Dairy, cholov yisroel, and what to look for
A kosher dairy restaurant serves no meat, so meat and milk are never combined. The main question for many diners is the standard of the milk itself. Cholov yisroel means the milk was supervised from the moment of milking, while cholov stam relies on a well-known ruling that permits government-regulated dairy.
Every dairy listing marks whether it is cholov yisroel, and where the baked goods are pas yisroel, so you can hold to your standard. Remember that after a meat meal you generally wait before eating dairy, so a dairy restaurant is best at the start of the day or as a meal on its own.
