nusr-et steakhouse

nusr-et is the best steak house i ever tried ,first of all the waiter was very kind and nice we waited for long but it deserved
the service was very fast i took the special burger, it was very juicy and never tasted such a burger . i’minloveinlamb platter. and i will stip talking now and let you try it ?
money wise: affordable
i recommend this place and definitely i’m going to travel again to try all the menu ?
thank you nusr_et and please come to lebanon ??

it's not my first time at nusr-et , but this time i was tremendously disappointed ?
the food is still ok. unfortunately i can't say much about the staff. i had booked a table 2 days before at 9:30 pm on sunday , to arrive and find that i had no table and more then 50 people where waiting . the stewardess was so rude and mean and impolite. i asked her to check again if the reservation wasinmy family name instead of my first name . she found it but even though , she told me i had no place and no table and that many people are waiting as well. i didn't get a table before 1 hour and 45 mins after i screamed at the manager and showed him my phone conversation. they gave me a table.
i used to love nus-ret , but i will not be visiting it again unfortunately it's staff especially the stewardess with the long hair and the one with the short hair and grey highlights. how a shame to be treated like animals when we obied by the rules. much overrated ? very bad experience .

amazing address for meat lovers! enormous portions and delicious meat and fries! so famous, you have to waitinline to have a seat, even with a reservation! always crowded place, so the atmosphere is more like "eat quickly"; will recommend going there at 10:00pm (last reservation)inorder to enjoy the stay (and the meat!).

always wanted to try this place from so long and when finally got there was amazed by the customer service. reservation is mandatory if you are planning to visit the place, the meat is one of the best meat we should try atleast onceinour lifetime. great ambience all over. even though it’s bit over priced but it’s worth every penny.

would have rated 5 for sure, if not for the stupid waiting list, sharing tables and unorganized reservations.
we waited around 1 hourinan awful reception, with hostesses screaming customers names.
with no where to sit, and waiters passing by between the crowd with hot platters, screaming “pardon” to people to move!
well this is how the experience at the very famous nusret started.
till our name came up and we were seated on a table with 2 other people that we don’t know.
everything was awful till food came !
steak is really awesome and the beef ribs are heaven !!!
very soft meat not chewy at all.
would have preferred some other sides with the platters like some mashed potatoes per example.
after tasting the food you understand the waiting list and the long queue.

i have been wanting to try this place for a while now. i am glad i finally made it to istanbul and got the chance to live “ the nusr-et experience”.
make sure to book 2 to 3 weeks ahead, and prepare yourself for a long wait, but trust me it will definitely be worth it.

the wooden interior gives the place a warm vibe but what makes you feel all comfy and cozy is the staff and service. each and every single table is perfectly taken care of. waiters are friendly, attentive and always around. they even perform a special show while serving the food.

now for the main act. meat.
we went for the new york steak. the tender strip is heavenly cooked. the waiter slices it up on a wooden platter and its pink juiciness just stands out but the signature “salt bae” touch is what does the magic trick. baked potatoes and spinach purée are served on the side.
we then had the special nusret dish. this is a must try. the special zone beef fillet comes almost raw. the waiter bathes itinboiling melted butter over a hot stone, the beef gets cooked to perfection with bread bites on the side dippedinthe sauce before being served.
we also had the nusr-et burgers. to die for! you cant top that quality meat, rich taste, and amazing ingredients.
fries are refilled on the house.
and for the final act: dessert.
the cherry on top, as if this place needed one! a huge baklava tray comes right at you. the waiter opens up each slice, stuffs it with ice cream and then chops it up. you can feel the mouthwatering flavor with each and every single crunchy bite, bathinginsugar syrup.
traditional turkish tea is served at the end to cool down.

this is, by far, one of my best dining experiences!
a full star rating to this amazing place!

one of the best steak houses' i've been toinmy life.

starters, ribs (beef and lamb), salads and desserts are out of this world.

do not miss on it if you ever visit istanbul.

delicious amazing and perfect meat and ribs
and a good place to eat delicious meat and ribsinthe world nusret is very friendly and professional

point by point review of our unfortunate dinner experience at nusret from entering to leaving:

