Sahadi's at Industry City is such a fun place to walk into. I was there during a work retreat and people were constantly coming in and out, which gave the whole store this lively, welcoming vibe. I loved that they even have a bar inside. I couldn't drink since I was there for work, but it's such a cool touch and makes the space feel even more inviting. There are so many delicious things to look at. Spices, nuts, prepared foods, pastries, everything. The olives are honestly my favorite. They are so fresh and full of flavor that I had to stop myself from grabbing more. It's the kind of store where you want to explore every corner because something good is always waiting. The staff was friendly and patient even with the steady flow of people. It's just a warm, easy place to be in. If you're walking around Industry City, Sahadi's is definitely worth a stop. It feels like a little food adventure every time. read more

This neighborhood spot is amazing for spices/nuts/dips! I stopped by and ordered lunch in the back where there's a decent number of options to choose from! Honestly everything sounded delicious and this would be a really fun spot to load up your bag for a picnic in the park/on the promenade! read more

Great spot for Mediterranean groceries and speciality spices. They also have a section for prepared foods, breads, meat and cheese. Love wandering around this store and trying out new products and ingredients. Also huge shoutout to their olive bar - they have every olive and it's all reasonably priced! About $5 for a container of castelvetrano olives! read more

Sahadi's - Olive bar! - International Grocery Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This place is amazing. Not only the grocery, but the eatery as well. You can get traditional middle eastern food and goods. We come here about once a week. Their spice selection is amazing and so inexpensive. They also have nuts, nut butter that you can make yourself, coffee, cheese, small refrigerated section, oils and sauces, pasta, and much more. We like to stop by the deli section in the back to get wraps. They are made fresh and priced really well. Thank you for being an amazing grocer! Highly recommend. read more

I recently popped into Sahadi's looking for ingredients to make homemade Kunafa. I figured I'd find what I needed here, and I wasn't wrong! For a small space, Sahadi's really packs in a lot of variety. I found feta by the pound (how we used to buy it growing up), kataifi to make kunafa, many many types of labneh (my favorite). If you're looking for middle Eastern goods, I'd definitely start here. Anything you're missing could likely be found at Damascus down the block! read more

Absolutely love the food and groceries here. They curate the best from the Middle East and around the world!

Back for more. The spicy hummus continues to be my go-to item here, and I've added their homemade spicy pita chips and their zaatar lebany. read more

FOOD: Good selection SERVICE: All staff is friendly. Cashier definitely not friendly. Maybe just having a bad day or hates her job?! read more

Great selection of international foods and ingredients with a focus on middle eastern cuisine. This is the place to go for spices and seasonings, no matter what cuisine you're cooking. They also have a large selection of cheeses. And if you don't feel like cooking, they have many middle eastern dishes which you can take home or eat in their cafe area. read more

I have been buying Sahadi's nuts for well over a decade. Until the past year or so, I was always able to count on these being absolutely fresh. I recently placed my second order for cashews via Mercato delivery in 3 months and, for the second time, the cashews were completely stale/inedible. (And needless to say, they aren't cheap.) Something is up at the store, or at least with the merchandise they deliver via Mercato. This is incredibly depressing to write, but I'm buying my nuts elsewhere from here on out. read more

I've been going to Sahadi's since I was a small child. The prepared food is always excellent, the selection is incredible, and the prices are totally reasonable. I literally just went there today and picked up the necessities -- spicy mango, cheese, nuts, and of course a type of hummus and baba ghanouj. Delicious!!! read more

Great grocery store on Atlantic Ave! The selection was amazing and we saw some products we hadn't seen anywhere else.

