We had a lunch here to try the famous steaks and I have to say that they are quite good. We were very happy with the service and the food in general was really good! It is for sure pricy but overall if you can spend the money it does worth it. Also it is much cheaper than other locations around the world! So here it would be a good opportunity.

Nusret Steakhouse offers a superior dining experience with premium-quality steaks, luxurious ambiance, and expertly crafted cocktails. The meat is perfectly aged and grilled to perfection, while the elegant decoration and excellent service create an unforgettable atmosphere. A must-visit for those looking for high-end dining in Constantinople.

Gorgeous atmosphere and very attentive staff. I can’t stop thinking about my meal that I had here a year ago and can’t wait to go back! I would highly recommend stopping by if you’re in Istanbul, the prices are surprisingly affordable if you are an American tourist compared to Nuzret’s restaurants back in the US. The food and drinks were great, the server and bartender answered all of our questions and made great recommendations.

Been here for the first time. We went there with friends and business partners. The food overall was really good, inside of the restaurant was amazing and ambient was perfect. We needed a reservation, needed to wait for about 30min after we came to the restaurant. We had luck and met also Salt Bae, took some pics with him and he also had his famous meat carving and salting show. The meat was perfectly made. The experience wasn't cheap, we were 8 people, who ate really good, drank many cocktails and also some vine. I recomend it, if you will have luck you will see the face of the restaurant.

Well worth the experience of theatre and showmanship around meat and deserts. Don’t be afraid to ask to walk around and see the meat fridge, or more questions if they can cut the meat a certain way or so. I think you are slightly over whelmed if it’s your first time and just go with it. Just focus on what you would like to do, and ask, and I’m sure they will try to do what they can to make your night special. Recommend: - salad bowl and all salads you fancy. Prices are great and portion size is good. Went for a portion for 1 and shared with 2 people - don’t eat much before! It’s a big meal Cons: - only had one desert option - sometimes I felt a little uncomfortable with the server always being so attentive.

Great dishes we enjoyed everyhting! Would say tha the lamb chops were less special though they're really good🙏🏽 The dessert is absolutely perfect you have to try it! And overall the experience was really good with great service and meals presentations.

What a great dinner! It was my birthday, and I had very high hopes for this place. I could not wish for the service and the food to be better. My wife and I truly enjoyed the evening!

The food was delicious, the bread with the butter was so succulent! The steak tasted like… umm steak - there was nothing special, but it was good regardless. The main chicken dish was very palatable. The baklava show was pretty cool, but my waiter dropped the desert. The service was great anyways!

My first time to nusr-et and I was eager in anticipation to try. The service was so friendly. I received some local wine recommendations and it did not disappoint. The steak tartare and the lokum were excellent. This place stands out for the food it delivers. I’m very happy to say I would love to return to try some more dishes.

Beautiful decor, great ambience, and the food did not disappoint. The turkish beef platter in butter sauce was cooked beautifully. The creamed spinach was very nice but the steak tartare was a tad salty. Great place for a meal.

I’ve wanted to visit a Nusret restaurant for ages so as soon as I landed in Istanbul that’s where I went. We visited the restaurant in Macka Palas. It was beautiful, amazing decoration and beautiful atmosphere. The service was FANTASTIC, kind and helpful, they didn’t let us put food in our plates, they always did it for as. And for prices? It’s so cheap considering the prices in Europe and etc. I’ve eaten alot of steaks at some random restaurants and paid double prices. So paying cheap at a “Nusret” restaurant was a good thing. And the price for the whole experience was definitely worth it. We got an 600gr tomahawk steak, a ceaser salad, a baklava, a water and 2 beers and paid 120€ ITS A MUST IF YOUR IN TURKEY

Had an amazing dinner here with friend's.......the steaks are to die for!! Ambiance was stunning (out of a Great Gatsby movie) and the service was impeccable! It is my # 1 stop for dinner next time I'm in Istanbul!!

Very delicious meats, and nice presentation of the meals. We got the Nusr-Et Special Tenderloin cooked in butter on a hot plate with bread. Also tried their whole rack of lamb, cooked medium super tender and full of delicious fatty flavor. Also got the beef ribs, super soft and served with a nice homemade barbecue sauce. Also delicious beef sushi with crispy potato strips. Finally the must order Baklava served with ice cream.

Hats off to Salt Bae and his team. The ambiance was really amazing. There was a DJ making sure the music was upbeat though not overpowering. The wait staffs were expert and polite. The theatrics accompanying certain dish presentations were very practiced and just right. Filled to the brim with very well dressed beautiful crowd.

