The cheese room is praised for its quality, with one visitor describing an unusually broad Swiss and French selection.
The café is a genuine draw, from strong cappuccino to an ice Spanish latte and creative bartender-made drinks.
The children’s play area gives families somewhere to occupy kids while shopping or having coffee.
Covered basement parking is repeatedly noted as a practical advantage, especially in Dubai’s heat.
Several reviews praise the fresh produce, including wide choices of vegetables and fruit and a strong organic assortment.
One review reports cheap, tasty daily meals, with four to five meals averaging 50–70 AED.
The site is more than a grocery shop, with reviews mentioning a pharmacy, salon, laundry, pet store and café.
Use Back Parking. For more parking, try the Street 14A back entrance rather than the front entrance.
Request Receipt. Ask for your receipt before leaving and check the change immediately, especially when paying with a large note.
Check Bread. Inspect baguettes before buying; one review specifically warns that some were hard and stale.
Check Policies. If using Fazaa, confirm the threshold and discount rules first: one review says a 100 AED minimum applied.
Allow Time. Build in extra time for the café or heated pastries, as reviews describe waits of 10 to more than 15 minutes.
Plan the visit
Two recent reviews describe difficulty receiving receipts, alongside a serious concern about incorrect change after a cash purchase.
A pastry-section review alleges staff handled food directly with gloves also used for coffee preparation and cleaning.
A review says baguettes were defrosted, hard and stale, while another called the freshly baked baguette hard.
One customer reported a bad-smelling frozen shrimp product, an expired shelf item and dusty shelves.
Waiting can be frustrating: one café customer spent more than 15 minutes just trying to place an order.
The Bottom Line
Grandiose Jumeirah 2 is a large supermarket serving Jumeirahjumeirah 2, but it feels closer to a community shopping centre than a simple grocery run. You can buy everyday produce and household items, browse the cheese room, stop at the café, or pick up prepared food. Families may also appreciate the children’s play area.
The strongest food mentions are the cheese selection, baked goods, coffee and fresh juices. One customer particularly liked the ice Spanish latte with less sweet, while another praised the café bartender’s creative off-menu-style drinks. Daily meals were described as tasty and inexpensive, averaging 50–70 AED for four to five meals.
Basement parking is a useful advantage, and a review says the Street 14A back entrance has more spaces than the front. Quality and service are not entirely consistent. Recent shoppers report problems getting receipts, including one alleged cash-change shortfall, and another review flags direct pastry handling with gloves also used for coffee preparation.
Check baguettes, chilled and frozen goods, shelf dates and prices before paying. Café and pastry service can also be slow, so this is easier as an unhurried stop than a tightly timed coffee break.
