Then don't go then. Nobody is forcing you to. You people act like the people going don't understand what they're getting in to. I personally wouldn't go because I agree, it just doesn't seem like my type of thing, but some people like the novelty and have enough money to spend it and have a good laugh.
I'm a chef at a casino that serves affordable, tasty well presented food, if I served a dessert that looked like that I'd expect everyone of the chefs and front of house to say "are you taking the fucking piss" . Either Im missing something, or it's a load of bollocks.
I spent a few days in Istanbul last year, ate at Nusr-et twice. It's the same food, just much more affordable, especially at the current exchange rate. You could fly to Istanbul on Pegasus Airlines from Stansted, get a 5* hotel for the night, eat that exact same meal and still have a few hundred pound in change to splurge at the designer village next to the airport, the grand bazaar or the dozens of excellent baklava stores. For those of you who aren't millionaires and spending a large chunk of your salary just for the "experience", you'd probably get more memories out of a weekend in Istanbul. Fair enough, it's not going to be the "big man" feeding you, just some clone. But that's offset by the fact you can eat at the original Nusr-et restaurant. Plus the big man will soon be out of London when the weather gets cold anyway!
Everyone has this misconception that Istanbul is cheaper. Yes it is cheaper but that Is because don’t use Wagyu beef in Istanbul. The restaurants in Turkey all use local meat. He owns a number of farms in Turkey. Wagyu beef is only used is Dubai, UK, USA and Mykonos.
@@HoggiSami It's just cheaper generally at the current exchange rate. For comparison, the Nusr-et special sushi is £7 in Istanbul and £23 in London. The dish looks identical. A Coca Cola is £9 and a Red Bull £11 in London. A soft drink was less than £2 in Istanbul. I'm absolutely certain they could do 2 days (1 night) in Istanbul including a 5* hotel room and return flights on Pegasus + eating at Nusr-et (a very similar meal, if not for Wagyu) and have a chunk of change from £900 for sure.
@@HoggiSami what type of wagyu does he use? There is also a miss conception that all wagyu beef is very expensive. Even if he was using kobe A5 grade wagyu, it should still not amount to this ridiculous prices. There are much better steak houses in London, at the fraction of the cost. This just once again demonstrates how utterly brainwashed and stupid the human race can be.
The place is more about bragging rights, a pretentious tariff for what is a decent bit of meat and mediocre vegetables. While we all like the restaurant staff to be attentive I would not appreciate all that drama and messing with my food. If i had the choice of a free meal anywhere that place wouldn’t be on my list after this showing. That said, a great review and insight into the place.
I've been to the one in Istanbul, Turkey and mate you can get a flight there, stay in a 5 star hotel get the same food and will cost you £350 - the food I must say the Nusret special is amazing 👏🏼

If you’re a proper foodie who appreciates talented chefs and real fine dining, you’ll go to one of the multitude of Michelin star restos in London where you can easily feed 3 people with a couple bottles of wine/champagne for £500-£600… if you wanna be papped on a Friday night to enhance your Love Island application then you’ll go here… this place will be another Nobu… average food for extortionate prices but you’re guaranteed to get your photo taken outside 😅 Those sides you got served up wouldn’t have looked out of place in Nando’s!

@Pull out The lapel The nusr-et london restaurant was mentioned recently for it's poor reviews regarding quality of food and service. For a price of a coke I could buy a 24 pack elsewhere. That tells me all I need to know. People deserve to be ripped off when they are happy to pay such prices and throw their money away, but of course what is hard earned for one person is spare change to another - and whether people realise it or not with the latter, are still being taken advantage of even if they can afford it
Thing is, the prices they have are double or treble the prices for some of londons best places & these places you have to book weeks/months in advance for half the price if not less, without the drama lol
"Salt Bae’s Nusr-Et London restaurant reports £7 million sales in its first four months." This world has fully gone mad paying dumb prices for food because some clown puts salt on it in a weird way and wanting insta pics
Like Matt said the guy himself isn’t forcing anyone to go and eat there but people still go there and the place is always busy. He’s an entrepreneur and that’s how he’s made his millions. He’s made a brand. I wouldn’t go there personally but each to their own!
