Gōsht

Gōsht is a modern halal steakhouse on Coney Island Avenue in the heart of Brighton Beach, and its name, the word for meat in several Central and South Asian languages, tells you exactly where its priorities lie. The kitchen grills its steaks and burgers over Josper charcoal ovens, the enclosed Spanish grills prized in serious restaurant kitchens, and pairs them with shakes from its baristas and desserts from its own bakers. Diners describe the room as warm, stylish and cozy, with a meat-forward steakhouse feel. The group behind it dates to 2017, and its Brooklyn branch is also set up for banquets and families with children, which makes it a natural fit for a neighborhood with a large Central Asian community.

Featured by the YouTuber New York Turk in 2025, Gōsht is a place to lean into the grill. Burgers are a highlight for many diners, and the steaks come straight off the charcoal. Reviewers have recommended the bone marrow as a starter, and the restaurant has hosted Friday-night brisket tastings, so ask whether anything special is on when you book. Finish with a shake or one of the house desserts. Reservations are available through OpenTable, which makes it an easy choice for a family celebration or a group dinner. Because everything is halal, it is a natural pick for anyone looking for a full steakhouse experience, and the boardwalk is only a short stroll away for a walk afterward.
