The Bottom Line
ae is a Russian and CIS grocery shop in Al Barsha, useful for imported foods that customers say are difficult to find elsewhere in the UAE. The shop is particularly well regarded for fresh produce and a broad selection, though the exact choice may vary by branch. There is plenty to browse beyond standard groceries.
Reviews mention cherries, tomatoes, cucumbers, apricots and peaches, as well as smoked mackerel, herbal teas, trout caviar and Russian chocolates. Vyazanka sausages, Krakow sausage and the shop’s ice creams are specific favourites, giving regular shoppers a few reliable things to look for. The main caution is price: several customers consider the range expensive, and one compared butter costing 300 rbl in Russia with 28 aed here.
Parking also gets mixed feedback; one customer found trouble, while another said parking was available nearby. Staff experiences vary too, from helpful and accommodating to complaints about customer care and an unwelcoming cashier interaction. If you would rather avoid a branch visit, one online customer reported quick delivery, an exact timing call and well-packed goods matching the website photos.
