This store need to be investigated and shut down. I go here only because of the convenience and they know this about a lot of customers around here and a lot of customers are immigrants so they will not complain about anything or any business. They overcharge and they are nasty. NO ONE SPEAKS ENGLISH NO ONE KNOW WERE ANYTHING IS AT BECAUSE THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND. They’re even teaching their new employees how to be nasty to the customers just recently I saw a person of color and an Indian person working in their first time for that. I’ve been living here for three going on for years they must’ve got reported on that part but they need to be reported on price gouging expired food, and when the food is about to expire, they put it on special they sell, expired meats like it’s so disgusting and management is disgusting right along with their employees. I’ve reported them to BBB and immigration also to the labor board and I’m looking for other places to report them because they price gouging example I go in any other supermarket big stores, ShopRite, Stop & Shop, whatever And I buy tea any quality laxative regular weight loss whatever and I use my EBT card why I go in here and I can’t use my EBT to buy tea they want cash that’s illegal so I’m reporting them to everybody that I can report them to. Just because this is the predominant immigration area they are taking advantage, and enough is enough. You see in the picture they say T/M labeling it as medicine, no one ever in any of the other supermarket ever have it down as a medicine. It’s Tea
I was followed around the store the watched up front during check out by 3 different people accosted by a man that spoke no. English, all the while, an elderly couple in front of me preceeded to steal food. I think I won't be going back.
Fresh meats and mostly well stocked small/medium food store. However, have to take off points for their deli/hot food section. They tend to be prejudice towards black customers. After speaking with a few other customers, we've seen slights, and hatefulness thrown our way. Especially if you are a U.S. born ethnic customer. I've contacted management on this behavior, and they need to address it - not in just sorry's and nice words. DO something about it. People don't want to be treated a certain way coming into the country, then don't try to shade at people who are from this country.
I had a great experience shopping at Farmbria Supermarket. They have a variety of Caribbean products and the prices are reasonable. Have a bless day everyone 🙏 Today is Sunday August 20, 2023 at 2:40pm
Great place to pick up fresh fruits and vegetables. Good quality produce, price is competitive as well.
Excellent place, good prices and amazing selection of goods
I wish there were more FB around. This place got everything! I love it so much! Produce is fresh and their sourdough bread is delicious! Hope you guys expand!
Disgusting service charged me for items but didn’t give my half items I ordered from thrm through Uber eats .
Didn’t even call or fixed the receipt instead of giving shrimp salad , tuna salad, crab salad they gave one macaroni salad .

Went here today. There was grey meat in the meat section. I got raspberries and kimchi. When I got home I realized the Kimchi was expired as of July 18 and the raspberries were totally moldy. So disappointed. I live in NJ and am not able to go back to return.
One of the best supermarkets in the area. It specializes in carribean foods. So many items thats not available in many of the other supermarkets, and I've been to most. I'm Jamaican and I felt at home here. The variety is amazing. From sugar cane, breadfruit, and soursap, the list goes on. The meat is fresh and so is the produce. The prices are reasonable. The lines tend to be longer but they move quickly.
3 stars because they are open 24hrs my first time here I spent 70 bucks pretty expensive some items way overpriced I came about 5 in the morning no one watched me down to the very end I had my little daughter at least I tried it out it was really big more then enough stuff cashier was pleasant hopefully the fruits I purchased are good I’ll be back again
They sold me old and stinky chicken TWICE! 🤢
Huge selection of items including meat seafood and dairy products but the prices are a bit expensive comparing other stores.
Amazing store. They have most everything you could want, in virtually every department, and most major world cuisines are represented. Their fish department stands out as particularly impressive(they offer fish cleaning/fileting of a wide variety of whole fish that are on display and are visibly super fresh).
The organic produce selection could be substantially improved.

This supermarket has a huge selection of items. The layout is a bit strange but after a few visits, it's relatively easy to find what you're looking for. My biggest and pretty much only issue with shopping here are the prices. They're very expensive for such a large store.
Ordered on Uber, scam practice fish & bait...On website ice cream and milk and stuff on sale, for example says strawberry $3.50, actually charged me $7.50, on website ice cream on sale $5.99, charged $7.99...I bought a bunch stuff and end up paying extra 25$ dollars than what was asked for! Plus hidden fees from Uber.......scam scam scam...pleaseee if the product is not on sale..then dont lie abt it. I may just buy one product, instead buying 3 at one time!!!
Today, a racist old man and his wife bought some food and came to my checkout counter. He said he was buying the food for his wife's travel to Israel. I asked if these were kosher. He said contemptuously that he was Arab, and then started laughing. Then, he said he was Jewish. His attitude toward Kosher was clearly different from the Jewish shoppers I had met. Obviously, he was neither Jewish nor Muslim, he was just a pathetic racist. Whether he's trying to promote anti-Semitism or anti-Islam, discrimination shouldn't be allowed here. That's why I said clearly to him," I am not racist, and you are the same to me whether you believe in Judaism or Islam." This man was also recording people randomly in the store without their permission. This shows the kind of mentality these racists have. Such people are a disgrace to equality, liberty, and democracy.
Pope Francis once said, "It is not fair to equate Islam with violence. It is unfair and untrue." Food Bazaar welcomes and respects shoppers from varied backgrounds, including, but are not limited to, race, national origin, ethnicity, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, and socioeconomic status.

