Our History
Our Corporation, R.Gross Dairy Kosher, has been operating since 1922. In the late ‘60s R. Gross, named after its founder, was a thriving dairy restaurant and bakery occupying over half a block at 1372 Broadway. It was a landmark which many of our customers remember visiting with their fathers and grandfathers.
In 1985 the concept was changed from a kosher dairy establishment to a full Mediterranean Glatt Kosher restaurant under the name of Chez Lanu, Mr. Broadway. A delicatessen section was added along with a Chinese line and in 2000 we were the first to offer full Sushi menu at a midtown kosher establishment.
In 2011 we underwent our most significant transformation and reestablished ourselves as a staple in the NYC Kosher dinning community. While other kosher restaurants around us have either closed down or relocated, we rebuilt our entire dining room from the grounds up, adding an 18 seat full beer and wine bar and brining it in line with a modern NYC eatery establishments.
Throughout the years, we have always believed in using the freshest ingredients and relying on home made cooking. In our 5000 sq foot, split level kitchen, our people are working from the very early hours of the morning preparing everything from scratch – from our famous Shawarma, to the daily variety of soups, fresh ground in house beef burgers and much more.
As we enter our next phase in our evolution, we strive to build upon our diverse history and continue to modernize our menu to bring you new and exciting twists on traditional Jewish Mediterranean dishes.
For over 50 years in business, we wish you all the best and consider it a ‘Mitzva’ to serve you and your family.
Thank you,
The Owners
