The Good Stuff
Chicken shawarma
The chicken shawarma is repeatedly praised, with one review calling it the best sandwich the customer had eaten.
Fresh manakish
The manakish is made fresh, with zaatar and cheese described as authentic; turkey and cheese is another reported option.
Bakery selection
Reviews mention fresh bakery food, croissants, Lebanese bread and a broad choice of dishes.
Helpful service
Many customers describe the staff as friendly, welcoming and helpful during in-store visits.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check status. Confirm the Hessa Views branch is open before setting out; the latest review says it had closed and suggested WhatsApp delivery instead.
Shop in person. For groceries, in-store shopping may be more dependable than delivery: reviews mention late arrivals, missing items and wrong orders.
Use entrance. Use the customer entrance rather than the courier entrance to avoid the access problem described by one visitor.
Check prices. Compare shelf labels with the till price, especially after a customer reported chocolate marked at 10 DHS but disputed at checkout.
Try bakery. The bakery side received notably better feedback than the store’s general service, so it is worth considering for fresh prepared food.

The Bottom Line
Grandiose is a supermarket in Al Barsha South with a grocery range plus bakery and prepared-food areas. The clearest draws in the reviews are fresh fruit and vegetables, chicken shawarma, made-to-order manakish and café drinks. Customers describe the zaatar-and-cheese manakish as fresh and authentic, while the shawarma earns especially enthusiastic praise.
The food-and-coffee side seems to be the more memorable part of the visit. Reviews mention avocado frappe, pumpkin coffee with maamoul dates and pistachio with Kunafa cream, alongside Lebanese bread, croissants and a broad bakery selection. The atmosphere is described as calm and located in a quiet area, with many positive comments about welcoming staff.
There is an important practical catch: the latest review, posted in January 2026, says the supermarket in the Hessa Views building had closed and that WhatsApp delivery was being suggested instead. Earlier delivery experiences were inconsistent, including late, incomplete and incorrect orders, so confirm the branch is operating before travelling and consider shopping in person where possible. Inside, one customer also complained about fried-oil smells on clothing, while another reported a rude response at the courier entrance.
Check shelf prices against the till as well.
