AAAA+ for shopping. Good and friendly employees and plenty of room to move around which makes the shopping experience much better.

Yes its come to this! Reviewing German giganto retailer, Adli. In these troubled times and all that. Yes we've taken Aldi to our hearts and wallets here in Ireland. We all know the score, its cheap (not always great). If you look around and dig deep you can get some good stuff, their fruit and veg is improving and lets no forget their Sunday specials, its Thursday for Lidl. Its cheap as chips and the Rathmines store is handy if a little small, has mostly groceries not like the bigger stores out in the burbs doesn't have 8 man tents and hi tech medical equipment. But still good for the weekly shop. read more

Aldi - Grocery Near Me - Dublin, D

I cant give it 0 stars, otherwise I would. No warranty claim process in place, been fobbed off by everyone I spoke with on the phone. I would not recommend buying anything from the middle isle in Aldi. If the item is faulty and its outside the return window you will not be able to avail of any warranty claims. I have been trying to get a mini air compressor fixed under warranty for the last 2 months, I have been given telephone numbers to ring and when I ring numbers are not in use. Avoid Aldi, not worth the hassle. read more

Looks like Aldi's getting some competition in the hood, as Lidl - the other super cheap German grocery store - is moving in directly across the street. Ouch! Bad news for Aldi, who has dominated the extremely inexpensive market in the Lower Rathmines area. Until now. The news of Lidl's arrival excites me, because I find their prices to be better than Aldi's for most things. However, Aldi wins when it comes to produce. The quality is a little bit better and the price cannot be beat. For basic stuff like potatoes, onions, apples, oranges, carrots and so on, Aldi beats Lidl. Special items like avocados, peaches and limes should be purchased elsewhere because they're not great quality and not cheap enough to warrant buying here. This particular location is a bit small but better than the one on Parnell St. by about a million times. read more

The first Aldi I'd ever visited, and my home-base store, not to mention the fact that I'm dating a German, give me a bit of a bias. Now, you have to know what to buy. BF does his research on the promising-looking specials; some of them are great great deals and some are nothing better than you'd find around the corner. One week they had really nice kitchen knives for €25 or so; another they had optical mice for the same price you'd find them at PC World. Sign yourself up for the mailing list online to learn about the deals in advance. Depending on the genre of deal and the neighbourhood, the stock can be sold out in minutes or it can take weeks. Go early to avoid disappointment! As this is a smallish Aldi, they sell out pretty quickly. Particular recommendations: apple and orange juices, not from concentrate and not in the fridge. They're cheap, they keep forever and they're leagues tastier than what you find in Centra. Award-winning vintage white cheddar cheese. Organic hot smoked salmon, a great value at 3.99 per pack! Or is it 3.49 these days? Corner yogurts that give Muller a run for their money. Sealed naans that keep for ages (though I think they just changed the brand and I don't like it as much) Free-range chicken breasts for cheap A chilli pepper assortment box kept with the fresh fruits Avocados at 2 for 99c Occasionally, the berries. But check those for expiration date... and mold. Like all Aldis, cash and laser/debit only. read more

Ok it's small, but it's big enough for my tastes! I go here some of my grocery shop. I've bought veg, fruit, cheese, bacon joint, butter, sugar, eggs, flour, dried herbs... god, I'm starting to bore myself ;) I also like the Lacura cosmetic range. I've bought the body lotion and the Q10 face creams. Both seem to work well and cheap as chips. Also the chocolate, the choceur brand is good value for chocolate bars. Nom nom. Re the weekly deals, these can be hit and miss. But some of the good deals I've got have been a HD camcorder for my Dad, who thinks it's just brilliant. Also I picked up a bunch of nest-boxes that were put up last Sunday. They appear good quality and fingers crossed they'll be home to a few birdies this summer! read more

The past few times I have been in Aldi its been quite strongly smelling of disinfectant, its really quite overpowering. Then the shop itself is smaller than the Lidl across the road so doesn't have as much stuff in it. I mean its cheap and I have been in good Aldi's but this one just depresses me a bit, so I think I will avoid it from now on. There is an Aldi opposite the lidl which I think is much better and to be honest if you are looking at both just go in the Lidl as its the same sort of thing, but doesn't smell and has more stuff in it. read more

