The Good Stuff
Organised shelves
A recent review says the new Talal store replaced Quick Supermarket with neat, organised shelves and better service.
Special offers
Promotions and discounts are mentioned as a way to save on regular supermarket purchases.
Helpful service
Some customers describe staff as cooperative and helpful, including assistance finding items in the store.
Tips for a Better Visit
Allow time. If ordering food, allow substantial extra time: reviews describe two-hour waits and even a four-to-five-hour delay.
Confirm delivery. Confirm that delivery is actually available before placing a food order; one customer received conflicting answers from reception.
Check the cut. For butcher orders, repeat the exact cut and confirm it before cutting; one customer requested shoulder and was given ribs instead.
Inspect produce. Check the produce area before buying, especially if smell or flies would bother you; both were reported in one review.
Shop in-store. For time-sensitive groceries, in-store shopping may be safer than delivery given repeated reports of late orders near the market.

The Bottom Line
Talal Market is a convenient grocery stop in Dubai South, particularly for everyday shopping when you want fresh vegetables, fish or meat without travelling far. Reviews also mention Filipino food, frequent promotions and discounts, and a wider-than-expected selection for a residential-area market. The store recently replaced Quick Supermarket, with one customer noting neater, more organised shelves under the new management.
The main caution is delivery. Customers describe orders arriving one to two hours late, a four-to-five-hour delay, missing or incorrect items, and calls or WhatsApp messages going unanswered. One nearby customer waited 1 hour 16 minutes for drinks, while another was told delivery was available and later told it was not.
If timing matters, shop in person or confirm the arrangement clearly before ordering. The in-store experience is not completely consistent either. Some customers praise helpful staff and good prices, but others report an unpleasant smell and flies in the produce section.
Prices were described by one reviewer as almost double, sometimes triple, those at Viva or Al Madina. Restaurant feedback ranges from tasty biryani and good portions to complaints about rubbery fish, half-cooked food and long waits.
