Essen Restaurant

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

The range of food and beer was popular with the group

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.

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 :)

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

Essen is best German restaurant. We love it! The schnitzels are so generous, Apple strudel is to die for! warm pretzels yuuum...! pork crackling amazing!

Great food as always. Attentive staff and wonderful atmosphere. I have been here many times and will continue to come back. Sundays and earlier in the week and best if you don't like it too crowded.

The waitstaff were nice but we got the one entree we ordered half way through our main meal. definitely not the best german resaurant I have been to and won't go out of my way to go again.

Essen is one of our local restaurants and we have dined there quite a few times. The service is always good and the the staff are very friendly. They know their food and can recommend something you are sure to enjoy. The variety of beers are good too.

Great mushroom spätzle! Probably the best in Sydney! Veal schnitzel consists of 2 huge well cooked pieces served with rosti. Very satisfying meal! Finished with Apple Strudel served with nice vanilla ice cream and cream anglaise and also Vienna Kaffe. Good service. Will definitely come back!

Great schnitzel and beer. Service was good and food came really quickly. Nice atmosphere and table setting. I would definitely go back to eat again.

Nice environment , delicious meat platter , want to try everything. Must come again next time. Better to recommence more friends to have a party.

There was a wide variety of interesting dishes on the menu. The traditional German servings of Knuckles, Sauerkraut and red cabbage as well as the authentic German Pretzels for starters were some of the choices. The servings were very generous, the tender schnitzel filled the whole plate. The service and atmosphere was very welcoming.

Great fresh food with good portions. Waitress was kind and friendly.

This is the best prices German restaurant around. The food is outstanding and the staff are welcoming and always amazing. Great international beer there too!

Great German food, the meat were amazing, you can leave your teeth at home as the meat just melts, expensive for a weekday dinner but well with it, I give it 5/5 / you won't leave hungry!

Good portions of food. Will make me return. Bad smell from toilet / plumbing was a put off but got to sit a fair distance away which helped.

Excellent food and great service.Great range of beers available and schnapps the best. Not bad wine list either.Absolutely the best fried camembert we have ever had

Great food and far more than we could eat! The service was very good and our waiter's suggestions were spot on. Go with an appetite. Absolutely recommended.

Don't sit near the loos - eeeegad the smell. We moved and enjoyed our lunch - the food was delicious. Huge serves and now I have leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Yeehhaaaa

It was still a fun experience. But I was let down as my request I'd written during booking was approved by the restaurant before I'd arrived, and I had booked about a month in advance. The restaurant didn't fulfil my request of a happy birthday song and got the dessert wrong as well.

Great, authentic atmosphere, efficient, friendly service and delicious, hearty, BIG PORTIONS of Germanic food. Great for groups or a dinner for two. The dutch croquettes, fried camembert, pork knuckle, schnitzels & sausage platters are all delicious!

Excellent service from staff, delicious sausage platter and brezel,pork knuckle was cooking nicely, skin was crispy and but the seasoning on the meat could be better, as my one tasted a little plain. Overall it's a fantastic restaurant for sausage lover and beer lover of course.

Good ambience and good eat. No complains. Worth every penny. Went with my partner and had a quality time there. Would recommend highly for beer lovers. Good selections!

Gr8 service, gr8 family restaurant as usual ordered too much food.

nice staff, excellent food, better beer and prices that are to be expected for the quality of what you receive. I will most certainly return and with friends.
