The Good Stuff
Affordable vegetables
Vegetables are repeatedly described as affordable, with one review specifically praising the tomatoes for value.
Weekly offers
Weekly promotions and weekend offers are a recurring reason reviewers shop here, especially from Wednesday to Saturday.
Sri Lankan food
The store stocks Sri Lankan food, and one reviewer says fresh vegetables from Sri Lanka arrive once or twice a week.
Helpful staff
Several reviews mention friendly or courteous employees, including helpful assistance during the night shift.
Meat counter
A customer who regularly buys meat described it as exceptionally clean.
Late opening
One review says the supermarket is open 24 hours, which can help with late-night grocery runs.
Tips for a Better Visit
Shop offers. Plan a larger shop around the weekly promotions or weekends; reviewers say the offers can be especially good then.
Shop in person. For time-sensitive groceries, visiting in person may be safer than ordering: several customers reported very long delivery waits.
Ask directions. If you cannot find a category, ask staff directly; one shopper found a night-shift employee particularly helpful.
Verify location. Double-check the map before setting out, as older reviews say the Google Maps location was wrong.

The Bottom Line
Al Maya Supermarket in Al Barsha is a practical grocery stop for Indian varieties, everyday household items and vegetables. Reviewers also mention an own-brand range, Sri Lankan food, a meat section and a pork section, so the shop has useful options beyond a basic quick basket. Fresh vegetables from Sri Lanka were reported to arrive once or twice a week.
Price is one of the store’s clearest draws, particularly during weekly, weekend and Wednesday-to-Saturday promotions. Vegetables and fruit receive several positive comments, including praise for affordable vegetables and value-for-money tomatoes. At regular prices, though, some shoppers find selected products costly, and one review alleges inconsistent pricing.
Check displayed prices and your bill rather than assuming every offer applies at checkout. The main caution is service consistency. Multiple customers describe delivery waits of two and a half to three and a half hours, missing items, overcharging or unanswered calls, making in-person shopping the safer choice when timing matters.
Inside, reviews mention dark aisles, narrow rows, limited upkeep and occasional difficulty finding products. The Google Maps pin has also been criticised as inaccurate, so verify the location before heading over. One older review says the store is open 24 hours.
