The supermarket stays open around the clock, making it useful for late-night or early-morning essentials.
Customers report a broad selection of daily groceries, fresh produce and international products despite the store's compact size.
The store is inside Ritaj with accessible parking, and one review describes it as convenient for residents of both Ritaj and Dunes Village.
Some shoppers describe the staff as polite, cooperative and willing to help with products.
The grocery range includes speciality Indian snacks, with Aakash Namkeen specifically mentioned by a customer.
A review says the wide aisles are manageable for families with children and shoppers using strollers.
Check receipts. Compare shelf labels and promotions with the POS receipt before leaving; customers report repeated pricing mismatches.
Avoid rush. Allow 20–30 minutes for checkout during busy morning and evening periods, or try a quieter time.
Plan delivery. For delivery, order well ahead rather than relying on a quick drop-off; multiple reviews describe long waits and unanswered calls.
Ask minimum. Before placing a delivery order, confirm any minimum spend: one customer was told delivery required an order of 100 AED or more.
Inspect dates. Check expiry dates and the condition of fresh items before paying, especially if buying packaged goods or shopping late.
Visit weekdays. Weekends can be crowded, while one customer found weekdays less busy, so plan accordingly if you want a calmer shop.

Reviews say some cooked Indian curries are available for customers seeking ready-to-eat food.
The supermarket is mentioned as delivering to nearby areas, although several customers report delays and difficulty reaching the delivery line.
Home delivery is repeatedly described as unreliable, with some nearby orders taking one to two hours or arriving incomplete.
Several customers say offer or shelf prices were not reflected at checkout, including a cooking oil charge that differed sharply from the shelf label.
Some shoppers consider everyday prices expensive compared with other supermarkets, including a higher price for Al Arz bread.
Reviews include repeated complaints about rude or unprofessional interactions at the billing counter, on delivery calls and at night security.
One customer says many products were close to expiry, while others questioned the freshness of some vegetables, fruit and chicken.
The Bottom Line
Al Maya Supermarket in Dunes Village is a convenient 24-hour grocery stop inside Ritaj. You can pick up daily essentials, fresh produce, household items and international groceries in a compact, organised store. Reviews also mention speciality Indian snacks such as Aakash Namkeen, plus cooked Indian curries for something ready to eat.
Its strongest practical advantage is access: residents can shop at any hour, parking is described as easy, and one review says the wide aisles work well with strollers. Some customers also find the staff polite and helpful, and cash, card and NFC payments have been reported as available. The weak spot is home delivery.
Reviews repeatedly mention unanswered calls, missing or incorrect items and waits of one to two hours, even for homes only a few minutes away. Confirm whether a minimum order applies; one customer was told delivery required at least 100 AED. Prices also deserve attention.
Shoppers describe the store as expensive, and several say promotional or shelf prices did not match the POS total. Check your receipt before leaving, inspect expiry dates and look closely at fruit, vegetables and packaged goods. Expect longer checkout queues during busy morning and evening periods.
