Our story

A table where cultures meet.

Kashkar is named for the historic oasis city on the Silk Road. Our menu carries that crossroads spirit into Brighton Beach: hand-pulled noodles, cumin-scented lamb, crisp samsa, steamed manty, hearty soups, and tea meant to be shared.

Rooted in Uyghur tradition

Recipes centered on noodles, lamb, vegetables, spice, and the pleasure of eating together.

Made for the neighborhood

A welcoming, family-run dining room just steps from the energy of Brighton Beach.

Kashkar Cafe cooks hand-pulling fresh lagman noodles
Made in our kitchen

The craft is part of the meal.

Noodles are stretched by hand. Dumplings are shaped one by one. Kebabs meet an open flame. The result is food with texture, warmth, and the unmistakable character of something made—not manufactured.

  • Hand-pulled lagman noodles
  • House-shaped manty and dumplings
  • Halal lamb, veal, beef, and chicken
  • Freshly baked samsa and naan
