Prahran Convenience: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Lovely staff and excellent products. My boyfriend doesn't eat meat so this is his Disney land. I love that they have a huge range of harraw lip balms :)
Negative experience: Second time I’ve come to get loco love and it’s not open. Ridiculous put a sign saying closed and update your website.
Negative experience: Remove the 24/7 signs and place staffed hours accurately. The 24/7 uniqueness and novelty of the store is no longer.
Negative experience: They are fraud like they don't open for 24/7.i hate that kind of service.i searched online and go there after driving 14 minutes and the store is closed at 1:45.f...... very bad service
Positive experience: Lots of variety + vegan snacks but patchy price tag presence.
Fantastic experience: Great store, with a great range! So many vegan and health products!
Negative experience: It's not open 24h. The lights were on, but the doors were locked for a long time with no notes. Didn't answer the phone either. People were coming & going trying to get in.
Positive experience: This place used to be so good I’d travel from an hour away. It’s gone down hill so bad. It’s never had prices on products which is annoying, but now every time I go all the products I pick up are out of date. It’s convenient for it to be open 24/7 but they really need to lift their game.
Negative experience: Awesome store, but an estimated time of return would be helpful. What does soon mean? 5 min, 1hr, tomorrow? How am I supposed to know if I should wait?!... not very convenient... I waited 30 min and watched many disappointed people come and go.
Fantastic experience: Hidden glory. Has absolutely everything delicious and niche health food
Fantastic experience: A vegan’s heaven and the first ever dog friendly grocer in the area that I know of! A hidden gem.
Fantastic experience: Great selection of products, very friendly, good prices. Being open 24 hours makes them very accessible for my work/school schedule, whenever I need to pick up some protein bars for a snack.
Negative experience: Visited the store 12th June, young Indian guy follows you around the store and stands right beside you staring at you the whole time, very uncomfortable experience, might need to wear a suit otherwise you’ll be mistaken for a thief, great selection of supplements but not worth the very uncomfortable experience. There’s plenty of other stores where you don’t get treated like a thief, maybe should install cameras.
Positive experience: Great stuff. Less than 20% has a price tag on them. You never know how much they'll overcharge you...
Fantastic experience: Amazing variety.
Positive experience: Claims to be open 24 hours, not actually open 24 hours.
Fantastic experience: Should be renamed to "Prahran Organic Convenience & Supplements Store. Huge variety of organic food and #biohacking Supplements. I've been coming here for years. The owner is very helpful and genuine. Prices are very reasonable and usually he will accommodate requests for new products.
Fantastic experience: I went in there for the first time today. Amazing store with wide range of vitamins, supplements, keto and vegan products. Found everything I looked for and more. Didn't have much time to explore this time, but I will definitely be back.
Thks for your feedback we will see you soon in future
Fantastic experience: This place has always been a hidden gem for health/vegan/keto foods that are cheaper than most other stockists. They have an especially good chilled/frozen range. They are also an excellent Indian grocery store, have a good range of specialty Mexican food items, have an interesting selection of hot sauces and imported chocolate bars and drinks. Plus an aisle of sustainable beauty and cleaning products. The recent refit has made the shop much easier to navigate around. It can be a bit annoying that most items don't have prices marked, but the staff are nice and don't mind scanning for you to check
Fantastic experience: Prahran Convenience is nice place with an extended choice of various products from supplements to ingredients with competitive cost on certain items. Recommended !
Thank you means a lot to us and Thks for your support
Negative experience: This store is riddled with products past their best before date and the store knowingly sells it. When confronted they couldn’t care less!
Sorry you had that experience
Fantastic experience: So many amazing products!
Fantastic experience: Love this place. Great selection of health foods at reasonable prices. Service is always friendly too.
Thks for your support
Negative experience: Yeah great range BUT beware of their exorbitant prices. Nothing on the shelves is priced so you get to the counter and you’re hit with a massive bill. EDIT: Why not just be honest with your customers and follow the consumer laws by putting prices against your products!? As a business it’s your responsibility to show prices. Poorly run business. Beware of use by/best before dates too.
Hi pristine, Thks for your feedback but you don’t have to take it if you not happy with the price. Happy to do a refund for the items you not satisfied with the price.
Fantastic experience: I love this place! That store is an unexpected surprise. I walked in that tiny messy store with barely space to walk, which is kind of its charm. Went there to find a specific sauce that I couldn't find elsewhere and did I not expect to find a myriad of stuff that you can only find online these days. From health food related, keto, wellness, organic food/cleaning products/cosmetic, bio to junk food from all around the world and their tea selection is huge! Unfortunately the prices are not shown on most of their products.
