About Sahara Street Food

Sahara Street Food delivers generous Turkish feasting in The Ponds with sizzling charcoal shish, warm garlic pide, and fresh dips. Oven-baked flatbreads like thin, crunchy lahmacun emerge alongside platters of tender lamb and chicken skewers served over buttery pilav rice. Regulars crowd the dining room under the Taksim Square mural for shared banquets and quick daytime rolls, finishing sweet with crisp pistachio baklava and hot Turkish tea.

  • Oven-Baked Pides & Lahmacun: Stone ovens turn out hand-shaped spinach and feta pides and crisp, thin lahmacun flatbreads baked to order.
  • Sit-Down Dining Setting: A casual dining space complete with Mediterranean background tunes and a painted Taksim Square wall feature.
