TAM-KY — Local services in Marseille

I just went to buy Asian products from Tam Ky Marseille on today (26.02.2024 / 12.15H-12.25H) when finished what I want to buy, I take a queue for paying but my debit card has problems card is refuse, a cashier staff or maybe owner or shareholder of the shop start to yelling to me he throw a payment card machine at front of me and continue yelling like “card refused” I said that please wait a few minutes I am checking my card because I just paid for other things before to arrive here and card working normally. so I speak English because my French is not well and I’m learning French but I understand almost in French. But that’s not reason to impolite to Clients who can’t speak well in French. So I said “attend 10 minutes, Je prendrai de espèces au ATM et je reviendrai » So, I run out to go to ATM machine take cash and come back to paid all. once I back for payment he didn’t say anything, no Thank you , no sorry to yelling or sorry to make embarrassing me to other clients in that’s moment. I saw the shop had a camera can you check for proof how your service going on. it’s not my first time to buy Asian products from here but it’s for sure that’s will be the last time and I will never come here anymore VERY IMPOLITE...

Great place to find Indian and Asian groceries. Locnam is also the similar shop. You can find things in either of these two shops. Specifically Indian wheat flour, fresh green n red chilli, ghee, 5-10kg packs of good quality rice, etc.. here you will find all the groceries cheaper compared to superU/Lidl,etc.. e.g. vegetable instant noodle is for 0,40€ in tamky but 0,80€ in super U or more. U can also ask to the owner if you want any specific items and she will try to get it in future. There are still some items which are unavailable if we compare it with Paris but seriously I was delighted to find at least some basic stuff. Otherwise would have to order online but groceries are expensive online, takes time, have to order above 50€ or will have to give big...

I have been going to this market regularly since 2018. It has been my go-to store for ingredients in Korean and Indian dishes, and I have also enjoyed sampling new-to-me products there. The staff are a lot of fun ! I highly recommend at least stopping by even if you're only visiting Marseille, they have really cute hats with their logo on them. This store is truly one of the biggest highlights of my time in Marseille. Thanks...
