Top 30 Best Authentic german cuisine in London

“When I visited this establishment I ate in and ordered a Boss Box, which contained a mixed meat kebab, a portion of cheesy bites (you can have 2x kebab spring rolls instead-also good), a little portion of chips a drink and 3 sauce pots for £10. It was tasty, filling and value for money. I will be going back again.”

“Loved the kebab here. Really tasty and loads of different varieties. The only thing I would say is they are a bit tight on the meat. Looks great from the front, no filling at the back. Other than that it's well made and good quality.”

“Good food, relatively inexpensive, friendly staff on the odd occasion we needed to contact them. Best German doner kebab in the area - by far.”

“Great customer service and amazing food which is full of flavour”

“I went to this branch yesterday and all I can say was good things!! The staff was very kind and helpful and the food was perfect, hot and delicious :)) The atmosphere was vibrant and warm, and i would bring my family next time I'm here. I would really recommend eating their food!”

“Great sausages, with the expected German condiments. The only small negative is that the eat in is next to the main road owing to their location.”

“The area needed a good donner place glad this has opened. Tasty food similar to gdk. Keep it up guys.”

“I've been there last week. The food was very good quality and the portions were very filling even on a hungry stomach. The prices are not bad at all. They mainly serve schnitzels (hence the name), but there are lots of varieties on the menu. I had Napolitan and my wife had the one that comes with potatoes on it. We were both very satisfied. I will surely be back to try other versions too.”

“An unbelievable Special Schnitzel, the best I've had in my 23 years of being on this earth. Chicken was A* quality and extremely tasty, also cooked to perfection. The bread was delicious, very soft and didn't fall apart while eating. The coleslaw was unbelievable, it wasn’t too watery like most are in sandwiches, it also added great flavour. The cheese was also very good and was melted into the schnitzel, Delicious! I would highly recommend going for lunch here. Lastly an extremely fair price compared to other places in London!”

“Super great food and service! The environment was great! The ribs were absolutely amazing, so tender and the fries were great!”

“I and my Portuguese friend visited the Lakehouse this lovely sunny Sunday. We were so amazed by the homemade chicken pate and goualsh and chicken soup were also very yummy. We recommend that ask some bread for goulash soup. They served the soups in rustic bowls. The mains are very fullfilling and big portions. Always go for parsley potatoes instead of chips! It is worth a lot. And the desserts? Mmmm you have a few choices. Hungarian crepes, Hungarian trifle, chestnut puree with fruits and whipping cream. For drink: I tasted their lemonade. I really loved it. The interior of the restaurant is beautiful, cosy and handmade decorated. If you can, and have had experience within just share it with your friends and family.”

“Food was unbelievable and host on door was great/ and welcoming/very friendly. Highly recommend, will be returning.”

“Such a romantic restaurant! I truly love the atmosphere. Their food were all really scrumptious and hearty. I will definitely be coming back to try other dishes again.”

“Amazing kebabs, done German style like German Doner Kebab but even better. Great value, often have offers on if you phone/pop in or order from their own app. Good variety on menu with lovely side options. Run by really friendly people with great banter :) deffo worth a try”

“I hired the downstairs space for my husbands 40th Birthday celebration. The communication with the event planner was fluid and easy, and on the day of the celebration everything was beyond expectations. The space is beautiful and full of natural light. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and on top of every detail. I would like to thank Ainhoa, Amanda and Adam for looking after us so well. We were around 35 people, and had the buffet menu. The food was really nice, everyone was happy. I 100% recommend this venue.”

“I looked around to find some doner and this popped up. It was great. Good meal deal with a sandwich, chips and a drink. The only problem I had was that my stomach isn't big enough. It's a lot of food and is perfect! Go here!”

“This place was great! Authentic German restaurant with nice outlook over the river. Wait staff dressed accordingly and everyone was very welcoming. It’s very meat based (as would be expected) but they have some veggie/vegan options which my friends enjoyed. I had sausages, mash and sauerkraut which was yum! And of course all the beer and wine is German too. Recommend booking ahead as it gets busy - but we were luckily able to get a walk-in on a Saturday night. We were in the smoking area outside but no one was actually smoking. Tables are big and good for groups. Will be back!”

“We had some excellent food here, now our favourite in East London! It's authentic in atmosphere and menu, staff is very friendly and helpful and the prices are absolutely okay. We definitely will come back and try the other things they got. Would give 10 out of 5 stars!”

“Great place, cracking atmosphere, been in the same location since it's launch, my family have been regular patrons over the years, the cuisine is true to the Austro-Hungarian borders, good produce cooked and presented well, would really like to see Zwetchgenknödel on the dessert menu, as this alongside Wiener Schnitzel Mit Kartoffel, Gurken und Zwiwbelsalat, is a memory of my childhood. Don't blink or be put off that the one door entrance is not as grand as some others, the place is a proper tardis, and we'll worth the exploration, you will not be disappointed.”

“Diverse Austrian menu, not just Viennese but also hearty Alpine fare. The lentils with ham is especially satisfying but there are any of number of savoury dishes, plus Austrian cakes and pastries to die for. And also a proper Austrian wine list including labels hard to find outside of Österreich.”

“Truly great Nepalese, that was one of the best dinners I have ever had. We got the lamb and the duck and both were absolutely incredible. The service was immaculate and the atmosphere comfortable.”

“We were heading to a gig later in the evening, and wanted to have a pre-drink and some nibbles. So when we were passing by, decided to check out this place, as from outside it looked small but people kept coming out and back. It was pleasant surprise, as restaurant turned out to be spacious, nice decor and buzzing atmosphere. Staff was friendly and very efficient even they were extremely busy. All tapas were delicious and good choice of wine. Definitely place to come back!”

“Had a great experience at Iberica Marylebone. It was my fiancé’s birthday and I messaged ahead letting them know. They were so lovely giving us a drink on the house on arrival and a brilliant experience throughout which made it so special. Boris was the perfect waiter and was very attentive. Food is not cheap but is delicious and you get a mixture of standard and premium tapas. We enjoyed everything, thank you Iberica!”

“Great place in Westminster! Their sharing plates are HUGE! Food is amazing and would recommend to anyone who needs a stein of beer, soft pretzel, and great German sausage!”

“Excellent experience at Steins! Very delicious food and drinks and highly recommend. It felt like we were on holiday. The vibe is cosy and relaxed with a minimalist ‘ski chalet’ decor. I enjoyed a delicious German organic Riesling (Burg Ravensburg Riesling, Baden), and my partner had a range of draught German beers (Dunkel, Weisser Hirsch, & Adlerkönig). We ordered the Bratwurst with sauerkraut, the duck confit, and the roast butternut squash and beetroot salad. The menu is excellent and we’ll have to return for the fondue and sharing platters! For starters we had a bowl of olives, cornichons and pickled onions (though it was mostly olives with a few cornichons and no onions), and a bread basket with warm rolls and a pretzel and packets of butter. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and the restaurant felt clean. Food came at slightly odd times but only because the mains were very quick to cook. We did order the Sachertorte for pudding, but it never arrived. Despite that, we had a lovely evening and the food was very delicious and well presented.”
