We wanted to be part of the hype while visiting Istanbul so we made an effort to visit on Thursday March 21st 2019 at 7:30pm. The distance from our hotel to the restaurant was only 9.8 KM (per gps) but it took us an hour and a half getting stuck in the traffic. It was nice of them to accommodate us besides being late for half an hour. The location is pretty cool located in an upscale neighborhood but overly crowded. The line started from outside. Ppl waiting in the lobby were on top of each other. It was chaos inside-practically a zoo. Our server disappointed us by not allowing us to order any steak items from the menu and pushed us to order the lamb items or beef strips that doesn't require too much prep/cook time. He practically said that steaks are NOT available tonight. It was a total mood killer So we didn't order any appetizers, salads, alcoholic beverages and desserts-only ordered burger, ny strip and 2 lamb items. I must admit that the menu pricing was reasonable as compare to NYC. Our bill came out to $130. We ate, paid our bill and got the hell out of there. Too crowded, too chaotic and not worth the hype! read more

Nusr-Et Steakhouse - Amazing in your mouth !!!! - Steakhouses Near Me - Istanbul, 34

The food was amazingly delicious!! I made a reservation and last minute another person wants to join us when we arrive there the girl outside who is taking reservations to table was super annoyed and rude to us. I didn't like her attitude. Even you have an appointment you still have to wait on the line for your name to call. Unfortunately you can't stop those rich spoiled people who has attitude being rude to others! We definitely love the burgers , steaks and salad. Workers are friendly and professional. Baklava in the end was fabulous!! Definitely go there with an reservation and make sure you are going little earlier than your time. I don't think it's kid friendly or family friendly. We went there large group of 8 with a kid. For dinner it's not family kid friendly at least, maybe in lunch time it might be different. The restaurant is super loud with music. It's kind of impossible to hear others on your table. I think music should be lower. read more

The ambiance is exciting and the food was good. Our server, however, pushed the signature gold lamb. When we opted against it, he basically ignored us the remainder of the meal. We relied on other servers to get what we needed thereafter. I'd give the place at least one more star if the service experience wasn't so bizarre. We went for a good time and great meal. We came back with a good meal and an odd time. read more

Point by point review of our unfortunate dinner experience at Nusret from entering to leaving: 1- Reservations were not acknowledged and we had to wait like all the walk-ins. The place was obviously and carelessly overbooked by at least ten tables, on purpose maybe even to increase the hype. Host did not bother giving us a waiting time and responded with "don't know can be 5 min can be 2 hours". This is a recurrent issue based on reviews 2- As soon as we headed towards our table I couldn't help but smell a bad, moist, stench. Did not help with the appetite. Place has no circulation and is in deep need of renovation 3- Waiter came to say hi 30 minutes after sitting. He bullied us into ordering overpriced wine/champagne and a "set" of salad and meats. All of which we said no thank you because we had wanted other things, to which he made obvious he was annoyed about. Advice: don't be pushed into ordering what they want 4- Tomahawk steak made it to us rare even though we ordered it medium. Waiter was no where to be found for 15 min so we ended up eating it as it is. Actually had to leave half of it because we're not used to rare. Waiter forgot to cut it initially as well because it was so busy 5- The so called Nusr-Et special finally made its way one hour after ordering. 6- Three hours after entering this dump we paid the overpriced bill and left. If you want steak, go to a steakhouse. This is NOT a steakhouse. It's a zoo and Nusr-Et should be ashamed of himself for maintaining this circus read more

Nusret benim favori steak house restoranım. Ben keskin kuralları olacak kadar kendine güvenen yerlere bayılıyorum. Nusret te keskin kuralları olan bir yer.İlk olarak adamların menüsü yok. Menü istediğin garson sanacanlı menü getirdim diyerek espiri yapıyor ve kendisi yardımcı oluyor size. Nusret'in size pahalı geleceğini düşünüp gitmekten vazgeçmeyin. Burada çok para ödemeden keyifle yemek yeme yöntemleri mevcut:) ilk olarak Salata gibi gereksiz şeyleri almaktan kaçının. Gerçekten canınız istemiyorsa şarap açmayın ve her ne kadar tadı mükemmel olursa olsun ortaya kafes söylemeyin. Bu şekilde ödediğiniz miktarın düştüğünü göreceksiniz. Ayrıca köfte seviyorsanız çok lezzetli kaşarlı köfteleri var. Steak sevenleriçin de new york'u tavsiye edebilirim. read more

