Fresh Bread
Brick-oven Turkish bread baked daily on the premises.
From Turkey, through Brooklyn, to Staten Island
A family journey, shared one kebab at a time.
The address changed. The welcome never did.
Brooklyn beginnings
It started in 1986.
Grand Sahara first opened on Coney Island Avenue, bringing the tastes its family knew from Turkey to a neighborhood table in Brooklyn. Friends and families came for warm bread, sizzling kebabs and the feeling of being welcomed in.
In 2019, that tradition crossed the Verrazzano and found a new home in Staten Island. Today, Grand Sahara serves Dongan Hills with Turkish dine-in, food to go, island-wide delivery, catering and private celebrations.
What hasn't changed
Cook with care. Serve with warmth.
The food remains grounded in the rituals that make a Turkish table feel generous: warm bread, shared appetizers, charcoal smoke and one more plate than anyone expected.
Open-Flame Flavor
Kebabs, chops and grilled favorites prepared over charcoal.
A Shared Table
Meze, entrées and desserts made for passing, tasting and lingering.
