Three days ago I placed a food order from this place where I have ordered many times before. As always, we chose the dishes we like. When I reached the payment step and entered my card information, I received an error message saying there was a problem and to try again later. So I selected the items again and completed the payment. Shortly after that, I received confirmation that the order was accepted and that it would be delivered. However, when the delivery driver arrived, he brought two identical orders. Luckily, we were able to share one of the orders with others, and overall we really like the way the food is prepared. It is always fresh, and we appreciate the work of everyone involved. Thank you for that. I only have one question. When someone noticed that there were two orders placed for the same day, the same time, and the same address, didn't it raise the question that it might have been a simple human mistake? Perhaps a quick phone call to confirm the order could have clarified the situation. This is not really about the $750 spent on the food. In my opinion, it is about kindness and the way customers are treated. I understand that nobody is free from mistakes and people have the right to make them. But perhaps in the future something like this could be avoided. Thank you. read more

Update made 04/19/2026 A true neighborhood gem! If you decide to dine in, the space is clean, welcoming, and the staff is genuinely warm and accommodating -- but the real star here is the food. This is authentic Turkish cuisine done right. We ordered right before closing, fully expecting a rushed experience -- and instead, I was pleasantly surprised. They included complimentary Turkish bread, and I honestly could not believe how fresh it tasted. Warm, soft, fragrant -- as if it had just come out of a real oven minutes earlier. Not your typical pita -- something much better. I'm not even a big bread person, but this was exceptional. Paired with the labneh (for those who don't know, it's a thick, creamy strained yogurt spread creamy, perfectly seasoned, with crushed walnuts, a hint of garlic, and just the right drizzle of oil) -- it was truly a match made in heaven. Rich, balanced, and incredibly satisfying. They also included complimentary sauces -- a fresh, yogurt-based one (similar to tzatziki) and a bold, spicy red sauce -- both delicious and clearly made with care. And of course, we had to order the calf liver -- one of our favorite Turkish dishes. It was outstanding: tender, flavorful, perfectly cooked, and beautifully seasoned. Easily a 10/10. Now, one IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THE MANAGEMENT -- and I'm saying this with full respect because your food absolutely deserves it: Please consider improving the takeout packaging. We ordered a bowl that included both hot and cold components -- all delicious individually -- but everything was placed together without separation. The cold shepherd salad (which was excellent and generously dressed), baba ganoush, feta, and avocado were placed directly on top of hot lamb gyro and fries. As a result, the fries lost their texture, and it made it difficult to properly enjoy or reheat the leftovers. With the quality of food you're serving, this is an easy fix that would elevate the entire experience. A simple solution would be either: - sectioned containers - or separating hot and cold items Everything else was truly excellent -- generous portions, authentic flavors, and clear attention to quality. Highly recommend‼ This place is doing a lot of things right read more

Wow - I give 5 stars. Hidden Gem Alert for sure. lol. This is my second time eating food from here. The first time I picked it up in person and it was so clean and nice inside. Items to try: The falafel is fresh and green inside soft and so nice. Definitely my favorite. The chicken Kebob sandwich is everything highly recommend. The Turkish bread is super fresh and soft. The hummus is perfection. The lamb kebob was also fire. Great quality meat. All the flavors are amazing and this place makes me love Turkish food even more than I already did if that was even possible. Thank you and please do not change 1 single thing. Will be back for sure! read more

Before you come here, consider the fact the salad comes very onion forward. I did not know this and paid the price, as the food later ran through me like the nearby F train passing over Neptune Avenue en route to Manhattan or Stillwell Ave. The Mixed Grill is truly what any person new to this restaurant should try when they come in. It is a great mix of a lot of meats they offer. The entree is $32 and comes with bread, rice, and a salad. All the meats taste fresh and delicious though some of the meat could use a little more time being cooked. I get it though. This is not meat you overcook. If you do, it will taste tough, rubbery, and dry. The service was friendly and the food does come out quick. I would just be mindful of what to get next time so to not have a repeat performance. read more

Their bread - which they bake inhouse is delicious and it's taste amazing with their humus and other salads. I think their chicken kabab is a bit on a dry side. People and atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming... read more

I went here again on August 4th. The food was once again overly salty. The sever was slow with the place being empty. My bill price was different from what the menu had showed. When I asked the server to adjust the bill to the price on the menu , He refused. I guess they charge what they want not what the menu shows. As far as ambiance it's a clean establishment. read more

Sahara Turkish Grill - They did not honor the price stated on the menu . The price was different on the bill then what the menu showed. - Turkish Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Pretty good neighborhood spot. Quality kitchen. I eat their mixed grill. Get everything on that except the patty. A little dry. Everything else is good on that. Wish they would use basmati rice is a gripe. Why not just serve that? It tastes better. Otherwise I would recommend. Try the lentil soup. Also, the wraps are good when you add fries.. read more

We stopped by to have lunch inside but they do not have a/c ( no a/c, when it's 80 degrees outside ...) so we've ordered take out. The food was good , big portions , meat was juicy, We only did not like Shepherd salad because it had mostly tomatoes that were chopped in big pieces, and a little amount of cucumbers The service was not Pleasant. Hey , we are paying for the food you are not giving this for free , talk nice to the customers . read more

