Sahadi's

"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

"“121 year old, 3rd generation family owned Middle Eastern grocery. Recently opened a 2nd location with a sit down restaurant. The OG store has more than 200 bins of ancient grains, spices, roasted nuts, dried fruits, the most incredible olives, rare cheese, hummus and kibbeh. Coming soon: cocktail program with spices from Lebanon!” - @elanazajdman" - PRINT_COLLECTIVE

"Since it was late and I was a little hungry, it’s another sourdough pancake. This time with some homemade beet-and-cabbage sauerkraut, dipped in this hot German mustard from a tube that I recently found at Sahadi’s and have been squeezing on stuff with abandon. I love sauerkraut and make giant jars of it so there’s always some on hand. I’ve always adored spicy mustard, too."

"A stroll through this Middle Eastern grocery store (there’s the Brooklyn Heights location and a newer outpost in Industry City), which has been family-owned since 1948, could easily result in a bigger bill than expected. There’s the hummus and baba ghanoush that regularly fly off the shelves, but the aisles are also filled with imported goods — from excellent olive oil to rare teas — that make for great pantry staples. The store recently debuted a cookbook, as well, a good source for recipes like red lentil soup and za’atar bread." - Emma Orlow

"Sahadi’s, located on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, is known for its Middle Eastern cuisine and ingredients like savory sumac and creamy labneh. The store has been an institution since 1948 and recently released a cookbook, Flavors of the Sun, featuring its signature ingredients." - Erika Adams