After seeing NUSR-ET on Billions, I always 'thought' I'd want to try it, but that's way out of my realm of justification for a meal. But what a great review!! Thanks for bringing it to us.
Love the review and principle of trying somewhere yourself and adding some context. For a once in a lifetime maybe to tick off the list if you can’t get to Istanbul to go to the cheaper one haha
The way they do all the faffing about with them knives, tapping them on the plate and on the food for no reason just does my head in. Absolute cringe and unbearable to watch.
@PrimeVids lol well you're wrong, most of the world is debating on this, even the celebrities dont come back apparently. All salt bae is doing is moving places, robbing people's money and repeat
Great review, your a natural comedian. Considering the bill you paid, you werent rude or arrogant to the staff, and you can tell they enjoyed serving your team. Agree with other comments, where the experience outweighs the food, and as a food reviewer, you can say you have reviewed the trend and viral character of "salt bae". Got a new subscriber, keep up the good work💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Can't stand people overlooking me and interfering when I'm trying to enjoy a meal. Steak was rare, not medium to rare as stated by the waiter and you could get as much of that cut plus many other cuts of steak for £28 at my local rodizio. Fair play for trying it though.
The food might be tasty, but for 1000 £ you can buy not one but two cows from a farmer in most of eastern Europe. The beef price is roughly 7 pounds per kilo in supermarkets.
Good and honest review. I would prefer if they just brought the food and left it on the table instead of messing about with it, the waiting staff seemed to get quite close, although this is all part of the 'theatre'. Salt Bae seems really creepy though.
I agree with what you say, a great meal is who you are with and what the food is like. The problem with going to this place is you know it is going to cost a fortune and that would be at the fore front of my mind all the time and make the experience less enjoyable. Definitely better places to go for an amazing steak without have to spend nearly £1000. Great review Matt 👍
Couldn't agree more. Goodman Steak house up the road in Mayfair has been wonderful on every visit, at a fraction of the cost of that Salt Bae pantomime.
Anyone getting outraged at the prices then you're clearly not their target audience. This place is for people who don't even look at the prices. They've probably thought it's better to have one table spending 2 grand on a meal than 10 tables spending 200 quid. They can give each and every customer their full attention. It makes no difference what so ever if its value for money, most people spend money they don't need to every day, some people just do it on a bigger scale. The fact is it shuts down if they don't get the customers in.
Me and my husband went to the one in Miami back in July for our 21st wedding anniversary. We got the burger and fries each and I think it was 70 something but the food was good and the restaurant was really nice. They also gave us complementary vanilla bean ice cream.
Says something about me that I wouldn’t go here even if it was free. What a faff! That boy messing about with dessert, them hanging about table etc do one!! Complete nonsense of a place although great review by yourself mate. Very honest
Very good review Matt, I agree with you, myself and my daughter have been to better places in London for less money, but absolutely great that you have given such an honest opinion.
Excellent review! To be honest, I thought the owner knowing you have spent a fortune in his restaurant would have been more talkative rather than pulling a few faces and throwing salt all over the place. Looking at the review I’d prefer to have spent the money at 2 different 5 star restaurants. Love every review you guys do ❤️
It's his theatric, a (mostly) mute, acrobatic chef who appears from the kitchen and majesticly cuts, salts and feeds you a piece of the meal, then walks away.
Great review, i think you sold me Sheesh more than this place, now personally i recently ate from "Steak on the green" in ealing. Absolute banger. shame "the meat co." have closed there branch in london but that was another favourite
Just thinking about this and them talking about wagyu beef: For £982, I reckon you can fly with a return ticket to Japan and go to a restaurant that serves the A5 wagyu beef, with current state of flights it can probably be done for 2 people.
Saltbae's business is uniquely distributed across social media and high end locales. But if the glaze of showmanship wears off, the steakhouse will want to show even rarer qualities of stamina and staying power.
