Nusr-et Steakhouse is a Steakhouse by Chef Nusret Gokce who is known by the name Chef Salt Bae.

Nusr-Et Steakhouse is in almost 30 locations across the world including places like Istanbul, Dubai, London, Mykonos, Miami, and LAS VEGAS just outside of the New York New York Casino/Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. Quality flake salt is the signature of this restaurant and it is sprinkled on most things savory.

The steaks run up in Price to $1,500.

Nusr-Et also offers a three course Lunch Special for $39.00. I thought this would be an amazing opportunity to try Nusr-Et.

The Las Vegas location looks like this with a big modern attractive bar in the middle of the lower floor of the restaurant.

A larger than life portrait of Chef Salt Bae is in the middle of the room.

We shared the appetizers and started with the salmon tartare. It sure looks AMAZING but doesn’t taste amazing.

It taste like salmon that is mixed with mayonnaise on top of creamy avocado that is embellished on the top with crisp (maybe freeze dried) capers (I don’t think they are fried because when capers are fried they open up like flowers …and have some flavor). On the plate is an artistic red splat that looks incredible but doesn’t add anything……….Honestly I think a few ingredients are missing from this dish today.

Next we share the best of what I tried at Nusr-Et.

It a BIG Nusr-Et Salad. (greens, tomato, apple, walnuts, feta, raisins, cherries, pomegranate dressing)

The salad is big and fresh. Everything is fine here.

Now on to the mains…..I’ll show my husband’s main first because the picture shows what is wrong better. He got the 5 oz. New York Strip with mashed potatoes.

You can tell just by looking at the photo that this doesn’t taste good. THE STEAK is tender but THE STEAK IS GREY. It’s NOT SEARED. The grill marks look like they possibly could be painted on? The steak is salted but other than salt it’s tasteless………Sadly to admit that the mashed potatoes are stomach turning to be. They are gluey……..I KNOW that for $39. for three courses I don’t expect a high quality steak but it is so easy to make a cheap steak taste at least good……..Don’t mean to brag but even I can make a cheap steak taste good….see picture below.

Would you prefer this? (sometimes I salt crust the potato)

Or this?

ANYWAYS-

I got the 5 oz filet mignon. It sure looks better and also is tender but also is next to tasteless……..Salty and not much else. To me the mushrooms are too salty too.

We also shared a side of macaroni and cheese.

It looks great and does taste like it was made with real cheeses but has a weird texture and doesn’t taste right. It’s very grainy and the sauce looks good but taste like it is missing something…………..It’s missing either butter or milk….take like cheese and water……(maybe that is why it’s grainy?)

The baklava is ok…….and not too sweet.

Never had Turkish Ice Cream before so I’m not sure what it is suppose to be like but this I can’t stomach. My husband can’t eat it either……..It’s so strange. It’s sort of hard and chewy in a really weird way.

To me the three course $39.00 lunch at Nusr-Et was disappointing.

I do note that your experience and taste may indeed differ.
