Beverly Hills Hotel — Restaurant in Sydney

Past the numerous Chinese seafood restaurants and the restless King Georges traffic, Beverley Hills Hotel provides reprieve for the casual diner seeking a simple one-plate meal. With its huge, commanding space, the hotel not only allows for private comfort but also warmly accommodates your appetite. We came in for the $15 Thursday dinner special of chicken schnitzels and ordered all the toppers consisting of the parmy, Boscaiola and Mexicana. For a roadside hotel, the presentation of the dishes are very attentive and are gracefully served at your table. The second I glanced at the food, I was floored.

Without a doubt, I would put Beverley Hills Hotel down as a permanent landmark because they carry the thickest chicken schnitzels I've seen. Many places sell schnitzels that appear massive to the eye but insubstantial to the belly because the meat is pounded thin. But Beverley Hills deviates from the fray with its gargantuan hunk of chicken encrusted in an amazingly crunchy crumbs. Despite bearing the weight of multiple toppings, the schnitzel maintains its structural integrity with the meat still incredibly tender and flavourful within.

The Mexicana is a beast of schnitzel, heavily loaded with pico de gallo, guacamole and sour cream on top of a bed of saucy pulled pork and soft chickpeas. Yet everything coheres together to deliver a package of deliciousness with familiar flavour combos such as guacamole and sour cream. The refreshing sweetness of tomatoes and onion brings a welcoming jolt to the taste buds which are submerged in the luscious guacamole and sour cream. While delightfully fatty, the guacamole crackles with the subtle acidity of lime that helps with gulping it all down. That's not the end of it, you still got the pulled pork that is softened in a bolognese-like sauce hiding a hint of mozzarella. My words are dripping with saliva as it describes the beautiful Mexicana and I don't know what else to say to convince you to try it!

The Boscaiola adequately translates the Italian cream sauce well to the chicken schnitzel by smoothing the abrasiveness of the crust. Matched with the earthy taste of the mushroom, the cream adds a layer of interest and texture on top of the prominent meatiness of the schnitzel. The parmy is also a decent bite with a rolling cheese melt and spread of tomato paste, though not enough ham to cover the vast, dense expanse of it all.

Taking our eyes off the mains, the side salad is visually appealing with its viridescent leaves and vegetables but the dressing of mayo, balsamic vinegar and olive oil was a tad bit intense. As expected, any pub that has polished the staples will also have solid fries. Beverley Hills uses the old reliable chicken salt and I have no objections against it. After cleaning our plates, we had to take a minute to bask in the glory of that superb feed. So if you manage to leave the hotel without needing to catch your breath from such a sumptuous meal, then scream out to the world about Beverley Hills Hotel. The schnitzels are a good enough...

Looks like a nice venue. Unfortunately i didn't have a chance to taste the food because after i ordered chicken schnitzel and glass of water, i was told im getting kicked out of there by the manager on duty( male,short hair, short height). After i asked him why he admitted that one of his local patrons who happened to be my "friend" doesnt wish me to be dinning with them because of our VERBAL, non-aggressive disagreement we had, PRIOR to walking in to the venue because my friend is UPSET! WOW!!! I mean, what are we in a kindergarden??!!! Makes me question the intelligence, maturity and decision making of the person who represents the venue, who turns down a PAYING customer based on a rumours of his local patron. It is highly unprofessional as a manager to kick out a customer just because his local patron is his mate and get involved in their personal affairs especially when they didnt happen in the venue. Hospitality business is barely recovering from the covid as it is so i thought every paying customer counts. Obviously not. Please check the CCTV cameras because im not sure if i missed anything out. It is fair to say, both of us were slightly inibriated, but considering i was drinking water and was willing to eat, i believe it was all within the limits of the RSA regulations where in fact it is against the RSA law to refuse food to an intoxicated customer. Apart from the poor judgement making, low self-esteem manager with Napoleon's syndrom, other staff was very nice and friendly. Thanks for the...

This pub used to be fairly good for a night out 10-15yrs ago, but these days you can really tell the owners haven't spent a single cent on anything outside of the pokie area. The food is very ordinary, and usually the wait time is what I would consider unreasonable given the low patronage of the pub these days. Beer & wine selection is reasonable, credit where credit is due, but nothing extraordinary. Atmosphere outside of the pokie area is very dull. You are greeted by holes in the ceiling (some tastefully covered by pieces of plywood), broken air conditioning units, drips leaking from the ceiling (even on days it's not raining), lights out in places, and broken furniture. Also, the toilets feature doors kicked off the hinges, some without toilet seats, broken urinals and sinks, tiles missing, plenty of graffiti, and a lingering stink. Honestly, this place used to be one of the happening joints in Beverly Hills, but it is now a sad shadow of itself. Given you now have pub chains throughout Sydney that have way more atmosphere, better decor, better service and awesome food, there is no reason to visit this pub unless you are stranded - or you're there just to launder money through the pokies. Avoid this place...