I was excited to try their kofta kabob wrap. Unfortunately I was disappointed with what I got. Mainly salad with one small kofta kabob. It was very pricey for the wrap and didn't get much in it. The whole lunch cost me $17.00 with the drink and I was very disappointed. The meet was dry and no flavour. The cashier was not friendly and had an attitude. I do not recommend this place to my friends and family. I'm sorry Sahadi's!! The ambiance was good with all different types of food and it was very clean. read more

Sahadi's is a fabulous place with wonderful goods you can't get anywhere else. The staff is helpful and knowledgable. The cashier, though, who checked us out yesterday was intensely rude and unpleasant. They didn't speak at all and stood staring down like a hostile child while i packed up our purchases. They then noticed a small mess that had been on the paper bags where I packed our stuff (it was already there) and actively sneered and glared at us. This person should not have a job in customer service. I love Sahadi's but this person marred the experience, for no reason other than that they seem like an unhappy jerk. read more

I'm obsessed with Sahadi's in Brooklyn Heights on Atlantic Blvd and can't wait to visit my daughter again and buy more dried fruit and nuts here! They also have a take out section with grilled garlic shrimp, etc. my daughter loved their hummus and babaganoosh. They have other locations and definitely worth a visit to all!! read more

Excellent middle eastern grocery. I came in looking for Turkish delights. They had a fair variety of boxed options; however, upon inspection of their dessert counter, I was able to find a house made option. It was outstanding! I had a piece of pistachio baklava too, but the delight was the clear winner. During my meandering, I noticed nice selections of spices, dried fruits & treats, tinned seafood, and coffee beans. read more

Classic spot for great high quality food and groceries. Their hummus in the best in the area and super reasonably priced. Nice nut and fruit section and great olives! Their premade dishes are just as amazing as the hummus. It can get quite busy during rush hour times and around holidays. Highly recommend! read more

My family has been coming here to shop for the very best, in my particular case, since 1956, but I know they were here years before I ever shopped here with mom as a child. For me this is my baseline for all foods Middle Eastern, perhaps that's why I tend to be a bit harsh with similar here in S.D. The standards here in S.D. for Italian and Middle Eastern are certainly lower here than there, unfortunately. For Pizza, Alfredos, Brona Pizza and Long Island Mike. For Lebanese, Alladin, and/or Ali Baba. Period. read more

Weirdly enough, I discovered Sahadi's because they have what seems to be the biggest selection of Guittard baking chips in the city (that are normally priced, too). Obviously when I saw that they were known for their hummus I had to get in on the action. I tried the spicy hummus and baba ganoush. I wasn't particularly amazed by the spicy hummus but the baba ganoush was super good. They also have a big selection of house made food like spanakopita, chicken pies, and harissa salmon. I tried the beef kibbeh which was great, although for what is essentially an oversized meatball, it is kind of pricey at $5. read more

This place started it all - my family has been coming here for generations and they are one of the OG importers of Syrian, Lebanese and middle eastern food for NYC. We stopped by to browse the wares and grab a few items to go. The food held up from a nostalgia point of view but if you are looking for gourmet middle eastern in Brooklyn I'd head to an actual restaurant. If you are looking for a hard to find ingredient for your next dish, it's pretty likely they have it! read more

Please do not sell bourekas that are not fresh. They should be warm and tasty. Don't give me leftovers from previous days. It's simply disgusting. It takes me almost an hour to get to your store, so it's not fair. right? I have known the store for years and in the last year something has changed for the worse. It seems as if your employees are not satisfied or happy, the atmosphere is not good, the products are not fresh (even the pita bread I bought was not good compared to what it was) read more

They've rearranged the inside a little. It works. There's the same general layout, with a sitting area for coffee. Many other items than just the ME foods. I found my Devonshire clotted cream here. If you've never had, try it on toast/scones/muffins with or without jam. They have jars and jars of nuts and sweets. If you're looking for barberry (very healthy) to put in plov or pilaf, it's cheaper and better here than Netcost. There is a wealth of spices, pastas/grains, cheeses, deli items, frozens, juices, a bit of fruit. The draw for me always is Joray fruit rolls. You can order online, too, they have an online store. read more

I remember Sahadi's as a child. My father was Harry Abbot (Abdy) and my family lived at 170 Clinton Street. I am now 73 years old. Back then I was maybe 9 or 10 years old. I remember the olive barrels and the spices and the cheeses. I am sure your parents and grandparents will remember my father and mother from 170 Clinton Street I have never forgotten my time there with my dad and I am happy to say that Sahadi's is and always will be the best. Look at the photo below. Congratulations and best wishes on a great job well done. read more

