Essen Restaurant

The service was very good. The decore is very nice. We loved the spatzel. It is real spatzel, not just some short spagettie, which some places call spetzle. The rosti and cabbage were also very good. The salmon was cooked well. We appreciated their flexibility.

Food and service superb. Voucher made value even better. Try the mixed platter for two-if you have the courage! Strudel excellent and great selection of beers.

Excellent staff and great food. HUGE portions so forego entree. Parking was no hassle in nearby TAFE carpark at reasonable cost. Recommended as a good family venue.

Extremely generous serves for the dishes, a good range of beers to choose from, friendly and attentive service, relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended for casual gatherings.

Unbelievable value where the terms were different and more generous than what the voucher stated which was only 2.5 meals. 6 person meals including drinks up to the value of $306 was generous. Best voucher experience I have had. And the food and service was really good. Will tell friends and family.

The staff were very friendly, warning us the servings are large and helped us choose our orders. The Pea & Ham soup was nice but a bit over salty so I couldn't finish it. The staff asked the reason, went straight to warn the kitchen, then offered a replacement - a very nice touch which we declined. The Pork Knucke we had as main was better than at others restaurants we tried - juicy inside and crunchy outside. I loved the Black Forest Mousse Cake, creamy and light. I even bought an extra one to take home!

amazing food and the selection of beers and schnapps are pretty good. I recommend the peach one! definitely coming back again. And kudos to the staff too, they are super friendly

Food was great Service excellent New manger is a great guy on top of everything, The store has improved and servings very generous Bravo! Keep up the good work fellows

The best food restaurant and for services, staff need more professional as they chat each other's during busy times. Well im still be back there as The restaurant are my favorite for the last 15 yrs .

Food was excellent and the servings were very large. Drinks were fairly priced. the service could not be faulted and all 8 of us had a very good time.

There are not many meal choses in the menu. Overprices. Other German restaurants are better in my opinion. Portions are small. Customer service is really good.

Another really yum dinner at Essen restaurant. We had the meat platter for 2 and all of it was perfectly cooked and deliciously tasty. Service was very friendly and nothing was to much trouble. Definitely be visiting again.

Great service and attention to detail. The food was yummy and made well. Lots of drink choices of European flavours. A very enjoyable experience and will happily go again.

Im German and this was the best German food I had in Australia. Very authentic! The service was very friendly. I definitely come back now that I know of this great quality.

Food was very good and service was excellent. Location is great and we liked the heritage building. Next time I will try the pear William Schnapps. Thank you Geoff for a good evening.

Traditional fare done very well. It has great schnitzel at a very reasonable price and good service. Fantastic choice for colder evenings. Will definitely go again.

Great food and generous meal portions and great service Loved it and will go again Will definitely recommend for lunch and will take friends there

Very Good. The food was well served, quickly and was beautifully cooked and presented. The service was friendly and exceptional. The atmosphere was like being in Germany.

GREAT:) BUT NOT THE BEST IF I HAVE TO BE HONEST.. BUT NICE EXPERIENCE TO DO SOMETHING NEW... NICE ENVIRONMENT NICE SERVICE, BUT FOOD WAS NOT AMAZING THOUGH ..JUST MY LITTLE OPINION:) MARTINI

Great food and really generous servings. Also has great atmosphere. Worth checking out, but skip lunch if you do, as the servings are big and hearty.

Great food Great service Massive servings and quality is high Much improved from the past Great value, Seems like new owners and much better than before

Mains took an hour to arrive but food was good. Schnitzel is much smaller than it used to be, but in fairness it used to be way too big.

love the food at this restaurant! best pork crackle ever! have been here a couple of times and have always enjoyed the meal, even our kids who are very fussy eaters. Definitely be returning.

One of my favourite restaurants - best schnitzels in Sydney! Loved the Dutch croquettes as well. And a lovely European atmosphere, great service as well.

Very good value for the portion you get and the staff was polite and friendly. The food was very tasty. Keep up the good work.

Lunch was just the best, had a variety of meat dishes on a plate for 2, plenty of food and great taste. Would definitely be going back and recommend Essens to friends.