Spectacular customer service, they took my order 8 minutes before closing, offered a free desert, and were so fast and extremely nice. Outstanding. Thank you read more

I'm not a fan of Turkish food but damn Sahara is good. Is this the same Sahara that used to be on Coney??? Because that was a spot too. I digress. Ordered takeout and the food was great. Shepherd salad was massive and fresh. Hummus was really good, as was the liver and kebabs. HUGE shout out to their bread. Bomb. read more

There is no difference in the amazingly delicious food served here since the move from Coney Island avenue. Had the best meal last night . A beautiful Bronzino dinner for my husband and the tenderest lady shish ka bob for myself. The service was top notch and so friendly. The former location was always a " Go to favorite " of my families and we are so happy Sahara reopened in this new location. Much smaller and not so fancy interior compared to the former , but still a gem in my book. read more

I believe this is the rebirth of Sahara of that used to be on Coney Island Avenue though I maybe mistaken. I had a lamb gyro sandwich. It was delicious! Very savory. We ordered a bunch of other items to share too including the mixed grill, fried liver cubes, fried calamari, and more. All the other dishes were very good to. We ordered takeout directly through the restaurant. The order was ready on time and packed nicely. read more

Sahara!! I remember going to the one on Coney Island avenue way back when, but this one is better than ever! The food is AMAZING! Will not disappoint! Fresh crisp veggies, perfect Turkish bread, and meats to make your mouth salivate! (Pause) I purchased the large lamb gyro platter, lamb shish kebab, Chicken Gyro and Chicken Shish kebab platters for myself and my family. The sauces were on point and the servings were perfect for our family of 6! We were greeted by a very courteous young lady who answered all our questions and made sure we always had what we needed. Also, The guys behind the grill are super efficient! The restaurant looks small from the street, however it was so cozy and accommodating for the six of us. (I would call ahead if you plan to go with more people so they can arrange to seat you all) Definitely recommend and hope they can keep up the great work! read more

They never listen to the orders of delivery you ask no onions they put extra and bread?? It's like 4 days old I had to repeat my self to the woman 3 times and still everything was wrong read more

This restuarant just opened up and the appetizers are really delicious, which included the Sheppard salad, Humous with Falafel balls and cheese sticks. For main course, we had the Chicken Shish, Kufta Kebab and the Bramzini fish and each dish was extremely well cooked as we requested and very delicious. And the staff was very courteous and nice, especially our waitress, Abeer, who went out of her way to ensure our satisfaction. Highly recommended read more

Sahara Turkish Grill - Rib Eye Steak - Turkish Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I ordered a lamb shawarma wrap to take out. The meat was succulent, lots of veggies and the wrap not your average doughy chewy bread. The sauces that came with it were a red sauce and white yoghurt mint sauce. Both excellent. I was hoping the red would be spicy but it wasn't. They make their own wraps and was outstanding. 4 stars because I asked for a diet peach Snapple and they gave me a regular so I had nothing to wash it down with because I'm diabetic. Lesson learned to check every thing before leaving. read more

I really recommend this place if you enjoy mediterranean very nice and fast service and great food. The place also looks very newly done and clean. read more

This was my go to place since they opened up, now that the turkish restaurant that was once in netcost now took over the space it is completely trash. The service is absolutely disgusting, the food isn't the same quality and the people who took over need a lesson in customer service. I suggest the turkish restaurant on Brighton 4th and avoid this place like the plague. read more

Sahara is back and just as good as I remember! Fantastic service and delicious food. The shepherd salad is also unmatched!

It's not as big as the original Sahara was but this little place could cook. Try their appetizers.

Food is pretty good but it takes way to long to pop in for lunch. Even for a Gyro pita, you can wait 15 minutes.

Ordered in and I was surprised how under seasoned all the food was. I have to mention the lentil soup was very strange-- super watery and no flavor. Cheese cigars were soggy. Shrimp kebabs were also terribly flavorless. I will not be ordering from here again. read more

it was me & my sister and mom first time and they have welcomed us with open arms guided us through the menu, the service was amazing they were very attentive and you can tell they care very much about their customers, i have no complaints they were so kind. the food was so amazing everything was so juicy & tasteful. i would definitely recommend to take a visit you definitely wont regret. read more

There wraps are the best of the best, they have tones of sweets, there BBQ and service was above and beyond.

This place is great. Not only is the food delicious and they're quick and convenient but the staff is friendly and very pleasant. Always with a smile and an offer of Tea. I've ordered from them a dozen times now and it's always great. Thank you for the genuine service, a much needed and appreciated addition to the neighborhood. A+ read more

Be very careful ordering online with this restaurant. They did not take any responsibility for the deceptive way they sell online. Portions are cut in half, and they overcharge you by a lot. And when confronted, blame anyone but their service and hang up the phone with out any remedy to the customer. Terrible, and the food isn't good at all read more

I am so happy that they are back in business. I generally stick to their chicken kabob with rice and salad and it was extremely spot on just like in the old days. Well worth the price! We'll be trying other things soon enough. read more

Bad food, bad service. Not worth your $$$. Nothing will be the same as their first location. I'm warning you, don't go. I would say 0/5 !!!
