Inside Salt Bae’s new London restaurant Nuser-et with £630 steaks covered in gold and eye-watering £9 Coca Colas
EYE-WATERING £9 Coca Colas and £630 steaks are just the tip of Nusret Gokce's gold-coated iceberg
The flamboyant Turkish chef - known to his millions of followers as Salt Bae - recently opened his 15th restaurant, Nusr-et, in well-off Knightsbridge, London.
But he quickly began courting controversy, after a receipt showing a £630 charge for a single steak coated in 24-carat-gold went viral.
Even so, the enormous fees aren't putting wealthy Londoners off, as huge queues form outside the establishment with diners eager to witness him drizzle salt down his forearm in his trademark move.
Inside, those with bottomless wallets can enjoy various meat dishes - including a £100 golden burger - and pair it with a refreshing £9 glass of Coke.
A salad costs £23 and prawn tempura rolls cost £60.
Even smaller items come with a hefty price tag.
An onion flower costs £18, a Red Bull is £11 and a simple corn on the cob hits the £10 mark.
The menu - which also features cheesy meatballs, lamb chops and beef tenderloin with mustard sauce - does not include the prices for the luxurious dishes meaning some diners might be in for a surprise.
One hungry customer forced out a whopping £1,812.40 in total - with a £236.40 service charge.
And Gemma Collins recently dined on the tomahawk steak during a date night with her boyfriend Rami Hawash.
The triumphant opening is the latest chapter in Nusret's rags to riches story that saw him go from a butcher’s apprentice to a £38million fortune, a palace in his native Istanbul and a private jet to ferry him between his restaurants in the United Arab Emirates, Turkey and across the US.
THE SALTFATHER
His videos - showcasing his skill with a butcher’s knife and topless workouts - have earned him 11 million followers and he claims he is stopped by 1,000 adoring fans a day.
