About YAKAR Kosher Steakhouse

Yakar Steakhouse delivers a steakhouse experience that feels deliberately planned. Located on Coney Island Avenue, the restaurant has earned its reputation for treating kosher meat with a level of attention typically reserved for higher-end city dining. It’s not flashy—it’s simply focused on doing things right.

The menu centers around Prime beef, dry-aged in-house in a custom aging room visible from the dining area. Cuts like the Cowboy Ribeye, Delmonico, and skirt steak are finished with precision and arrive rested and sliced. It’s not just about size or sear; the kitchen pays close attention to the texture, seasoning, and presentation. These are steaks designed to be savored.

The kitchen doesn’t stop at steaks. Braised brisket risotto, beef tongue, and crispy sweetbreads round out a set of composed plates. Even appetizers like the house-made charcuterie board, served with bresaola, salami, crostini, and mustard seeds are balanced and thoughtfully arranged. It’s the kind of spread that doesn’t just fill a table, it sets a tone.

The space strikes the right mood for what’s served. Exposed brick, clean lines, warm wood, and white tablecloths keep it upscale. Lighting is low enough for a date night, but service is sharp enough for a business dinner. A private room tucked away from the main floor is available for small events, and is often used for celebrations or family gatherings.

Drinks are a quiet strength here. The cocktail list shows an attention to detail that matches all areas of service. Drinks like the Vico Rico or Raging Bull offer good balance, and the wine list includes both easy-drinking bottles and more structured picks for pairing with heavier mains.

Portions are as precise as they come. Desserts like the molten chocolate soufflé with house-made ice cream offer a clean and light finish without pulling focus from the meal. It’s the kind of place where you don’t feel the need to rush or overorder.

Yakar doesn’t rely on novelty or theatrics. It doesn’t need to. What it offers instead is clear: aged beef, well-executed dishes, and a dining room that respects the food being served. For kosher diners looking for a polished steakhouse experience that respects both technique and tradition, Yakar sets a steady standard.
