What makes a meat restaurant kosher
A kosher meat restaurant serves only meat from kosher species that was slaughtered by shechita and then soaked and salted to remove the blood. No dairy is served or cooked on the premises, and the kitchen keeps meat utensils, ovens, and dishes entirely separate.
Many meat restaurants go a step further and serve only glatt meat, which comes from animals whose lungs were found smooth and free of adhesions. Sephardi diners often look for halak Beit Yosef, a parallel and stricter standard. Where a listing is glatt or halak, we mark it, so you can match a restaurant to your own standard rather than guessing.
