set up like a sterile cafeteria - it is sparsely but tastefully decorated and clearly brand new. I personally don't mind sterility because it is hygienic and that's how I prefer my eating spaces. However, the basement is laid out with lots of large nooks and separated rooms that serve larger groups wells - most if not all of them had clearly been reserved and were soon occupied early in the evening on the weekend. That made it hard if not impossible for smaller groups or singles to get a spot. The queuing is also disorganized, and we were scared we would order food only to find no place to sit. A waitress managed to find us a spot stuffed between another couple and a larger group - less than ideal for a date. It also gets obnoxiously loud and the austerity of the space tends to make it a bit of an echo chamber. When the food came out, as much as we had mentally prepared ourselves for schnitzels even larger than the obscenely large schnitzels at the hotel, we were still shocked. Tables next to us took up conversation about the size of the things. By the end of their meal sharing one plate, the couple next to us joked that they had been there before, which is how they knew to share just one serving. They still took home leftovers, but they'd also brought their own takeaway container, because the restaurant charges $0.50 for theirs. Price was good, at $22 per schnitzel which comes over a pile of chips, and you won't want to eat anything else so don't bother with sides. The taste and variety of schnitzels on the menu was decent too - about a dozen or more options with homemade sauces and your choice of chicken, pork, or veal patties. I would guess you get about 2 pounds (1 kilo) of meat on your plate, so the value is there if you can eat enough of it. It looked like at least three butterflied chicken breast fillets pounded breaded and served up in all their glory. It barely fit on the plate, and it (thankfully) came nowhere near fitting down my gullet. On the plus side, I probably stuffed myself less here than with other schnitzels because it is so obscenely large it psychologically prompts you to give up earlier than you would otherwise, since you KNOW full well there is no way you can consume the entire portion. As my tip says, if you try this for the sheer shock value of the experience, do yourself a favor and just share one menu selection between two people. If nothing else, you will not leave here hungry. They do take reservations, at least for larger groups, and they serve a few beers, so it could be a good place for a party or pre-drinks meal with mates. read more

Despite the many people the service was Fast and Friendly, and the food was Hot, Tasty and Affordable. No wait at lunchtime. I'm picky about chicken quality. None of this is processed, and I could discard any lower quality piece as there was more than I could eat in a sitting. A single order will easily last an individual 3 meals, or be shared between 3 friends which my partner regularly does resulting in an $8/head lunch. The only real con is that the environment & ambience is awfully thought through. Not enough room at most tables. My tips: Get it to-go and get 3 meals out of it or go with friends, and when you tuck in don't expect gourmet, it's cheap fast good corner pub food. read more

Pros: that sweet moment of a giant schnitzel on your plate and all the giddy photos/snapchats that follow. Cons: eating it. It is multiple schnitzels not fit for my dog stacked on top of one another covered in half warm melted cheese and soggy raw vegetables. Two bites into this fella and i started feeling ill about the whole situation. I love junk food, fried food, you name it. These schnitzels are novelty waste of 22 bucks and you'll end it regretfully staring at your 9 schnitzels as they begin to smell funny. Again, come here for novelty, DEFINITELY not for quality. Would rather spend 22 bucks on a meal I'll actually have a shot at eating. Not for frozen heated up hunks of meat. read more

I absolutely enjoyed my meal at The Goni's Shnitz joint. My order came with 3 pieces of steak cooked at medium rare served on a platter with chips and garden salad for only $27 its a great deal. Although the food was great the space and waiting time to get a table is abit frustrating because usually all tables are booked out. However, the food was awesome. read more

If you like schnitzel this is definitely the place for you, we ordered 1 plate of plain schnitzel between 4 of us with mushroom gravy, 1 potato omelet that came with a salad and aioli and we also ordered a bowl of chips, we all ate til we were full and still had leftovers, looking around the packed restaurant, I noticed so many people who had ordered 1 plate of schnitzel per person and they barely made a dent in it before admitting defeat and breaking out in the meat sweats. If you dont like schnitzel, that's just not normal cos who doesn't like it, but if you dont, they have plenty of other choices like burgers nachos calamari and even ribs, and all their portions are just as substantial as the schnitzel, only a few sides to choose from like the potato omelet chips or ceasar salad but one thing I wanted and they didnt offer were mashed potatoes, c'mon who doesn't like schnitzel and mash??? But the best part of the meal is it only cost our party of 4 $12.50 each!! Seriously, that's just unheard of these days. They will definitely swe me again. read more

My two favourite things are schnitzels and food challenges and this still sucked. The quality of the food was horrible. Our Mexican schnitzel was just covered in cheese, one hardly noticeable swirl of avocado paste (not guacamole) and for some reason they decided to cover it in sweet chilli sauce as well, making it virtually inedible. read more

The servings are ridiculous and the evidence is in the sub standard quality of the food. On approaching the place you can't help but feel like you are in a hospital styled cafeteria with the bright white lights and cheap furniture making the atmosphere quite dull. The place is cash only which contributes to the low score and the friendliness of staff is questionable as they seem to be using the cheap labour of foreigners who speak broken English. The servings are extremely oversized and I wouldn't recommended anything more than 1 dish between 3 people as the servings are very big. Would help if the person taking our order would've asked how many people are eating as 1 dish per person was way too much and this would've been nice to know as first timers. The pork that we ordered was terrible and the Turkish bread it came with was soggy and disgusting! There was no dressing on the salad either. The chicken Snitzel was oily and tasteless with a poor crumbing on it that was falling off. Definitely not going back and wouldn't recommend it to ANYONE!! read more

Absolutely disgusting, the service was awful, terribly rude wait staff. The schnitzel was extremely overcooked and dry and had no flavour and I found a dark hair in it. Worst part of all I went home feeling extremely unwell and had explosive diarrhoea all night. Absolutely would not recommend to anyone ever, do not waste your time or money here. read more

Cheap and crap. Schnitzels as big as Texas and as chewy as shoe leather steer clear. Go to a tasty cheap Viet place down the road there is dozens of them read more

Aside from being forced onto the set menu, which is not worth the money unless you're prepared to turn a night out into a game of Man vs. Food, the food here is far below standard. The prices are fine, $30 for a giant family-sized pizza worth of schnitzel, but the schnitzel you get would make you hate schnitzel. It's dry, the toppings are pathetic, and the chicken ones were barely cooked. As we were forced onto the set menu for booking 12, though only having 10 in the group (we were told that we had to have the set menu or we'd be charged $20 for the two missing party members), which meant a table full of chips and poorly dressed greek salad. We ordered 4 schnitzels - three turned up and 1 of them was not even the one we ordered. Later we ordered a 4th again and guess what... it never turned up. The waitress was short and rude and treated us as if we were a hinderance for wanting gravy with our dry, cold chips. We ordered coke and that never appeared but plenty of substandard sangria did. I guess if you drink enough of that you can overlook the awful schnitzel. (We never got to dessert because we were asked to leave the table as soon as we were done putting our leftovers into containers that we had to purchase as doggy bags.) You should also be able to deal with the fact the place looks like a downstairs toilet with white tiles and lots of mirrors. You sit on worn chairs, or if you're lucky a hard white bar which is only comfortable if you sit on your jacket, as I did. The place has the appeal of a cafeteria, you even eat off plastic plates the size of a kid's cafeteria tray, it's far from a restaurant. Add that it's down a unnervingly steep flight of stairs, like a good downstairs public toilet, and you really get some atmosphere. I would recommend this place if every other place (including Oportos) in Marrickville is closed otherwise I'm sure the Tavern next door has a better atmosphere, better staff, and nicer food. read more