The food is really good! I just would not recommend the sushi option, and go full for the steak, is totally worth it! Also the burrata as a starter is super tasty! The place is beautiful.

Great food and service, consistency across branches

We ordered nusret special as always for our main course with onion flower and for our starter we decided to try ceaser salad. The food was amazing and the restaurant was calm and peaceful.

It’s the best place for meet! So tasty and presentation is very nice! Very good service, highly quality, nice atmosphere! Has a terrace and dj at evening. If I’m fancy meet it’s only a place! Amazing dish call lokum super soft! And goat Cheese salad) actually all dish r tasty!

Me and my family really enjoyed this experience the kids loved the burgers and chips . Burhan was amazing.There was also a book corner which had many great and interesting stories.I recommend it for you!❤️

We had an amazing experience here. The restaurant staff were very friendly, helpful and professional, especially Emra. Given the food quality and service, the price was very reasonable.

Wow! Lets make it crystal clear. The warm welcoming that you get at Nusret, is top notch. Something i have never experienced before like this. The food is very delicious! Prices are totally okay, like everywhere they serve meat. Can‘t wait to visit this place again!

Thank you so much to Emrah for the service ! We have a lovely dinner with my family ! Food was delicious and we had the chance to meet Saltbae in person !! Will definitely come back !

Great food, great customer service. We really enjoyed our time. The kids loved the burgers and the steak… meat was phenomenal. Burhan was amazing and made us all feel very welcome. Thanks and will come back again soon.

Wow!!! Is an understatement at this fine dining restaurant From the minute you walk in until you walk out the experience is a wow factor. The saying “you get what you pay for” is literal at this restaurant. Decore oozes elegance style and class. The staff very professional and friendly. The meat AMAZING!!! I do not eat meat at the best of times one of the rare and only occasions is at Nusr Et. Never disappoints. I had the beef ribs with truffle fries and mash. The meat literally melted in my mouth. The pomegranate salad I could eat for days and not get sick of. My son ate the antrikot and he stated it was amazing. We had the golden baklava and crème brûlée which sent me to heaven. I went to the ladies which was a total experience in itself. I was even handed a hand towel. Yes I paid significant only two beers. $480 but it was well worth it.. PLEASE OPEN ONE IN SYDNEY BARANGAROO!!!!

Great compliments for the waiter Enes! Enes was extremely friendly, professional, and always had a smile on his face. He was attentive, quick to respond, and made us feel truly welcome. The service was excellent, and his positive attitude really made our experience even better. Highly recommended!

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and everything was perfectly prepared. A very special thank you to Mr. Burhan and Mr. Ismail for their exceptional service. They were incredibly attentive, friendly, and made the whole visit feel truly special. I can highly recommend this place and will definitely come back!

Tried their steak — perfectly cooked and super tasty 🥩! Amazing ambience, friendly staff, and very clean. The beef carpaccio is great too if you’re into it 😋. Not for those who don’t love meat! 🔥

This is a really great restaurant with great service.The staff was very professional. Even the toilet attendants had excellent service.

You went there for the experience. You get much better steaks from US for the same price or less. We ordered the salmon sushi, avocado salad, two veggie side dishes, giant tomahawk steak and lamb chops. It was plenty of food for two senior couples. The lambs were good but the steak was on the rare side and not tender by any standards. Even though we requested medium rare, we needed to send it back to sear a bit more. We were lucky that SaltBae was there that night to slice the steak for us. Overall it was a fun meal. You go there for the show. If you want really good steak, go somewhere else.

The hostess was not friendly nor was the wine sommelier (After we chose a reasonably priced wine). Our main waitress was very nice. We were in the first room white with red floors. Very loud western music playing. Kids and babies crying (even throwing food on the floor). Did not like the room. We would of had a different experience I thing in the second room. The steaks were very good. Perfectly cooked and the sliders were as well. Dessert was nice. Good food mediocre experience.

The food was very good, but unfortunately when we visited they had none of their steaks available except the Kobe, was amazing honestly. We had no other choice than to order lamb instead. The service was on point, and everything else was perfect.

Honestly Nusret is just a food experience for me. And I don’t wanna repeat it again due to quality of service and ofc menu price. Knowledge of the staff about what they’re serving was so disappointing. I really enjoyed the steak and fries that I ordered but not the sides. Wine variety was fine but overpriced. If you wanna try once, go for it but lower your expectations about service quality.

