“I love this place
Update: Wanted to thank Carl in the grill area for some very tasty grinders! He was very fast and efficient, and read my order back to me. Kudos”
“Premium quality Mediterranean market with a nice selection of prepared foods, refrigerated and frozen items, olives, olive oil, pastas, breads, cheeses, spices, fine wines and desserts. Convenient parking next to the store and physically handicapped accessible (ramp). A wonderful complementary market to nearby Bahnan’s (that is more focused on Middle Eastern foods).”
“Excellent place to buy organic and healthier foods, cheaper than other markets and have enough variety of foods
Furthermore, their staff is always friendly and very cordial.”
“UPDATE: Ordered my other son’s cake and cupcakes to celebrate his first birthday this past weekend. Enjoyed every bite!
Huge Market Basket fans in general. Shrewsbury store in particular has the best bakery ever! Jill was amazing with creating my son’s custom birthday cake and cupcakes. From order to pick up, process was seamless. Everyone complimented how awesome the cake looked and how great everything tasted. Will definitely order from here again!”
“Lots of choices of authentic polish specialties. Many fresh made items including breads and pastries. English seems to be a second language for many staff, but we worked it out. Store was very crowded with customers, but everyone was polite, patient and waited their turn at the counter.”
“This store is absolutely one of the cleanest grocery store! I mainly drop in for the freshly made soups and chili/especially the chili. The selections for ready made dinners are fantastic with a large variety to chose. I never do a complete shop there because it's out of my price range. But the chili and soups are Mmmm! and I never had a bad ready made meal. So Thank you cleaning staff and the entire work force...you folks are on the ball?”
“After several visits to A&T Halal Crispy Fried Chicken and Convenience, I am beyond impressed with both the quality of their food and the warm, welcoming service. Every dish I've tried, especially the crispy fried chicken, was flavorful, perfectly cooked, and left me craving more. The convenience aspect is just as commendable; it’s a one-stop shop for many essentials. The staff always greets me with a smile and goes above and beyond to ensure a pleasant experience. It's clear they take pride in their establishment, and it shines through in every aspect. A must-visit for anyone in the area! 5 stars.”
“Always can find parking and product that I need. Their meat selection is pretty much unrivaled..... except at maybe a butcher's shop. Pretty much the only downside is that their door dash pricing is a little too expensive.”
“Patel Bros. markets are among the best stocked Indian food shopping venues in the region. The Shrewsbury location is excellent for its comprehensive offering of different varieties of rice, fresh vegetables, canned and dry goods, spices, nuts, refrigerated items (yogurt, Indian cheese, other dairy, etc.) and frozen foods. Have been shopping here for over a decade. Ample parking (lot off of Rt. 9) and more limited parking directly in front of the store.”
“Awesome place, owner is a great guy and they have a larger variety ranging from Spanish foods to toiletries. If you need anything chances are they have it! Hours are convenient for people who need to get something early or grab something late u forgot!. And they are still open Incase the previous reviewer made an honest mistake . They are still right on Belmont st Worceste, just names changes to three Js”

“Wow! I am not from the area but ran in to pick up a few things while I waited for my daughter to get out of an appointment. Immediately, the store presents as clean, neat, and well organized. Aisles are plenty wide and makes for an easy shopping experience.
But I really have to rave about the staff who were so kind and went above and beyond!! The staff stocking shelves were all pleasant and took the time to greet each customer warmly. The woman working the self-checkout, helped with finding me a freezer bag to keep my meat and produce cold until I got home. The friendly security guard at the door offering a warm smile and greeting when entering and exiting the store. Even the young man collecting carriages from the parking lot who stopped in the middle of what he was doing to offer to assist an older woman with putting groceries in her car.
I will absolutely be back, this level of care and customer service is well worth the drive. Highly recommend!!”

“Since they have gone to bagging the veggies (3 peppers per bag), etc, I'm not as happy. Veggies/ fruits don't seem as fresh as before and it is so much nicer to pick the veggie/fruit you want. What about all the extra plastic that is producing and wasting on the environment??”
“Well, where do we start? Downtown Worcester has had a decreasing number of options for grocery shopping. This is true especially for those with limited budget. There is one good steadfast exception however, and that is Gala Foods. This is a nice little market that ticks many boxes. It's proximity to both Downtown as well as other peripheral neighborhoods. It's also very affordable and offers many options for a range of shoppers. The fresh food section is excellent and has options you won't find in those main stream stores that aren't so close by. This makes Gala a win for Worcester and it's diverse residents.”
“The Shaw's located in or around the Grove St area is Fantastic!!! The pharmacy is wicked quick, I've NEVER waited more than 12 or 15 minutes for an RX.
The store is clean and always stocked.
What more could you ask for ✌️”
“I had given Wegmans N'boro 5 stars, but since they changed how they "serve" coffee & b'fast sandwiches I gave it 4 ... but really mean 3.5.”
“I have a hard time choosing between Wegmans and Whole Foods. Both represent the high price end of grocery chains. This location has liquor, which helps make a great chili.”

