What to Eat at Butcha Steakhouse How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Butcha Steakhouse, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. We still have more reviews to analyze, so the scores may change. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Beef liver Net +1
“Banger. We tried the hot mezze platter, the beef liver, and the ribeye steak spaghetti style. All dishes were very good. The beef liver and the mezze platter were superb. The seating is nicely done. Service was prompt though the food takes a bit of time to get ready. We passed on the desserts though the baklava seemed worth a try. We may ho back yet for the dessert to update. Recommended.”

“Kunafa is the perfect finale. Crispy on the outside, warm and gooey on the inside, with just the right balance of sweetness—it feels indulgent without being overwhelming. The cheese pull, the golden crust, and the fragrant syrup come together beautifully, making it a must-order. If you’re a Kunafa lover like me, Butcha’s dessert alone is worth the visit.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Prioritise steak. If choosing between dishes, lean toward steak: one reviewer found the burger good but noted steak is the speciality.
Try sharing. For two diners, consider the sharing appetiser, which one reviewer said provided a broad selection of meats.
Order tenderloin. The tenderloin is a safe first-order choice if you value very soft meat cooked to your preference.
Try signature salad. Add the Signature Salad; reviewers specifically call it a reason to return and a must-try with lamb chops.
Try Monday lunch. A Monday lunch was reported as empty, so it may be a calmer time to visit, though no consistent schedule is guaranteed.
Stamp parking. If driving, ask about stamping your parking ticket before leaving; one diner wished staff had reminded guests.

The Bottom Line
Butcha Steakhouse is a Turkish steakhouse and grill in Al Wasl where the main event is carefully cooked meat. Ribeye, tenderloin and Oyster Wagyu steak are among the dishes reviewers mention most enthusiastically, while the Signature Salad, mashed potatoes and fries give the meal some useful balance. The restaurant also serves hot mezze and other Turkish- and Levant-influenced dishes, so a table does not have to be steak-only.
The setting is described as warm, relaxed and nicely decorated, with indoor and outdoor seating. For a more occasion-led visit, the Chef’s Whole Tenderloin Steak has been served with a live fire station presentation, and kunafa is praised as a crisp, warm, gooey finish. Sharing appetisers for two are another practical way to sample several meats.
Service is usually the restaurant’s strongest supporting feature: reviews often describe attentive menu guidance, thoughtful pairings and friendly hospitality. There are a few cautions. One diner reported half an hour for a chicken breast and drink, then needing to ask for the bill three times; another reported severe stomach pain and a headache after eating.
A separate review found burger fries dry. If driving, remember to ask about parking-ticket stamping before you leave.