What's with the cashier - Mexican? Middle Eastern? not sure - she had this bored attitude like I was bothering her just checking out - I was a cashier at Pathmark years ago and we always said hello - counted the change back and said thank you - not a great end to a good store! Really bothered me!!!!!! read more

I love, love Sahadi., I have been shopping here for years , Their food is delicious especially the Hummus which they make fresh. They also have a large selection of imported foods . A large selection of nuts, candy, spices , cheeses and coffees among other things. read more

How has it been twelve years since I first reviewed my favorite specialty market in all of NYC? Spoiler alert: it's just as amazing as it was when I first reviewed it. The hummus. Oh, the hummus. Best I've ever had, especially the spicy red pepper variety. Rich, creamy, full of tahini and just the right amount of garlic and lemon juice. The reasonable price is much appreciated, too. The kalamata olive bread. I grabbed the very last one made for the day, you betcha I did. Hummus and olive bread for dinner? Oh yes, I did. When you walk in, there's the area where you can buy nuts, seeds, sweets and other goodies. Take a number and hold your breath. The staff themselves are speedy and kind. It's the other customers that will try your patience (can I just get a little bit of these? Oh, can you just give me another half scoop more?) Don't worry, it'll be your turn soon and you can get the best tasting salted homestyle squash seeds here. I wrapped up my order with a large container of Lebanese Za'atar and made my way past the delicousness in the freezer aisle (they have vegan ice cream!) and the halvah (incredible as you'd imagine. Not sure which one these days is vegan, check for honey) to the nicest lady working one of the registers (I remember the days of yore when it was two people behind a counter! It's much more efficient nowadays). Sahadi, I'll love you forever. You might have everything my little heart could ever desire in this life. read more

*** JBF America's Classic (2017) *** #22 *** Sahadi's was different than any of the other 21 James Beard America's Classics that I've dined at because there is nowhere to sit and eat, so be prepared for that. This is a Mediterranean grocery store in Brooklyn with a stellar pre-made foods bar where you can grab salads, meats, hummus (the star attraction), and flatbreads. Greek Salad - a bit too many olives (which were way too salty) and a bit too much dressing for my liking. Just a personal preference on this one - it was still good, just not how I would prepare it. Hummus - we tried too types, the spicy and regular - and my expectations were high given all the rave reviews - and I have to say that it lived up to the hype. I've had a LOT of hummus in my life, and yes, this is perhaps the best ever. I think it's because it's so smooth and creamy. I liked trying the plain so that I could properly compare it to other hummus' that I've had, but I preferred the spicy one since I like a little bit of spice. Salmon Skewer - a bit pricey, but comes with a decent amount of salmon. Very good. Flatbreads - These were okay.. they looked a lot better than they actually were, but maybe that's because we had to trek across town with them since there was nowhere to sit and they were cold by the time we ate them. All in all I love how this is a neighborhood institution and the hummus IS to die for, even if not everything else we had was. read more

I can't believe it took the pandemic for me to finally step foot inside Sahadi's but I am so glad I did. This place is a gem of a store in Brooklyn. The best thing is there are so many items that you would not typically find in most grocery store chains such as egg roll wrappers to a unique selection of olives, nuts, and more. It should be no surprise that some items are higher-priced than elsewhere but that's to be expected. Happy this store is in my neighborhood so I can come back again. Woo!!! read more

Great place to get spices, nuts, various salads & spreads. A little pricey so I usually only get hard to find things here but one stop shopping is a real convenience. read more

I made a special trip to Brooklyn to visit Sahadi's after seeing it on a FT's list of "The 50 greatest food stores in the world." Even coming in with such high expectations, I was blown away by the authenticity of this place. It felt like such a gem in the area, carrying some of the highest quality cheeses, dried fruits, coffee beans amongst many other things. They have a fantastic spice collection, with spice blends freshly ground, at reasonable prices. In terms of fresh foods - I absolutely loved their pastries. They have an amazing collection of Syrian and Afghani breads and their spicy hummus is to die for. Their baklava is also delicious. I'm already so excited for my next trip. read more

This place is truly heaven sent. For some reason, it's really difficult to find international grocery stores that offer a large selection of middle eastern foods. I come here all the way from Bushwick just to buy labneh PLUS they carry Tim tams, which is just a special little bonus. Really high quality house made dips- their teramosalata and babaganoush always ends up in my basket. Really large spice selection as well, I always make sure to stock up on zatar and sumac when I come. Definitely a Brooklyn gem! read more

Great options for the creative chef! The people that work there were ALL friendly and helpful.