“The best store in Worcester , they have real Ghanaian corn dough and his prices are great, very humble owner, excellent customer service and clean store, with lots of African foods to choose from”
“Very well located. It has good parking. And good prices. And the attention is first class. And the products are always fresh. And there are always specials. Very clean. And they always sell for all occasions. And the cleanliness is also impeccable.”
“Mashallah. Small but full of the best goodies from Iraq and other Arab countries including tea sets and Jordanian soap. Produce of top choice to give your dinner the authentic taste of "back home" flavors. Halal items as well.”

“I love Market 32! Awesome one stop shop supermarket. I frequently shop there, and I never leave feeling disappointed. If I have a concern, customer service is diligent and resolves the problem before it becomes an actual problem. The bakery is wonderful, cakes and desserts are always fresh. Juan in produce is amazing and is readily available to help out. The food court will not disappoint you, always fresh and delicious. We order pizza weekly, better than any local pizza/sub shop, and the price is right! I leave reviews when I feel the need to really acknowledge efforts made, and I can’t say enough about Market 32!! Thanks to all the employees and managers who work so hard and always have smiles on their faces!!! It changes someone’s day from a stressful shopping trip to an enjoyable visit! :)”
“The seafood is excellent, especially the Fish and Chips, Sea Scallops and Lobsters. Comes with delicious cole slaw. Omar and crew do a great job - I try to get there every week! Thank you!”
“I have been going to the store for years since the first day it opened the owners, and the staff have always been wonderful and helpful ,friendly they are a staple in that neighborhood. I have since moved from the neighborhood, but I still make it a point to go there.”
“Love the convenience of this store, most of the employees are super helpful , but there are a few annoyances, the deli is super slow and closed on most days around 7pm, they have a great selection of products , but go in on a Monday and you will find most popular items not stocked , and last at all costs avoid the self checkouts, the attendant will hover over you and watch every move ,and they are not discrete about it, it’s less pressure just go to a regular checkout . I feel that with a few changes this could be a 5star store.”
“They have good stuffs just check the dates on them. The women there is really nice. She has palm oil, par boiled rice, crayfish, Maggi, and other bullion cubes, she has noodles and others things from Africa.”

“Delicious fish and chips and this time We tried the platter! Yum!! Fresh and well cooked!!! I don’t know if they forgot the coleslaw or it’s different now but We ordered 4 dishes: 2 fish and chips and 2 platters and we didn’t get any coleslaw. I will ask next time because this was unexpected. That’s my reason for the 4 stars”
“The “mostly woman” and Eric at Hannafords Pharmacy have been great for years! Have provided superior service to that of CVS since I started using them many years ago.”
“There's a lot of good reviews but most of these reviews are not from legit common sense people. I've been buying things from here for 2 years now and what I noticed quite frequently is the produce not being up to par. Some oranges were moldy. That's dangerous and could really kill someone. Also the hot food section is very hit or miss. Always be careful. Let's note some of the food that's displayed on the premade food cold fridge , are dated 4 days from when they were made. So freshness isn't always a plus here at this family owned business. Now im pointing out vital things that they need to appropriately take action on. People could get sick from the lack of ambition these workers put into the store. Sure they can vacuum and sweep. But that should be the last thing to do for the day and not ignore moldy produce and expired food with wrong dates. Ok. Here's another legit thing. Everything that's not store related is hella expensive. And I mean 3 TIMES MORE expensive. For example. A box of cheez it's here is over 5 dollars. At Walmart it's less than 2.79 for a large box.
Here's another example. White castle burgers 8.19 for 6. Walmart it's 5.79
Another example Kimmy Dean breakfast bowls 5 dollars after tax ??? Walmart it's 2.59
Ok... Chips in general over 6 to 7 dollars and raos sauce ECT very expensive almost 13 dollars.
This is not a good look considering other markers are selling the same product for 3 times less. I would not recommend shopping a full cart here unless your a rich trust fund baby or a rich Democrat who feeds off of inflation while watching the hard working blue collars dish out tons of money just to fit in with the rich town society. Yeah yeah yeah. Sorry I'm not the type of guy who accepts hand outs and lives lavish. I actually point out the things that are wrong with businesses that others completely purposely ignore. Like I said these 5 star reviews are from people who are blind Litterly. They are too scared to speak on the truth about things In life.
Lets note one more thing. The meat is good. Probably better than most butchers. Why? Well you can see there is very kind older guys who have experience with butchering.
Another thing Some of the younger people are awkward and they make you feel awkward you can sense the depression off of them. I always sense energy and some of the people there have very negative energy....
Smile more maybe you'll go farther in life and bring your energy up, maybe some people are sad because they fail at having motivation to do a simple job.”
