Salt BYE! Restaurateur 'Salt Bae' is set to leave his London Nusr-Et steakhouse ...

It will be Salt Bye from Salt Bae on Sunday, when the internet meme turned global restaurateur leaves London to open a new lavish eatery.

The meat-loving Turkish chef, 38, is jetting out to Saudi Arabia where he will cut the ribbon on his newest restaurant, in Riyadh.

It comes after Salt Bae - real name Nusret Gökçe - spent the last two months in London while opening and promoting his flagship restaurant, Nsur-Et.

The theatrical meat slicing chef has been a regular fixture at the Knightsbridge eatery, where diners have racked-up eye-watering £37,000 bills. 

While in the capital he has shown off his salt-smattering skills tableside for adoring fans, including Wayne and Colleen Rooney.

But he took to social media to announce he and his theatrical knife-wielding techniques will be heading off to Saudi Arabia to open his 28th restaurant. 

Sharing a picture of himself holding up a gold-covered Tomahawk steak - which costs £850 at Nsur-Et - he said: 'Sunday is my last day in London. I will go to Riyadh to open my 28th restaurant.'

Along with London, Salt Bae owns restaurants in Turkey, Greece, the United States, and Dubai, among other locations.

Salt Bae - who became an internet sensation after a video of him theatrically seasoning meat went viral - opened his Knightsbridge restaurant in September to mixed reviews. 

While the restaurant attracted a host of celebrity guests, many of whom swanned to the eatery to get pictures and videos with the man himself, it was slammed as 'a rip off' by others. 

A receipt posted to Reddit by an anonymous user showed an eye-watering £37,000 receipt from October 8, with the service charge alone totalling £4,829.10.

Shared with the caption 'Now this is just outrageous', it shows a Snapchat screengrab of the receipt, with the diner  complaining  'That's just taking the p***'.

The receipt shows that almost £30,000 of the meal was spent on expensive alcohol, while a gold-encrusted steak came to £850 and 20 Baklavas came to £600.

The cheapest items, besides the water, were the mashed potatoes and sautéed mushrooms which came to £12 each.

Commenting on the receipt, one Reddit user wrote: 'Daylight robbery. At least with Michelin you have somewhere that's been stringently deemed to charge high amounts. And it would cost about 37x less!'

However many users felt the customers were to blame, with one writing: 'Receipts from this place are just the latest social media flex. I don't know why anyone should care.'

Another added: 'Why do people keep posting receipts from a s***** restaurant? Is it some sort of anti-flex to say “I’m rich but also very very stupid and don’t have good taste”?' 

'It's a humble brag. Posting your receipt for a £30k meal whilst simultaneously expressing outrage at the cost,' another wrote.

Elsewhere one said: 'I'm not commenting on the price cos that's been established as largely from alcohol that these people specifically selected'.