Great selection of grocery options. We bought some Lebanese olives and seasonings. Will be coming back

We come to Sahadi's once a week to refill on what have now become household staples: 1. Nuts (Cashews, Almonds, Macadamia, Walnuts) 2. Natural Mangoes 3. More Nuts (honey seed/nut bars) 4. Hummus 5. Lebneh 6. Babaganoush 7. Halva 8. Banana Chips 9. Crackers You will find all of these in our household at all times and they will always be from Sahadis because no other store around can even compare to the quality of the ingredients above. Its a neighborhood treasure and can become quite crowded after work or on weekends so we will usually visit on quieter Tuesday mornings to avoid crowds. We L O V E Sahadis. The End. read more

Sahadi's is the kind of store whereupon you'll walk out with more you intended to buy in the first place. It's an epicurean delight and has been a permanent fixture on Atlantic Avenue for years---in fact they've expanded several years ago with double the space of goodies and delights. Shame on me for not reviewing it a long time ago! I practically grew up shopping here. Situated on a strip that once housed a lot more Middle Eastern markets--- take note--- Sahadi's is not just a Middle Eastern specialty store (although you'll most likely want to buy some authentic treats here). Upon one of the entrances, the beloved olive and more bar (please take a number!), welcomes you. All kinds of delicious olives and other oil cured items. An assortment of candy and nuts are also sold by the pound in this same section. Think: chocolate covered fill in the blank, pistachio nuts (salted/unsalted), almonds, dates, dried mangos and more. As one navigates around the store, the back section contains cheese and crackers from all over the world. There is a wide variety to choose from. Need olive oil---check---if you experience trouble making a selection, it only means you're indecisive. There's a huge array of different types of olive oils from all over the world. Pasta? Check. Coffee station? Absolutely. You may grind your selection on site and there is also a barista available to serve chai latte, coffee, cappuccino and tea. Yet at another section, there's the amazing hummus, eggplant dip, savory pies (such as spinach and baked kibbah), falafel, all kinds of desserts such as baklava and so much more. I'm leaving a lot out, but I truly adore Sahadi's. If in the area, make it a point to drop in. You will be glad you did. read more

I've been coming to this family-owned business in the heart of Brooklyn since I was really little. For a long time it was the only place I knew that smelled and sounded like back home. They have so many modern spices and brands but also the very old school supplies to make traditional dishes just like the generations of my family always have. Love you guys. Stay strong! read more

Sahadi's has a fabulous assortment of dry goods, dips and sauces, cheeses, pastries, and freshly made meals (falafel, veggies, etc) in its deli section. I was surprised and so impressed by their cocoa halvah - it was so delicious that I only wish I had bought more. They have tons and tons of nuts, dried fruit, candies,spices, and snacks by the pound. It's fun to come here and browse even if you have nothing specific in mind - and you'll end up finding some unexpectedly tasty treat. read more

I have been coming here since the 1990s. It has grown since then. Recently I've been in downtown Brooklyn more. I came in and had requests from my friend for their dried fruit. She was very happy! I had a hankering for something sweet and thought, I should get some baklava at Sahadi's. It was a few minutes before closing. The prepared foods counter was almost clean. I initially settled for a prepackaged box of mixed mini baklavas. then i noticed there were still desserts on display. I asked if I could get some and the counter staff said yes. So yummy and fresh! Melts in your mouth goodness. read more

So disappointed in the quality of the seeds at both locations. My go to place pre-COVID for nuts, seeds, and dried fruits. Over the last 18 months my purchases have not been fresh. I made a batch of Granola which included walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds and sunflower seeds. The whole batch was ruined. The rancid taste permeated through the granola. 12 months later, I go the the other Brooklyn branch in Industry kitchen and again the seeds are rancid. I think it is the sunflower seeds. Buyers beware! read more
