Choithrams Dubai: Complete List of Branches, Locations, Opening Hours & Contact Numbers

Last Updated on September 5, 2026 by Shitiz Srivastava

Choithrams has been part of Dubai’s shopping routine for decades, with dozens of stores tucked into residential towers, community malls and business districts across the city.

Choithrams was started by Thakurdas Choithram Pagarani and is a family-owned business which is now overlooked by his son, Lekhu Thakurdas Pagarani.

It was first founded in 1943 in Freetown, Sierra Leone.

It is one of the biggest supermarket chains in the UAE. It has a wide distribution network with large supermarket stores and overseas daily useful things for consumers.

It has also started its digital inventory by providing online shopping and delivery through its website and mobile apps.

Whether you have just moved into a new building and want to know if there’s a 24-hour supermarket nearby, or you’re trying to track down a specific branch’s phone number, this guide pulls together everything you need in one place.

When you are new in the UAE, this guide will be extremely helpful to you to figure out where to find Choithrams and buy your daily groceries.

Choithrams Dubai – Quick Overview

Choithrams is one of the UAE’s oldest retail names, operating more than 20 supermarket branches across Dubai alone, alongside a wider network in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Al Ain and Ras Al Khaimah.

In Dubai, the chain is best known for its dense footprint of neighbourhood stores many open 24 hours a day located inside or next to residential towers in areas such as Dubai Marina, Business Bay, Downtown Dubai, JVC and Al Barsha.

Alongside walk-in shopping, Choithrams also runs its own delivery app and website, making it one of the more convenient grocery options for residents who don’t want to drive to a large hypermarket.

Because branch hours, phone numbers and even locations can change as leases end or new towers open, treat the details below as a strong starting point and confirm anything time-sensitive (especially phone numbers) through the Choithrams app or website before you make a special trip.

Since all this information is subject to change with time and with a change in the place of the supermarket, the numbers are also subject to change. There will be constant change in today’s digital world. We will, on our side, keep updating the article, but on your side, do not take this guide as a benchmark for all. The information related to Choithrams, you can do your own research as well.

Choithrams Branches in Dubai

Choithrams branches in Dubai basically fall into two broad categories.

One is flagship, 24-hour community stores in high-density residential areas, and smaller, limited-hours branches tucked inside specific towers or malls. And the other is a digital one.

This list isn’t exhaustive. Choithrams also operates smaller express-format stores inside Rove hotels (Rove Healthcare City, Rove City Centre Deira, Rove Trade Centre, Rove Dubai Marina) and other residential clusters like The Lakes, Jumeirah Islands and The Wings.

For the full, always-current list, the official Choithrams store finder lets you search by area or postcode.

Choithrams Business Bay

Business Bay residents are well covered, with Choithrams branches near Marasi Drive, Bay Avenue and Bay Square. These stores mainly serve the tower blocks along the Dubai Canal and are geared toward quick, everyday shopping, think ready meals, fresh produce and household essentials rather than large bulk purchases.

Most Business Bay branches run 24 hours, which suits the area’s mix of residents and late-working professionals.

Choithrams Dubai Marina

The Dubai Marina branch sits on the ground floor of the D.E.C. Towers along Marina Promenade, with a second location near Trident Grand Mall.

Both are popular with Marina residents doing a quick top-up shop between walks along the promenade.

The D.E.C. Towers branch operates 24 hours (+971 4 454 2810), making it one of the more reliable late-night options in the area.

Choithrams Downtown Dubai

Downtown Dubai has two well-known Choithrams locations.

One along Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard, close to the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall precinct, and another inside RP Heights.

Both are aimed at the dense residential population around Downtown and typically run 24 hours, which is useful given how much foot traffic the area sees at night, especially around the Dubai Fountain shows.

Choithrams Deira

Deira, one of Dubai’s oldest and busiest districts, hosts several Choithrams stores, including the long-running Dubai Tower branch on Al Rigga (D89) and a Rove City Centre Deira location. The Dubai Tower branch (+971 4 223 2488) runs 24 hours and is a go-to for residents and shift workers in the area given Deira’s dense mix of apartments and hotels.

Choithrams Jumeirah

In Jumeirah, the branch located opposite Safa Park along the Al Wasl Road corridor (+971 4 394 3852) is the most frequently searched, and it runs 24 hours. Residents further along the coast toward Umm Suqeim have a separate branch (Umm Suqeim 2) that keeps slightly shorter hours, from around 5:00 AM to midnight. Jumeirah’s villa communities also fall within delivery range of nearby branches if there isn’t a store within walking distance.

Choithrams DIFC

The Dubai International Financial Centre branch, located in Gate Village 4 behind the Dubai World Trade Centre, keeps limited hours compared to most other Choithrams stores — typically 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM (+971 4 352 1146). This makes sense given DIFC’s office-hours-driven footfall rather than round-the-clock residential demand. It’s a convenient stop for lunch essentials or last-minute meeting supplies if you work in the district.

Choithrams JVC

Jumeirah Village Circle’s Choithrams branch, located in Manhattan Towers, runs 24 hours (+971 4 514 8005) and serves one of Dubai’s fastest-growing residential communities. Given how spread out JVC is, this branch tends to double as the default grocery stop for several surrounding clusters until more retail opens up in the area.