The food was excellent. Thumbs-up from our German friend. The service was excellent - friendly & patient staff and the food arrived in a very timely manner. We plan to go back.

Booking was correct, prompt service and food serving, tasty meal and unforgetable presentation, would urely come back again. Pork cracklings were beautiful and crunchy. Keep it up guys

Really not a great experience tonight, God super average although the service was quick. Will really have up their game if they want to keep customers happy.

Amazing every time, the main waiter is fabulous. He deserves a raise:) The schnitzels are huge and most times we can hardly finish. Will return

Been before and will return again! Food is never a disappointment and serving sizes are huge. Highly recommend the sharing platter for 2 people to get a great variety of different things to taste.

Outstanding service and food Have been there for the past few years and the food quality was ok But now it is exceptionally great with larger portions and fresher ingredients Well done to the new owners

We had a fabulous date night at Essen Restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was excellent, friendly yet professional! The pork crackling entree is warm, crunchy and deliciously light, the pulled pork spätzle reminded me of my late grandmother's cooking. The pork sausages with the sauerkraut were divine and the giant 1 litre beer from th tap was beautiful. I was also happy to see absinthe on the menu, which I love, and it was served perfectly, with care!

After twice trying to drop by being told they were booked out, I pre-booked Essen on Quandoo, so when we turned up they were expecting us. We were welcomed and service was quick and friendly. I asked the waiter for a recommendation as I hadn't been there before and he recommended their pulled pork German "pasta" dish. (I can't remember the real name for it). It was delicious and I ate every morsel, it was so yummy. (I'm tiny so was too full to try dessert after). My partner had the sausage tasting plate featuring 4 different sausages which he enjoyed as well. We will definitely revisit. Was pleasant atmosphere, very popular (every table full) and the other dishes looked great too.

Freindly service with great food and in a nice homely feeling resturant. Pork knuckle is very filling i must say, and was nice of them to offer a container to take the rest home!

The food is really warm and great. Definitely bringing my wife next time to enjoy some beer and veal sni. Also, the pork belly and knuckle seems so nice.

The range of food and beer was popular with the group

Food was well presented, the staffs were really helpful and gave us very good recommendation on the food choices! we all quite like the restaurant ambiance.

Great food choices, we have try more than 3 different dishes,we were quite impressed with the chef skills! enjoy the special drinks was on offered!

Very good beef ribs, if a bit fatty. The pork knuckle was quite big and I always enjoy the crispy and salty skin. I would recommend this to everyone.

Service was friendly and the food was good. We had the pork crackling to start then pork belly and veal schnitzel. We were very full afterwards as the portions are generous.

I really enjoy the dinner, the high light is the super Awesome pork knuckle! Me and my friends love the friendly staff and good services.

The food was delicious, although the rosti was bland and not cooked in places. But the staff were below average. We even had to move as no-one had come to take our drink order where we were sitting. They seemed new and stressed although it was a fairly normal Saturday night. Pity because the pork belly is amazing!

Very nice, friendly and attentive service with a smile. The food we ordered was ready quickly and hearty to match the large quantities of beer I guzzled.

I did not think that Essen was particularly friendly or authentic. It certainly needs a better German beer selection on tap. The food was decent enough though.

The food was amazing, the hospitality was good and the atmosphere was wonderful! The portions were huge, the setting was nice and cosy! Will be coming back for sure :)

The service is ok, but the food took quite long time to come out. The pork knucle was crispy and savoury, the lamb shoulder was tender.

The food was really Nice tonight. Everyone was happy, our table had schnitzels, pork knuckle and salmon. The strudel was amazing, hot with ice cream. The service was 5 out of 5 as well. Will be back

really nice service, food was good, amount of food was outrageous. As it was my birthday, i got a complimentare apple strudel after the meal which was really surprising and nice. Good food if youre craving that german kind of food!

Great service. Pork knuckle was very crispy and had good flavor. Pork Schnitzel was also very good. Beer list is impressive. Great value also. Serving size is massive.