This Aldi store in Rathmines is a little on the small and dingy side. I hate these places and the layout and how everything is still in their cardboard boxes with just the front side cut away or pulled away. Gosh it really irritates me and makes me just want to get in and out as fast as possible. However, on the plus side, the lack of any sort of shoppers comfort, display effort or frills in the shop makes for some decent prices on all their products. Check out how cheap the soya milk is here compared to other supermarkets, it is half price here! There have some display areas for weekly specials and there are some bargains to be had if you spend the time to look. But over all a horrible shopping experience for you but a great one for your wallet. read more

Rathmines road has plenty of grocery-shopping options but when it comes to my daily staples, Aldi is my absolute favourite. I'm actually glad to see that Lidl's opening across the street hasn't affected the queues. I know Aldi isn't perfect, it's small, it never has everything I need, lacks many of the finer imported goods but I know their aisles as the back of my hand and can always count on them being consistently cheap. You can stock up on all the basics and fill your cupboards and fridge with bread and milk, pasta and sauces, cleaning products, baking goods, snacks and frozen food and their veggies always look fresh. Also, check out the random selection of stuff on special offer just before you come to the register A few weeks ago, for example, my friend got a skiing outfit here. Dressed top to toe in Aldi clothes, he hit the slopes in the Alps for a week and stayed warm and dry the whole time, and the outfit only cost him like tenth of the price you'll pay in the fancy-brand shops. read more

My local shop, always has a nice big selection of fresh veggies and lots and lots of great offers and a nice GF section as well. Service is fast and that is what I am all about at 6.30 after a long week! read more

So, when I lived in France and Belgium I always thought that the range of products provided in Aldi was very limited and of poor quality but here I find great stuff that I've never found in Tesco and it's soo much cheaper. I love that they have a variety of cheese, smoked fish, bread, frozen veg and my favorite mint and chocolate ice cream for less than 2 euros. Seriously though, this place is awesome, I don't even know why I bother going elsewhere! read more

Some good stuff in their quality range, especial their excellent Irish Red Ale,(made by the people who make O'Hara's beers) at 4.70 for 4 bottles its the best deal for great beer in Dublin, haven't tried much of their food but the likes of toothpaste, toilet rolls, milk, and bread are great value read more

I've rounded it up from a 3.5. It's docked a0.75 points for being smaller than the store I would normall frequent on Parnell Street. That said, I can get the majority of my groceries for a reasonable price. From having little or no choice where we previously lived, we are saving a fortune now in Aldi (and Lidl, which I will come to again). Big thumbs up. read more

Well, I was looking for a page to complain. Not sure if this is the right one, but I would like to acctually get someone from MANAGERS in ALDI shop network to read what I want to say. Regardless that the shop is great in many ways, the service by shop assistants leaves me to desire way more. It doesnt look to me that any of the shop assistants are trained on rudimentary "customer service" skills. I am not happy AT ALL (and I believe many others feel same way) to hear shop assistants chit-chatting among themselves in their own language - that it completely out of line, qualified as "lack of ethics". And I am not Irish... just try to imagine how Irish must feel about it (lucky you, the Aldi Store Assistants in question - they are very nice and tolerant people). What made me to spend time writing this, was the last time shopping at ALDI in Santry Ave. It was Tuesday, 2nd of October, a bit after 16:00 hrs. A girl came over to open an additional till, and her colleague from next till became very excited and began chatting ... non stop!!! She even turned from her own place to face her friend, giving back to the customer who was packing his things. They spoke some language that I could not identify exactly (but I am sure that is a Slavic one, but not Polish). They were chatting non-stop... while an old lady with huge shopping cart passed, and I came over - a very indifferent "hello" and again HER PERSONAL TALK with her friend came on. All I could understand was "Christmas Party"... I did not get their names, however, I checked their name badges, and it said they were both "assistant managers"... wow!!!! - That is all I can say. If the assistant manager has practically "0" customer service skills, then what a bout the rest? Honestly, that was outragious. I have been working many years in customer service, and this kind of behavior is only acceptable to work in a store room or similar - NOT WITH CUSTOMERS! read more
