The eight injured were rushed to nearby hospitals, though officials did not provide details about their conditions.
Police said no arrests have been made so far, and the shooters remain unidentified. Investigators recovered at least 36 shell casings from the scene.
Footage shared on social media showed officers combing the restaurant, with broken glass and pools of blood visible as the investigation got underway.
The NYPD confirmed that the probe remains ongoing.