Thks for believing in us
Positive experience: Store is very nice with loads of stuff and variety from Indian to mexican etc.. had there been price labels I would have shopped more.. in few cases they need to have better prices as same product is cheaper in woolworths or coles etc..
Thks
Positive experience: Don't get me wrong, nice guys and them being open 24 hours made it easy to do them early, but the store is overstocked. Made it hard to walk through and put stock down.
We have rectified and I am sure you will be surprised now
Fantastic experience: Good variety of Colombian products
Positive experience: Unique brands that you will struggle to find anywhere else!
Fantastic experience: Staff are always lovely. So so so much variety of basically everything to choose from. Have spent hours in this place.
Fantastic experience: Very welcoming store and the boys beat the price on all products
Thks a lot
Negative experience: Great range of products and was happy that they stock Prana chai and Love tea but not displaying the product prices on the shelf is a tacky way of running a business. The employee needs a crash course on customer service. No smile/greeting. No knowledge of products. Seemed disinterested. Just a reminder - A smile goes a long way.
Fantastic experience: Amazing service, friendly staff. Ram was fabulous!
Positive experience: Really kickass range of products, clearly a lot of love and research has gone into the ranges stocked. However there are no prices on anything at all in the store, it makes it really stressful to shop there, not knowing how much items are/how much the total will be. Add prices (like literally every other grocery store in the country) and you're a 5 star joint!
Fantastic experience: Who would've thought what one could find in a convenience store!? Lot of surprises, including an Indian section, and many organic products I didn't see elsewhere. Highly recommended!
Thank you for your comment we will try to get more organic product and help customers like you and many more
Fantastic experience: Love this store.. Somany hard to find vegan products. I also found a can of Rich Energy here.. I literally didn't even think they were real, F1 Fans will know what I mean.
Fantastic experience: I love this place! Its my go to for anything health food related, keto, wellness and their tea selection is huge! The prices are the best I've found and the staff are always helpful.
Fantastic experience: The best! Open 24 hours and have everything you'd need for cooking anything Spanish/Mexican/South American, and of course a huge Indian range. So good!!
Negative experience: I normally don’t post reviews but decided to leave one to help fellow shoppers. I agree that the store has a wide range of exotic food but please make it a point to check the best before date on every single product before purchase. I dropped by to return a product which showed a best before of Nov 2020. I politely told the older gentleman at the counter that this has happened a few times and instead of apologising he said best before does not mean the food cannot be consumed and that he cannot check the best before date for every single product in his store. Shocking!
It was said we do make sure we check every section and amount of products that we carry sometimes some products get missed we are just a small business trying to best with the resources we have.
Positive experience: We generally go to Prahran Convenience for Indian grocery shopping. We get almost everything. The downside is that the store is very messy with things scattered here and there without being properly organised. Also, none of the items have prices written for them which is a bad practice in my opinion.
Positive experience: You would get 5 stars if you could only have prices on the shelf . Vincents dose it, Aunt Maggie dose it , all your competitors do it . Please I'm asking politely!!
Positive experience: I love you guys, but you had a worker with a mask around his chin, and a shopper with no mask at all. Be better.
The guy working would have been eating or having a coffee and some customers are exempt from wearing a mask so we have to respect that.
Positive experience: Bit messy place but am amaze with the products range they got. I wish the price are mentioned on each product which is not the case, often it’s surprising you take it to counter and surprise yourself by the price of the product
Fantastic experience: Great range of Vegan products, very friendly owner. Highly recommend!
Negative experience: They intentionally don't list any prices on anything. That's more frustrating than it sounds. Really inconvenient and inconsiderate for customers. Not even sure it's legal. Real shame too as that store is unique in the incredible range of vegan items it stocks.
Fantastic experience: This is the best place for all sorts of vegan products at a great price. The owner is incredibly kind too!!
Fantastic experience: The MOST amazing store ever! It’s filled to the brime with delicious and healthy alternatives, it’s been doing the healthy movement for years and the prices are much much better than anywhere else!
Fantastic experience: Best shop in the whole Melbourne with unbeatable prices, with wide range of stock. Friendly staff and best customer service by staff.
Fantastic experience: Good shop
Fantastic experience:
Positive experience: This is like a secret treasure trove - it is crammed full of vegan, imported lines, gluten free, dairy free, Mexican, protein powders, supplements, paleo, shampoos - almost everything! It’s packed to the brim, so takes a bit a navigating, and not everything is priced, but I’ve found that the prices are generally lower than most other places and they have items that I’ve only been able to get online previously, like powdered peanut butter. They have also got the Pixi line of beauty products, that I haven’t seen elsewhere. The guys running it are friendly and it’s open basically all the time.
