Essen Restaurant

Great service, the food tasted amazing, we didn't have to wait too long and tom was a really nice waiter. I can only recommend it

Great food and variety of dishes with generous portion sizes you would associate with hearty German fare. Staff were friendly and helpful. Will definitely return.

Food was great. My friends were happy. It was my friends' first time at that restaurant so and they said they will definitely be back again.

I haven't been there for a while. The pork knuckle seemed much bigger than I remembered, maybe pigs these days are getting bigger, not that I'm complaining of course. It was very crispy outside and soft inside, just what a knuckle should be. I'm still not used to the Sauerkraut, due to its sauerness. However, the purple cabbage "Sauerkraut" was not so sour.

One of the best German meals my wife and I have enjoyed. Good value, service was great and excellent choices of beer. Will definitely be returning.

Friendly staff members, great atmosphere, excellent customer service. Best of all, generous serving size! Must try the pork knuckle! Ordered 4 of those and wasnt able to finish it, and had them taken away. Would come back again

Great food, great service, lousy parking, but not their fault. The first time I have not been able to eat a Pork Knuckle, mine was superb and large.

Helpful staff and food was hearty with a European flair, was busy so wait was a little long although staff were happy to assist where needed

A most enjoyable experience! Very good food and beer - lovely old sandstone building. The wait staff were friendly - my wife said it's the best Pork Knuckle, Spatzli and sauerkraut she's ever had.

Food was fabulous and service was reasonably good. Love the pork belly so much and my wife cannot wait to visit this restaurant again soon in the future

The meal was amazing, very large portions too! Atmosphere was also great..

Initial issues with booking; booked online but difficult to confirm as phone line was "crackling " and too much noise in the background Food was absolutely amazing and lovely german waitress Mina was great. We had one of the scoopon vouchers and that was not a problem and very good value for money Beer was great too

It was great. The food and service was excellent and the restaurant it self was lovely and clean. We would definitely go back their and recommend it to our friends.

Excellent beer and good food. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Wait staff was more than friendly and the restaurant was visually appealing and clean.

Very good service and excellent food. The Pork knuckle tasted great. Great to taste a more authentic Sauerkraut. Nice atmosphere in the restaurant. Good job

excellent food and service. Love the lamb shoulder and pork knuckle. The only thing is to note is that if you bring your own cake, you have to either buy a certain amount of dessert per table or pay 3aud per head for consuming your own cake.

Excellent restaurant... The food are always lovely. Love the ambience of the place. I have never been to Germany, but I guess it will be something like this.

Dish is good but not value wise considering the restaurant is relatively priced. environment is good. stuff are very friendly and nice. credit card machine not working properly so have to pay cash.

Food was excellent just a little hiccup for the service but that was a busy night so it's forgiving. We've been waiting for more than 30 min to get our meal after complaining and found out they actually didn't put our order through. They upgrade my beer from 300ml to 500ml as an apology.

Service was good but food was average. Had the pork belly which could have been more tender. Restaurant ambience was pleasant and had a busy atmosphere.

pleasant atmosphere, service was excellent ,some how it was taken quite sometime for main course almost half an hour waitting but overall we are happy about the restaurant.

Good food！Nice service！Everything was fantastic, and I would go to Essen for dinner whenever I want to have meet! It is really a good choice!

Great food and great service! The mushroom spaetzle was fantastic and I saw that everyone else ordered the pork knuckle, must be a favourite. Will try it out next time!

Pork belly was absolutely delicious and I tried a lychee cider which was equally as great! Sat at the end of a long shared table which was strange and everyone in the restaurant seemed to be using vouchers - an enjoyable dinner!

Quality of food ??? For the prices they charging should be better. They forgot ingredient from the $68 dish ! Pork was stringy and dry. Goulash on the other hand was superb. There was some annoying music coming out of speekers.

A fabulous experience...food is great value and delicious...staff are friendly and attentive. A great place for small and large groups of people. Will certainly return.

Despite showing up 1/2 hour earlier than booked time, restaurant had no problems accommodating. Friendly staff, great European beers and tasty food...especially the perfectly cooked pork knuckle with lots of crackly. If you are into cream brulee you might want to save some room for their giantnormous sized serving of this yummy dessert. We've been to this restaurant a few times and using a scoopon deal did not detract from a great nite out.

Beer was good, food was good. Although it lacked the atmosphere of similar restaurants such as Bavarian Bier Cafe and Lowenbrau. Would recommend the pork Crackling.

The atmosphere was great and the menu was enough to give a good selection of german cuisine and not overwhelming. Food was delicious and authentic; and the service was attentive without intruding.

Very good food and good service. Also recommendations suggested were great. Definitely recommend this place to fiends and family. Will be going back again. Thanks

The food was delicious especially I enjoyed dessert. But their service was disappointing. There are no waiters to call when you need them. We needed to wait a lot to be taken our order. We asked container for taking away food and the waiter forgot. I could see many customers were stressed because of this. And I see the waiter was very rude to the customers who was asking something. They also ask "Do you want to leave any tips ?" . If customers want and satisfied, they do. Please don't ask. Overall, I was dissapointed.

I used scoopon voucher which entitled me to get about 50% discount. The food was great and fresh. WE received a friendly service. Definitely a good deal.

Skip the commercial theatrical beer cafés and head to the real deal. Great food. Great beer. Walking distance from Sydney central and a lovely walk down.

Food was delicious, Welcome from the staff was impressive, it took little longer for the food to arrive as the restaurant was busy. Will go again.

We are very please evening with the Great food , good choice of beers, as well as restaurant welcome & friendly staffs provide very good services.

It was first time we had experience dinner at German food restaurant, The place is great & all the staf friendly ... the food yummy especially the pork belly & sausages platter 👍👍

For a very busy Friday night, the service was outstanding and the food even better. The veal schnitzel was definitely a highlight. We will be back.

The pork knuckle was dry and staff didn't seem to care. We paid and left we will never return. Shame we just moved into the area,Essen loss.

Great food. Generous portion. Had the meat platter for 2. It was delicious. Highly recommended for those who wants to try various German foods. Staffs were friendly. Great German beer selection too.

Great food, great service. Could perhaps be a little more traditional and serve dumplings with the roast pork. But the schnitzel and the Gulasch we're fantastic.
