Kashkar Cafe

A cute, homey family restaurant specializing in homemade Uyghur food. The Lamb Ribs Kebab was the standout—it was tender, juicy, and meaty. We found the fried noodles to be slightly too salty and oily, but the overall experience was welcoming.

First time trying Uyghur food and it was amazing. It had the taste of other central asian cuisines, with its unique ideas, like pepper and pak choi in soup. The kebab was insanely good and juicy. Also the tea was poured into bowls, which felt nostalgic. The atmosphere was lovely with traditional music and decorations.

Guys, If you are looking for really special delicious food made with love, come to this place. Small but unique place to taste special food from midle Asia. Very nice and polite service. From the first moment you feel like the special guest. That's all. Any additional words are unnecessary...

This place is SO good!!! My friends and I wanted to try Uyghur cuisine during a trip to Brighton Beach, and Kashkar did not disappoint. The restaurant is peaceful and charming, and our server was welcoming and delightful. There is a lot of choices on the menu, and all our dishes were delicious. Our favorites were the jujava dumplings, bosu laghman, and polo.

Had their classic Laghman with broth and Shashlik. Laghman was pretty good. Noodles it could be better. But overall still good. Shashlik meat was unusually soft. I guess they smash it before cooking. Tasted pretty nice. Serving Lady was was pretty kind but can be more attentive to tables.

The lamb kebab was notably juicy and flavorful. The bosu lagman was good too, as I was would expect from a standard fried noodle dish. Funny enough, my favorite discovery was trying the Natakhtari pear carbonated soft drink.

We visited on a Friday evening and the place was packed by the time we left. We enjoyed the egg plant salad, the fried hand pulled noodles, and the kebab trio. A cozy spot when you’re in the mood for Xinjiang cuisine. The music playing was unique but went well with the flavors of the food.
