nusr-et steakhouse

if you are a meat lover, this is the place to be.itis more a passion. the best steakhouse i've tasted so far. tried the one in istanbul before going to the one in dubai, 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.

whenitcomes to the meat starters, you can never go wrong. follow your preference but do not skip their sushi (must try). basicallyitis small pieces of steak filled with cheese and crispy chips, just throw into your mouth and letitmelt. 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 thatitis 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 cut in front 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 wait in the queue to get a table or sharing table.

highly recommended

really good service and the food is amazing and they just use the best cuality of meat love the experiense you really need to go there if you hav the chance little pricey but totally worhtit

look no further - this is the best steakhouse in turkey. meal is of quality and the place looks nice - waiters will be constantly showcasing food(something in nitrogen foam) and offering you to try it/order it. a bit pricey but totally worthitwhile in turkey.

i kept hearing about nusr-et prior to travelling to istanbul so i figured if all of lebanon seemed to know aboutit- 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 points in and off itself. they were helpful in that they picked our luggage and storeditfor 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're in istanbul 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, butitwas 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,itwas 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, nonethelessitwas cooked nicely and was juicy. then came the meat: the first meal was like pulled beef,itwas tender and metled in our 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!

i wanted to makeit-5 because of the really bad service.
i booked a table for 2 in a certain time went there earlier cuz i know how it’s crowded, there where around 8 groups of people standing in the door waiting there table to be ready kept walking around the restaurant to ask anyone for my table!! there where really rude and had no experience in booking after waiting around 30 mins i discovered that there are 4 bookings in front of us so why did the ask for time when i booked.
i’ve been into crowded restaurants but never like this, the waitress kept pushing people.
i now that nusret worked so hard for this restaurant but he need to teach his employees and waiters and give them lessons on manners and stop fooling around with an ipad that has no reservation right.

guys, we’ve not been to nusret in dubai yet and don't think we ever will - simply because of how expensiveitis. but nusret in istanbul is so affordable and the quality is spot on! an absolute must visit when in istanbul. hands down the best burger we've ever eaten in our lives!!! ever!!! we didn’t know burgers could taste this good -itwas the moment we both looked at each other, our eyes locked and we knew this was special. .....the best dish we had at nusret in istanbul and for only 35 tl. definition of foodgasm.
the beef tenderloin - little slices of heaven. we also ordered the rack of lamb and jack finished all of this - yes, all!! with a little help from me (fine, i had one lamb chop!). and only 260 tl. the lamb was so tender and light that even after eating all that, jack wasn't too stuffed for dessert! and that burger ?❤️
the dessert was deliciously warm, crisp, buttery and flaky and the combination of the vanilla ice cream is brilliant!! we polished off a slice each!
and we had the perfect end to the evening because we met saltbae himself!!! such a humble man who took the time to take selfies with literally everyone in the restaurant.
i cannot recommend this place enough! 

really enjoyed this place! it's not just a restaurant it's an experience!
first the service is really good although it's crowded, waiters are welcoming and helpful.
second, the food.itis actually up to our expectations, meat is really tender moist and flavorful. the only remark i would give is the side dish. they propose baked potatoes, spinach with mushrooms and fries. it's a lot. i only managed to finish the fries.
then came dessert. they have a whole show for it. it's baklava and ice cream. this one is amazingggg. we had two!!
as for the price,itis pricey but totally worth it.

definitely the best steak you can ever taste ! the service is not only fast, but also enjoyable. the waiters treat the food that they serve like nusret does !
we had to wait for 1 hour and a half to get a table for 4;it was definitely worthit!

don't bother and make a reservation because they make you wait anyways. no im sorry actually they make you fight for your table. so chaotic and unorganized, unhelpful eye rolling hostesses. we went on a thursday night had a reservation for 7:30 pm we called them politely and told them that we will be 10 minutes late. how foolish of us little did we know thatitdoes not matter. we get there and its like the most crowded souk you can imagine you have to push people to get to the hostess and then goodluck waiting. oh we did sit in the end after 1 hour and 10 minutes but that was after my husband blew at the hostess for making the walkins sit before us. 10 minutes after we sat at our table (which by the way was shared by others) and before even our food arrived the bar caught fire from one of their stunts and 3 people got burnt. 1 girl was burnt from head to toe. people were screaming and running and there was no exit but that by the bar. so yeah after that scare we lost our appetite. but then the famous salt bae came and was surrounded by cameras and phones while keeping his grim on as if nothing happened and as if people weren't affected for life. thank god we were unharmed. i was once a nusret fan. not anymore. never again.

