    The simplicity is the best thing about this place. Order from a range of top quality sausages, stick it in a fresh bun, add some fried onions and sauces and you will leave with a smile on your face. Read more

    A very cool restaurant. If you like the famous German sausage (Currywurst) you can find one of the best ones in London here. It was a bit salty, though. Overall: a cool experience

    Extra seating downstairs so don't worry if its full upstairs...brokwurst was delicious but order a side of sauerkraut as you don't get a lot on the sausage!

    Top draw wurst and reasonable prices. Great for a quick bite. Much more interesting and filling than fast food chains and for the same or less money. Serves bottled German beers too

    They ran out of schnitzel quite early (abt 6pm?!) so we were stuck with having 3 different kinds of wurst. Still tastes good though. Curry is good for mopping up with your chips!

    Great Bratwurst! Not the most authentic but filthy and delicious. Curry sauce is good. They also sell Fritz Kola.

    Best place in London to eat würst out of Germany. Sauerkraut is not too good, could be better. Also you can enjoy Fritz Kola :)

    Wonderful Berlin Wurst in the heart of London. Watch out for the spicy sauce

    The hot wurst (above mild) is good but not very hot. Overall a great spot for a quick, inexpensive bite. Serves beer. Schnitzel looked interesting

    Ze Wilde Bockwurst is an absolute winner. Awesome sausage, crusty roll and baked chips.

    Sadly they had run our of schnitzel last night. But the chilli wurst made up for the disappointment. Freshly made, hot and delicious. The melon flavoured lemonade was average.

    We had the Kasekrainer with fries and two beers. Would have liked a bit more help from the staff when we ordered. They have ketchup on the table but no mustard. Overall an OK experience.

    Hungry? You're in the right place! Go for the chilliwurst (double, +£2) with chips. And a beer, if you're feeling in the mood...

    There's a plug socket by the middle table against the wall, in case you need to charge your phone or whatever - but I guess if you do, you might not see this anyway. Is this Inception?

    Appears to be more choice than Villiers Street (& they do alcohol)

    Much improved (over the Villiers St branch) by having a toilet and beer - the natural combo...

    I don’t know what happened to this place. Used to be a great spot for quick snack and a beer. Now it’s more of a half baked tourist spot with slow & clueless service. Avoid.

    The German people have perpetrated many crimes but their sausages aren't one of them.

    Make sure u haven't washed your hair or clothes before coming here as you will leave stinking like a 15 year old frying pan. They need serious ventilation up in here! The food isn't worth the smell.

    Fairly expensive but very good. Curry hotness scale is mild, I went for "burning" - wasn't particularly hot.
