a classic syrian/lebanese grocery that carries the best of the best, from nuts, to cheese and olives, and at a very fair price. enough said! read more

The best Middle Eastern Food Company & Importer in the City. Hands down It's not just a store. It's much more than that. Sahadi's, Titan, Patel Bros & Caluccio hold down certain specific niches large amounts of Rice, Spices & Cheese enter the country through NYC Warehouses. They then break this down & sell small-medium sized orders to retailers throughout the country. If you buy spices in the Indian aisle at any Wegmans throughout the Northest, they will have been imported through a Patel brothers Warehouse in Queens. Similarly, if you buy Middle Eastern Cheeses, Nuts, Beans, Olive Oils, ad infinum, odds are pretty good that they were either imported by or actually manufactured by Sahadi's FF. Yea, Sahadi's has their own line of stuff like Ful Mdemmas. It's the only one I'll actually buy. My family will regularly stock up on Syrian & String Cheese, Joray rolls, Bulgher Wheat, the noodles you use for Shami Rice, Ful, Tahini, Feta, Pistachios, several kinds of almonds, Zoe Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Spain (cheapest that you'll ever see it) and Bonne Maman here. But being a centralized, largely vertically integrated operation means that the price is low and the quality is high. In the last ten years they've emphasized the general Fine Foods side of their business, stocking everything from two dozen varieties of coffee to fine cheeses & truffle oils. I'm basically too embarrassed to show my face in here. My sister got me a stock job at 15 totally out of the blue when I didn't want or need one. Not to mention I was scrawny as hell, and the re-enforced iron cellar door fell on my foot when I was trying to close it. So I just tack everything on the clan list for when they make the hajj. It's a lovely system. I also use the Lebanese Olive Oil soap in the winter instead of moisturizer. It's amazing how getting back to basics really works so well... read more

Sahadi's isn't Zabars but its unique offerings make it a Brooklyn must have. I don't go to Sahardi's often. As I do a fair amount of baking during the holidays, this is one of the few places where I can get freshly ground spices, nuts, seeds and high quality dried and candied fruit. The ground nutmeg, for example, is miles above the bland options you get at your typical supermarket. There is also a large selection of coffee and olives, and middle-eastern ethnic products. The staff is usually helpful, friendly and organized. It's location, makes it easy to get to. read more

Its a cool place for food and treats.you can go there hungry one get coffee and baclava

If you've never been...go! Get the honey roasted peanut butter...and go ready to carry home a heavy bag. Great place...good stuff!

I love shopping here for my nuts, rice,olives and other speciality items. Everyone is very helpful and pleasant. What a great market. I always enjoy going there. read more

This is an affordable and awesome gourmet store. I was looking for a place to buy Bulgur wheat (available in 4 cuts), but instead also left with sheep's milk, harissa sauce, excellent hummus and dried fruits. The quality is good, as is the selection. Service is fine. It's got a nice, old school vibe to it. Reminds me of why I love living in New York! read more

4 Generations of our family shopping here ! Always a 5 star experience. Hard to find items and new findings make this an afternoon adventure read more

Sahadi's is one of my top fives. I was first introduced to this store as a kid and will continue to come here even though I have moved to New England. This place has everything for a baker's needs especially the chocolate disc, dried kiwi, and dried blueberries that I can't find anywhere else. Uhhhhh Can't wait to go back to Brooklyn during break.......... read more

Jonathan works at the coffee bar and has remembered after just one visit that I like my Americano a certain way; with just a bit of water and milk as creamer. I quickly became a repeat customer partly because of the food's superior quality, robust flavors and very reasonable Brooklyn pricing. The elaborate and varied selection in the store, especially the cheese bar, is deliciously overwhelming. Even so, it is the good vibes of Sahadi's employees that makes all the difference. read more

Fresh middle eastern food to go in the back, great hummus, fantastic bulk foods and dried goods. One of our favorites!

I have been going to the original Sahadi's for many years and still highly recommend it. This review is for the Industry City location only. I will NEVER go there again. To start, I don't care for the location being a long, windy walk from public trans, which is something they share with every other business in IC. It was cold the day I went too. But if I wanted Easter stuff, choose it myself and not rely on Mercato, that's where I had to go. Original store is closed to in-store shopping due to COVID-19. The IC store itself is airy and light and seems to have a lot more room than the original. The staff is nice and really wants to be helpful. They don't have everything the original does but they do have fresh fruit, veg and dairy. They didn't have cheese I usually get, not as many bulk items, only basmati rice (I wanted brown), no baking chocolate, no Easter stuff that I would not have to make myself, very little of the deli foods they are so well-known for. I did not see any Middle Eastern grocery items at all. A lot of things don't have prices marked on them. So you have to walk the entire store, to the checkout, to find out how much something is. Bulk nuts were OK. Bulk fruit was not OK. Instead of jars, what fruit and candy they do have are in OPEN bins, like you see gelato or candy in. So, just like those items, adjacent varieties make their way into the bin you want. I had to soak one fruit in water and re-dry it to get the "extra" flavors out. Why did I buy it to start with? It's all there was a day or so before the holiday. The other fiasco was 3lb of another dried fruit that I have to figure how to disinfect, since I found hair, definitely not mine, in it. This store has a long way to go to get as good as the one on Atlantic Ave (go there!). They could call this one Sahdi's 'cause it's missing some things. read more

