For a true taste of traditional Turkish cuisine, Sahara is a New York favorite. It serves the finest quality ingredients with an excellent blend of Mediterranean flavors, offering spice and excitement to each and every meal. Guests of Sahara have enjoyed classic items such as lentil soup and chicken kebabs, while indulging in rarer items including calf’s liver and nut roll pastries.
A rich and hearty Mediterranean fare is what makes Sahara unique, and that is accented by the outside patio seating offered nowhere else in Brooklyn. Guests can enjoy sitting in a wonderful garden while enjoying the fresh and revitalizing flavors of feta salad or sliced beef.