Fantastic experience: One of the greatest specialty food stores in Melbourne. The range is extensive, the prices are cheap and best of all, the staff are not pretentious. A humble store with amazing products.
Thank u dean look forward to see you shopping with us again
Fantastic experience: Fantastic place. Yes products are everywhere, yes the customer service isn't amazing, but who cares. It has a huge selection of specialty and hard to get products and I couldn't recommend it more.
Negative experience: This is by far the worse convenient store I have ever visited. Poor customer service and goods are randomly placed everywhere on the floor, nearly tripped over and twisted my ankle... Beware when visiting!
Negative experience: Possibly the worst service I have ever received at a convenience store. Don't bring your children here.
Fantastic experience: Best health food store ever! A hidden gem thats for sure
Fantastic experience: Huge range of health/organic products and among the lowest prices in Melbourne! 24/7 too which is amazing!!
Fantastic experience: Tons of health foods! Great staff!
Positive experience: Good varieties and competitive price but store is congested.
Fantastic experience: Nice people, greatcstock and provisions
Negative experience: no variety
Positive experience: If you want great customer service, clearly priced products, and a tidy store, then this isn't the place for you... But if you're after niche vegan food at competitive prices (with the added bonus of being open 24/7), then look no further. Yes it's frustrating that nothing is labelled and that the aisles are overflowing with product (it's easy to feel overwhelmed and claustrophobic in this store), but Prahran Convenience seriously has an amazing range and you won't find better prices anywhere else in Melbourne (similar $$$ as Smith & Deli, better than the Cruelty Shop). Most things aren't labelled, but get a receipt and you will see that you aren't getting ripped off.
Positive experience: It’s an adventure - You never know what you’ll find in here! As an American I like to stop by every month or so to see what treats they have in stock. It’s SO random and admittedly super messy but I can’t say this bothers me in the slightest. It is pricey but it sure beats driving out to USA Foods in Morrabin or buying bulk from CostCo. I can almost always find a good salsa, a random candy, and Cheetos which are really the only thing I need in life.
Negative experience: These guys are working it from all angles. Selling health food stock to the drugged up revelers, fair enough. But not putting prices on the products is taking it to a another level. He doesn't give S#it. He's working it.
Fantastic experience: Very helpful with exactly what you're needing. A specific vitamin, supplement medication, sweets, water, even transactions they're helpful all day, night long. Friendly staff too.
Positive experience: Amazing range of products. Fair prices. But the customer service is horrible. There is a man with greyish hair who can't be bothered getting off the phone to interact with his customers. And even when he is not calling someone he seems awfully annoyed by having to do his job. Products also rarely have price tags so you often have to talk to the grumpy guy.
Fantastic experience: Thank you for all the vegan options!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Negative experience: Worst customer service ever...i asked the person on the counter that why u dont have price on ur products or shelf... he say me roughly that if u had to work here thn u will understand... the person name was mac and said his brother owns the shop... he wear glasses and have moustache... i am going to report about the unfair trade... u cant pick every item and go to the counter for the price...i will report to AUSTRALIAN COMPETITION & CONSUMER COMMISSION..
Negative experience: guy is a prick
Fantastic experience: Seriously one the biggest range of vegan and other health foods including sports supplements i have seen that is open 24/7 , doesn't look much from the street but one you are inside i was blown away with the volume of health stock! Impressed
Positive experience: Perfect place to get Indian food or imported healthy food. プラーン コンビニエンス インドの食料品がメインのお店。他にも健康志向の輸入品や雑貨を取り揃えていて、珍しい物が見つかるお店。インド系の商品は安いもののそれ以外は若干高めかも。
Positive experience: Fantastic range of niche and imported foods including heaps of Vegan stuff and good prices but unfortunately price labelling is sparse. Ask the staff to (price) check your items and you will get a fantastic haul
Fantastic experience: Really great prices on some specialty items that are either over priced elsewhere or simply not available, especially items from the US
Fantastic experience: From the outside you would not expect this place to have SO MUCH. Tons of vegan products, huge variety of snacks. Favourite convenience store
Fantastic experience: If you're avegan in the area, this is a destination you need to know. Huge range of products, always something new.
Fantastic experience: Love this place, heaps of Vegan options :) friendy staff, and always great prices.
Fantastic experience: What an unexpected treasure trove! I could spend hours in here!
Fantastic experience: Such a great range, so cheap
