Martin Koolhoven's Schnitzel Paradise (Dutch: Het Schnitzelparadijs) is a 2005 Dutch comedy film about Dutch-Moroccan Nordip Dounia who starts working in a restaurant kitchen and falls in love with Agnes Meerman, niece of the hotel's manager. Nordip has to overcome not only Agnes's family's prejudices but also his father's wishes as to his future.
The film was a huge success in The Netherlands (it was the highest grossing Dutch film in 2005 in The Netherlands) and rode the wave of success that previous multi-cultural youth comedy Shouf Shouf Habibi! had started.
