Hi, I had been looking forward to trying this place as it looks great but was disappointed. I went before the lunchtime rush a week ago and ordered a Bratwurst only as I have little money. The bun was cold and quite stale, the Bratwurst itself was cold and the sauerkraut was cold: so rammed it down and got out... More

Working in London for a week I walk past this "Shnelly" every morning and decided, along with my wife to give it a go. Great German eatery and the sausages are superb. Clean and tidy. Friendly staff and the curry wurst was so authentic I though I was stood outside the Shnelly at Geordies bar in Sennelager cica 1988! Thank... More

I was on my way to a meeting today, and as I had time I detoured to a stamp shop. But having found Herman ze German and smelt the bratwursts cooking on the griddle, I had to enter. I am a huge fan of the humble German bratwurst in any form, especially as a curry wurst. I ordered curry wurst... More

Came across this quirky German sausage eaterie on our way to Embankment. The sausages were very meaty and tasty and come with options for sauerkraut, crispy onions and mustard. The rolls were fresh and all in all a tasty quick snack. The place is a bit quirky with amusing signage and selling their own logo t-shirts. The staff all sounded... More

Funky little spot near all the tourist spots. Easy in and out for a quick bite. Bratwurst had a nice snap biting into it and the roll was fresh with a nice crunch. Topping with sauerkraut,crispy onions and mustard makes for an easy power up on the way to more walking and tourist stuff. I'd suggest stopping on the way... More

I used to work near here & watching my weight had to endure those around me on the desk demolishing sausages & chips from here with considerable envy. Finally went in for bratwurst & healthy chips & have to say I thought it was brilliant. Went the whole hog (or dog) with sauerkraut , fried onions & mustard & loved... More

I used to live very close to Herman ze German and used to have a sausage at least once a week! Hands down the best German sausages in London. In fact, I was recently in Berlin and could not find a sausage place that topped it! It should be made a London major attraction :-)

We had to currysausage meals with french fries and two tea. The suasage was cold, the base curry sauce was tasteless, the french fries hard as nails and the tea - the simplest of those things more like washing up water, because they used a bucket of water with no branded tea. Not exactly, what we call Quality. Very careless... More

The best place you can just run into... Me and my husband were taking a walk in the Westminster area and just happened to spot this great place. It's small but the food is delicious and the interior is very amusing.
