Once in a while all you want for dinner is a schnitzel. Una's on Victoria Rd is my place to go to for my schnitzel fix. I prefer it to Bavarian Beer Cafe and Lowenbrau, as it never disappoints. Una's can become quite busy in the evening so get here early, otherwise you can wait upstairs in the bar which serves a range of German beers. Once you get a table, you gotta order the deep fried camembert as a starter. Its a heart attack waiting to happen but it is so good and so worth the extra gym session. I usually share this with 2-3 friends as its pretty heavy. For my main I would order either a chicken or Jaegar schnitzel (essentially a Vienna/veal schnitzel with mushroom sauce), and I dare you to try and finish it. Its huge! For dessert there is no choice in my mind, gotta get the apple strudel. Delish! So if you love your schnitzel, make your way to Una's quick smart!
Yum!!! Yumm!!! So yum!! My mouth waters when I am here. The food is really well priced and the serves are massive. The jäger schnitzel is amazing. You will enter into a food coma after eating it. Things that annoy me about coming here, they will offer you a pretzel that you pay $4 for but won't tell you that you need to pay for it. Also Sunday surcharge, nothing on menu regarding this and indoor seating isn't good as there is no air con. Again so yummy!!!
The absolute prerequisite here is that you like - hopefully love - chicken schnitzel. It's not going to help you or your friends if you're looking for fries, fish, steak, sandwiches, pasta, kebabs, sushi. Get out. Just get out. You're the wrong kind of ilk for this place. These guys and gals want chicken schnitzel aficionados. And it's enough even if you pretend to like it. I have been here twice. Once on a date and once with my parents and both of those times were largely memorable for the outsized and finger-lickin' yummy fried foods. The chicken schnitzel is only ever going to be the star here so don't feel the need to dress up for the occasion (and please, certainly not in any national costume). The schnitzel doesn't look anything different than what you've seen before bar the size - they're big. And they don't come alone. Along with the chicken (you can get veal schnitzel instead if you really want to) you get rosti - a hash-browny potato dish - and cabbage salad. The chicken schnitzel and rosti are exactly the kind of food you're always looking to eat but usually don't do because perhaps you have some personal pride or a food controller in the form of a husband or wife. It's a very casual atmosphere which is also part of the appeal (and not particularly surprising when you factor in the host suburb, Darlinghurst, and the lowbrow-ness of the nearby area). If there are no spare tables when you arrive do as a German/Austrian/Swiss national would do and go upstairs for a drink while you wait for your name to be called.
I have been going this restaurant for at least 40 years on and off. And it was always the best. The atmosphere, the staff. Una's was known for their over generous sized Jaegar schnitzels, either chicken or veal. With Covid and all, I had not visited Una's for around 12 months. What's happened? Has it changed hands? I went their a few days ago and ordered some take away. Yes a Veal Jager Schnitzel. It cost $24.00 I took home my take out and opened the container. The whole serving was tiny and quite frankly unpalatable. I binned the contents and didn't think much of it, I just thought maybe they were having a bad day and forgot about it. A few days later I decided to go to my favourite Una's as I remember it and get some take out. I rang and made my order. I sort if joked which the female on the phone and told her about what I got last time. She was polite and said she would make sure it wasn't going to be the same experience. "She would make sure" So I went and picked my order up. Some how now it costs $25.40 , I sad nothing just paid and left. I arrived home and opened this pathetically presented poor excuse of a hearty meal. Have a look at the images of this miserable dried up crumbed piece of topside. Does it look anything like the Schitzels in their website? The images in the website is what you used to get. But not anymore. Not this crumbed mean serving of a tough peice of topside being palmed off as veal. Not to mention the miserable serving of the half cooked potato and tea spoon of coleslaw. The meat was tough like an old shoe, the potato was browned on the top and raw underneath, and the rest was was such a miserable amount its not worth mentioning. This too ended up in the garbage bin. Who ever is running Una's has ruined such a great place that has been a part of Sydney for as long as I can remember. Hope your profit margin is well worth it by being cheap and miserable. I noticed there was no Chef in the kitchen just a bunch of one menu trained fast food cooks. You have lost me and I am sure many others as on both occasions one on a Friday night the place was almost empty, when once Una's used to be pumping 7 days a week. I rate this destruction 1 out of ten. I would not recommend this restaurant in fear that people would think I have no taste buds. To the owners put some professional cooks back in the kitchen who understand food with a passion.
