AED 600,000 Restaurant Bill Goes Viral at Chef Nusret’s Abu Dhabi

If you’re in the Middle East and looking for a dining experience that’s OTT (over the top), Chef Nusret Gökçe, famously known as Salt Bae, offers exactly that at Nusr-Et Steakhouse in Abu Dhabi. Known for his dramatic flair and unmatched ability to cut, prepare, and season meat, Nusret’s luxury steak houses span 7 countries, making him a Turkish entrepreneur and an internet sensation.

Dining at Nusr-Et is a splurge for the senses. From gold-leaf-covered Tomahawk steaks to indulgent gold burgers, every item is crafted to wow guests. Theatrics aside, the quality of the meat is exceptional, and Nusret’s famous mantra, “Quality is never expensive,” resonates with diners who don’t mind the hefty bill. With dishes like Wagyu steaks priced at $200, paired with drinks such as Petrus bottles costing 325,000 AED and Louis XIII for 200,000 AED, this restaurant redefines luxury.

One particular evening at the Galleria Al Maryah Island garnered attention when a group of diners left with an invoice of 615,065 AED, sparking humorous comments and quips on Instagram. While the VAT and extravagant orders might explain the cost, the sight of banknotes on the counter left followers in disbelief. Even millionaire Manny Khoshbin joined in, laughing at the viral post.

From a simple Heineken at 55 AED to a spectacle with gold leaves, the experience is all about making memories. Whether you’re there for the food, the show, or the bragging rights of dining at the ultimate luxury chain, a night at Nusr-Et promises unforgettable moments.
