  • Salt Bae’s Beverly Hills Steakhouse Closes

    Salt Bae’s Beverly Hills Steakhouse ClosesNusr-Et, Salt Bae's steakhouse in Beverly Hills, closed after 4 years. Known for gold-coated steaks and unique seasoning, the closure follows a Las Vegas location shutdown, but a new Vegas spot is planned.

    Nusr-Et’s Menu and Extravagant Offerings

    In Beverly Hills, Nusr-Et served a food selection of steaks from the char-grill, including the mustard-marinated Amor (#Saltbae’s Exclusive Reserve Cut), a thick-cut wagyu Woww steak, and the #Saltbae tomahawk. The restaurant likewise served a Golden Experience menu, with enough gold-gilded meat to begin another Gold Rush. A 24-carat gold-coated tomahawk went for $950, a gold Amor for $1,500, and a four-pound wagyu New york city strip steak for $2,000. Meat sushi with Parmigiano (separate from the beef carpaccio on the menu) was likewise served atop piles of sushi rice.

    Gökçe opened the first area of Nusr-Et in 2010, when only his instant target market could enjoy his salt-slinging, forearm-seasoning tactics. In the years following his abrupt increase to fame, Nusr-Et rapidly expanded globally and introduced a future location for Los Angeles. After years of growth and carrying on from its planned area in the Arts Area, Nusr-Et opened up in Beverly Hills in 2021. Gökçe was on-site for the opening weekend break to spray meat on request (hopefully, he had a strict forearm cleanliness method).

    Salt Bae’s Rise to Fame

    Gökçe, a Turkish butcher and cook, first penetrated the public awareness when a video clip of him cutting into a steak and afterwards spraying salt down his flexed lower arm onto the meat waiting below went viral in 2017. His limited little sunglasses and white tees instantaneously ended up being recognizable– he even recreated the notorious message, sunglasses and all, at the Cannes Movie Festival in 2019.

    Nusret Gökçe, much better referred to as Salt Bae, has sprinkled his last steaks in Los Angeles. The Beverly Hills outpost of Gökçe’s global steakhouse chain, Nusr-Et, suddenly closed on June 4, 4 years after opening up in 2021. In very early 2025, Nusr-Et shuttered its Las Vegas area, however plans to reopen in other places in the city.
