"A great time in this restaurant, with great service. A lot of choice to order from but I went with the classic veal schnitzel and a beer. No regrets, even though it seems expensive, the quantity is a lot to handle solo ! Good experience in Berlin"

"I had lunch at Faustus Schnitzel Haus in Berlin and really enjoyed the experience. The schnitzel was perfectly cooked — crispy on the outside and tender inside, with generous portions. The side dishes were tasty and complemented the meal well. The restaurant has a cozy, traditional German atmosphere, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Overall, it was a satisfying and authentic schnitzel experience — definitely worth a visit if you’re in Berlin."

"Really great Schnitzel. Also love that they have "German Tapas", such a fun thing. It's cozy but a little noisy if bigger groups are around."

"Absolutely spectacular! We were sat down, ordered and recieved the food in the span of 10 minutes. The server we had also had amazing English, which was great for us as British Tourists. As we were trying Schnitzel for the first time, it was beautiful. The breading was scrumptious and the meat was tasty. Drinks were a little expensive at around €3 for a 0,2l bottle of coke and (if i recall correctly) €6 for a 0,25l can of Red Bull, but the quality of the food made it worth it. If we ever come back to Berlin again, we will definitely come by again!"