after hearing a lot about this place and finally deciding to visit, we had the worst experience ever and left without even having dinner. we called and reserved a place, but when we arrived we found a big line all waiting to be seated. no one was answering us even though we had a reservation and they made us wait at the door, until we decided to leave.itwas the most unprofessional and disrespectful place i've ever been to! they have no respect whatsoever for their customers, which was very humiliating.

the best steakhouse in istanbul, nusr-et is the most innovative whenitcomes to how they serve their food to meat lovers. from steak to lamb chops and beef cooked with boiling butter. the service is excellent and the meat quality is wonderful ??

best experience in istanbul.
met nusr-et and took some pictures with him.
great ambiance, unreal meat that melts like butter in your mouth. ordered the nusret special, hardal soslu dallas steak, nusret special burger, lokum burger and finisheditoff with their special baklava. i recommend all especially the nusret special burger and nusr-et special.
must visit place in istanbul!

(english translation is below) mekana girip yerimize oturana kadar ilgi alaka şahaneydi ama siparişi verdikten sonra kimse ilgilenmedi, yaklaşık 4 farklı garsona siparişi hatırlatmak zorunda kaldık. i̇çecek olarak ne alırsınız sorusuna almayacağımı belirttiğimde "nasıl yani hiçbir şey mi içmeyeceksiniz" diye soran bir garson bizim masamızdan sorumluydu. fotoğrafta görmüş olduğunuz havuç dilimi baklavayı ben sipariş ettim ancak karşımda oturan uzak doğulu arkadaş saniyede 2 fotoğraf çeken bir makineyle her şeyi fotoğrafladığı için sunumu ona yaptılar, ardından baklavayı önüme atıp gittiler. yan masada bir beyefendinin şarabı bittiğinde doldurmak için bir garson herdaim hazır beklerken, ben hesap lütfen diye her gördüğüm garsona seslendim ama sizin masayla x kişisi ilgileniyor denilerek yaklaşık 20 dakika hesap bekledim. +400 lira adisyon bırakıp bahşiş vermeyecekseniz nusret'e gidip de ne kendinizi rezil edin ne de yanınızdakine rezil olun. nusret nereden geldiğini çabuk unutmuş olmalı ki bu kadar şımarık çalışanı bünyesine toplayıp onlara ekmek kapısı olmuş. lezzete değinecek olursak, iki adet lokum burger ve iki adet havuç dilim baklava aldık. lokum burgerlerden birisi güzelken öbüründe sadece karemelize soğan tadı baskındı, bu fiyata bu burger asla yakışmadı. tek memnun kaldığım şey havuç dilimi baklavaydı.

they were very friendly until we found a place and sit down. after we ordered lokum burger and baklava, they started to behave in a rude way. we waited our order to be served for 30 min and they made us to wait another 20 min for cheque. in addition, i was the one who ordered baklava but they serveditin front of an asian customer because he was taking photographs... if you don't spend +100$ and give tip to waiters, you cannot expect good quality and friendly behavior. at this place, you get only what you pay for, money talks.

we visited this place all the way from london so expectations were high. here were the problems:

- waited 1.5 hours for a table with no place to sit and people were waiting for a table as if it’s rush hour in london underground!! the restaurant is tiny, so much for a man with a multi-million dollar restaurant chain.

- they have complete lack of organizational skills. you are called to your table by a tiny lady with a tiny voice shouting a name out loud. you have to stand over her to hearitas the music is so loud. they have no token system, no beeper system - nothing. it’s a complete and utter joke.

- whilst waiting for 1.5 hours, you can see the kitchen behind cooking. no staff were wearing gloves. they were using their dirty, crummy fingers to handle all the meats, along with plastic boards and not wooden

- once we got a table,itwas shared with 3 other people, almost like sitting in a food court. so much for privacy.
- we were ready to order and then were told there are no steaks!!!

- we proceeded to order the only dish available on the menu which was fillet mignon.

-itwas cooked rare when we asked for medium. this was alongside the rudeness of most of the staff. most turkish people are polite but these people are utterly rude.

- when we asked foritto be cooked medium,itcame back cut in half and cooked like a slipper!!!itwas very tough and we refused to eat it.

- the fillet had absolutely zero taste including the meat itself.itcomes with no sides and no sauce.

- we left arguing with the manager about the complete and utter disgrace of a restaurant.

this man is supposed to be an almost-billionaire and has no care in the world about his customers.

over hyped garbage - avoid.
