Let's delve into this beloved dish's origins

Schnitzel

Contrary to popular belief, the Schnitzel isn’t originally German. Its roots are found in Austria, specifically the ‘Wiener Schnitzel’, a breaded and fried veal cutlet. But how did this Austrian classic transform into a beloved Israeli street food?

When Jewish immigrants from Europe arrived in Israel, they brought along the recipe, but made a key substitution due to kosher dietary laws. Instead of pork or veal, chicken became the primary choice for Schnitzel in Israel. And so, the Israeli Schnitzel was born!

Today, it is a national favorite, as synonymous with Israel as Falafel. It’s served in school cafeterias, at home for Shabbat dinner, and in countless restaurants, including our own Friendship Grill.

Our Schnitzel is a tantalizing fusion of tradition and innovation, made from locally-sourced, high-quality chicken, coated in a unique blend of herbs and spices, and fried to a perfect golden brown. What sets ours apart is the care we put into preparing each piece, ensuring a consistently delectable experience every time you dine with us.

But it’s not just about the food. At The Friendship Grill, we’re committed to fostering an inclusive community while serving up exceptional dishes. Our grill is more than just a restaurant, it’s an extension of The Friendship Circle of Fort Lauderdale, a non-profit organization dedicated to creating a supportive and nurturing environment for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
