Compare prices. Use Spinneys for quality or specialty items, but compare staples elsewhere if you are doing a large family or monthly shop.
Try honey cake. For a bakery treat, honey cake is a repeatedly mentioned choice; one review called a slice melt-in-the-mouth.

Honey cake is described as a not-too-sweet treat and a standout bakery purchase.

The in-store bakery is specifically noted for its variety of freshly baked goods, including energy bread.
The premium positioning comes with noticeably higher prices, making larger family or monthly shops less attractive for budget-conscious shoppers.
Some customers reported spoiled lamb and lobster, while also describing an unsatisfactory response to quality complaints.
Ready-to-eat quality is inconsistent: reviews mention awful chicken biryani, overly spicy food and a Waldorf sandwich with almost no chicken.
One customer waited 20 minutes to speak with a senior manager, suggesting complaints may not always be handled quickly.

The Bottom Line
Spinneys in Mirdif suits shoppers who want a polished supermarket experience and are willing to pay more for choice. The useful strengths are easy to spot in the reviews: fresh fruit and vegetables, international groceries, a salad bar with plenty of options, and an in-store bakery with freshly baked breads and pastries. The carrot cake, Maple Pecan plait, honey cake and Organic Sourdough Buckwheat Loaf all get specific mentions.
The store is spacious, clean and well organised, with wide aisles and a calm atmosphere. Staff are often described as friendly and helpful, and several shoppers say parking is easy or spacious. It works well for a quality-focused weekly shop, a quick stop for less common ingredients, or picking up specialty items such as imported goods and non-Muslim food products.
The trade-off is price: reviewers regularly call it expensive, and some use other supermarkets for budget staples. Fresh-food quality also deserves a quick check. Multiple customers reported spoiled meat or fish, while others found problems with deli dishes, sandwiches or salads.
Delivery shoppers should review substitutions and the final invoice carefully, as one complaint described costlier replacements and a higher bill.
