The Good Stuff
Good prices
A customer found the prices good and the location convenient for local shopping.
In-store shopping
In-store shopping received a positive recommendation, unlike the repeatedly criticised delivery service.
Cafeteria option
The store includes a cafeteria called Chai Kappi, giving shoppers an on-site snack or drink stop.
Fresh goods
Some shoppers specifically found the vegetable and fresh-goods selection useful.
Tips for a Better Visit
Shop in person. For anything urgent, visit the store rather than relying on delivery; one nearby customer collected water personally after an hour of calls.
Check freshness. Inspect chicken, chilled goods and vegetables before leaving, especially after reports of spoiled items and strong-smelling chicken.
Check the bill. Review the receipt and promotional pricing at checkout; a crab discount was initially missed and took over 30 minutes to fix.
Allow extra time. If you must order delivery, allow substantial extra time: several customers reported waits of two hours or more.
Plan parking. Parking is often full and the shop may feel tight, so consider timing your visit outside busier periods.

Popular Mentions

Common Concerns
Late delivery
Home delivery is repeatedly reported as very slow, with examples ranging from over an hour to more than three hours.

The Bottom Line
Talal Market is a substantial grocery store in Al Warqa for everyday shopping, with reviews mentioning vegetables and other fresh goods, chicken, fish and crab. One customer called it a very big store with everything, while another found the prices and location convenient. There is also a cafeteria called Chai Kappi, plus a snacks counter and a live team that one reviewer considered highlights.
The important distinction is between shopping inside and ordering from home. In-store shopping was described as recommendable, and some customers found the staff helpful. Delivery, however, is the store’s clearest weakness: reviews describe waits of two to three hours, forgotten or incomplete orders, unanswered calls and, in one case, a delivery taking over an hour for a two-minute walk.
Quality and checkout deserve attention too. Customers mention old vegetables, spoiled refrigerated items, poor-quality potatoes and chicken with an unpleasant smell. One crab promotion was not applied at first, and correcting it took more than half an hour.
Parking is often full and the shop can feel short on space. For a quick, time-sensitive shop, visiting in person and checking freshness, items and the bill before leaving is the safer approach.
