Tips for a Better Visit
Check bills. Review your receipt before leaving; one shopper found AED 60 of paid items missing from the bill.
Verify payment. At self-checkout, confirm your bank notification and receipt before walking out if the machine looks delayed.
Check freshness. Inspect ready salads, cooked food and delicate produce before paying, as some reviews report freshness problems.
Compare prices. Use Spinneys for selected premium items rather than a full budget shop; reviews say everyday staples cost more.
Ask staff. If you cannot find an item, ask an assistant: one review says the store may bring it in for later collection.
Look for offers. Check bakery promotions before buying; one review mentions croissants sold as two for AED 20.

The Bottom Line
Spinneys in Al Furjan is a well-organised supermarket for shoppers who care about produce quality and a broader international range. Reviews highlight fresh fruit and vegetables, premium packaged goods, organic products, imported groceries and a useful ready-food counter. Chicken biryani, healthy salads, pastries and fresh fish are among the more specific draws.
The store is spacious, clean and generally easy to shop, with several checkout counters, self-checkout machines and ample parking nearby. Local delivery has also been mentioned through NOW NOW. The international selection is a genuine strength: shoppers cite South African items such as Mrs Balls Chutney, Ouma Rusks and Biltong, as well as European products and pork.
Price is the main trade-off. Multiple customers compare it unfavourably with Carrefour, Lulu and online delivery platforms, so it may make more sense for a targeted premium shop than a full weekly basket. Service feedback is mixed: many customers describe friendly, helpful staff, but others report poor attitudes, problems getting ready meals heated and an embarrassing self-checkout payment dispute.
Check your bill and the freshness of salads or cooked food before leaving, especially after the recent reports of missing scanned items, stale salad and undercooked rice.
