nusr-et steakhouse

we had a reservation for 5 people and were on time. but still we had to wait for approx 30 minutes to get a table. the placewasvery busy. mostly upper-middle class to celebrities. we sat next to basketball players from the local team. the world famous "salt-bae" nusret gökçewasalso present so that customers could get a selfie with him. we ordered cheese salad (tulum peynirli salata) and garden salad (bahçe salatası), lokum meat, hamburgers and new york steak. tastewasokay. you can exspect more from the price you pay. but desert baklava with ice cream (havuç dilimi)wasout of this world and simply amazing. we paid 600 tl for 5 people.

the atmospherewasnice and authentic.
went there midweek around noon.
the placewasalmost full yet the servicewasreally fast and the staffwasfriendly.
the lamb chops were the best i ever had. just perfect.
recommended!

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 that it does 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 thatwasafter my husband blew at the hostess for making the walkins sit before us. 10 minutes after we sat at our table (which by the waywasshared by others) and before even our food arrived the bar caught fire from one of their stunts and 3 people got burnt. 1 girlwasburnt from head to toe. people were screaming and running and therewasno exit but that by the bar. so yeah after that scare we lost our appetite. but then the famous salt bae came andwassurrounded 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. iwasonce 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 onewasanswering us even though we had a reservation and they made us wait at the door, until we decided to leave. itwasthe most unprofessional and disrespectful place i've ever been to! they have no respect whatsoever for their customers, whichwasvery humiliating.

hell of an experience.

a must visit for any meat/steak lover.

we arrived with no prior reservation, waited for about 20 enjoyable minutes ( the amount of lovely trays of food passing infront of uswasconsidered as an entertainment with all these aromas blending in ? ) then we were seated on a big shared table. the rest is history. ❤❤

time passed so fast, just like all the lovely times with a twist of good food in this novel. ❤
definitely i am visiting this place again.

(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, iwasthe one who ordered baklava but they served it in front of an asian customer because hewastaking 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 hear it as 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, itwasshared 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 whichwasfillet mignon.

- itwascooked rare when we asked for medium. thiswasalongside the rudeness of most of the staff. most turkish people are polite but these people are utterly rude.

- when we asked for it to be cooked medium, it came back cut in half and cooked like a slipper!!! itwasvery tough and we refused to eat it.

- the fillet had absolutely zero taste including the meat itself. it comes 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.

came here after good experience at a nusret burger

booking made for a birthday
entrance very chaotic, poorly thought out space.

after being seated, we were told no steaks available.. 8pm on a midweek........

after making our order, and being tried to upsell a few times, we were told we would get our food in installments.......as a la carte is too difficult to time!!!

sides came 10 minutes before food, had to be sent back for a reheat.

foodwasexcellent apart from the above, but the whole experience really let down by the service and the staff giving us the feeling that we should bbe grateful to be there. many better restaurants have closed down not because of the food, but because of really poor service.

i have visited the restaurant today
itwasreally great and best service

nusret steak house made me fall in love with meat.. i am repeating my visits to istanbul frequently just to try it again and again.. this place by far offers the most delicious steaks you can ever taste .. let’s start by their professional chefs that take care of you from the start till the end with their special shows.. i just wanna thank chef omer for his amazing welcoming and service. then let’s talk about the food . no words can describe how much the steaks are amazing. we tried many kind of steaks like the dallas steak, the nusret steak and the nusret kobe ..
each one came with it’s special show and each one of them is better than the other. and we tried too the burgers : the nusret burger and the lokum burger and they were mouthwatering. and for sure let’s not forger their goat cheese salad just try it and thank me. the fries and the mached potatoes were extraordinary. we ordered also a bottle of wine and itwaswoww. and finally the desert : the famous baklava filled with vanilla ice cream.. a star rock..
salt bae you’re amazing ..
thank you nusret!!!
