Customers regularly praise the meat section for fresh, clean cuts, with Syrian lamb and beef available cut to order.
Mixed nuts are a recurring favourite, with one customer calling them the best nuts in the UAE.
Several reviews describe the renovated store as clean and easy to navigate; one mentions digital pricing that makes items easier to check.
The store carries familiar Levantine prepared foods such as labneh, stuffed cabbage and kibbe.
Many in-store shoppers describe the team as welcoming, friendly and willing to help with choices.
Confirm stock. If ordering one key item, confirm it is available first; a customer received two orders missing the main item without notice.
Allow time. For delivery, leave a generous buffer rather than relying on the quoted 30 minutes, as waits over an hour were reported.
Ask for cuts. When buying meat, ask for the cut you need: a review specifically notes that Syrian lamb and beef can be cut to order.
Try prepared foods. Look beyond standard groceries for Levantine prepared dishes such as labneh, stuffed cabbage and kibbe.
Check freshness. Inspect produce and chilled items before paying, since reviews mention unfresh fruit and spoiled yogurt alongside many positive freshness reports.

Stuffed cabbage, written in the review as malfouf me7che, is included among the prepared home-country dishes.
Kebbe is mentioned as another prepared dish available at the supermarket.
A customer specifically thanks the kitchen for its distinctive almond dish.
Delivery is repeatedly reported as unreliable, with promised 30-minute arrivals sometimes taking over an hour or even two hours.
Customers report unanswered WhatsApp orders and calls, including orders with no response after three hours.
One customer says a requested item was missing from two separate orders without advance notice, followed by a one-hour delay.
Reviews include complaints about wilted produce, a spoiled yogurt and raw chicken preparation that was not completed as requested.
A review describes an employee sorting and eating nuts while wearing gloves, raising a specific food-handling concern.
The Bottom Line
Bazaar Gourmet is a neighbourhood supermarket with a strong Levantine identity. You can shop for Lebanese and Syrian groceries, pick up prepared foods such as labneh, malfouf me7che and kebbe, and use the meat counter for fresh Syrian lamb or beef cut to order. Mixed nuts are another recurring draw, while reviews also mention breads, herbs, cheeses and imported specialty items.
The in-store experience is generally the stronger side of the business. Customers describe the renovated shop as clean, well organised and easy to navigate, and one review notes digital pricing that makes checking items simpler. The team is often described as friendly and helpful, and several shoppers specifically praise the meat counter’s guidance and quality.
Prices are described as competitive or affordable, though no review gives a verifiable item price. Delivery is the main caution. Multiple customers report unanswered WhatsApp messages, no response to calls and waits of more than an hour despite 30-minute estimates; one order took two hours.
Stock communication has also been a problem, with a key item omitted twice without prior notice. For an in-person visit, check produce and chilled goods carefully: reviews include complaints about unfresh fruit, spoiled yogurt and an unclean meat-handling experience, although other customers report very fresh goods.