A flight of meat consisting of dry aged delectable organic halal meat that is mind blowing is a must while visiting Istanbul. The meat melts in your mouth. You cannot go wrong with any cut including meat sushi and ribs. The founder was a butcher who now delights his guest with the finest cuts from well treated cattle and then wows his guests with exquisite presentation and flavor. I applaud you, Nusret. Your name is evident this restaurant was your fate as "et" means meat! read more

Nusr-Et Steakhouse - Delectable ribs - Steakhouses Near Me - Istanbul, 34

Overview - The Good: Excellent cock-tails and sides. Bad: Served a cold, very fatty steak, Horrible service, Waitstaff blaming customers, would not rectify, ignored at table, had to flag down people for service, walk inside to get check. Management lied about getting manager as we waited and waited and waited. Killed vibes for last night in Istanbul As a Texan, and someone who can appreciate a fine steak, I was very excited to try Nusr et while in Istanbul. The night started out fantastic, but by the end we were just crushed, angry and flat out disappointed and attempting to leave as quickly as possible. We made a reservation ahead of time for 10PM many days in advance, and arrived at 9:30 to find the place absolutely packed. We checked in and had some drinks at the bar until it was our time to be seated. The cocktails were phenomenal and rival some of the best / high end mixology bars in the states. The bartenders have absolutely radiant personalities and are just really cool guys and make great conversation. A DJ was playing smooth house music and everything was amazing at this point. Right around 10, we were called to be seated which was excellent as we made it to the table right at our reservation time despite the large queue of people waiting to get in. Our waiter took our orders for drinks and appetizers. The appetizers were brought out and just like the drinks, were excellent. The rocket salad was packed with flavor. We ordered two Dallas Steaks at the previous recommendation of the bar man from our wait inside. This is where things began to go down hill quickly... The steaks were brought out and dropped off at the table as the waiter walked away. Note: All steaks here are immediately cut by the wait staff or designated meat cutters as this is part of the presentation. We waited, and waited, and waited, but our waiter had disappeared. After 4 minutes I literally was having to wave my hands to flag someone down to cut the steak. Waiting some more. Finally around 8 minutes after, we have someone cut the steak - which is now cold (we ordered it medium rare). We asked the meat cutter to please call the waiter over because we were not happy. Instead of offering to replace the steaks, the waiter said that he could "re-heat" it for us. I pointedly told him, reheating the steak would ruin the taste, and you cannot re cook a cooked steak. He balked and said this is all he could do. At that point we were relegated to eating our cold steak. Trying to stay positive, eating through it even upset us further as the majority of the steak was fat ~30% and we were just cutting away piece after piece after piece away instead of enjoying the steak which just upset as further. When the bar man from inside came to check up on us, and I told him what had happened he was very saddened. He asked me why I had not come to the bar to tell him and called over the waiter to ask what happened. The waiter said that no one came to cut the steak in a timely manner, but then started blaming and putting the fault on my girlfriend saying that it was her decision not to have the steak "re-heated". I was shocked by the lack of professionalism. The bar tender offered us dessert on him, which was a nice gesture, but we should not have been charged for the steak. At this point, the waiter flat out disappeared for the rest of the night and refused to come by our table. Before during and after dessert, over 30 minutes passed and not once did he come to our table. I had to leave my table, track him down inside and ask for him to please give us our check so we could get the hell out of there. Another manager saw me and asked how everything was. I explained and he apologized and said he would get the "big manager" to come by and talk with us. We waited and waited and waited as he stood there - this never happened. We felt humiliated, and most of all saddened by the experience. On what was supposed to be our last night in Istanbul and going out with a bang was instead, some of the worst service and humiliating experiences ever. The restaurant did not offer and would not remove the steaks. I really wanted to like this place, but I cannot recommend this place in good conscience to anyone. You're better off and will be happier getting a doner kebap from Taksim for 12 turkish lira (~$2.50 USD). read more

Had a reservation that booked 4 weeks in advance but still had to wait 45 minutes for our table. Food was alright but the service waiter scammed us and didn't give us back the $100 bill change even though we tipped him. I had mixed opinions before I went but the negative experience overall took place. #Over_priced #Under_Deliver read more