Great review - really appreciated the balance and honesty. Salt Bae is a butcher by origin, so it's not surprising that he knows his meat, but he clearly needs someone who'll give the same sort of love to the vegetables. And while a bit of theatricality is fine and fun - we eat with all our senses, after all - there was way too much fussing and faffing about. That's more like invasion of personal space. As for feeding food to me, I wouldn't accept anyone doing that except my wife, a nurse (if I was incapable) or, when I was toddler, my mother. End of!
I swear the guy that owns the restaurant is breaking every basic rule in the industry. Don’t dry hump the customers’ table. Don’t touch the food unnecessarily. Don’t feed adults like you would a baby unless specifically requested.
i don't get why people are complaining about this, yea it costs a lot and so what? i live in Copenhagen and trust me one of the best Michelin star restaurants happens to be in the city center just 20-25 minutes from where i live, it's called Noma and they charge 282 pounds per person, so let's say if 7 people came along to the michelin star restuarant that would be over a grand and to be honest i've looked at the menu of Nusr-et's restaurant on their website and i gotta say it's quite reasonable 20-35 pound meals i honestly thought it would be a lot more while other michelin stars i've come across are probably 10x the price of that so it's not bad for the price it's very reasonable, sure it depends what u order but for a decent meal i don't see an issue.
*A man who says he's a former employee of Salt Bae's London restaurant has called it "McDonald's for rich people" for serving frozen fries, according to a Mail Online article published on Thursday*
I went to Core by Claire Smith, 3* Michelin - 8 courses, cocktail, bottle of wine, glass of port and coffee at £400 each (including 12.5% tip) - why do people waste their money on places like Nusret when for half the money they could eat the best food in the country?
Been watching your vids for a few weeks but this one made me sub. Worked in two michelin starred restaurants and the one thing I fucking hate more than anything else is pretension. I reckon this review was spot-on.
Excellent review ... Well that's cured restaurant envy ! I saw nothing new or exceptional on the plate .. In fact, I would have felt completely patronized by the over the top antics going on around your table ! I felt your comments after being "fed" steak summer it all up up really .. Great review thank you
That guy at 10 minutes in serving the Baklava 😂😂 has to be quite possibly the most ridiculous and cringe worthy thing ive ever seen ! Who on earth would think that that display of "cutlery skills" is impressive!! 😂😂😂
I chose the lecture room and library over this place, I am so glad i did. We literally had a 3 Michelin star meal cheaper. People will figure out soon enough it’s a gimmick.

It’s about the pride, prestige and extravagance. (Also, ripping off fools who are willing to pay for a £37,000 bill) 🤣
who's bill was that? did they ate a dragon steak there?
some people have a lot of money they don't know where to spend
The way they do all the faffing about with them knives, tapping them on the plate and on the food for no reason just does my head in. Absolute cringe and unbearable to watch.
Nice review. Never watched this channel before but it's good.
I am intrigued by the manager's assault on the dessert. Maybe he was having an off day?
10:07 why did they mash it up and squeeze it, then make sound effects?
So glad you have done this review. The country needs to know exactly what this place is all about. Keep up the good work, you are all legends 💪
I can't see this restaurant lasting long, complete disgrace to humanity on so many levels
@PrimeVids lol well you're wrong, most of the world is debating on this, even the celebrities dont come back apparently. All salt bae is doing is moving places, robbing people's money and repeat
Very happy this popped up on my feed. Subscribed!
Welcome!
Me watching this in my pj's eating spaghetti hoops, turkey dinosaurs and hash browns
"Looks alright"
Great review, your a natural comedian.
Considering the bill you paid, you werent rude or arrogant to the staff, and you can tell they enjoyed serving your team.
Agree with other comments, where the experience outweighs the food, and as a food reviewer, you can say you have reviewed the trend and viral character of "salt bae".
Got a new subscriber, keep up the good work💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
Great, honest review. Really enjoyed this 👍🏻
Intriguing mate, its the way forward for this channel imo. If it can be sustained financially of course!
