A large selection of international products gives this small supermarket more range than a basic convenience stop.
Fresh-cut pineapple and watermelon portions are practical grab-and-go options for a quick snack.
The store has a cafeteria and serves Starbucks coffee, with seating for a quick bite.
You can pick up parcels here, which adds a useful errand to an everyday grocery stop.
A review reports that the store is open 24/7, useful for late-night essentials and early starts.
Customers describe it as a nearby source for everyday essentials, including groceries and quick bites.
Avoid lunch. Visit outside lunch hours if you want a quicker checkout; one review reports a single cashier at that time.
Check orders. Before leaving or eating, verify the sandwich or hot-food order, especially if you have allergies.
Use walk-in. For time-sensitive purchases, walk in rather than relying on delivery, which has been reported to take hours.
Carry smaller notes. Bring smaller cash or a card if possible: a reviewer says change for high-value bills can run out.
Try fruit. For a simple snack, look for the small fruit portions; pineapple and watermelon were specifically mentioned.
Confirm coffee. If you want coffee with a quick bite, ask for the cafeteria or Starbucks coffee rather than assuming every counter offers it.
Plan the visit
One customer mentions a salad bar with salads costing around 25 AED.
The sandwich bar is described as a place for fresh, inexpensive food with generous portions.
Several reviews report incorrect hot-food orders, including a falafel sandwich supplied instead of chicken and shawarma instead of falafel.
One visit found the hotdogs unappetising and reported too many flies around the food.
At lunchtime, reviewers say there may be only one cashier serving customers, causing delays.
Some customers consider the prices higher than nearby local shops, so it may not suit a tightly priced grocery run.
Delivery reviews describe waits of up to two and a half hours, even for nearby offices and homes.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

The Bottom Line
This ZOOM is a practical convenience supermarket in Business Bay for everyday essentials, quick grocery runs and late-hour stops. Reviews mention international goods, fresh-cut fruit, sandwiches and quick bites, while the store also has a cafeteria with Starbucks coffee and seating. Parcel pickup is another useful reason to combine errands here.
The fresh fruit portions are a clear standout for convenience: one customer found freshly cut pineapple for 5 AED and watermelon for 3 AED. Another mentioned a salad bar with salads around 25 AED. A review also describes the sandwich bar as a source of fresh, inexpensive food with generous portions, though experiences with hot food are inconsistent.
Timing matters. The store is reported to be open 24/7, but lunchtime can mean a queue when only one cashier is working. Prices are described by some customers as higher than nearby local shops, and change for large notes may be unavailable.
Check prepared-food orders before eating, particularly if allergies are involved; reviews describe chicken, falafel and shawarma orders being mixed up. Delivery is the weakest point in the feedback, with reports of waits lasting one and a half to two and a half hours. For urgent purchases, walking in looks more dependable.
