Bland convenience store with your usual mediocre quality groceries. The good thing about this store though is that they're open 24/7, even on Sunday night, and the ATM does not charge a fee. Yay! read more

Other than these bottom delights, Aldi is pretty crap. It is cheap and I went here in between gigs with bad roots to buy food. The pesto sauce here has an additive for every letter of the alphabet. You can buy cheap flowers here that look nice and not in the process of dying for 2-3 pound. The flowers look as good as Waitrose but for half the price. I don't hate Aldi as much as Sainsbury's. This store is usually not filled with kids. A definite plus and if I really want to make a good impression, I'll get Flowers and Loo Roll. Aww.
Yes, I am a fan of Aldi--It is ridiculously cheap and it is supermarket quality! I mean were…read moretalking most fresh fruits and veggies under 1pound! e.g. 50p bags of oranges, 50p pineapples, 25p cucumbers--yea, they are pretty much giving it away! They carry most brand names as well--quaker, cadbury, ribena, etc.. As far as the store itself--it isn't the biggest place, and it doesn't carry everything but as far as the value--you can definitely stretch your pound here! Some drawbacks are alot of the choices of fresh fruit and veggies are gone by mid-afternoon, they don't always have the same selections, and you have to purchase your bags. You honestly can't beat the value, if you live nearby--this place is an absolute steal!

They are free rolling in their crate and cheap as chips. This store sells European speciality products and has a meat section (unfortunately for my sensitive eyes out back). There is a small selection at the bottom of the fridge of cheese in brine and olives. There is also a decent selection of packaged cheeses. The only thing this store is missing is coffee cream that doesn't have all the crap in it. This is not uncommon in a small store but I bought the girlfriend Elmea here tonight and she hit the roof :). Oh well.

Quite a few times you are looking for something and it's just not there. A few staff really smell, you can be stood at the checkout with your eyes watering! How nobody says anything to them or allows them on the shop floor is beyond me. The fresh aisles are annoying and I spend half my time going back in myself for something. There is very limited selection of supermarket in Finchley Central, so you just have to "suck it up", however, you can't help but feel they know this so don't really care......
This store has a lot of really good European products like Halloumi cheese, flat pitta bread,…read moreolives, and Mediterranen deserts. Comparitively, to other stores in the area it is quite expensive. They do some fruit out front as well, but the fruit doesn't seem to be as fresh as it should be and I once bought carrots from here that were soft. On the plus side, this store does many good phonecards like America First Diamond Edition and EuroCity. I like the staff in this shop and they always are polite and friendly. North Finchley has good selection of wine and a few beers but I'm more into their juice selection, which has my fav peach in the carton. I like to come here when I need Hummus and I'm in North Finchley.

I can't remember the exact time, to be honest. While I was doing my shopping, carrying a heavy bag for protection, a very large man not only brushed past me but nearly knocked me over as if he were a moving vehicle. Thankfully, I'm physically strong, but if it had been a child, a woman, or an elderly person, he could have caused serious harm. Tesco staff are usually friendly and helpful, and I've always appreciated the store for its quality products and affordable prices. Unfortunately, some customers behave in a completely uncivilised way. I understand that people can act unpredictably at times, but basic civility should be a given especially in 2025. I kindly suggest that Tesco consider installing more security cameras and increasing supervision to help prevent incidents like this in the future. 30/07/2025 Thank you. F.

I weirdly found this Tesco a really entertaining way to kill a 40 minutes when stuck in Seven Sisters one evening. What I found brillo: 1. They have a nice selection of home wear and electronics - woo hoo when did Kenwood food processors get so cheap? 2. They stock lots of ugly clothes from F&F and you can waste at least 10 minutes looking through the sale items and agonising whether to buy weird furry jumpers. 3. Best of all is the super dooper giant world food section. It's a cornucopia of global produce, flowing with exotic foods from around the world. Often food from this section are strangely cheaper than buying the comparable product from a different area in store. For example coconut milk is way cheaper here than a few aisles down. You can get your Caribbean, your Indian, your Turkish, your Kosher or Polish on to name just a few of the many cuisines that they stock. We very much enjoyed the Polish chocolate snack section. I can heartily recommend the Alibi bar - an awesome coconut, wafer and caramel chocolate medley. I can only presume it is named Alibi because it is so delicious you might not be able to resist stealing it. Therefore needing an alibi. But I did pay for it honest, for an import it wasn't even that much £. In true Tesco tradition, the place does seem a bit ugly and depressive, and the staff weren't very friendly. All the served checkouts were closed so they push you towards the evil self service checkouts of doom - but despite all that, the amazing stock makes up for it and I wouldn't mind if they had one of these in my area (well if it didn't kill all the personality out of my local area that is).

The convenience section is pretty good, with hot chicken waiting to be munched for lunch as well as an impressive salad bar and sandwich selection. The convenience section pales in comparison to the immense selections of day to day and speciality goods Sainsbury's stock. Living in the city doesn't have to mean eating packaged meals, you can get everything you need here to make a sensational fresh, healthy meal. The only drawback is that this branch of Sainsbury's gets very busy. There really is nothing like listening to kids screaming, waiting for the old biddy who's in your way to choose the cheapest tuna, then for some lout to ram a trolley into your achilles heel. Fabulous! This aside, this is a great supermarket.

What was meant to be a 10-20 minute visit, lasted almost an hour. The store is huge, the layout is well spaced out and labelled. Even though the aisles are long, the categories are clearly marked and you can choose which aisles to walk along and which to skip. The range of products is amazing. Plenty of options for "exotic" foods - Indian masalas, ramens, Korean spice pastes etc. I finally found Fanta lemon that I've been searching for since I got introduced to it 2 months ago in Toledo (I actually thought it may not be available in the U.K.) Love this store, it's much larger & roomier than any other Sainsbury I've been to in London.

The check-out queues often dominate the store and curiously they never seem to 'man' (or woman) all the check-outs. It's usually good-humoured here though and you can often strike-up a friendly conversation with fellow 'queuees'. Staff are usually pretty pleasant too and don't seem too stressed by their workload. As it's not a huge branch you might not find all your favourite products here and stock is not replenished as often as it could be. Still, it's a handy store and has its merits.
