Albert's Schloss - Soho, London

As a regular visitor to Germany, and a huge fan of German food, I was interested to try German food in London, and I was not disappointed. We tried to book a table a few weeks earlier, but they were fully booked already but they said to try a walk-in, and sure enough we got lucky and got a table for our party of 7 in the bar area on the ground floor. If you book a table, you'll be downstairs in the more 'beer hall' style restaurant, which had a DJ when we were there. No authentic German music, tho, sadly! Food-wise, I was not disappointed. I had the Schweinehaxe (pork knuckle) which is one of my favourite German meals, and it was superb. They're always huge, and I was thankful that it didn't come with a pile of other veg or fries, just a little red cabbage sauerkraut, or I would never have managed it. Others had the currywurst, the baron burger and even the vegan bratwurst, all of which everyone really enjoyed. Prices were perfectly reasonable, especially given the location. And the choice of German beers was superb, with Hacker-Pschorr, Erdinger, Paulaner, HB and others available on tap, including a number of wheat beers. All in all, they've done a great job here, and it's very authentic. I would definitely go back.

This is a solid 5 star place, very close to my prestigious 6*.A German style beerhoffen located very close to Piccadilly Circus. Don't be fooled by the smaller upstairs bar, the main bar and seating is downstairs and this place is huge. Not just the upstairs bar and main bar downstairs but smaller bars downstairs as well. Lots of seating and lots of little areas and nooks and crannies. We sat in the ski lift (you'll see). We went quite early in the day so it was quite quiet but I imagine this place gets busy at peak times. Food is available but we didn't stay to eat. The drinks choices are ridiculously immense at reasonable prices, we went for a selection of schnapps and a frulli, all very nice. They have live music on the stage in the evenings (not sure if it's every evening).A photo booth by the toilets. The service was perfect, friendly, helpful and welcoming, special shout out to Summer and Elena who were brilliant. I can't wait to go again, hopefully at a busier time when they have the live music. With Oktoberfest coming up this is definitely a place to go to, just make sure to book a table.My ONLY criticism is they don't have stein glasses which was a bit disappointing for a place such as this,still an amazing place though.

Great experience as part of a large group on a Friday night. Service was good and food was served relatively quickly for how busy the night was. The place is massive, on two floors. There was a live band playing at some point and people in a separate area were dancing and partying from 7pm which made the entire place feel extremely lively. Music in the dining area is a little loud in and if in a large group, it might be difficult to speak to people not sitting next to you. However, it depends on what kind of night out you are looking for. Food was good and portions are generous. Desert wasn’t that great and I would definitely skip the sticky toffee pudding next time. Drinks galore, excellent bear. The booths are comfortable but not ideal if you are a taller person. Overall a good night out.

We visited Albert Schloss with family and friends and had an amazing time. The atmosphere was lively without feeling overwhelming, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The food came out fresh and full of flavor, and everyone at the table found something they really enjoyed. The drinks were great and the overall vibe made it feel like a proper treat. We left smiling and already talking about when we’ll come back. Highly recommend for a fun and welcoming night out. Smith family and friends

Had dinner at Albert’s Schloss Soho and honestly had a great time. The food was solid – the pork knuckle was really tasty and the sides matched perfectly. What impressed me most though was the service. I’d asked for the bill earlier, but it got forgotten. When I asked again later, the waiter came back and just said it was “on the house.” He admitted he’d missed my bill, and that kind of honesty and generosity really stuck with me. Also, have to say – the guy was genuinely good-looking, which somehow made the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back.

I rarely ever leave bad reviews, but I left this visit feeling genuinely upset and disappointed. We booked our girls’ Christmas dinner and paid for a fairly pricey set menu, so we were really looking forward to it. At first everything seemed great, they asked about allergies, and my friend with an egg allergy was treated with extreme caution. Another friend mentioned she was vegan and was immediately guided through suitable options. When it was my turn, I said I don’t eat pork and asked if the sausages could be served on the side so someone else could have them. I was told they already came on the side, so I assumed all was fine. But when the meals arrived and we’d already started eating, I suddenly realised my turkey was wrapped in bacon and the sausage was inside the turkey. I didn’t want to cause a scene, so we quietly mentioned it to the host. The manager came over and, although she was polite, she suggested they might have taken it as a “preference” rather than something important, yet everyone else’s preferences and dietary needs at the table had been taken seriously. Mine clearly wasn’t. She removed the meal from the bill and apologised, and we specifically asked for the situation not to be made a big deal. Then later, two different waiters came over to apologise again, which I know was meant kindly, but it was exactly what we asked them not to do. It turned into the very scene we were trying to avoid. After leaving and thinking it over, I’m honestly really upset. My dietary request was not taken seriously at all, and it left me feeling dismissed and singled out. I would strongly encourage anyone visiting to clearly emphasise your dietary needs because in my case, they simply weren’t respected.

It was a great birthday celebration with Albert’s team!! All the staff was nice and especially Ani who is looking after for our table. They gave me a cute birthday card with the drinks. Schnitzels were delicious. I advise to do booking beforehand. Thanks!!