Went in to buy cheese and saw they also now sell Hudson Valley Fresh milk - the first time these guys have had fresh milk I think. And it's really good. Goes well with their halvah! Thanks Sahadis! read more

Love, love, love this place. They have every spice imaginable & their prices are right. It can get a bit busy & packed in there, but totally worth it. I highly suggest their hummus. It's some of the best I've ever had. They also have fantastic spinach pies. read more

There is a line for a reason. Lots of good snacks for not so much coin. I've only been in the neighborhood for a year, but we come here to pick up everything from yogurt covered pretzels, to house almonds, random blocks of cheese, dried fruit, and hummus. It's on the cheap side and the selection is amazing. I prefer it to Trader Joes for the selection, quality, and price. read more

My favorite deli, and I use the term very loosely because this place is so much more. Great middle eastern food, good service, and Charlie the owner is a sweetheart. Plus great prices. read more

Thank goodness for Sahadi's. It's always a visual vacation to come into this special world. From nuts to cheeses to olives to dried fruit to daily deli items, this store is a ridiculous bounty of delicacies. Their prices are very fair and their staff is lovely and kind. I am so grateful they are still around in this always-changing neighborhood. Hopefully they'll be here for decades to come. read more

this is a great place. good smells and lots to choose from. NYC dwellers are lucky.

I challenge you to find a better speciality shop. Outstanding service, and outstanding selection. The owner truly cares, and his business shows. Outstanding selection of nuts and olives. The prepared foods are outstanding. The two varieties of hummus are easily, and I mean EASILY, the best I've had in the city. Fairly priced. Other than everyone else knowing how great this place is (thus massive traffic in the store), there's nothing to not like. Get here yesterday. read more

Wasn't really that impressed. No basmati rice or dried yellow lentils in stock? So what good are you?

A hidden treasure!!!! I absolutely love this place! They have the biggest and best assortment of nuts, grains, olives and dried fruits anywhere in Brooklyn. In Sept/Oct, you can get fresh dates. This is definitely the place to go for basmati, jasmine and brown rice as well as coffee and spices from all over the world. Towards the back of the store, there is a wide variety of prepared foods. Try the hummus, you'll love it!!!, and don't leave without picking up some freshly baked bread. What more can I say, this place rocks!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Great shopping, always bargains, good conversation, attentive service and friendly atmosphere. Been shopping there for many years. If you don't see what you are looking for, ask, they have it! Better than Trader-Joe's and Whole Foods (no false advertising or promises of MGO free. read more

Some of my favorite memories as a kid were coming here to Atlantic Ave with my mother to get coffee, nuts and other assorted goodies. Get a number and wait in line and be amazed. Also, the only place in the neighborhood where I have found chickpea flour. read more

Love it love it love it! Believe it or not, I don't love their hummus...it's OK but not my favorite...but everything else is great and selection can't be beat (and the prices are reasonable). read more

God, if this place ever closes it will be a tragedy. Amazing hummus, baba ghanoush, etc. A terrific bulk food section. Great misc. cooking ingredients that are hard to find elsewhere. Olive bar, cheeses, flatbreads, and on and on. Everything here is high quality and the prices are phenomenal. And lovely character. Everyone should shop here. read more

Today I had my first experience with Sahadi. It's a bit tight. Very cozy. Best experience was in the cheese department. Man this guy was a cheese encyclopedia. Recommended some of the best cheese I've had so far. The Greek fetta was different but still very fresh and delicious. So Eric if you're reading this thanks man. My wife & I loved it. read more

Sahadi's is so kickin' 'til I come from DC w/my cooler for my monthly fix. Nummnumm, yo!

