SALT Bae has been slammed he was accused of chatting on his AirPods while serving customers a steak that cost them £500.
The celebrity chef has been under fire ever since he was accused of hijacking Argentina’s celebrations at the World Cup.
Salt Bae – real name Nusret Gökçe, – is seen with his Air Pods in as he carves up a steak tableside with his trademark swagger.
But the angry customer took to TikTok to complain – rating the internet star’s restaurant a dismal 1.7 out of 10.
Ehtisham Aziz shared the video – saying he paid £500 to have the musclebound butcher carve up his steak at his restaurant Nusr-Et in Doha, Qatar.
But he was left unimpressed as Salt Bae appeared disinterested as he seemed to be chatting to someone via his AirPods.

The guest branded him “super disrespectful” and also complained about the quality of the food in the video which has been viewed more than 4million times.
“Food was extremely expensive and staff was very rude,” wrote Mr Aziz.
He said having to pay for Bae to plate the steak tableside was “-20/10” while having him talking on his Air Pods was “-100000/10”.
He did however write seeing the chef sprinkling Salt over the steak was “pretty cool” in real life, saying that was ten out of ten.

The butcher then fed his brother a slice of the meat before they posed with him for a picture.
Mr Aziz claims they asked Bae to sign their cousin’s mini football – only for the sunglass-sporting star to then toss it away from them.
Some fans responded to Mr Aziz’s review by defending Salt Bae.
“Don’t hate the player, hate the game. Salt bae is a smart guy that profits off of wealthy people willing to pay for literally anything lmao,” wrote one user on TikTok.
Others mocked the fact the TikTok actually agreed to pay for Salt Bae to come and chop up his steak.
Rising to fame thanks to a viral video of hims sprinkling salt looking suave, Salt Bae’s chain of Nusr-Et restaurants are known for high prices and decadent gold-wrapped meals.
But he has courted controversy over the years – with some reviewers slamming his steakhouses as “rip offs”.
He has opened over 22 restaurants across the US, UK, Greece and Dubai.
And they remain popular, especially with celebrities – with Bae serving everyone from David Beckham to the late Maradona.
