For schnitzel and burgers
While traditionally made with veal, schnitzel, the popular German breaded cutlet, is now offered in pork and chicken versions. Haven't tried it yet? Bite into Crumbfried Schnitzel, available in pork, chicken and cottage cheese, on the Oktoberfest menu curated by chef Siddharth Kashyap. Also on offer is the mighty Double Kraut Double Cheese Double Tenderloin Burger (inset) starring buff patty. Wash it down with a range of Beerita, a hybrid of beer and margarita. These include Blonde Bombshell (in pic) laced with mango and jalapeno or Beach Please with orange marmalade. If you're on a budget, opt for a Mini Bratwurst Platter with craft beer at '999.
