David BlackmanFebruary 3, 2016You should buy all your spices, nuts, olives, cheeses and middle eastern specialties here. Pretty good fresh baked bread too. Closed Sundays.
Hands down the best Middle Eastern shop on Atlantic Ave. Really great for cheeses, olives and nuts. Make sure to check out the hot bar in back.
Bond StreetOctober 12, 2016"Being able to go to Sahadi's at 3PM to get my labne and in-house made za'atar pita chips provides a type of joy that reaffirms most of the decisions I've made about my career." - Mary HK Choi, author Read more- An NYC staple for goods from the areas surrounding the Mediterranean sea. Beautiful oils and spices. A large assortments of nuts, seeds, olives and cheeses. Take a trip there and be transported.
Maria MontesanoNovember 21, 2015I'm obsessed! Amazing authentic hummus, devine spanikopita and delicious handmade chocolates, all affordable too! They have a great selection of bulk items and hard to find spices. The best!!!- Fodor's TravelSeptember 9, 2015Bins and jars and barrels hold everything from nuts, dried fruit, olives, and pickled vegetables to cheeses, chocolate, candy, those intoxicating coffees, and all manner of spices.

Serious EatsAugust 10, 2013Destination Middle Eastern market for spices, olives, coffee, yogurt, cheese, prepared foods, and more. Be prepared to get lost in the aisles; bring a big shopping bag.
Spotted by Locals - city guides by localsOctober 1, 2013Best humus in NYC! Sahadis even have basic ingredients such as milk and bread too, but whatever you choose, be prepared to try something a bit different. Read more
Lonestar TacoFebruary 13, 2013Yea, I know it's 'middle eastern' but they have some of the best retail prices on spices, grains, nuts, etc. So, just go & those guys that work the main ingredient area, they are smarter than you.
JoJo DemirelSeptember 2, 2012bulk nuts, seeds, flours...the best selection of hard to find food items, too. grain free baking supplies: almond flour, flax meal, etc.
Kappie FarringtonJune 30, 2015Buy delicious Mediterranean food in bulk. Their prepared foods are also fantastic. I recommend the spanakopita and curried chick peas.
Jason CullerJanuary 23, 2013Smoked almonds. Hummus. All the olives your heart desires. Don't get pita here... Go a couple of doors down to Damascus (whose babaganoush is superior).
The Mediterranean import store everyone needs in their neighborhood, except this one is particularly good. Their hummus is probably the best thing to get here.
The best place to buy nuts, dried fruits, chocolate, spices and much more! Best hummus in NYC!
Come to buy in bulk. Get the medjool dates, dried mango, olives, and feta cheese. Homemade hummus is special too!!!
Daniel SalinasFebruary 28, 2015Come here to buy all of your spices! If you aren't buying spices at Sahadi's you are probably paying 10x more than you should and getting worse quality to boot.
Steve ColemanAugust 22, 2014Best damn Baba Ganoush I've ever had. Homemade and fresh. Don't leave without at least 1 container of it from the deli counter.- If you love cooking, you'll love Sahadis. It's the best food store in New York City!
VH1April 23, 2010Sahadi's is a family-run middle eastern emporium that sells everything the local shops also sell (cheese, nuts, dried fruit, fairtrade coffee) but for about half the price. - Elizabeth, TheFABlife.com
eric bornemannJuly 19, 2020The place to shop for all spices and interesting food in Brooklyn. A temple long may it last.
Stock up for dinner parties here. Delicious homemade hummus. Great selection of dried foods and fruits: nuts, yogurt pretzels, dried mango and pineapple!- Kelsey✨August 18, 2017Great middle eastern speciality shop. Bring home a slice of the vanilla halvah; it's heavenly 🤤
Get a week's worth of lunches from the prepared foods section in back. Just make sure to know what you want before getting in line -- the counter ladies are fast and will make quick work of you!- 陳雄暉 弟兄December 22, 2014A wide variety of dried goods, spices, and nuts to choose from, although the tougher choice is deciding whether this place is Mediterranean or Middle Eastern.
The best prices for things you genuinely won't find anywhere else and favorites you already love. Spinach pies mmm
Village VoiceAugust 13, 2010Try the Potato Flatbread-potatoes are pan-fried with thyme, cilantro, and onions that have a sweet, caramelized sheen, and the whole thing on flatbread is topped w/ a flurry of crunchy scallions
Luc DoanMay 11, 2016Awesome cheese selection with offerings comparable to whole foods but at a lower price
The Corcoran GroupApril 15, 2011You can find any spice here. Not to mention the best nuts, candy, coffee, chocolates, olives, etc. They close at 7pm and are not open on Sunday.
Rajini PriyaDecember 6, 2018Best middle Eastern store in the neighbourhood. Friendly staff. Great spanakopitas.
They have everything. Lots of different olives. Chocolate covered everything. Awesome snacks.- Get the spanakopita, hummus, fried cauliflower, lamb meatballs. smart locals shop here & Key & the farmer's market, not TJ's. Saturdays are not as bad as they once were & you're supporting a great guy
Rob MooneyJune 20, 2013Love this place - the hummus is amazing, and the array of olives, sweets, and breads is mind blowing!
Great Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and European imports for extremely cheap prices. An extensive selection of olives, grains, and cheeses. $3.50 for half of a cheese wheel that'd normally be $12-15!
Emily PAugust 24, 2010The best selection of Middle Eastern/Far East goods in Brooklyn.Love the Turkish apricots,fresh figs and dates,olives, and hummus! So much fun to wander around.
Sarah RosenzweigJune 23, 2013Bulk heaven! If you're kind to the sales people they'll give you samples until you pop!
- the hummus. THE HUMMUS! it's quite possibly the best in brooklyn. hands down.
Terea ShafferAugust 14, 2010Olives, olives, olives all day long and bread, hummus and tabouli made right on the premise. get there early on Saturday. After 10:00 am is madness!
CharlottesDecember 22, 2015I cannot think of a middle eastern ingredient I could ever want that is not here. Wonderful!
Jason NickelMay 18, 2013Grab a number. Right when you get in. Even if you don't think you'll use it.
Especially when the place is mobbed on Saturdays, it's a bit confusing -- take a number for olives, candy, coffee, feta OR get in line in back for deli goodies like baba ganoush or hummus.
