If you're thinking of trying this place, do yourself a favor and don’t — unless you’re just in the mood for a decent salad sides.
I called over 30 times to place an order ahead, knowing they take forever (30+ minutes) to prepare food. No one answered. They later tried to blame it on me calling from a private number — I didn’t. I even called again while inside the restaurant, and watched the staff deliberately ignore the phone. He wanted to blame it on being busy but at that moment he wasn’t.
When I brought it up, the guy was incredibly rude and defensive, with zero professionalism or basic customer service. As per the owner, he “doesn’t pick up numbers that have no name on it.” I never knew a restaurant that runs like that. People also have valuable time and when they are placing an order it’s not only contributing to them but the establishment.
It’s not the first time I’ve dealt with this. I have honestly done this before when they have ignored my calls when I order and I only order for my sister whom comes from NY to visit but her taste buds are meh:/ Even my sister reported, her trying to call for an order ahead of time while driving from Staten Island to Clifton and was ignored at a different time. She called for 40 minutes straight.
As for the food: If you want bland, dry meat, this is the place. Chicken shawarma? Tasteless. The meat? Just as bad. The kofta extremely dense. Honestly, the only thing worth eating is the salad — but even that can’t make up for how poorly they treat people.
Don’t waste your time or money here.

I finally tried this place out. I couldn’t resist the smells coming from this place anymore and had to give it a shot. I went with the chicken kebab and it was delicious. With your meal, you get to choose your salad from a bunch of different options. The prices might seem a bit high at first, but the portions are huge and definitely worth it. I’ll be back to try the other items on the menu. Excellent spot for a post workout meal

Get food here often after the gym. Taste is excellent & freshly made. Shawarma in pita is my favorite. Chicken Shniztel is wicked nice.

Schnitzel Express is a delightful hidden gem in the Patterson area that exceeded my expectations as a Mediterranean restaurant. Despite its name, the focus here is on fresh, flavorful Mediterranean cuisine that truly stands out.
The food is made fresh, and you can taste the quality in every bite. The guys behind the grill are not only friendly but also incredibly generous with portion sizes, ensuring you get great value for your meal. I was particularly impressed by the unique and vibrant salads and sides, which added a refreshing twist to the dining experience.
Overall, A Schnitzel Express has quickly become one of my go-to places. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu!
food is amazing taste very authentic to Palestine best Palestinian food in the area and its ran by 2 hard working great looking brothers God bless will be back THANKS WALLY AND AHMAD I LOVE THE
