Hala walla,

Which, in your opinion, is awesomest?

al-Othaim
Panda
Carrefour
Tamimi
LuLu

I prefer Panda.

You haven't included Lulu, which I think is the most awesome :)

I edited it, thanks Alliecat :)
I dunno, there's just something neat about going to a store called "Panda"

Even BETTER:  hyper panda!  So it's highly excited, too :lol:

There are also:
1- Al Danoube Market in Hayah Mall in Mursalaat off king Abdulaziz road, and in Takhassusi St intersection with TaHliah St.

2- EuroMarche at Takhassusi St intersection with Uruba St.

I like the both of them, but I think Hyper Panda is best considering its moderate prices, but my personal best is Danoube!

Ever been to Lulu, Amin?

No, unfortunately! I've heard it is cool. I think I should give it a try!

Have you been to Euromarche or Danoube, Allie?

Yep, been to both (Euromarche frequently--good veggies, my favorite bread in the whole Kingdom but, except for chicken, bad meat; ie. local).  As for Danube, I think they have a really good 'deli' and prepared food section.

BUT.. Lulu is superior to both (except for Euromarche's German bread!).

It's matter of personal choice and many other factors like parking facilities, cashier's cordialness etc.

My favorite are:

1- Danube, Hayat Mall [Though parking there give me creeps]
2- Tamimi
3- EuroMarche

Well, yes .. this isn't a scientific survey lol 

More about Lulu:  incredible hot foods for take-away;  wonderful selection of American brands (Butterball!!!!); and, excellent quality meats from Aus., NZ and USA! 

You gotta get over there, Amin!

Hyperpanda and Lulu....due to ease of access, near my place.

When I go to Danube of Hayah Mall I park on the other side of the road so I avoid the traffic when getting out.

I must give it a try then, and I will let you know what I think.

As for Euromarche's German bread, I'll try the next time I go there.

Thanks for sharing!

How rude of me to have left our Carrefour.  Its only one of the world's largest retail chains.

Lulu suits my Indian palate best.

However, I liked the ambiance at Danube better.

Have not yet checked out Carrefour.