Not as crowded as past visits. Parking lot is more organized and clean. Aisles have less boxes, making them more accessible. Short lines. Faster checkout.
The manager, Brian, at the Douglaston store is rude and unprofessional. I was interested in knowing when concord grapes would become available in the produce section for purchase. I asked one of the cashiers to speak to a manager. Maria, who appeared to be managing the cashiers, made attempts to get Brian who was in the office to speak with me. I ended up waiting for about 10 minutes for his assistance, as he instead, kept sending others out to talk to me. Those of whom did not speak much English and I had trouble understanding and communicating with. Brian, himself, never appeared. I find that rude and unprofessional. A "manager" who has no consideration, concern, or respect customers, is not fit for the position.
Make early morning runs to this Caribbean-Asian grocery. The parking lot was recently done over, so there are slightly better parking options. Fruits and vegetables are fresh. Management is innovating constantly to make visit quick and seamless. Staff is friendly and knowledgeble.
I love shopping at farmbria. Unfortunately for me and maybe not for others they are mixing meat in meat packages, I’m guessing for a higher price maybe it was an accident but I’m watching you guys… I’m not the sort of customer to eating different sorts of meat… keep doing a great job!
Today a situation happened with my wife and a store employee, in the vegetable area from 8:40 to 9 am, my wife went to look for tomatoes, she got to where the tomato was and saw that it was a little damaged, A store employee made a comment to my wife, if she wanted fresh tomato, she answered yes and thanked her, but the employee began to harass her telling her to invite him to eat, what she was going to cook, my wife replied that she was married ,, to keep her distance, the guy replied that it didn't matter if she was married, my wife felt really harassed by the employee ,, he quickly went to the area where I was. When I looked at her, she seemed scared but she didn't say anything to me, until we were far from the store, I think these people should have more respect.
This supermarket is filthy and rundown. It looks like it is rarely every cleaned. It is also incredibly dusty and grimy to the point that if you smell your hands after touching a shopping cart or anything in the store, they reek badly. The place is poorly stocked and the produce, meat, canned goods, and baked goods it has are almost always rotten and expired or very near to being rotten or expired. As a vegan, the vegan options in this store are pathetically limited. Even Target and Walmart have more vegan options in the way of vegan cheeses, ice creams, mockmeats, and other plant based alternatives for essential grocery items. The prices are outrageous. A head of cauliflower goes for $9.99 and a box of cereal goes for $8.99. This is a third world supermarket that charges Vivienne Westwood and Fendi prices. I will never, ever shop at this horrible supermarket ever again. As a non driver, I’d rather take a bus and train to Whole Foods in Manhattan because Farmbria is more expensive than them while being the 8th world version of them. Everything at Farmbria is just poverty and sadness and the workers are incredibly rude.
Over crowded and ridiculously over priced. I remember during the pandemic I went to buy milk and a half gallon was $11.50 ( no kidding)
I asked what was going on and the manager said " we only have a few "
What's the old saying,( to many chiefs and not enough Indians ?)
Supervisor's and the manager are incredibly rude.
I used to frequent that supermarket before it was sold.
It's very uncomfortable walking down the aisle due to overcrowded groceries in boxes. They eventually lower the prices when items are nearing expiration.
It does appear to be cleaned throughout the day.
I stay away from the deli because I've seen the lead cook not using gloves 90% of the time.
Although, I had purchased baked ziti from the deli once and when I arrived home and sat down to eat. I spit it into the garbage. It tasted like vinegar. The cheese was rancid.
I drive elsewhere for my groceries and save a substantial amount.
If you can, find an alternate Supermarket where you are not getting price gouged.