Choithrams Palm Jumeirah

Palm Jumeirah has at least two Choithrams locations along The Shoreline strip — one in Azure Residences and another in the Al Das building — both operating from roughly 7:00 AM to midnight. These serve the Shoreline Apartments community directly, and are typically the closest full grocery option for residents who don’t want to drive out to the mainland.

Choithrams Al Barsha

The Al Barsha branch (+971 4 547 4409) runs 24 hours and serves one of Dubai’s larger, more established residential neighbourhoods. Its central location — close to Mall of the Emirates and several major roads — also makes it a practical stop for people passing through the area rather than just local residents.

Choithrams Silicon Oasis

Dubai Silicon Oasis is served by a 24-hour Choithrams branch (+971 4 326 1347), reflecting the area’s growing residential population inside the free zone. As one of the more self-contained communities in Dubai, having a round-the-clock supermarket option matters more here than in areas with easier access to alternatives nearby.

Choithrams Opening Hours

There’s no single, universal opening time for Choithrams in Dubai — hours depend heavily on the branch format:

• 24-hour branches: Most of Choithrams’ larger residential-community stores (Marina, Business Bay, Downtown, JVC, Al Barsha, Silicon Oasis, Deira, Al Rais, The Greens, Sobha Hartland, Layan) operate around the clock.
• Limited-hour branches: Office-district or lower-footfall locations like DIFC (7:00 AM–10:00 PM) and some Palm Jumeirah, Umm Suqeim and Al Karama stores close overnight, generally somewhere between 10:00 PM and midnight, reopening between 5:00 AM and 7:00 AM.
• Online ordering: The Choithrams website and delivery app operate on their own customer service hours (see below), separate from individual store hours.

Because hours can shift — particularly around Ramadan, public holidays or when a branch relocates — it’s worth a quick call to the specific store, or a check on the store finder, before heading out late at night.

Choithrams Contact Number

For general enquiries, order issues or feedback, Choithrams’ central customer care line is +971 4 368 4026, with support available Monday to Sunday, 7:30 AM to 10:30 PM. You can also reach the team by email at support@choithrams.com.

For anything specific to a particular store, checking whether an item is in stock, confirming today’s hours, or asking about a delivery from that branch, it’s usually faster to call the branch directly using the numbers listed in the branch table above, since customer care handles broader, company-wide queries rather than individual store stock.

Does Choithrams Deliver in Dubai?

Yes. Choithrams delivers across Dubai (and Abu Dhabi) through its own website and mobile app, covering the same wide catalogue you’d find in-store — groceries, fresh produce, household items, and health and beauty products. Delivery slots and minimum order values can vary by area and by how busy a given time slot is, so it’s worth checking the app for the most accurate delivery window before you order. Choithrams products are also available through third-party delivery platforms such as Talabat in parts of Dubai, which can be a useful backup if the native app’s delivery slots are full.

How to Order Groceries From Choithrams Online

Ordering from Choithrams online is straightforward:

1. Download the app or visit the website — the “Choithrams Grocery Delivery” app is available on the App Store and Google Play, or you can shop directly at choithrams.com.
2. Create an account — sign up with your phone number and delivery address so the platform can show you accurate stock and delivery slots for your area.
3. Browse the catalogue — categories mirror what you’d find in-store, from fresh produce and bakery to packaged groceries, household essentials, and health and beauty items.
4. Add items and choose a delivery slot — available time windows depend on your location and how close you are to a servicing branch.
5. Checkout and pay — card payment and cash on delivery are typically both supported, though this can vary by area.

If you’d rather not create a dedicated account, checking whether Choithrams is listed on an aggregator app like Talabat for your building is a quick alternative, though selection and pricing may differ slightly from the native app.

Choithrams vs Carrefour vs Spinneys

These three chains cover very different shopping needs in Dubai, and picking between them usually comes down to what you’re shopping for and how far you’re willing to travel:

	Choithrams	Carrefour	Spinneys
Store format	Small-to-mid neighbourhood supermarkets, often inside residential towers	Large hypermarkets and mid-size supermarkets, usually in malls	Mid-size supermarkets, often in premium residential and community areas
Best for	Quick, convenient, round-the-clock top-up shopping	Bulk buying, wider selection, better value on packaged goods	Imported and premium products, fresh produce, higher-end brands
Hours	Many branches open 24 hours	Generally mall hours (roughly 10:00 AM–midnight)	Typically 8:00 AM–midnight, some locations 24 hours
Pricing	Mid-range, convenience premium on some items	Generally the most competitive on bulk and packaged goods	Higher average basket price, reflecting premium positioning
Delivery	Own app/website, plus aggregators in some areas	Own app plus major aggregators (Talabat, Instashop, Deliveroo in places)	Own app (Spinneys Food) plus aggregators

In practice, many Dubai residents use all three depending on the occasion: Choithrams for a 2 AM emergency milk run, Carrefour for the monthly big shop, and Spinneys when they want specific imported brands or higher-quality fresh produce. None of the three is strictly “better” — it depends on what’s actually around the corner from where you live.