Can't stand people overlooking me and interfering when I'm trying to enjoy a meal. Steak was rare, not medium to rare as stated by the waiter and you could get as much of that cut plus many other cuts of steak for £28 at my local rodizio. Fair play for trying it though.
Good review that chief, got your opinion across really well, without getting bamboozled by having the main man there. Top work!!
Fair play Matt for keeping it real and not just following the hype
The food might be tasty, but for 1000 £ you can buy not one but two cows from a farmer in most of eastern Europe. The beef price is roughly 7 pounds per kilo in supermarkets.
Love ya Jess and Matt...great review... appreciate your thoughts...great work ❤️
Great review, dude. Bloody expensive 😫 love watching ur podcast ❤
Good and honest review. I would prefer if they just brought the food and left it on the table instead of messing about with it, the waiting staff seemed to get quite close, although this is all part of the 'theatre'. Salt Bae seems really creepy though.
Wagyu ribeye for £60? Fact check. That most likely was not true Japanese wagyu. But everyone likes what they like. Good video. Cheers! 🍻🍻
I agree with what you say, a great meal is who you are with and what the food is like. The problem with going to this place is you know it is going to cost a fortune and that would be at the fore front of my mind all the time and make the experience less enjoyable. Definitely better places to go for an amazing steak without have to spend nearly £1000. Great review Matt 👍
Couldn't agree more. Goodman Steak house up the road in Mayfair has been wonderful on every visit, at a fraction of the cost of that Salt Bae pantomime.
Hey Mate 👋, loved the video. Just subscribed. Are you wearing Ray Ban Justins at the end and what’s the frame width on them ?
You could buy a whole cow for those prices, nothing more than daylight robbery!
Half a cow, but I take your point.
Racist!
"I've got salt in my socks" hilarious mate haha
Anyone getting outraged at the prices then you're clearly not their target audience. This place is for people who don't even look at the prices. They've probably thought it's better to have one table spending 2 grand on a meal than 10 tables spending 200 quid. They can give each and every customer their full attention. It makes no difference what so ever if its value for money, most people spend money they don't need to every day, some people just do it on a bigger scale. The fact is it shuts down if they don't get the customers in.
Exactly alot of hate to the guy but hes made it if your broke just dont go there go to your local chip shop lol
Awesome honest review! My favourite video of yours so far 👍
This guy will put the salt gritter lorry’s out of business soon with that dashing articulate finger sprinkle 🤭😂
Food does look amazing but prices me out big time, great vid👍
Me and my husband went to the one in Miami back in July for our 21st wedding anniversary. We got the burger and fries each and I think it was 70 something but the food was good and the restaurant was really nice. They also gave us complementary vanilla bean ice cream.
Oooh complimentary..... How reasonable
Dollars or pounds?
Says something about me that I wouldn’t go here even if it was free. What a faff! That boy messing about with dessert, them hanging about table etc do one!! Complete nonsense of a place although great review by yourself mate. Very honest
The restaurant is not made for boys like you to dine at lol
Very good review Matt, I agree with you, myself and my daughter have been to better places in London for less money, but absolutely great that you have given such an honest opinion.
First time ever on your channel! You actually look a really nice humble person!
Excellent review! To be honest, I thought the owner knowing you have spent a fortune in his restaurant would have been more talkative rather than pulling a few faces and throwing salt all over the place. Looking at the review I’d prefer to have spent the money at 2 different 5 star restaurants. Love every review you guys do
❤️
It's his theatric, a (mostly) mute, acrobatic chef who appears from the kitchen and majesticly cuts, salts and feeds you a piece of the meal, then walks away.
That's part of the character, he doesn't usually talk.
Great review, i think you sold me Sheesh more than this place, now personally i recently ate from "Steak on the green" in ealing. Absolute banger. shame "the meat co." have closed there branch in london but that was another favourite
Everytime I see Salt BAE I can smell his aftershave coming off the screen.
Same here.....i think its Paco Rabanne?
I can smell the spondulicks in his pockets.
@@judebogart yea I know.....the whole thing is unbelievable.Lunch time snack for three people.£1000.