Had a reservation @9 pm. Came at 8:45, waited around until after 10 pm & still wasn't seated or acknowledged. Super disappointed. Was excited to try the steak but not worth the long wait. What's the point of reservations if you don't even get seated within an hour? read more

Very expensive and the food is horrible. The service is very bad. They don't like to service women even though you are paying the same money as men. read more

Located in the european part of Istanbul near the Bosphorus in a very decent area, this restaurant is dedicated illed meat. As soon as you enter the place you can see on the left side huge frdidges full of pieces of beef and lamb, and on the other side a giant wood coal grill runned by a dozen of cookers. The atmosphere is quite vibrant, mainly full of tourists but the the experience really worth it. You seat on a wooden table and can order many types of grill meat; all of them perfectly cooked. read more

Nusr-Et Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Istanbul, 34

The meat is great, but service was horrible!! Super crowded and ridiculously loud music. Very commercial, what a disappointment.

Came here with my wife and we had an amazing time. Keep in mind that it's super busy almost all the time so even if you have a reservation you may have to wait up to 45 minutes. Started with the beef sushi, which was not only delicious, but they bring out the beef sushi raw then use two blowtorches to cook them right in front of you for an awesome experience. We had the beef ribs as our main dish and they were the best beef ribs we've ever had. Ended with baklava which was also amazing, as expected. read more

Best food I had in Istanbul. Good quality meat and the service is excellent. We came here twice during our visit and both times were a great experience! I would definitely go back. And it's a fun experience! read more

Beautiful restaurant, food and service are excellent! Highly recommend this place! Would give 10 stars for it if was possible!

Expect to wait a hour to sit down, even with a reservation. And, your waiter will most likely ignore you the whole time. But if you can put up with all of that, you will experience some of the best steak anywhere in the world. And unlike their American locations, the prices here are actually reasonable. I recommend the Dallas steak (ribeye). read more

I went in 2019 and it was amazing! We ordered the gold steak and it was one of the best meats in my life, sorry the best, but don't tell my mother! read more

Now, I enjoy fine red meat as much as the next earth-wandering epicurean and I reached an enlightened state during my lunch here. The occasion was a business lunch and my colleague and I decided to let the locals make the selections. Beginning with very flavourful goat cheese and farm salads, I couldn't wait to dive into any one of the mesmerising, sometimes sizzling, dishes that whizzed past our table. Finally, it was time, and the extraordinary plates my Turkish brethren ordered began to arrive. We tasted the Nusret Kobe, Beef Chop with Mustard Sauce, Tenderloin Strips, Asado Beef Ribs, and the Rack of Lamb. Maybe each dish outperformed the previous; but maybe it was just the first time my taste buds were awakened by such delights. Somehow, we saved room for the most lip-smacking Baklava ever to grace my palate paired with the traditional Turkish coffee. I will being going for a steak, not a kebab, next time in Istanbul thanks to Nusr-Et Steakhouse. read more

The service was terrible, the entire staff was not accommodating. When asking questions about the menu, they give you 30 seconds to make your order and run off to another table. They are under staffed. Everything is drenched in butter - just because it is cooked with butter doesn't mean it will taste good. I came all the way from Beverly Hills and I was truly disappointed. Was really looking forward. The Nusret special was nothing to ride home about. What a waste of $200 read more

They better learn what customer service means before they open a restaurant in NYC! After sending my food back to kitchen twice, i still didnt get how i want it! Even though i told them i paid my one drink at the bar still, get questioned by stuff twice, who i paid? When i paid?.. maybe i get the second one??... unbelievable... pay 300, but fight for 20 bucks.. read more

They better learn what customer service means. You have wait to sit down, even with a "reservation"!!! Hafta sonu yogun olabilecegi tahmini ile iki gun onceden rezervasyonumuzu yaptirdik.

Bize siraya girmemizi soylediler birazdan ilgenecekleri dile getirdiler. Ancak biraz bekledikten sonra boyle bir kaos, dugun ortaminda yememeye karar verdik. Paranla rezil olmak diye buna denir!!

