“Product is good but aisles are too narrow so you always have to wait for somebody to pass until you can go forward. Always crowded too unless you go middle of the day on a weekday.”
“Helpful staff at this TJs location and always well-staffed at the checkouts, so even when there is a line it moves quickly. Free underground parking and a bike rack inside the parking garage (to the right of the entrance).”
“Best Halal grocery in Northern Virginia for now. Lots of products, good quality and friendly customer service. First time shopping with them & I’m really happy with İt.
I really recommend shopping with them & I will Definitely shop again with them.
They have a good innovation in Halal shops, if we buy large quantities they will deliver to home.
I am so grateful and I'll be loyal customer.
Highly Recommend !

“What a great experience! Super friendly and helpful staff. Don't see it, ask for it and they'll quickly help you find it.

“No complaints... Aldi is the no-frills, minimum investment for highest yield grocery store
A lot of random, one shipment only finds...
Housewares include pots, pans, silverware, glassware, mugs, coffee station supplies, bakeware and baking supplies
Also gardening tools and supplies... seriously!
They have indoor and outdoor furniture and even plants, flowers, herbs in pots and bouquet flowers!
They have greeting cards for holidays and special events
U can almost always find organization gadgets and items
They have some supplies for vehicles
They have pet toys, gadgets and supplies
This truly is 1 of the most random store I've seen! All stores don't have same inventory; some have larger selections
BUT a lot of stuff is low quality soooo choose wisely!
But it's best 2 shop within first week or so, when items come in season because employees say they can't order additional inventory
AND their systems are so antiquated that data isn't accurate... systems may show amount in stock but store may be sold out!
☆☆☆ READ FOOD LABELS ☆☆☆ A LOT of items have genetically modified ingredients! Also bio-engineered ingredients!!!”
“Fairway Supermarket in Woodbridge is an absolute hidden gem! This small, locally owned family grocery store offers an incredible variety of products from across the Indian subcontinent (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives). All at fantastic prices.
The people who run this store are so wonderfully kind, helpful, and personable. Every visit feels warm and welcoming. Thank you for the incredible Pakistani mango - one of the sweetest, freshest mangos I’ve ever tasted! This truly is a lovely family, and it shows in the way they treat their customers.
The selection here is amazing and so unique:
- Healthy, natural dried foods and snacks:
I always find something new, and there are staple items I can only get here. They have several aisles of fun, interesting, and wholesome snack products that you just don’t see at chain grocery stores.
- Huge spice section:
So many unique spices, available in large bags for excellent prices.
- Vegan and allergy-friendly options:
Plenty to choose from, which I really appreciate.
- Essential oils, beauty supplies, and even beautiful scarves:
Small touches that make browsing fun.
- Frozen dinners and snacks:
Including some items I can’t find anywhere else.
- Fresh butcher in the back:
Lamb and goat at incredible prices, perfect for authentic cooking. I believe they have other types of meat, including fish, as well.
- Fresh produce:
Small but thoughtful selection of fruits and veggies, plus fresh dates and baked sweets.
Much, if not most, of their products appear to be halal, which is really helpful for those who need it.
And while they specialize in subcontinental products, they also carry universal basics, so you can pick up everyday items at the same time.
Every trip to Fairway feels like traveling to another country. I make it a point to try something new every time I go.
This store is such a gift to the community. Let’s support this wonderful family and keep this beautiful local market thriving.”
“A lot of selections of dishes every Sat. Great food. Fun and friendly place. Owner is very nice and helpful. She has connections, so she can make some calls and, mostly, get what you want in a matter of day. I wish they had dishes more than just Sat. Go early, thought, these dishes go fast. They have good food vendors / cooks. No worries if you buy a lot of stuff, they will help carry to your car.”
“It’s a Trader Joe’s so it’s wonderful. I am particularly impressed today by their customer service, which never disappoints. A gentleman named Jesse helped us and delivered stellar customer service.”
“This is always a wonderful place to shop. It offers a taste of the Middle East and beyond. I love the bulk section with a wide variety of raisins, unique nuts, seeds and sweets. The food bar is hard to resist with its fresh salad, veggies and meats. I highly recommend visiting over and over and over again.”
“It’s a smaller store but you can get almost everything you want! It’s funny, they have a huge selection of wine and beer proportional to the size of the store. Pizza is great, dessert awesome, not a fan of the extremely expensive price per pound on hot food bar.”
“The team provided Excellent service, provided answers to questions about products. They went the extra mile to retrieve out of season items that I needed. Friendly and customer focused. I've been to the store on three or four occasions and had the same warm and friendly experience. Thank you House2Home!”
“Yegna Ethiopian Market & Carryout is an absolute gem! The customer service was warm and welcoming from the moment I walked in. Prices are very fair compared to other spots, and the food and products are authentic and high quality. Highly recommend!”
“We stopped in this past week and thoroughly enjoyed everything! The staff were very attentive and made us feel very welcome. We had the beef shawarma, chicken shawarma, gyro, hummus and a chicken kebab dinner and everything was fantastic! This place will definitely be visited again and again. Very happy!”
“All I’m gonna say is this place is dangerous…lol.
So many options in all departments…it’s crazy!
Hands down my favorite grocery stores in town!”
“This hmart is great. A good selection of produce that's very fresh, the frozen foods section has the tteokbokki I like, and they have an assortment of different meat and seafood options.”

“This supermarket stands out from other international markets. It’s got a food court, a cosmetics store, and the lighting is very fashionable. Most importantly, it doesn’t smell at all! Everything is well organized too. Must visit!”
“We have shopped here for years. A pillar of this urban area like many Whole Foods that opened 15-20 years ago. HOWEVER I am very, very disappointed they are closing the bar area. Apparently this is a national trend and reflects the almighty pursuit of $ / sq ft. I don't doubt you can eke out a little more $ with more inventory but it won't be from me and my family. There will be less impromptu trips from us over there and I'll be going to Wegmans more often”
“Actually an eastern European & Balkan & Turkey store, not just some russians pretending to be Europeans. Smallish, but you can find some pretty interesting stuff here and broaden your horizons a bit.”

“Nicest grocery store in Northern Virginia with an amazing variety, all beautifully displayed. However, the underground parking is very dimly lighted and congested. Getting to and away from the store is also a bit of a pain unless one lives within walking distance.”
“Spacious and clean atmosphere. Good selection on most major grocery brands and priced below othe major grocery stores in the area. Surprisingly good produce selection.”
“This is one of my favorite grocery shopping experiences. I absolutely love the fresh veggies and fruits. One of the most diverse places for beef, chicken and fish. Lots of choices for tea and international cookies and desserts. I love this store.”
“This place is awesome!!! Paula is an absolute encyclopedia of nutritional info on vitamins and supplements!!!! I'll return to this MOMs specifically for Paula's advice!!! ??”
“Good variety of African products and well priced. Service was good too. No long lines. Not too much unnecessary chatting, in and out.The parking lot is hard to maneuver, lots of other shops, lots of cars. Tight spaces”
“They always have what I need! Great customer service, always helpful and knowledgeable of the products! I've been going here for years and I don't plan on changing! Love this store!”
“Large commissary, newer, clean, Organized, great offerings, great prices, large produce section and bakery section. Plenty of meat from beef, pork, chicken. Store is identical to a full scale civilian grocery store in size, offerings, products available and number of check out lines and self checkout options. Returns are always easy if any issues, customer service is always pleasant and excellent. Oftentimes the management or supervisors are attentive and notice if a line develops to offer or open more self check out kiosks if they are able too depending on end of day counts and reports for each.”