Does that guy say chook a chook a chook as he cuts the food 😂
10:44
If I wanted another man feeding me meat from a fork I’d spend time in prison.
Great review. Thanks for this.
Just thinking about this and them talking about wagyu beef: For £982, I reckon you can fly with a return ticket to Japan and go to a restaurant that serves the A5 wagyu beef, with current state of flights it can probably be done for 2 people.
I love this comment. Plus you get to experience the culture and you get a nice trip out of it lol
Salt baes a proper knob - unrelated to his World Cup shenanigans
Saltbae's business is uniquely distributed across social media and high end locales. But if the glaze of showmanship wears off, the steakhouse will want to show even rarer qualities of stamina and staying power.
fuck man your reviews are really good. bit taken back by how honest they are.
Great review - really appreciated the balance and honesty. Salt Bae is a butcher by origin, so it's not surprising that he knows his meat, but he clearly needs someone who'll give the same sort of love to the vegetables. And while a bit of theatricality is fine and fun - we eat with all our senses, after all - there was way too much fussing and faffing about. That's more like invasion of personal space. As for feeding food to me, I wouldn't accept anyone doing that except my wife, a nurse (if I was incapable) or, when I was toddler, my mother. End of!
Great review! Very fair perspective.
Matt - How did you keep a straight face through all of that?? It was so hilarious and over the top!!
The internet has made Salt Bae….but it will also break him….my name is Legend…brilliant…one of the most enjoyable and informative reviews I’ve seen.
I swear the guy that owns the restaurant is breaking every basic rule in the industry.
Don’t dry hump the customers’ table.
Don’t touch the food unnecessarily.
Don’t feed adults like you would a baby unless specifically requested.
Great honest feedback. Yet to try it out cheers mate
Well done for taking the hit so others don't have to. But yeah...the theatre and location is what your paying for, not just gold things.
i don't get why people are complaining about this, yea it costs a lot and so what? i live in Copenhagen and trust me one of the best Michelin star restaurants happens to be in the city center just 20-25 minutes from where i live, it's called Noma and they charge 282 pounds per person, so let's say if 7 people came along to the michelin star restuarant that would be over a grand and to be honest i've looked at the menu of Nusr-et's restaurant on their website and i gotta say it's quite reasonable 20-35 pound meals i honestly thought it would be a lot more while other michelin stars i've come across are probably 10x the price of that so it's not bad for the price it's very reasonable, sure it depends what u order but for a decent meal i don't see an issue.
*A man who says he's a former employee of Salt Bae's London restaurant has called it "McDonald's for rich people" for serving frozen fries, according to a Mail Online article published on Thursday*
Bro!! Such a pleasure meeting u @ calvins event today . Took the time to chat true gent 👍
I went to Core by Claire Smith, 3* Michelin - 8 courses, cocktail, bottle of wine, glass of port and coffee at £400 each (including 12.5% tip) - why do people waste their money on places like Nusret when for half the money they could eat the best food in the country?
Been watching your vids for a few weeks but this one made me sub. Worked in two michelin starred restaurants and the one thing I fucking hate more than anything else is pretension. I reckon this review was spot-on.
Excellent review ... Well that's cured restaurant envy ! I saw nothing new or exceptional on the plate .. In fact, I would have felt completely patronized by the over the top antics going on around your table ! I felt your comments after being "fed" steak summer it all up up really .. Great review thank you
Great post.
Subscribed back again.
Top man.
Great review. 👍🏆🏆👍
This was class, I'm just waiting for my remortgage to be processed before I try it out 🤣
Lol there's no "class" to be found here. Drama for sure but no class
That guy at 10 minutes in serving the Baklava 😂😂 has to be quite possibly the most ridiculous and cringe worthy thing ive ever seen !
Who on earth would think that that display of "cutlery skills" is impressive!! 😂😂😂
I chose the lecture room and library over this place, I am so glad i did. We literally had a 3 Michelin star meal cheaper. People will figure out soon enough it’s a gimmick.
Watched your video on the Hand and Flowers yesterday. How did this compare. I don’t think I need to ask though