I really don't understand the great reviews for this place. In my experience, this is a below-par, overpriced steakhouse, without even a view to justify the high prices, poor service, and mid-grade food. The exception to this sea of mediocrity was the sommelier - he was knowledgeable and friendly, and was able to recommend a very nice Turkish wine similar to a GSM. The rest was entirely forgettable - these guys have NO IDEA how to cut or cook what I'm sure was a very delicious piece of Kobe beef. They thin-sliced it and then over-cooked it. Sigh. The sides (pureed spinach and baked potato) were ok - but just ok. Steak tartare - also just ok. The baklava and ice cream that everyone raves about was fine, but nothing spectacular. Plus, they were out of all flavors but one. Sad. And the service was abominable - rushing us ALL THE TIME and the place wasn't even full. Not like they needed to turn the tables quick - they sure weren't gonna get a lot of tips, the way they were acting. Total came to about 800 TL - which would be fine for great food and solid service. Here, I felt like I got robbed. WOULD NOT come back. read more

On May 24 and 25, 2018I visited the restaurant in the Barraza in Istanbul. My friends in Istanbul said it was a "must" place and since I was at the Barraza we had a late lunch. The meat was excellent and the service was good until I noticed the bottom of my baked potato was rotten. Yes I got a taste of the rotten potato which ruined the meal for me. I told the wait, and he ignored me like so, what do you want me to do. I thought for the price he would have at least offered to replace the potato, but he said nothing and walked off. Why did I go back a second time, it was with a different friend. The desert baklava was excellent, and I would go back again just for the desert. Waiting for the restaurant to open in Los Angeles, you can bet they will need improvement on their service and quality of potatoes they service or they will get only back reviews. read more

Nusr-Et Steakhouse - Best chef ever. - Steakhouses Near Me - Istanbul, 34

Everything is fine. Food is amazing. But I think it's a little to hyped up. A little overrated but it's a great experience

I took my son here for a special lunch. I knew it was expensive going in, but after reading many reviews, decided I would go for the burger lunch menu (which isn't on the menu) and splurge for a steak for my son. If you know what you are getting into, you can have a fantastic experience here. First, the place is truly exorbitantly expensive. But, we greatly enjoyed ourselves. I like the location in the old China Grill spot. Classic NYC. We had great attention from our server, Ali. As mentioned, I ordered the burger lunch special and it was one of the top five burgers I think I have ever had. Simple, great flavor, melted cheese, and a perfect bun. Awesome meat. Awesome burger. The fries that came with it - perfect. And the baklava for dessert was awesome. Lunch special for $30... that's as good as one can do in NYC. My son had the $100 steak and loved it. The presentation was great, the waiter even fed him the first bite. He shared my fries and the baklava. We spent $150 for lunch... but it was something special and we thought the food was terrific. You are paying for the experience and that's quite a premium. That said, we loved the food, service, atmosphere, and isn't that what a meal is all about? I'd take my whole family there for four burger lunches :-). Thanks to Ali for taking great care of us and making sure we had a terrific time. My son and I will never forget our great lunch at Nasr-ET! read more

Second visit to Turkey, fist time at Nusr-et. Our group had reservations for 6PM, This was Friday evening, the place was packed, no surprises there. We waited about an hour for our table, no biggie, While we waited, we got a chance to talk to several people and make a lot of new friends. The place was very live, lot's of smiling locals and tourists, great atmosphere, it was contagious I must say. Everyone was talking about Nusr-et and wondering if he was at the restaurant, we were hoping to get selfies, but it didn't happen. The wait staff was very busy, but surprisingly enough, considering the rush, we got our food fast. The meat was amazing, it didn't despoilment. We order different meats to share between us, we got the, Dallas Steak, The Kobe, Rock of Lamb and the Nusret Special and a few starters. The food met all our expectations, we all knew the place was busy, but the service was fair, our main focus was to try the legendary food. I have been eating all over the world, this one? Five Stars all the way, well worth the price. We were a bit sad we didn't get to see the man, but we left happy and very satisfied. We will be in Istanbul in the summer of 2018, we will return without a doubt but in the meantime, we are counting the days for Miami and New York. read more

Absolutely loved Nusr. I am a fan of the Turkish steakhouse. Would be a huge hit in the States.

This branch is way better then the main one. Helpful staff, good service, and same taste as the main branch

The food is amaaaaazing and so YUMY!,friendly waiters.. Atmosphere is very good too ,, but i would recommend you to make a reservation before going there , its always busy and crowded ., AND don't miss the baklava with the ice creme. read more