Dear fellow pescetarians If you are invited to Una's for a birthday party, may i suggest you eat before hand as this eatery is not designed for you. Una's is designed for meat eaters..... so when perusing the menu you'll find very little that will be suitable for you....that said, they do try....so if you have to join the group here's whats on offer: Fettuccine Provencale - Mushrooms, Tomatoes, Onions, Herbs 14.90 Vegetable Strudel with Portuguese sauce and Rösti 17.90 Fresh Salmon Fillet on Salad with Rösti 21.90 If none of these appeal. that perhaps you should try avoid a visit here.... I've been to Una's once for breakfast and it wasn't bad - their Vegetarian Breakfast - Mushrooms, Eggs, Rösti, Toast and Tomatoes was quite substantial....and their oily Rosti is super yum.... a great place to soak up your big Saturday night.... Not my first choice - but my friends seem to rate it....
Una's is German cuisine, renowned for their huge servings. Una's isn't a fine dining experience (if you can't tell from the waiter's lederhosen), but it is hearty food that will leave you feeling satisfied. The Jaeger Schnitzel is a favourite ($20) which is a massive veal or chicken schnitzel served with mushroom sauce, potato rosti and a side of cabbage. If you are on the smaller side, you could share this meal between two people. Recently Una's has started a home delivery service (yes all you hungover people, this is the best news you have heard all day!). They have partnered with Suppertime who will deliver you a Jager Schnizel for an extra $8.50.
Every now and then, you may have the urge to give the 2 finger salute to the Atkins diet, and going to a German restaurant is usually a pretty efficient way of doing that! To be exact, Una's is a German-Austrian-Swiss restaurant but basically, it's what you'd expect from German food. Now, some people like prompt service, however on this occasion, the prompt service bordered on rude. I know the German's are known for efficiency but you'd at least expect to be able to finish your starter before they brought your main course! Our starters of deepfried camembert ($8.90) and pea and ham soup ($7.50) were tasty, but we'd barely had time to swallow it before they were whisked away and replaced by our hefty mains. My pork knuckle with rosti and sauerkraut ($20.90) was ok but didn't blow me away, which was a shame because I'd been told it was a winner, but the pork turned out to be overly dry and the crackling was below par (you have to get that bit right at least!). The chicken schnitzel ($17.90), although big, wasn't anything particularly special. And much like the first course, they couldn't seem to get us out the door quick enough! It wasn't even that busy!
It doesn't get much more authentic then this German and Austrian restaurant in Darlinghurst from the hand paintings on your chair, the tiles on the floor and the schnitzels on your plate. The servings at this place are huge and delicious. Starters include dishes such as pea and ham soup, crumbed mushrooms and deep fried Camembert (yes deep fried Camembert). Prices are reasonable especially considering the size! You just can't go past the Vienna schnitzel with potato rosti and of course their schnapps.
I've been regular at Una's for many years. I know many people think there's better, but I do love me a Chicken Jaeger Schnitzel from Una's. When arriving you're usually ushered in with great precision by a snappy little fella in a pair of Lederhosen, no messing about, it's all business & schnitzel. Most people know what they're going to eat before they even get there & usually your eyes are bigger than your stomach. Never fear order up & there's take away boxes available! Una's has a great selection of beers, or there's a bottle shop of the road if you'd rather to BYO with a bottle of wine. I tend to try & not drink too much beer here for the fear of filling up & not having room for my Schnitz. I've tried a few of the starters, Deep Fried Camembert, a decadent delight. The Dutch Beef Croquets are a favourite shared amongst friends & topped with a little of the mustard located on the table - yum yum! The mains, well it's hard to go past the Schnitzel! I've been here with friends & watched them order other great plates, such as the Una's Beef Goulash, with Spatzle. I'd love to try it some time, however I'm always drawn to the golden schnitzel. I've had the Vienna Schnitzel, & the Chicken, my favourite dish at Una's would have to be the Chicken Jaegar Schnitzel, served with mushroom sauce, rosti & a cabbage salad on the side. It's so HUGE you wonder how you're going to get through, I must admit though I usually do. I have to admit I even had an occasion where we were pressed for time as were going to a concert & had stopped in for a bite.. My sister said we haven't got long we'd better eat quickly. I think I ate that schnitzel like I was at the world class Hot Dog eating competition at Coney Island. No sooner had I finished my meal (in record time) that the patron's on the adjacent table commented on how well & quickly I'd gotten through it. I was a little embarrassed, but proudly so, lol! ;-) go ME! If you decide to get a take away box, or open the second stomach there's always a serve of Una's Apple Strudel & Ice-cream to top it all off, why not get one share it, just to try. So pack your stretchy pants & visit Una's, the perfect place to enjoy a schnitzel with friends especially in the cold winter months. read more

The perfect hangover cure!!! Schnitzels the size of your head drowned in jäger sauce. Pork knuckles the size of a baby and a plethora of different types of beers. The service is rather slap happy but that doesn't bother me at all. The food never takes very long and it's so filling. My last attempt at the chicken jäger schnitzel was so dismal I was very disappointed in myself. However was rather happy later that day as I took it home and it was super tasty. If you're looking for a meaty feast that's fast and delicious Una is your lady!! read more
