I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Sainsbury's at Berryden, Aberdeen. Today, I…read morebought an Indian meal that was on sale as it was expiring today. When I got home and opened it, the rice had an absolutely foul, rotten smell, it was clearly already spoiled. I then had to go through the hassle of driving all the way back to the store just to return it, wasting my time and fuel for something that should never have happened in the first place. Although they refunded the spoiled meal, I was shocked that they made me pay the difference for the replacement. Selling food that's expiring today and already gone bad is unacceptable and the way this was handled was completely unfair. I've been shopping at Sainsbury's for years and always trusted their standards, but after this experience, they have certainly lost a loyal and valuable customer.
This a superstore, nay, megastore in Aberdeen! This store sells more than groceries, but also…read morehomewares and clothing. There is also a cafe inside for hot food and drinks. Prices as usual, reasonable. The store layout is easy to navigate and is clean and well stocked. Service is decent, but at a peak time there were nowhere near enough staff at the registers resulting in long queues which was quite annoying.

A large Farmfoods store located on the street behind Bon Accord shopping centre…read more There are so many bargains to be had here, and its amazing how much money you can save compared to other supermarkets. Most of the food is frozen food, tins or packets. There is no fresh fruit or veg. There are always offers on, such as 5 cans of juice for £1, 2 tins of soup for £1 etc. You can end up buying so much stuff! I never find this shop to be very busy and have never had to wait long in a queue to buy my goods. This is a great shop for stocking up your cupboards at a good price.

The store is well laid out in sections of fish, ready meals, chicken, vegetables, pies and pizzas and frozen deserts. Their jars of sauce and dried goods are also really good value. The only downside of the store is that the checkouts are pretty low-tech and it can take a while if you pay by card.

What an EXTRAORDINARILY badly managed store! We called in for "one to two" things which turned into…read morea small trolley full, as these visits often do... On approaching the staffed checkouts (we prefer a human being to doing it ourselves) we saw significant queues and no signs of movement, and two tills were closing (this was around 5.20pm). A manager (?) assured us that there would be staff coming to the checkouts "in two minutes". I'm glad we didn't take him at his word, because the 20 minutes we were there we didn't see any (even after the "queue-buster call went out at 5.30pm). The poor woman working at our till was totally overwhelmed with her workload (and she was a middle-aged lady), while younger staff were seen leisurely wandering around the self service and self-scanned areas - surely some kind of staffing malfunction? We often shop at Aldi (Beach Boulevard) Lidl (Torry) and Tesco (Torry) all within 1-2 miles of this Asda and ALL of those stores have efficient staffing, effective management, and priority service for customers wishing to use staffed tills. We now rarely shop in Asda, we used to be regular shoppers in Glasgow and Cumbernauld, but our experience of Asda - especially as they are heavily pushing the self-service to the real detriment of the one-to-one customer experience has not only put us off, but I'm sure will put many many more customers off. Asda it's EASY; 1. convert some of the profits to secure good staff 2. increase your staffing 3. serve your customers. Because if you continue to push staffed checkouts down your list of priorities then we will not return. And we are not alone.

What i hate about this shop is lack of space and when it comes to paying you can be stood there for a good half an hour.

But it can get quite pretty noisy when the shopping centre gets busy, as this place is just below elevators. It used to be an open space, which in the colder days was just nightmarish, but now it's surrounded by the glass. In general it's ok place, they do have some good snacks/baking and the coffee tastes more like coffee than from the Starbucks to me. The stuff is always friendly and fast. It is just the busy location that takes the star down. And another star down because 5* for me deserve only WOW places
Wonderful butcher in an accessible area of town…read more Paul Smith is open on a Saturday which is great if you work during the week. There is plenty of parking at the back. Inside you are welcomed by a small shop and butcher counter and lots of fresh veg outside. The staff are always friendly (even if you turn up 2 minutes before they close because you have forgotten the bacon for Sunday breakfast!) The shop sells local produce, Kelly of Cults breads and cakes and other veggies, chutneys and produce from the area. The butcher counter sells good meat and the staff will advise you on the best cuts or ways to cook the meat you are buying. This is a lovely local butcher and worth a visit.

If you are looking for something of high quality or just something extra-ordinary that you won't find in the shops, this is your place. I have visited here for my lunch on many occasions. THey always have a takeaway menu with usually a 2 or 3 of sandwiches or paninis (one veg). Salad boxes, quiches and a soup. I think the owner and some (if not all) of the staff are French. Therefore the food menu reflects this. My fave sandwich is a pate (pheasant I think), with onion marmalade and green salad hoagie. I have also had the most amazing beef panini a couple of times from here too. The prices are excellent for the quality of ingredients. The food is made up fresh just before lunch, try it!!

We were greeted by the Italian owner and I felt a bit guilty as he asked a couple who had finished their meal if they were ready to leave in order to seat us. The owner - who in his authentic accent corrected our poor attempts at Italian while ordering - was friendly and took our starters order first. Garlic bread, bruschetta, melon with Italian ham, and Caprese salad were all good - the girls especially loved the garlic bread. The wine by the glass he told us was San Genovese and was As the restaurant name tells you, the main course is pasta - he had many specials in addition to the regular menu items. We each had a plate of penne pasta with a different topping. The Marinara had clams and prawns, my Rustica had eggplant and anchovies, my wife's Alfredo was cream based with ham delight, and the girls had simple pastas with fresh Italian sausage. The owners son, was the cook and he did a nice job in his closet sized kitchen we could see from our table. The desserts were also good, lemoncello, cannelloni, and a chocolate ice cream with hazel nuts that was excellent. Give this little restaurant a try when you are looking for a nice plate of pasta in a friendly - but small - place.

The reason for buying whisky from Nick, the owner, is Nick. Nick Sullivan is a people person. Yes,…read morehe has, he likes to say, about a 1000 different whiskys to choose from in his storefront. But this is a place one visits in an area where it is quite easy to be overwhelmed by choice. Nick is knowledgable, and he will spend time educating you so you can make an informed decision. And shops like Nick's often are the fortunate recipients of whisky vendors supplying him with exceptional ,hard to find (for a visitor to Aberdeen that is) whisky. Yes, he is in business to make a profit; however, when a man like Nick tells you, "this is the whisky my girlfreind and I were drinlking Christmas Day", you listen. And then buy. For it's not the price (super reasonable) but the fact that you feel you can trust his word. It's not only the age of the whisky, but all the other details that go into making a sublime malt drink ever more so. Thank you Nick. If you live nearby, I can't recommend Nick enough. If you are just visiting, like myself, it;s worth the time to drop in and say hi. For those looking for price as the main consideration, you can shop all you want. But you'll be missing the best reason to stop in at Nick's store: Nick himself. A true Aberdeen treasure.
This is, as far as I know, the only independent whisky shop in Aberdeen…read more It's a small shop, filled to the brim with enticing looking whisky. Nick, the owner, is a knowledgeable guy, and normally has a half dozen or so bottles open for you to taste, with dedicated tastings on Saturdays. He also stocks a variety of other spirits, which look pretty impressive. There's something at every price point, from entry level bottles all the way up to rarities costing several hundred pounds. Things can be sourced if not in the shop, as I understand it. Price-wise, an independent shop can't hope to beat the big supermarkets when they put a bottle of scotch on offer, but it certainly compares favourably to un-reduced bottles. A few minutes in here will really broaden your horizons, and you'll probably leave with a new bottle of something a bit esoteric. Cheers!