I had lambchops and truffle fries and the baclava for dessert. I've had better lambchops in cheaper restaurants to be honest. The service in the restaurant is decent, atmosphere is okay but its very pretentious. You get the feeling that people go here to be seen, which is a bit cringe in my opinion. It's overrated and overhyped because it didnt feel like the food was the main focus of the restaurant.

Food was great although medium well wasn’t achieved it’s more medium rare . Otherwise everything was lovely

We ate here for New Year’s Eve the food was amazing can’t fault it but the service was seriously lacking. The first waiter refused to give us sauce. The second waiter couldn’t understand why he said no and went off to ask the second waiter eventually brought us the sauce we asked for. We waited for someone to take our dessert order no one came then waited over 30 mins to order and we’re told they only had one option from the several on the menu which I couldn’t have as it was nut based. We had to send our drinks back as they gave us soda water instead of a mojito. The food was top tier it’s a shame the service was so so awful.

Food was average. Prices are reasonable though

The worst food experience I had in my whole trip of Istanbul. These guys are there with 1 single motive and that is to cheat on Tourist. Istanbul being hub of Tourisim, they are blook sucking restaurant for Tourists. When we reach there, it was all empty and restaurant next door "MidPoint" was full, "MidPoint" is where locals go and Saltbae is what lives on the blood of tourist. By the time we were leaving say around 45 minutes there, 1 x Arab guy came in tourist, 1 English type couple was there, tourist and 2 girls came in. That's it!!! Food was SUPER expensive. A burger for 800TL that is almost 80AED and Steak for 1900TL that is 190AED. Stake worth 1900 was served on a iron platter without any sauce just 6/7 slices of beef meat. My burger was served without any sauce in it and the bun seemed from yesterday as it was pretty hard and dry to eat. When we asked for saunce we were told that we will have to buy the sauce seperatly. 1900TL Steak and saunce you buy seperatly. Service level was such that the serving staff was the celebrity chef themselves, Internet was super bad, sitting envoirment was like a road side stall. If you think my opinion about food, service or atmosphere is in correct then just look next door and you will know what should be atmosphere, taste, i did not try "MidPoint" but i am sure they will be good by the number of locals sitting there. Save your money and dont be a tourist trap to them.

The quality of the food does not mach the prize. I've paid 210€ for 2 persons. Tourist trap 100%. There are many other places better

The moment you walk in, the hostess at the entrance visibly scans you from head to toe. Not a quick glance, but a slow, deliberate evaluation of clothing and shoes. Before a single word is exchanged, you are being sized up. In any professional service environment, this kind of body language is disrespectful and unacceptable. We asked for a table for two. Instead of simply seating us, the first response was the unnecessary question of whether we were planning to eat or just drink. After that, we were escorted to a table without being asked where we would like to sit. This is the key issue: almost all guests were seated in the main front area, where the atmosphere is. We were deliberately placed in a separate, secondary section where no other guests were sitting at all. Completely empty. From a restaurant perspective, this makes no sense unless guests are being sorted. The only obvious difference was our appearance. We were dressed casually. No suits, no evening outfits, just normal clothing. There is no dress code at this restaurant. And even if there were one, I am going out to eat steak, not attending a formal gala. The placement clearly felt like a decision based on appearance rather than hospitality. Even the seating itself was handled poorly. No explanation, no “your waiter will be with you shortly”, no sense of service. At that point, it was clear this place was not for us. I stood up, walked back to the hostess, and asked to be removed from the list. Calm, neutral, and repeated several times: it simply does not fit for us. A waiter then joined the conversation. His first reaction was to ask whether we did not like the table and to offer to seat us somewhere else. That statement alone confirms everything. While speaking to me, he continued scanning my body, shoes, jacket, sweater, even my face. Not listening, just assessing. The looks from both of them were not apologetic, but judgmental and irritated, as if observing a problem rather than losing guests. As for the food itself: the restaurant is conceptually outdated. I come from a butcher family and know what high-quality meat actually is. What is served here is basic, standard-grade meat. Nothing exceptional in quality, aging, or structure that would justify the prices. A bit of theatrical presentation, salt-throwing, and showmanship does not turn average meat into a premium product. Wrinkled tablecloths and gimmicks do not equal exclusivity. Overall: guests are judged by appearance, artificial high-society attitude, average meat at extreme prices. No genuine hospitality, no respect, no substance behind the show.