this place is good but becareful cause some food and fruits and veg be expired
This store is absolutely massive and has excellent selections. The meat and seafood departments are probably the best in the neighborhood. We love getting great cuts of beef and pork here, and it's the only place I trust for thin sliced rib eye. Friendly and helpful staff!
This review is for the sandwiches only and not the actual supermarket. The sandwiches at this supermarket are as good as they get in NYC. Not only are the sandwiches well-made and delicious but they are affordable. All sandwiches are made fresh right before you.
Prices are better than keyfood but the checking line are long.
NICOLE is very nice and helpful team member as a Cashier!!!
Overpriced low value store! Buyers be aware! Always watch the screen when they’re ringing up your items. This is my second incident with them and they won’t honor their prices. The first time they had the whip Philadelphia whip crème cheese 2 for 9. They argued me down until they finally said oh you’re right. Yesterday I made a purchase for these nuggets where it clearly says 5.99 when I returned home 20 mins away and reviewing my receipt I realized I was charged 10.99 for this. Mind you target sells the same thing for 7.69. I returned back today to do a price adjustment even showing them the same price tag in the store and they refused to. The cashier then turned to two Spanish girls who’s seem to be hanging out one in all black with a tight ponytail another with burgundy hair. They told her my item was wrong and just refund her. Where is the customer service? This place has always been distasteful. Food Bazaar you made a terrible mistake franchising with them. Good luck!
There is some good and bad. I had stopped going here when it was called Farmbria due to the extremely long checkout lines and because the security would occasionally follow me around the store. With the new management, the store seems much more clean and organized. They have even added one of those modernized screens that tells you which cashier is ready à la Whole Foods. The produce section is well maintained which I primarily go there for. There are new hours allowing you to shop until 10:30p which is great for me to avoid the long lines.
Now the bad. The prices are exorbitant! I don't even see prices this high in Manhattan. I can't imagine shopping for a large family here. Probably the biggest negative: the neighborhood is over 90% Black (just looked it up) and I haven't seen one Black person working there other than the security. What happened to all the people that were there when it was called Farmbria? The store has some potential but I probably will only go here as a backup plan.
EDIT: After a few weeks came back for some of their fresh cut fruit which had a weird taste. Still no people from the community working there. I pass.

Food bazaar is a dairy/frozen store with ...a full-service fish market within most of our stores and a custom cutting meat department..
I always buy in this supermarket and I have never had a problem except the last two times three weeks ago I asked butcher who was there to please clean and cut the meat he told me that he couldn't and that there was no one I look for another guy who was nearby and he did it. Today i went for the same thing there's a worker and he told the other to do it but he reluctantly took the meat package and when I looked at it he changed his attitude, i don't know why i had a bad feeling i was going to leave it there. when I get home i see that the meat is decomposing pieces of the meat are black and starting to smell bad. $40 thrown away
My local supermarket and gas huge selection of just about everything from American to Chinese to Korean items. Each department is well stocked and super organized. This Food Bazaar has a huge parking lot and it’s easily accessible right off the Long Island Expressway.
It’s no doubt one of the better supermarket in the Bayside, Little neck, Douglaston area however prices a tad higher than others nearby keeping it from 5 stars

Love that quality of the meats there is very good and fresh vegetables. Prices are good in this crazy economy
This place is the pits I am a trucker I have a 53 ft trailer full of me the trailer is not refrigerated I'm sitting here for over 2 hours and they are not taking their goods off the truck the meat supposed to be temperature regulated at least 34 degrees it is 52° out here and the meat is still on the truck they need to be reported to the USDA
Don’t buy any meat! It’s always spoiled. They never exchange or return money without receipt. Even if it has their logo on it. It’s disgusting I bought veil and the date of expiration was still not due and it smells like the meat was beyond rotten. Horrible service!! It’s a zero. Not even a one star. Never going there again. Horrible customer service with Jenny the “shift manager” who swears she has a big tittle. She should be fired for her disgusting behavior and attitude. Their loss not mine. Will be shopping else where.
The prices here are great. They have fantastic sale prices on vegan food and produce. They had many cashiers available to help speed the line along. The selection on vegan food here is amazing. The produce is certainly very fresh. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
Good sales but mostly the sidewalk in front of the supermarket usually stinks with water that’s in the sidewalk. There are people that probably work there that just hang outside the store. Sometimes inside is good and others there are things in the way. Now with Covid, sometimes it gets full.
Food Bazaar Supermarkets wasn't our priority to do groceries shopping before COVID-19 but we visited a couple of times recently since their price has been stable and the supply was enough. One of the best things was there’s no line to enter from our experience.
The safety procedure of sanitizing and social distancing especially during checking out was great, so we shopped without any concern. The staff was friendly and willing to help.
The product lineup was well organized and clean. There was no empty shelf and we could find the majority of items on our list. The meat and seafood looked fresh and in good quality, but we didn’t have a chance to try them yet.

I absolutely LOVE this store. We actually started shopping at a new store closer to where we live but it just didn't compare to Food Bazaar.
My only complaint (and it's a VERY recent one) is that two weeks in a row, we bought chicken and some in the package were good and some weren't. I don't know what's up with that, but we're going to start buying organic chicken again and see if the same problem happens.
Other than that, like I said, it's a really great supermarket.
