An honest review!
A lot of mixed feelings on the restaurant while going thru the review comments on this restaurant, so let me give my very honest opinion.
First and foremost: I gave it a four stars rating mainly due to the taste, quality, service and upscale ambiance of the place, one star short of five due to, hmm, prices on the golden collection of meats, that’s completely irrelevant for foods, at least not for grilled meat. Well!
So, before you decide to walk in to this place, remember that it is a Michelin Star type restaurant, that’s gonna cost you money, like many other high end places in Riyadh.
Why it’s expensive has a lot to do with the type of ingredients it’s uses, mainly the Australian Wagyu meat cuts that are still very costly even if you pick as raw meat cut out at any local meat shop, and of course let’s not compare Nusr-et with other meat outlets that offer Brazilian steaks. The cost in raw meat is a huge difference.
The meat, since it’s good quality of Wagyu, simply melts in your mouth like butter, and smokiness of charcoal grill adds a lot more flavors to it. One thing I noticed though is that they add generous amount of salt, the Salt Bae iconic style throws a lot of salt, so you can inform the team of a lesser salt at the time of order. You can always mimic Salt Bae at your table if you crave for more salty meat.
I will personally never order any gold meat or gold baklava, which for my type is a waste, only if they used premium Japanese Wagyu it would make it logical paying 3,750 SAR for a whole cowboy Steak of over two kilos. And don’t forget their expensive non gold cuts weight more so that 2/3 people can share it along with other more economical options on the menu.
We ordered also burgers, 130 SAR for a burger or a combo with only fries worth 155 riyals isn’t bad deal considering the premium everything they have used including the super soft Brioche bun and Wagyu meat inside.
The service was swift, professional, well trained waiters and managers, typical of a high end place.
I recommend it for special events, otherwise very nicely set decor and upscale ambience for burgers only that won’t cost as much.
I will definitely visit again with my teen kids.
