The Fruits and Vegetable market is about 10 minutes from the exit near Persia (Manama Street) Instead of taking Emirates road exits, keep going straight on Manama Street so you "fly over" Emirates Road and take a right to go to Union Co-op or Vegetable market. Went there today. Union Co-op has nice Lebanese/ Irani style food and even biryani at their rotisserie. Also saw Baskin Robbins in Union Co-Op.

As adviced by Glen, the grocery store is in D4 opposite the textile city sheds, near morroco. Also opening is an Italian Pizza and Pasta shop in D4.

No Laundry yet, but judging by demand I may open one lol!
