“It’s cheaper to fly and have food at Salt Bae’s Turkish restaurant than to go to the London one. £9 for coke. £630 for Tomahawk steak. No thank you,” wrote a Twitter user and shared a bill with a total of £1,812, nearly 1,82,000.

Another Twitter user re-shared the image with the caption “44 great British pounds for 4 redbulls… having a laugh.”

People posted all kinds of comments while reacting to the tweets. Just like this Twitter user who wrote, “It's way cheaper to fly to Turkey and go to the original restaurant.”

“You can eat so much better for so much less in London. We go for Michelin starred dim sum and pay 1/8th of this!” wrote another.
