Middle Eastern grocery with bulk foods, prepared foods, cheeses, coffee, olives
"A fixture of Atlantic Ave since 1948, the three-generation strong Sahadis Grocery is a Brooklyn tradition. It truly has a bit of everything. Also candy. So much candy. With an old world feel and excellent service, Sahadis is a wholesaler and a distributor as well as a retailer. This means that the store can sell bulk and exotic items at prices far more moderate than most. Which makes it a pretty popular location no matter what burrough you’re hailing from. And people come from all over. Good thing there’s an old fashioned ticket machine and the owner, Charlie Sahadis, walking around to chat with you to pass the time in no time." - This Also
"Industry City is lucky to have Sahadi’s. In fact, we’re all lucky to have Sahadi’s. So go ahead and find the nearest CVS, buy a few nice cards, and send them to Sahadi’s. Once you’re done, stop by this Middle Eastern grocery store for some fresh hummus, a few slices of halvah, or a wrap filled with grilled halloumi. This place makes most grocery stores look lazy, and it even has a small wine bar where you can take a break if you get tired shopping." - bryan kim
"The original Sahadi’s location on Atlantic Avenue has been a long-standing Brooklyn institution for decades. In 2019, the team opened a second spot at Industry City which made us instantly jealous of everyone we know who lives in Sunset Park. But the truth is, no matter where you live, we’re all lucky to have Sahadi’s. So go ahead and find the nearest CVS, buy a few nice cards, and send them to Sahadi’s. Once you’re done, stop by this Middle Eastern grocery store for some fresh hummus, a few slices of halvah, or a wrap filled with grilled halloumi. The newer location is about the size of a discount warehouse upstate, and it even has a small wine bar where you can take a break if you get tired shopping." - hannah albertine, nikko duren
"As a 128-year-old institution in Brooklyn Heights, Sahadi’s has been providing Middle Eastern pantry staples since 1895 and moved to its current location in 1948. I was alarmed to learn scammers were pretending to be the shop—using an eerily similar name, phony tax IDs, and fake bank accounts—to divert about $100,000 from Sahadi’s clients, though Pat Whelan said they’ve been able to recover most of the money. The state also named Sahadi’s a historic site earlier this year, underscoring its long-standing role in the community." - Emma Orlow
"Added to the state’s Historic Business Preservation Registry after 74 years in Brooklyn Heights, Sahadi’s is a Middle Eastern grocer that first opened in Manhattan’s Little Syria in 1895 and relocated to Brooklyn Heights in 1948; the nomination for the registry was sponsored by state assembly member Jo Anne Simon." - Luke Fortney
