About The Fat Monkey Schnitzel

Schnitzel has been bringing people together for generations. Inspired by the classic breaded cutlets of 19th-century Europe, it evolved as families adapted cherished recipes using simple, affordable ingredients they had on hand. Grandmothers learned to stretch every meal with love and resourcefulness, turning humble pantry staples into comforting feasts that could feed the whole family.

Simple ingredients, prepared with care, are what make schnitzel unforgettable. Thin-cut chicken is hand-breaded, perfectly seasoned, and fried until golden and crispy on the outside while staying tender and juicy inside. Whether tucked into warm pita or fresh bread, piled over crisp greens, or served alongside vibrant homemade sides, it's a meal that's both satisfying and timeless.

Our menu celebrates the rich traditions of a true culinary melting pot. The schnitzel may be the centerpiece, but the salads, sauces, and sides are inspired by recipes passed down through families with roots in Hungary, Poland, Tunisia, Persia, Germany, and Iraq. Every plate is a tribute to generations of home cooks who shared their cultures around the dinner table—one delicious bite at a time.

Michael, Barak and the kids.

Barak & Michael

Meet Barak and Michael. Between two families, two wives, kids, pets, homes, and multiple businesses, you'd think they had enough on their plates. But they were still missing one thing: the comforting, nostalgic food they grew up eating. So they did what any reasonable men would do—they opened a food cart.
