The Good Stuff
Fresh produce
Fresh vegetables and fruit are a strong point, with one review also noting a good selection of flowers on some days.
Large branch
This is described as one of the bigger VIVA stores, with wide aisles and more categories than many other branches.
Butcher help
The butcher section can provide hands-on help choosing meat and careful preparation of requested quantities.
Easy parking
Times Square Center provides plenty of parking, and one customer reported the first two hours were free.
Wide aisles
Wide aisles make it easier to shop with a trolley, especially compared with tighter grocery stores.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check receipts. Compare shelf labels with the bill before leaving; one customer reported different pricing at checkout.
Bring smaller notes. Cash payments can stall when change is unavailable, so avoid relying on AED 100 or AED 500 notes for small shops.
Visit off-peak. If you want a quicker shop, avoid busy periods when only one till may be open and queues build.
Check juice. Before paying for fresh juice, confirm it is tagged and ask about the return policy.
Allow time. For butcher purchases, allow extra time because one reviewer waited at least 15 minutes on every visit.
Use parking. Times Square Center parking is useful for a larger shop; one review says the first two hours are free.

The Bottom Line
VIVA Supermarket in Al Quoz is a sizeable discount grocery store where you can stock up on everyday food, imported European and US products, fresh vegetables, meat from the in-store butcher, and household items. The main draw is value: reviews describe prices as cheaper than major supermarket chains, with regular promotions and deals that are not always found at other branches. The fresh section gets consistent praise.
Shoppers mention good-quality fruit and vegetables, ready-to-cook meat, and an industrial-grade orange juicer. The branch is reportedly larger than many other VIVA stores, with wide aisles and a broad selection, so it is more practical for a full shop than a quick neighbourhood top-up. Times Square Center also makes parking straightforward; one customer reported the first two hours were free.
The weak spot is checkout. Several visitors found only one till open in a busy store, sometimes leaving six or seven people in line. Cash change has also caused disputes, particularly for AED 100 and AED 500 notes, while some customers reported shelf-price mismatches at billing.
Check your receipt and confirm fresh-juice labelling before paying. If you need the butcher, allow extra time: one reviewer waited at least 15 minutes on five visits.
