The Good Stuff
Fresh produce
Customers report a good selection of fresh vegetables and fruit, including prepared cut fruit and highly rated fresh produce.
Clean store
Several reviews describe the supermarket as clean, tidy, organised and well maintained.
Friendly service
Staff are often described as friendly, with one regular customer highlighting consistently positive service.
Free parking
The store is inside Damac Hills Mall, where customers can use free parking.
Deli selection
The deli, salad bar and grill section are useful draws for customers looking for prepared food rather than a full grocery shop.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check prices. Compare shelf labels with the till total, especially offers; one customer had to return for a refund after a discount was missed.
Ask for basics. If standard cooking tomatoes are not visible, ask staff: one shopper found only the 23 AED option displayed and had to request the cheaper ones.
Use free parking. The branch is inside Damac Hills Mall, so factor in the mall parking rather than searching for separate supermarket parking.
Try quieter times. Reviews describe the store as not busy and report no queues, so it may suit a quick shop when you want to avoid crowds.
Inspect fresh food. Check prepared fruit, bakery items and ready meals before buying, given reviews reporting dirty lettuce and concerns about bakery freshness.

The Bottom Line
Spinneys in Damac Hills Mall is handy for a quick grocery run, especially if you want more than packaged staples. Reviews mention fresh vegetables and fruit, prepared cut fruit, ready-made meals, frozen pre-cooked food, and a deli or salad bar. The grill and salad section gets particularly strong praise, while freshly prepared bakery items are another reason to browse the food counter.
The store is repeatedly described as clean, tidy, organised and not especially busy. Staff are generally considered friendly, and the mall location comes with free parking. That combination makes it convenient for residents who need a fast stop rather than a major supermarket trip.
The main drawback is price. Several customers consider it expensive compared with competing supermarkets, and one shopper said ordinary cooking tomatoes were hidden behind a 23 AED display option. Check shelf labels and promotional prices against your receipt: reviews describe discounts not applying at checkout and items being charged from the wrong price tag.
Food quality is less consistent. Alongside praise for tasty ready meals, customers report dirty lettuce, poor orange juice, undercooked fried rice and plastic shavings in cheese croissants. Inspect fresh and prepared items before paying.
