damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at Kashkar Cafe yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
The Infatuation reports that on New Year's Day, 'you'll find a line outside Kashkar Cafe of New Yorkers from across town' who come to cap off their Coney Island polar plunge with a warming Uyghur meal (The Infatuation).
Outside that single annual surge, the same review notes the restaurant 'stays pretty quiet' on the other 364 days of the year, making the line a distinctly seasonal, one-day phenomenon rather than a regular occurrence (The Infatuation).

Walk-ins: Standard walk-in except New Year's Day
The Infatuation reports a line forms outside only on New Year's Day, when polar plunge participants come to warm up with a meal; the other 364 days a year, the restaurant stays pretty quiet with no reported wait.
Reservation policy was not established in the source reviewed.
Yes, walk-ins appear standard given the restaurant's quiet day-to-day traffic per The Infatuation, aside from the New Year's Day rush.
