About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
  • Good for groups
At SCHNITI, we believe a great schnitzel deserves the spotlight.

SCHNITI is a restaurant dedicated to doing one thing exceptionally well. Crispy, golden, and made fresh to order, our schnitzels are the heart of everything we do.

We take premium cuts, pound them thin, crumb them by hand, and cook them until they're perfectly golden. From traditional favourites to indulgent loaded creations, every schnitzel is built to be shared, photographed, talked about, and most importantly, enjoyed.

But SCHNITI is about more than just what's on the plate.

Big Crunch, Italian Soul, Australia Attitude.

    Very pricey. The wait for drinks was over 1 hr. Kitchen staff were very loud shouting. Salad serving and dips were very small and not worth the price. Was so looking forward to the new venue being so close to my home. Very disappointed
    SchnitiResponded on October 13, 2026
    Hi Narrelle, We're genuinely sorry to hear that your first visit to SCHNITI fell so far short of your expectations, particularly when you had been looking forward to experiencing our new venue. We would appreciate the opportunity to look into your visit further and better understand what happened. Please feel welcome to contact our management team at (info@elementsgroup) with your reservation details so we can review your concerns personally. We appreciate you bringing these matters to our attention and sincerely regret that your first experience with SCHNITI was not the one we had hoped to deliver. Warm Regards, Schniti Team

    It was incredibly crowded with very loud music and felt quite chaotic. Some of our dishes were excellent, others solid without anything special about them, and quite expensive. Lots of staff, but hard to get their attention when needed.
    SchnitiResponded on October 13, 2026
    Hi Rebecca, We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed some of our dishes and appreciated the quality of our food and service. We're sorry, however, that the atmosphere felt a little overwhelming during your visit. Our Haberfield venue can become quite lively during busy periods, but we understand that comfort and attentive service are just as important as the food itself. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the menu and overall value. It's disappointing that not every dish met your expectations, and we'll certainly take your comments into consideration. We hope to welcome you back for a more relaxed and enjoyable dining experience. Warm Regards, Elements Team

    Schnitzel good quality but stacking in a small plate led to difficulty in managing the meal. Too noisy suggest buffering to limit loudness. Waitress had a strong accent hence difficulty in understanding & felt rushed to meet the sitting deadline!! Maître D was pleasant Habib
    SchnitiResponded on October 6, 2026
    Dear Maurice, Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the quality of the schnitzel, and we appreciate you recognising Habib for his pleasant service. We’re sorry to hear that the presentation made the meal difficult to manage and that the noise level affected your experience. We also understand your comments regarding communication with your waitress and the feeling of being rushed during your allocated dining time. We’ll share this feedback with our team so we can look at how we can make the experience more comfortable and enjoyable for our guests. We appreciate your honest feedback and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a more relaxed experience. #BestSchnitzelSydney #BestPastaSydney #SydneyFood

    Hi Wayne, We’re sorry your experience that evening left you disappointed. Unfortunately, weather conditions impacted seating times, and our team continued doing our best to communicate the delay and accommodate everyone, with many guests understanding and allowing us the additional time needed. We’re sorry you chose to leave before we had the opportunity to accommodate you. I personally emailed you the following morning to apologize and offer another opportunity to experience SCHNITI, but unfortunately we did not receive a response. While we understand your frustration, we would have appreciated the opportunity to address this directly. You are still welcome to respond to my email so we can discuss this further.

    Schnitzels were apparently good, other dishes sub par at best (and very expensive). A very popular restaurant, though, as is evidenced by the incredibly loud environment (couldn't talk to your peers). Staff were very busy - we weren't asked about drink orders, and it was very slow. My seafood pasta dish came with 3 awful mussels (disintegrated inside, I didn't eat them) and sand from the pipis, and a tiny bowl (though the flavour was okay) for just under $40. Drinks were watered down (spritz was just sugar) and overall price was exorbitant for what you got. Also not sure why you're asked if it's a special occasion when there's no effort made to acknowledge it (birthday). Lastly, we were seated (our table of 7) under a crazy intense blast air con, and when asked to adjust it, were told yes but it never was. Was super uncomfortable. We also got our food more than 5 mins apart (and drinks), my pasta was cold before the schnitzels came out. Just honestly feels like a money making machine. Sydney has far better than this.
    SchnitiResponded on September 27, 2026
    Hi Natalie, we’re genuinely sorry that your visit left you feeling this disappointed. The experience you described is not the level of service or hospitality we aim to provide at SCHNITI. Our team did make efforts to assist with your requests. We’re very sorry that this came across differently or made you feel uncomfortable. We have also reached out to you privately as we would really value the opportunity to better understand your experience and speak with you directly. We sincerely hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back
