The Good Stuff
Fresh proteins
One reviewer found the meat, chicken and fish fresh, making the store useful for regular non-vegetarian shopping.
Tea counter
The takeaway counter is popular for tea and snacks such as cutlet, bonda and onion vada.
Helpful staff
Several customers describe the staff as helpful, including one who praised the food selection and Chai.
Specialty groceries
The store carries Indian and Sri Lankan spices, ready-to-eat mixes and dried fish.
Organised store
A customer described the supermarket as clean and well organised throughout.
Tips for a Better Visit
Shop in person. For urgent items, visiting is safer than ordering: one customer reported no delivery update from 8:18 am until 1:20 pm.
Check produce. Inspect fruit and tender coconuts before accepting a delivery, as one review mentions rotten fruit and coconuts without water.
Compare prices. Check produce prices against Carrefour before buying; one review specifically recorded bananas at AED 7.95.
Try the tea. Leave time for the takeaway counter and ask for tea with a snack; customers mention cutlet, bonda and vada.
Carry smaller notes. Bring smaller cash if possible, since a customer reported a refusal to accept AED 100 for a AED 20.50 bill.

The Bottom Line
Fresh Supermarket is a small, practical grocery stop in Discovery Gardens for daily shopping. Customers mention fresh vegetables, Kerala bananas, meat, chicken and fish, along with Indian and Sri Lankan spices, ready-to-eat mixes and dried fish. That makes it more useful for routine cooking than for a large, one-stop supermarket shop.
The takeaway tea counter is part of the local appeal. Reviews mention Chai, KP chai and a one-dirham tea option, plus snacks including cutlet, bonda, onion vada and dhal vada. A rare shortbread also drew attention because reviewers said it was difficult to find elsewhere in the UAE.
Staff and cleanliness receive positive mentions, although experiences are not consistent. Delivery is the main caution. Customers describe late arrivals, incorrect updates, wrong items and unanswered calls; one order placed at 8:18 am had still not been properly updated by 1:20 pm.
Check produce carefully too, as reviews mention rotten fruit and tender coconuts without water. 95. For a quick in-person grocery run or tea stop, it can be convenient; for delivery, confirm availability and timing first.
