A small but useful shop for everyday groceries and convenience purchases, especially for nearby residents.
Customers mention fresh fruits and vegetables, with some also finding the fish fresh compared with nearby supermarkets.
Fresh fish is reported to be available in the morning, and one reviewer considered it worth the price.
Reviews describe almost every type of everyday good as available, though some categories could use more variety.
One review found the store less crowded, which may make quick in-person shopping easier.
Tea Talk café is open for 24-hour tea, with one customer comparing the tea favourably to Indian-style tea.
The shop has delivered very small orders, including a single one-dirham item, according to customers.
Reviews place it near the car market and a bus stop, making it convenient for nearby residents and passers-by.
Shop in person. For anything time-sensitive, visit the store rather than relying on delivery; one water order took over two hours.
Confirm timing. Ask for a realistic delivery estimate before ordering; a customer cancelled after waiting from 08:50 to 10:06 without clear notice.
Check items. Check your order on arrival and confirm substitutions, since reviewers report missing or wrong items and no stock warnings.
Try mornings. If you want fresh fish, visit in the morning, when one review specifically says it is available.
Use the café. For a late-night tea stop, look for Tea Talk café inside the supermarket; reviewers mention 24-hour tea.
Watch parking. Allow for awkward parking at busy moments: one review says cars stop in the road near the junction.

Meat is named as one of the grocery options available at the supermarket.
Older reviews describe free home delivery as an available service, though later reviews frequently report delays.
Delivery delays are the clearest recurring problem, with several customers reporting waits of two to three hours.
Customers report unclear updates, wrong addresses and repeated assurances that orders are almost arriving when they are not.
Several reviews describe delivery or phone staff as rude, dismissive or unprofessional when customers followed up.
A reviewer says staff lacked stock knowledge, while another reported missing and wrong items without out-of-stock notice.
Some customers consider the supermarket expensive compared with other nearby shops, particularly for vegetables and fish.
The Bottom Line
Al Samary Supermarket is a compact everyday grocery stop in Ras Al Khor, useful for nearby residents who need daily essentials without travelling far. Reviews mention fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh fish in the morning, and a broad selection of ordinary goods. There is also Tea Talk café, where customers can get tea around the clock.
The store’s biggest practical advantage is convenience. It is open 24x7, sits near a bus stop and car market, and has handled very small delivery orders, including a single one-dirham item. Some customers also describe the shop as neatly organised, friendly and relatively uncrowded, making a quick in-person visit straightforward.
Delivery is the major caution. Multiple reviews describe waits of two or three hours, unclear updates, wrong or missing items, and rude responses when customers follow up. If timing matters, shop in person or ask for a firm estimate before ordering, then check the order when it arrives.
Prices are also mixed: some call them reasonable, while others find the supermarket expensive compared with nearby alternatives, especially for vegetables and fish. Parking can be messy around the junction, and families should know that one older review mentions children playing inside the store.
