Well stocked with a variety options. I frequent for home use stuff like cleaning essentials, food stuffs and drinks. Has an in store liquor section ranging from beers, wines (blend in Tanzania, S.Africa, France and Italy) and whiskies. Their bakery too got some nice stuff, I like. Moderate prices and at a convenient place.

Very poor service. People should be caution and recheck your receipt. As they have a tendency of charging higher price then what has been mentioned on the shelves. Many of the items do not have price on the shelve. Absolutely poor customer service.

They really have high quality items. The other day we bought some meat and it was much better cleaned and packaged without any fat at all and the Chicken sausages were nice and fresh too.

I like the place. Its location is easily accessible and also near residential areas. A quick run to the supermarket in no time. But problem is timing. The supermarket opens late and closes early. With its location they should consider closing say at 11:30pm onwards. One can relax and shop after busytime. But now people eun from work and are tired from a long day and you are forced to rush to the supermarket to do your shopping.

One of the better supermarkets in Dar es Salaam. Has a lot of imported items and reasonable meat

A VERY expensive import focused store. A box of cereal is 12USD, a jar of jam was 10USD, a small box of milk 8USD. There are some reasonably price local items but they are few and far between.

Expensive! Pringles that I can get for 5000 or 6000 TZS is 14,000 in Village Supermarket. Even Shoppers and Mlilani City do things cheaper than this shop.I think everything I saw had the price hiked up. Tuna that you can get everywhere else for 8000/9000 is also around 14,000 in this place, although I know a place where they do nice tuna for 3000.I bought two items, at inflated prices, and called it a day. There are better places.I will put this one and only visit down to experience.

One year ago I gave them 5 stars but no more their service is getting so poor and they dont pick up telephone. They are registered with Piki food service but they are never visible on their website so one cannot order. Very sad looks like poor management has taken place !!!!

Quite a good patisserie and delicatessen section. Fresh and good quality, of course at a price that is nominally high but still offers good value in terms of consumer surplus. Few setups can pull off a luxury or premium positioning in the supermarket segment.

The place is nice however the Indian manager who was on duty on 13th May was so rude to me, he didnt wanna listen to me for 30 secs just because he was smilingly looking for a barcode on some Cuban tobacco for an old mzungu man who was already smoking another cig inside the store. Yes I understand the customer service etiquettes but he was rude at first glance when I wanted to ask some details for some fridge magnets where he rudely replied that he had a customer to serve and I had to wait for 5 minutes, until I jumped in again asking for 30 secs of his time (after he had a break from the guy). This time I asked if I could place my fliers inside the store in the same place where I found other posters+promotional materials from other advertisers but this guy harshly replied NO, ITS NOT POSSIBLE, I tried to ask why its possible for other guys and not possible for me? I even added if there was a fee so I could also pay. I think I made him angry and only replied KAKA, ITS NOT POSSIBLE with a look not supposed to be worn by a store manager to customers, couldnt even let me finish the 30 secs I initially asked for and left the store disappointed by the customer experience given from the manager.I paid for the few items and left the place but very heartbroken, couldnt even understand if that was racial or I just got into somebodys bad day, but he need to fix his attitude.

Unique products can be found here. The prices are slightly higher. But perhaps because of the products available?Love the ice cream corner. I literally drive miles to come and have either the frozen yoghurt or their ice creamsVery tasty and the staff in this corner are particularly always pleasant. Not sure Id say the same about the staff elsewhere including at the bakery corner. Seems like they are always in a rush and would rather you get out of their way as soon as possible !

Great place to do all your grocery shopping. The selection of fresh items, meats, drinks and baked good is top notch. If youre from the UK or have lived there before, youll be able to find recognisable brands.It is a wee bit expensive though, but quality demands a higher price.

One particular member of staff was very rude. I was about to pay for 12 boxes of Juice and he came out screaming that you are not allowed to buy that many. Apparently the maximum allowed was 2. Never experienced anything like that anywhere else. Very unprofessional. Horrible customer service.

Is more like combined supermarket and Dept store with kitchen & household goods. The meat & poultry section offers good quality, good choice of local frozen seafood. The vegetables & fruits dept is small and needs to be better organized. It offers imported and some local vegetables/fruits. There is slso a spirit dept for wine, alcohol, local & imported beer Prices are reasonable and is patronized by mostly foreign & some local community. Good friendly staff and management, has its own bakery for bread cakes sweets. and small bistro for quick coffee, tea and sweets.

This is a VERY nice grocery store with nice options in the bakery and elsewhere. They have started a chop while you shop. If you pick out your fruit at the beginning of your shopping, they will cut and prepare it for you. I havent tried this yet, but plan to! They have some wonderful breads available, nice produce, and it is a very friendly store. The Masai guards are very nice and helpful when you are ready to back out from parking also. I would say it is one of the most upscale grocery stores I have found in Dar.

This is a very neat, medium sized, upmarket supermarket with a wide range of products. You will find a small section with good fruit and veggies, dairy products (ice cream included;-), meats, cooking and baking supplies, household cleaning products, personal hygiene products etc. I think you get the picture.

Review β„–63

One place must say is cheater when they know you white thats it they take advantage of you. At the billing counter they simply add up their own stuff and bill it. Like for example I bought 7 items but was billed for 8.thrn I realized it was the employee who bought a energy bar in my money. Thats really so disrespectful if they asked I wouldnt say no since I feed many needy ppl. Imagine your not need man you work here and the lady at the counter put her boyfriends bill on me? I couldnt spent 6.000tsh and go fight for it I just had to let go. Just be careful dont leave your trolley and go away dont even answer your phone when at the counter be smart. Check the bill count the products before you leave.

Top end supermarket experience with a broad selection of local and foreign goods and groceries. The fresh foods section has a good variety of fresh and organic goods, and the in house bakery has a good selection of breads. A touch pricey compared to Nakumatt and Shoppers supermarket chains but then again this supermarket targets the expat and middle class niche in Dar.

Be aware of getting cheated, Prices on the shelf are deceiving. You end up paying more than then what you should be paying. Also the Managers are rude and undisciplined. Instead of admitting the mistakes they say to their assistants to fix the problem and get rid of them as soon as possible. this is the kind of customer treatment there. I believe they are doing this purposely robbing people.
