“I shopped yesterday for the first time in their Falmouth store. Very impressed. I only bought a couple items, (was only down for a weekend trip) but easily saved three dollars at least.
Wish I could have used cash to purchase my items, but can understand why the cc saves them money.
When I returned home I looked for the Aldi's near me. I will for sure be a regular shopper there.”
“Gala Foods Supermarket in Worcester is one of those rare places that restores your faith in what a grocery store — and a community — can be. Every visit feels refreshing, abundant, and full of warmth. The energy here is bright yet gentle: colorful aisles, inviting lighting, and signage that feels caring rather than loud. Everything looks fresh, tastes vibrant, and is priced so fairly that you can shop with both joy and peace of mind.
My favorite part of Gala Foods has always been the deli — truly one of the best in all of Worcester (and I say that as a former deli worker!). Their sandwiches are made with love and precision, bursting with flavor and generosity.
I especially want to recognize Alfred, one of the deli staff members, who consistently went above and beyond. His kindness, humor, and genuine attentiveness turned an ordinary lunch stop into something special. He treated us not just like customers, but like guests, and you could tell he takes pride in making food that touches people’s hearts.
What stands out most about Gala Foods is the culture of care that shines through every person there. The whole team radiates friendliness and sincerity — it’s clear that leadership has created an environment where people love what they do and love who they work with. That kind of joy can’t be faked; it’s felt in every smile and every fresh, delicious bite.
The selection of Latin American foods is also outstanding — diverse, authentic, and beautifully presented. You can feel the pride and cultural richness that Gala Foods brings to the community.
Every time I left Gala Foods, I felt nourished not only in body but in spirit. I’m so grateful this place exists — it’s a true gem in Worcester and a reflection of everything good about food, people, and community.
If I could give more stars, I would.”
“Great prices and surprisingly fast check out even when it looks busy. You need a quarter for a shopping cart and they don’t provide bags but it’s well worth it because it keeps their prices very low.”
“The perfect place to get those ingredients only found at your country for that home dish you want to taste once more away from home.Staff is very friendly and helpful.They always help you in every possible way. Recommended.”
“I recently moved to the area and visited this Indian market for the first time, and I had a really great experience. Today they had a promotional stall featuring “Taste of Kerala” products, and everything I tried was amazing. The banana plantain chips were especially authentic and reminded me of home.
The store has a wide variety of fresh vegetables and fruits, which is really impressive. The customer service was also very friendly and welcoming.
I also loved the in-store café serving hot food. The mirchi pakora was delicious, and the rotisserie chicken with a desi flavor looked and smelled so tempting.
Overall, I really enjoyed my visit and will definitely be coming back!”
“This very nice store is just off Rt 12 and I-190. The store was clean and very well stocked. Inspite of there being a decent number of cars in the lot the store didn't look crowded. The pharmacist went above and beyond checking if they carried the health drink I was looking for but also if she could order it as they didn't have it. This store is better , more clearly, marked than my normal store on prices and sales.”
“I’m so happy this place opened up. With the gentrification happening in the city, I’m glad to see a corner store with real Brazilian products and food absolutely jam packed into a store. THIS is Worcester, and I feel home again in my city. Please give them business and keep them open!
Also, the best coxinhas I’ve had in years. 10/10”
“Here, folks do their jobs, they're on top of everything. Plenty of different items. If you need to grab a quick bite. They got a nice little station on the side where you can sit down and eat food is good and
A bunch of other little items they sell.I truly do like this location.”
“5 stars but please fix the Western Union machine! I will subtract one star for every week it is out of order. I get money orders for my job at [redacted], and I would much rather go here than the Walmart which is further from my office
Update: They fixed the Western Union machine after I posted this review.”
“We came to the plaza for harbor freight but, I couldn't help but come here as well with my gf. Definitely a gem but could be upgraded to be better but, worth the trip. I bought Lay's chips of two different varieties at $2.49 a piece which F.Y.E at the mall charges $9.99 for the same bags. Also Boba Mattcha tea in a can ready to drink which is a favorite.”
“Their pupusas are the best in town. You can even eat it without the salsa or salad that they give you. My favorite is Frijo con queso. Ps for the food you have to pay cash, everything else card. They do have an ATM inside. Parking can be a pain at times.”
“The household essentials section here is organized much better than at most nearby grocery stores. Cleaning products, paper goods, and everyday supplies are easy to locate, shelves stay stocked consistently, and the layout makes shopping much more convenient overall. We’ve started shopping here more often because routine household trips feel quicker and less frustrating.”
“Great food, great service. Owners are very helpful and I enjoy bumping I to the neighborhood street cat that pops into the store every now and then. They feed the cat so I'm all in ❤️”
“This classic Worcester store got a facelift. The layout has changed but I think it will be easy to find everything once I visit a few times. The bread is in the corner near the dairy and the baking aisle is past the frozen. There were lots of staff available to help me find things. The walls have murals (?) and they now use fancy tall vase like containers for end cap displays. The floral section seems bigger, and the door in the middle is now gone. The parking lot is long and hasn’t changed. I didn’t visit the bathrooms on this trip. And I left not finding the croutons. Right now everything is on sale; so many BOGOs. I will be back to take more advantage of the sales. I liked the large selection of Goya products.”

“I love the fresh produce. Well stocked all the time. Very good meat selection. Love their fresh specialty breads and fine cheese selection. Grateful for their seafood selection and free lobster steaming.”
“I find the concept of Hispanic "bodegas" on the northeast coast of the United States interesting. These stores resemble the pulperías or colmadones in the interior of the Dominican Republic. They are places where you can find everything you need and often something more. In addition, they stand out for the close and familiar treatment of those who serve, who call each customer who visits their establishment "cousin" or "cousin."
Eddie Super Plaza perfectly reflects this concept, offering not only products, but also a unique experience that combines warmth and community. For this reason, I consider it to be a true "five-star winery."”
“Not a bad little local market, they have a pretty wide selection of alcohol on top of basically being a convenience store on the other half. Pricing is pretty standard for a convenience store, but they are open late most days which is pretty nice.”
“there are several things that I want to talk about but mainly I will focus on the cleaning topic which is important this store is stunning
and the employees with such a nice warm welcome and great behavior doing their best to give us the great service once again as an Afghan I can find everything I want in this store I will recommend my friends to come and get everything at the low price then other places
i can’t wait for them to open the food truck
AFGHANI BURGER
