saharanyc

Sahara's Turkish Cuisine was founded in 2002 as a family business and is still being run as one after almost two decades. It has consistently been a reliable spot for the neighborhood and the people who pass through this corner of New York City. We have developed our menu over time to include a diverse mix of Turkish specialties. We are proud of the quality of our food. Our restaurant has a relaxing, cozy atmosphere. In addition to regular dining and delivery services, we are among the top catering restaurants in the city.

We learned the restaurant business from scratch. We are four siblings who traveled to this great city all the way from a small mountain village in Dersim, Turkey. On our journey here, we spent many years in Istanbul and other urban centers of Turkey, studying and working in the food and service industries. After graduating with university degrees, we came to New York to further pursue our dreams. Following several years managing our first restaurant, Limon, we took over Sahara's management in 2012. Since then, we have been enjoying a diverse community in this great city.
