Ordering Strategy

Go for the sandwiches if you want a hearty meal, or the aubergine for a surprising veggie win; avoid the beef.

What to order

Safe first

Aubergine Schnitzel

To the critic's surprise, this was a favorite; it is described as 'beautifully squashy, sliced through, fanned out and the tail left on prettily.'

Hungry

Chicken Schnitzel Challah Sandwich

A 'huge' and 'delicious' portion for £14. It offers an 'almost perfect bite' described as 'snuggling into a duvet' with 'juicy hot flesh,' 'sexy garlic mayo,' and a 'clang of fermented lemon.'

Wildcard

Parmesan fries

One of the specific side options recommended to accompany the 'huge' main portions, which are all encased in a 'lovely, dry, golden, quite large-grained crumb.'

What to skip

Skip
Beef Schnitzel— Giles Coren found this to be a failure, arguing that 'beef wants to be cooked naked, briefly, and eaten red' rather than being breaded and fried.
