About Baqer Mohebi Supermarket
Baqer Mohebi (also written “Bakir” or “Al Baqer Mohebi”) is a homegrown UAE supermarket chain known for one thing above all: value. Unlike the big hypermarkets, Baqer Mohebi focuses on everyday groceries, household essentials, and — famously — branded chocolates and imported snacks at prices well below the malls. For a full hypermarket alternative, see our Nesto Hypermarket guide.
The chain’s official site is baqermohebi.com, and shoppers track its latest offers through digital catalogs. Regulars know two unwritten rules: check expiry dates on deep-discount items, and go on weekday mornings to beat the crowds.

What to Buy at Baqer Mohebi
- Chocolates: the #1 reason people come — branded and imported chocolates at some of the lowest prices in Dubai.

- Frozen food & promotions: constant promotion sections with genuinely good deals on frozen items.
- Imported & unique products: many items you won’t easily find in other supermarkets.
- Bakery: fresh items from their own ovens at the bigger branches, plus ready-made food.

Money-Saving Tips for Baqer Mohebi
- Check expiry dates on heavily discounted items — the 1-dirham aisle is near-expiry stock. Fine for immediate use, not for stocking up.
- Go on weekday mornings — evenings and weekends are packed, and the best deals get picked over.
- Buy in bulk during promotions, especially chocolates and frozen food.
- Follow the digital catalogs (e.g., on offer-tracking sites) to time your visit around new deals.
- Taste before you buy — some branches offer coffee tasting stations.
- Compare chocolate prices — regular branded chocolates are similarly priced everywhere; the real savings are on imports and promo items.
How to Reach the Rolla Branch
The flagship Rolla branch is the easiest to reach by public transport: take the Dubai Metro Green Line to Al Fahidi station, use Exit 2, and walk about 5 minutes down Rolla Street — the supermarket sits across from the mosque. See our Dubai Metro Map guide for routes. By car, head to Al Rolla Street in Al Raffa, Bur Dubai; customer parking is available but fills up in the evenings.
