nusr-et steakhouse

the food is absolutely insane, just delicious!
my rating went from 5.0 to 4.0 because the hosting system is awful! we had reserved 1 hour before arriving, and when we got there we still waited for 1 hour and 45 minutes!!!! had i known this ahead of time i would’ve changed our dinner plans because thiswasa business dinner with a partner... the hostess kept showing me my name on her ipad and saying we’ll be seated in 10 mins, about 7 times...

let me tell you something, your visit to istanbul is definitely incomplete if you don’t pass by nusr-et steakhouse!

the place is supercrowded so you need to make a reservation. the staff are very professional and work really hard to make sure everyone gets seated and the customers waiting to feel at ease with some drinks.

the decoration is very modern and the seating is comfortable, tables are large so they fit the big portions served by the place.

we ordered dana kaburga (beef ribs), fillet mignon bonfíle (fillet mignon steak), and nusret special.

the meat tasted heavenly! itwasmouthwatering, and the whole meat experiencewasamazing! it might be the best meat we ever tasted. i highly recommend all the meals we ordered, with a special highlight on the beef ribs whichwasour favorite! the meat is juicy, very rich in taste ??

last but not least, for dessert we took the baklava with ice cream whichwassuper delicious!

almost all the meat meals are served with a show which takes you to a whole another experience!

the overall experiencewasone of a kind, the prices are expensive, yet they really match the high expectations you put on this place and its food!

would definitely visit again and again!

great experience. we were there on the 24th night and itwastoo too crowded. never seen such crowd in any restaurant i’ve been to anywhere in the world. despite the crowd we were seated within 15 minutes. off course we had reservation otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to sit so quickly. the servicewasa 5 stars sowasthe food. i highly recommend this place. try to book before going to avoid waiting. well done for all the team there and thanks for a lovely experience.

after a long wait we tried the famous restaurant, but disappointment begun when we shared a table with another couple and even we insisted on having a separate once available, in 10 min theirewasmore than 2 tables available, we asked again to move and again they refused saying itwasreserved, the good part is the foodwasgood the wine variety is great from local to foreign ones
the place is sooo busy so they have to keep more attention for hygiene especially the menus and table reset
more explanation for beef cuts presented in the menu is a must for a restaurant becoming soo famous world-wide
we left after one hour and both tables were still unoccupied

by far the best thing you can ever eat at istanbul. on the expensive side, yet totally worth it. the meat is premium and cuts like butter!!
everything is a show. from the way they serve to the way they cut the meats and the way they present the food.
i personally tried the tomahawk steak and itwasmelt-in-your-mouth tender.
exceptional.
no matter how full you felt, do not leave without eating dessert.

staff can be very rude at times, yet they are generally professional.
a lady at the entrance made me laugh with her reply to a person that demanded being seated immediately claiming to be a friend of nusret. “sir, everyone is a friend of nusret. please wait your turn”.

always book at least a day in advance to avoid a long wait at the door.

coming from dubai, iwasexpecting this to be an expensive joint but from what i saw on the menu, itwasnot one at all. i only had the chance to taste the now infamous baklawa desert and that experiencewasa special one. this i a very instagram friendly outlet with folks mainly turning up to take pictures with the namesake curator or the process of serving their food on the table. it is a must visit if you're a fan of meat & fancy presentations.

recommended plates: asado and kuzu kafes and of course the baklava at the end. kofte wad burnt and the burgerwasbelow expectations. great service and fast despite that we had to wait although we had a reservation.

hady.taha my partner made a reservation there as a surprise having heard amazing reviews. we were both pleasantly surprised that those reviews were too true. the place has by far the best meat we ever had. we shared their signature burger and the beef spaghetti, a side salad and fries. the meatwasincredibly tender and juicy and the fries were divine. the place offers complemtary dessert, and you can choose from among two options, both of which are amazing.
the servicewasfast considering how packed the place was, the decorwasbeautiful, and the ambiancewasgreat. i particularly liked how you are greeted with a lovely display of hanging meats as you walk in. definitely a favorite!

nusr-et steakhouse is heaven! amazing steaks, amazing deserts! i enjoyed every bite of it when iwasin istanbul! the place itself is magical! amazing service, super friendly staff, well trained! i highly recommend this place! 10/10! can’t wait to visit again!!

quality has definitely gone down, foodwasovercooked (although i clearly requested medium). they seem to have too much business to care. plus they can't manage the booking process, we waited 1.5 hours although we had a confirmed booking!

our turkish friend had booked a table for us. we reached there half an hour earlier. they said that no reservationwasdone. we waited for two hours. welcome staff is very rude. people were standing on top of each other. anyway, we were seated first on a table with other people from other countries (who we surely didn't know). first mealwasserved. itwasyummy. worth the wait. then we were moved to another table where we were alone (finally!). second mealwasserved. ribs + a serving show. just wow. they let u forget all the waiting time and all the impolitness of the welcome ladies that u had to endure. show is super. taste is out of this world! really speechless. highly recommended! do not miss it out!

their lokum is amazing!!!! one of the best juiciest steaks i've ever had! had it in medium whichwasfabulous! their baklava with ice creamwasalso to die for! also loved their sale with feta cheese ? servicewasfantastic!

service: went there for my birthday andwassuper excited the whole saltbae experience. the placewasunderstandably over crowded and after much waiting we had to sit and share a table with strangers whichwasof course awkward. there were no condiments or tissue papers on our side of the table and we had to speak over the couple sitting next to us the entire time. servicewasbelow average, but my oh my, the burgers were heavenly! which bring me to:

food: the juiciest thick meat and the perfect seasoning and buns. the star of the show is definitely the meat that you can find nowhere else! we devoured the ny burger and the nusret special burger and i'll forever remember this as one of the best burgers i've ever tried.

service again: gotta say, some tables were having the time of their life with a cooking show & all (plus the luxury of having their own table) so you never know you might get good service if you're lucky (what?). pity iwasout of luck on that part on my birthday though.

value for money: the place is also super affordable with respect to the quality!

this placewasranked as one of the best steak houses in the world & u’ll never know why until you try it out! an unforgettable experience that shouldn’t be missed if you ever visit istanbul

i had dinner at nusrat, the place could have easily gotten a 5 if they have a proper reservation system. i had a reservation at 9:30, andwasasked to be there a bit earlier. i arrived at 9:15 to find a crowd of people jumping over each other trying to reach the hostess when i got to her gabe her the reservation information, she asked me to wait next to the bar which i did. i expected to be seated at 9:30, but that wasn’t the case. i had to wait till 9:47 to be told my tablewasbeing prepared. iwastaken to wait in another area for another 15min to be seated making my waiting time close to 35 min given that i had a reservation. don’t over book the place it’s disrespectful to people who are coming to pay a lot of money for food. the customers should be treated in a more dignified manner. based on that the place should get a 1. the food is a different story, and it is the only reason the place got a 4. but it is still no excuse to treat people like this. the staff serving the foodwasvery polite. the gold steakwassatisfying. the gold beqlawawasalso good. the foodwasgreat, service needs to be changed asap.
