Nusr-Et Steakhouse New York

"Part of Salt Bae's restaurant chain, known for its luxurious dining experience and controversies surrounding employee lawsuits." - Janna Karel

"It has now been over a year since Salt Bae splashed into NYC dining with the opening of his notoriously overpriced steakhouse Nusr-Et. Despite financial issues faced by the owning group, Salt Bae’s restaurants remain open." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya

"Nusr-Et in NYC, opened in January, is a Turkish steakhouse by Nusret Gökçe. Critics found the dinner overpriced with mediocre steaks, while some enjoyed the dining experience. The restaurant has a 150-seat capacity." - Carla Vianna

"Special Sushi at Nusr-Et Steakhouse: Perhaps the most ill-conceived dish of the year is the so called special beef sushi at Salt Bae’s restaurant Nusr-Et, which was all misplaced panache and no flavor. Tiny lozenges of sushi rice are formed, then smothered in miniature cloaks of raw shaved beef. They are then incinerated with a blow torch as awe-struck diners look on, partly in fear. Finally, some potato straws are crushed on top for this meager appetizer (three pieces for $20). One piece barely constitutes a single bite." - Robert Sietsema

"Order the baklava at Nusr-Et NYC for a tableside presentation that makes no sense but is entirely unforgettable." - Aaron Hutcherson
