Salam Meat & Grocers — Local services in Brampton

Hi All,

There’s no denying that this shop used to sell quality meat and chicken — but, to be honest, the standards have dropped drastically.

In the past month, I purchased ground beef that had nearly 50% fat, and to make matters worse, I even found pieces of shredded blue paper mixed in with the meat. I initially gave them the benefit of the doubt, assuming it was an isolated mistake. Unfortunately, that was a poor decision on my part.

I went back and bought mutton (lamb cubes), only to discover while cleaning it that the fat content was so excessive, I had to dig through it just to find actual meat. It felt like they’re displaying one thing and packing another — assuming customers won’t notice. That’s simply unacceptable.

It’s especially disheartening when the staff speak of honesty and faith, yet the practices don’t reflect those values. Extremely...

I used to shop here all the time but I didn’t like the way the men/owners were always talking to each other loud and inconsiderately that other people are in the store trying to shop so I stopped shopping there but today I went in after a very long time I just needed chicken cubes and I planned on not buying anything else from them to not give them business but ended up buying three other items.

I was beyond frustrated and left with the four items where the guy at the Front didn’t even bother saying hi, thank you or even give me a receipt. Apparently he’s a real estate agent. DONT BOTHER SHOPPING HERE! Plenty of other...

Not only they CHEAT on price, it is quite unorganized store. Specially towards the back tings are just dumped there rather than stacked. Most items do not have price labels or placed in front of wrong labels. I bought food items that area usually 911 range but they had it labelled as $12; as in COVID-19 days things are short in stock, I still bought 4x. Later when I checked receipt, I was actually charged $14 per item and ended up paying $2025 extra just for this. Couple of other items that didn't have prices marked, were way expensive than a usual price. Not shipping carts available and a very few baskets around the store. Will never...
