This video captures a visit to Salt Bae’s renowned headquarters, **Nusr-Et Steakhouse Etiler**, in Istanbul, Turkey. The creator explores the restaurant’s ambiance, menu, and food, emphasizing the unique presentation and the chef’s signature **salt-sprinkling technique**. The review also compares the dining experience with an attempt to recreate the dishes at home.
One of the most fascinating aspects of dining at **Nusr-Et** is the theatrical presentation of each dish. Even without a YouTube spotlight, Nusret and his team meticulously deliver each item with flair—whether it’s the mesmerizing **gold-plated lamb ribs**, which appear amid a dramatic mist, or other meticulously crafted dishes. This is **fine dining at its most visually captivating**, where every element is designed to delight both the palate and the eyes. The staff takes their performance so seriously that they wait for the cameras to roll before unveiling the spectacle.
A **full-course meal for two**, including dessert, was surprisingly affordable—**under 200,000 won**. The level of presentation and service at that price made me wonder how much an equivalent experience would cost in Korea! **I highly recommend Nusret in Turkey**—for reference, my visit took place in **2019**.
Beyond the food, what truly sets this place apart is its **staff**—not just their friendliness, but their passion for the performance, which reflects the energy of their owner. Dining here is more than just a meal; it’s an **immersive experience**, turning visitors into part of the spectacle. It’s rare to find a restaurant that is both **world-famous** yet **warm, lively, and hospitable**, making it a true **ambassador of Turkish hospitality**. If anything, I envy not just the food—but the **vibrant spirit of the people behind it**!
