First, yes, they do have fresh camel milk! It's sourced from a nearby farm.
Second, all of these recent negative reviews are really a shame. Perhaps some of the cashiers are different, but the person we met was an absolute gentleman. Extremely friendly and helpful, like family. And the store was busy at that time too.

I treated myself to fresh made pita, hummus and pickled vegetables.
The man working was kind enough to answer my questions about their food and share a cup of sage & black tea with me.
I don't travel down to this area as much as I did before, however I am definitely going to go out...
