Holy Schnitzel is making a return to the Sunshine State, bringing its popular fast-casual kosher comfort food back to South Florida. The brand is opening a new location in Hollywood in the former Shipudim space, marking the company’s first Florida reentry since closing its previous Miami-area outpost several years ago. The new shop will serve as the latest addition to the growing roster of Holy Schnitzel restaurants, known for generous portions, approachable pricing, and a menu centered around schnitzel, crispy chicken dishes, and creative sandwiches.

A new chapter for a well-known kosher brand

Holy Schnitzel has built a strong following across New York over the last decade, expanding from a single Staten Island storefront into a recognizable kosher fast-casual chain. Its return to Florida reflects the continued growth of the South Florida kosher dining scene, particularly in Hollywood, where new concepts have opened steadily in recent years. Taking over the former Shipudim location on Stirling Road allows Holy Schnitzel to tap into an established corridor for kosher restaurants and supermarkets, surrounded by high local demand.

The Hollywood opening gives the brand a strategic South Florida foothold, introducing a concept that combines American comfort food with Israeli influences in a family-friendly format. For locals and visitors, it reintroduces a recognizable and informal dining option that has seen success in multiple metropolitan areas.

Menu highlights

The Holy Schnitzel menu is built around its signature schnitzel dishes, offered in various forms including wraps, platters, sandwiches, and salads. Customers typically choose from grilled or crispy fried schnitzel, with optional toppings and sauces that have become part of the chain’s identity. Loaded fries, chicken strips, and specialty sandwiches are commonly featured, providing option-rich dining for both quick service and sit-down meals.

Additional menu items include wings, burgers, and sides, with certain locations offering rotating seasonal or limited-time selections. While the Hollywood location’s full menu has not yet been released, diners can expect the brand’s core lineup of schnitzel-based meals, popular crispy chicken options, and customizable toppings. Fast-casual efficiency and family appeal remain integral to the overall concept.

Returning to a busy kosher corridor

Stirling Road is one of the most concentrated kosher areas in Broward County, home to numerous restaurants, food markets, and community institutions. By opening its latest restaurant on this street, Holy Schnitzel places itself in a high-traffic area that consistently attracts local residents and kosher travelers.

Taking over the former Shipudim space gives the brand access to a dining area already familiar to consumers in the community. This part of Hollywood is easily accessible from surrounding neighborhoods and major roadways, helping reintroduce Holy Schnitzel to customers who remember its previous Florida location as well as those discovering it for the first time.
