//The line

The Infatuation reports a distinct annual line 'outside Kashkar Cafe' every New Year's Day, formed by New Yorkers who cap their Coney Island polar plunge with a bowl of lamb-laden soup at the country's first Uyghur restaurant.

Outside that one-day surge, The Infatuation notes the restaurant 'stays pretty quiet,' with everything made to order so diners should expect kitchen-driven waits for food rather than a door line on typical days.