The four stars are for the deli section. Great selection of good noshes from fresh made falafels to all the other standards + more! Not a great variety of meats I'm afraid. Was hoping to find some kick ass merguez, but sadly, the one choice in the frozen section is kinda lame. I'd also like to see a smaller packet of zaatar - the one GIANT bag will take me years to get through! read more

I was appalled at the actions taken by what I am assuming is a supervisor at Sahadi's. I overheard and saw a petite woman scolding an employee and even suggesting he "find another job if she had to continue micromanaging". Disreputable if you ask me. This is clearly not an appropriate conversation to have while customers are around. I love shopping local & shopping at small businesses, but I can't support ANY business that feels it is okay to berate staff in front of customers. It puts us in an awkward situation and takes away from the shopping experience...Unfortunately this is my last time shopping at Sahadi's. read more

Well organized and well stocked, this place has everything in middle eastern grocery you can think of. Variety galore. And good people. Love going here but the wallet hurts as I always get tempted to buy more than I need. But that's what fun living is. read more

I cannot believe I didn't review this gem sooner! Sahadi's is the best of old -world charm and new world delicacies. I so appreciate how incredibly fresh all of the dried fruits and nuts are, as well as the bazaar-like atmosphere. Yes, it gets crowded; but this is NYC; we wait in line for everything. Most of the time the staff is warm and friendly. Always they are knowledgeable and efficient. I find the owner very pleasant and appropriately involved. Sahadi's has been here through many neighborhood ups and downs. It just keeps getting better. read more

Would you like to travel to another country without having to spend much time or money or make arrangements then Sahidis is for you. Located on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn(did you think only Manhattan has neat restaurants & grocers?)which was the hub for Syrian retailers about 50 years ago; but now Sahidis is the only reminder of a time when New York city was just beginning to be introduced to the wonders of Middle Eastern cuisine. Sahidis used to own one store but now its expanded to two and rightfully so. It is covered wall to wall with different types of olive oil, cheese, cured meats, dried goods, olives, bread, candy and so much more. So take a visit and get ready to spend some time enjoying the wonders that is Sahidis. And tell everyone you know about it! read more

I have been shopping at Sahadis since 1980. Their selection, quality and prices cannot be beat. Since moving Upstate over 5 years ago, we make sure to stop in whenever we visit friends in Brooklyn to pick up something special that we cannot find anywhere else. Even better, they ship all over the US. We've been ordering their excellent coffee for years; even with the cost of shipping, Sahadis beats the local coffee shops hands down in terms of price, as well as taste. I wish they would open an outlet in Saugerties, Woodstock or Rhinebeck! read more

Just outstanding. Even if you don't live nearby, this is the place to stock up on excellent-value bulk ingredients and, especially, the place to build your spice rack. (I've seen spices costing ten times as much by weight, or more, in other stores.) Also, Sahadi's is in a great location if you want to explore more middle eastern foods, music, clothing and household goods. Atlantic Ave is Brooklyn's so-called Arab Row, and if you just walk east on Atlantic you'll find all kinds of fascinating stores. read more

this store is too over rated, I hate the way he treat the workers. He treat them like slaves. I think people should get a chance to really look into the store, why is everyone afraid of this man he is a womanizer. Even the manager that guy that play favorites. read more

there aren't enough words in the english language to express how i feel about this place. everytime i go i fall more and more in love with sahadis! last week i discovered their spice section. good god what have i been thinking paying insane prices at the grocery store when i could go here and get spices for life for around$2-$3 each. i'm in love with the hummus and pita ($.80 each!)...the prepared foods are so good and so cheap--the mushroom and leek phyllo is heaven wrapped up in a little bun! two words--ROASTED ARTICHOKES!!! hold s*&t...amazing! expensive, yes, but totalllllllllllly worth it! the dried fruits and nuts are perfect to stock up on for snack time and the cheese and grocery section is spot on...i got large san marzano tomatoes for $2.50 each!!! sounds lame, i know...but next time you're at the store, check out the price of canned tomatoes!!! i have decided friday is sahadi's day for lunch...partly because i want to reserve my dignity by not going in everyday and partly because i have no business eating hummus by the gallon! read more

Wish there was one of these on the West Coast! Great selection of bulk items and snack foods. Olive bar. Good coffee in bulk. I hear the hummus is amazing. Don't forget to grab a number if you want anything in bulk- the workers grab everything. read more

I have lived in Brooklyn Heights for 47 years and have never been disappointed with anything I purchased from Sahadi. Everything is always freshly made and delicious. The variety is fabulous. read more

This place is great - spices, coffee, imported cheese, beans, nuts, pasta, crackers, preserves, bread... They have it all and at great prices. The staff are helpful (especially one guy who is probably the owner). They're only open until 7pm weekdays and closed Sundays, but heck you can't have everything. read more

The hummus is AMAZING, much tastier and less expensive than anything you could buy at a regular store. I am completely addicted to it. I haven't bought much else here, but the cheese prices are excellent and I once got a pack of pitas for SIXTY CENTS!!! read more