1- reservations were not acknowledged and we had to wait like all the walk-ins. the place was obviously and carelessly overbooked by at least ten tables, on purpose maybe even to increase the hype. host did not bother giving us a waiting time and responded with “don’t know can be 5 min can be 2 hours”. this is a recurrent issue based on reviews
2- as soon as we headed towards our table i couldn’t help but smell a bad, moist, stench. did not help with the appetite. place has no circulation and isindeep need of renovation
3- waiter came to say hi 30 minutes after sitting. he bullied us into ordering overpriced wine/champagne and a “set” of salad and meats. all of which we said no thank you because we had wanted other things, to which he made obvious he was annoyed about. advice: don’t be pushed into ordering what they want
4- tomahawk steak made it to us rare even though we ordered it medium. waiter was no where to be found for 15 min so we ended up eating it as it is. actually had to leave half of it because we’re not used to rare. waiter forgot to cut it initially as well because it was so busy
5- the so called nusr-et special finally made its way one hour after ordering.
6- three hours after entering this dump we paid the overpriced bill and left.

if you want steak, go to a steakhouse. this is not a steakhouse. it’s a zoo and nusr-et should be ashamed of himself for maintaining this circus

amazing place, amazing food, amazing experience. i visited istanbul two months ago and everyone told me i had to try nusr-et so i did and i wasn't disappointed. the steaks are the best i've ever hadinmy life, and the price was not bad for the quality. will definitely come here again when i next visit

i am not sure how to rank my nusret expirenceinistanbul....
even with the booking we had to wait more than an hour for the table to be ready , finally found a place at the bar and enjoyed a drink before dinner.
our waitress was exceptional, and the food was excellent.
it was a different experience from dubai, i am glad i waited lol

if you are a meat lover, this is the place to be. it is more a passion. the best steakhouse i've tasted so far. tried the oneinistanbul before going to the oneindubai, but surely i will become a regular dubai branch customer.

the tenderness, the taste, the presentation, the portion, the preparation, the atmosphere, the service... everything about this place is just perfect.

you need to start with a salad and keep along the way as a side dish to break off the huge quantities of meat you are gonna eat.

when it comes to the meat starters, you can never go wrong. follow your preference but do not skip their sushi (must try). basically it is small pieces of steak filled with cheese and crispy chips, just throw into your mouth and let it melt. lokum is another amazing meat starter that you need to get. sasli is very tasty but if you need to chose, then lokum is a winner.

as for the main dishes to share; again reinforce that it is based on the steak cut you prefer. if you are into ribs, then you will get the best most tender 8 hours slow-cooked ribs here. if you fancy lamb chops, again you came to the right place; they present and cutinfront of you.

note: leave space to their special baklava with ice-cream desert. mouth watering finish of your meal. you will definitely need a cup of tea before you manage to move off your chair.

it is an experience that you should not miss and trust me worth the waitinthe queue to get a table or sharing table.

highly recommended

look no further - this is the best steakhouseinturkey. meal is of quality and the place looks nice - waiters will be constantly showcasing food(somethinginnitrogen foam) and offering you to try it/order it. a bit pricey but totally worth it whileinturkey.

i kept hearing about nusr-et prior to travelling to istanbul so i figured if all of lebanon seemed to know about it - i needed to try it.

first thing that struck me with nusr-et was just how well designed the place is when compared to the theme they're going with so that earns pointsinand off itself. they were helpfulinthat they picked our luggage and stored it for us while we had our lunch before leaving turkey. their customer service was top-notch.


we shared a nusr-et burger and a lokum burger - both were really good - i personally leaned towards the nusr-et. i loved the seasoning they used witb the fries as well. if you'reinistanbul it's well worth giving this place a visit for a parting meal before you head to the airport.

i can't remember the exact name for this dessert i was served, but it was a form of baklava with ice cream stuffed inside it. luckily i was only served one piece because there was no way i'd have been able to control my appetite.

this is my second time at nusr-et and i'm as satisfied as my first time. we arrived at the restaurant, it was overcrowded, we had to wait an hour to get a table. we got the menus quickly, the waiters are used to being overwhelmed and ours helped us with our order. we ordered a ribeye appetizer, an avocado salad, the nusr-et burger and the 9hours cooked beef. you would think the order would take a bit more time due to the number pf clients, but every item came quickly. salad was fresh and crunchy with a nice dressing, the appetizer was original, i didn't expect these small pieces of meat, nonetheless it was cooked nicely and was juicy. then came the meat: the first meal was like pulled beef, it was tender and metledinour mouths. the burger is a must, it's one of the best i've tried, juicy and cheesy. we ordered the famous dessert at the end and were offered tea, which was on the house. as an overall experience, nusr-et is a restaurant that shouldn't be missed whenever you go to istanbul!
