It’s been a few years since Salt Bae went viral for sprinkling some gold flakes on a steak, but it’s safe to say that he’s cashed in on this fame by opening some of the most expensive restaurants in the world and making a pretty penny because everyone wants to eat at them due to his ‘celebrity’ status.

Trouble is that people might finally be cottoning on to the fact that his food is just a gimmick and not actually that good, as it’s been revealed that Salt Bae’s London restaurant is actually one of the worst ranked in the country. The results come courtesy of TripAdvisor where Nusr-et Steakhouse restaurant is listed in the bottom 1% of restaurants, placing 16,970th out of 17,542 – with only 69 places to eat worse than it in the whole of the UK.

Here’s a selection of some of the reviews (I know this first one is American but it was so long and detailed I had to include it):

Nothing from another world. Too much salt and I had tried better meat for less price. People these are becoming more ridiculous and superficial.

Only a fool would eat at a place like this…or maybe a wannabe influencer. This is a fad shop with a guy riding a following of those who like watching him play with meat.

He is not a chef, nor does his restaurant offer anything that exceeds expected and basic qualities of the food which is served.

The waiters were annoying and unprofessional. The food was cold and way overvalued. Can’t recommend anyone to go there.

I can’t express the excitement that I had on me when I got there to try the most famous delightful meat that I have heard and wondered about for a long time.. to my disappointment it was truly the worst meat I had in my life!!

Doesn’t seem like anyone is holding back there and you’ve gotta assume that they didn’t really have any reasons to be so harsh about the place unless it was actually that bad. Personally I don’t think I would ever pay the prices that have been quoted or really even want to go to such a dumb viral hipster spot to eat steaks, but I think it’s even less likely now. Hopefully you feel the same way as well because it really does seem like it would be a waste of money at this point. You could easily get the video/photo without actually eating there too. Don’t do it.

For more of the same, check out when Salt Bae got seriously weird in a video a few years ago. Shame that it wasn’t enough to cancel him there and then.
