Many people could not pay the 398,630 UAE dirhams bill because it was more than their annual salary. The customer went on a huge buying spree and bought $13 fries, three “Golden Steaks” that cost almost $1,400, and a bunch of expensive drinks, like porn star martinis and rare Louis XIII cognac.
On the ticket, it said that the customer had paid $1,250 for 11 “Golden Baklava” desserts and left a large tip of $24,500. Many people are angry and critical of the bill because it’s so big. They question the value for money and the luxury of such a meal.
People have said bad things about Salt Bae, whose real name is Nusret Gökçe, because his restaurants charge too much. But this most recent ticket has gotten a lot of attention, with many people shocked and confused by the amount that was spent. “Who the hell is spending $40,000 on a dinner?!!” asked one reviewer.
