What this shop is

Dilliwala Global Foods Almirante Reis is a supermarket on Avenida Almirante Reis in Intendente, the stretch of Lisbon served by Intendente station. It trades as a branch of the Dilliwala name rather than a one-off corner shop, and what sets this address apart is the samosa counter drawing repeat recommendations from visitors.

Samosas are the item reviewers consistently describe as exceptional, with several noting them among the best they have encountered. That is the single strongest signal about the shelves here, and it is worth planning a visit around rather than treating as an afterthought.

Sweets form another part of the offer, and the feedback there is more mixed: some visitors flag high sugar content. If you are buying for someone with a sweet tooth, that is worth knowing before you fill a bag.

Staff interactions have also drawn criticism from some visitors, who describe them as unhelpful. The samosas remain the reason most people write about this shop, but the counter service is part of the experience.

Spending here sits in the everyday range, with a typical basket running €10–30, which keeps a samosa run or a small grocery stop affordable alongside a wider Intendente errand.

Who is this for

This shop suits a traveler based in or passing through Intendente who wants samosas reviewers rate among the best they have found and does not need a full weekly shop to justify the stop. It also works for someone putting together a small basket in the €10–30 range who is willing to take the sweets and counter service as they come.

If you need a broader everyday grocery shop rather than a samosa run, Lidl in Intendente opens from 8 am to 9:30 pm daily, which covers an early errand or a late basket.

The verdict

Dilliwala Global Foods Almirante Reis is a samosa stop rather than a full grocery destination, and some visitors find the sweets heavy on sugar and staff interactions unhelpful, but it still suits anyone in Intendente who wants those samosas and a small basket without crossing town.
