Sahadi's Is NYC's Favorite Middle Eastern Market | Legendary Eats

Sahadi’s, a 122-year-old market, serves fresh Middle Eastern cuisine and other specialties in Brooklyn. People seek it out for hummus, dried fruit, and freshly roasted nuts. The Sahadis rely on family living in the Middle East to source many of the local Syrian products that are shipped by boat and sold in the store today. They work to source these ingredients despite political turmoil in the region. Insider’s Taryn Varricchio visited Sahadi’s to see what makes this market a New Yorker’s choice for the best Middle Eastern products in the city.

"Theres a Trader Joes across the street, so why is everyone coming to Sahadis?"

Thats like asking why people would rather go to a great local coffee shop than the Starbucks right next door. The product is better and its good to support local businesses, like I like to do 😀

The last time I was there I bought a 4oz container of their hummus

It still haunts me to this day that I didn't opt for the 16

I love markets like this. They tend to sell higher-quality food.

I lived in Brooklyn for years and Sahadi’s was my go to grocery store. For pita, I still went down the street to Damascus bakery. But, Sahadi’s has so much amazing foods. The feta cheese! Greek, Turkish, Lebanese, French, ...and a few others. The pickles and olives!

Market shopping is always fun! It seems to be a pleasure to buy new food! 😍

This is one of my favorite places to shop! My Mom has been taking me there to get Cashews and peanuts since I was a kid. The Bulk Section will leave you broke.

Chic peas is super food, try including that to your diet and see the difference with added sesame!

I love pistachios! Especially the cream pistachios 😍😋. Have you ever tried it?

Middle east is the core of civilisation, not like they say in the news. They only steal our oil and send us to Europe after they stole everything and destroy everything. And then say go back to your country after destroying and robbing everything. Vicious fourth tongue white man..

Who like village life and street food
❤ Grandma's Village ❤

I love when cultures share food together. I'm Dominican and kebbah and other dishes were brought to the Dominican Republic in the late 19th century by middle eastern immigrants. We pronounce it key-peh and spell it quipe or kipe. Its one of my favorite fried food!

What a great story and what a fabulous looking place!

[downeastboy]

I used to go there almost every weekend when I was a little kid as I can I will go there again

[CookwithSha]
