Mumbai's famous supermarket, Food Square is among India's most expensive gourmet destinations. Here's everything you need to know about the claims of Ambanis shopping their groceries from here.
Food Square is one of India's most expensive and famous gourmet destinations for the elite and super-rich. In 2023, Food Square replaced Foodhall to become the new guard in gourmet retailing in Mumbai. According to Food Square's official website, it occupies the famous 25,000-plus square feet of retail space on Mumbai's Linking Road. The Santacruz property is a four-storeyed building that needs no further introduction.
Since its launch back in 2023, there have been a series of videos on YouTube with multiple eye-catching titles like Spending Rs. 10,000 in a celebrity shopping mall. This is the most expensive store in India, Luxury grocery shopping at Mumbai's Most Expensive Store, and the list goes on.

In the first week of August 2024, Hamza Khan took to his Instagram handle and uploaded a video in which he talked about Mumbai's iconic supermarket, Food Square. The content creator's video opened with the best hook, "Kya aapko pata hain Ambanis ka ration kaha se aata hain". The mention of India's richest person, Mukesh Ambani's family was enough to set the video on fire, as people are always eager to know about the much-loved family.

In the video, Hamza Khan can be seen walking inside the Food Square and showcasing what the elite supermarket looks like to his viewers. From revealing the cost of multiple products to sharing information about some premium stuff available at Food Square, Hamza was blown away by the prices. Another reason that the products here are super expensive at Mumbai's Food Square is that most products are imported. Not only this, but the super-premium quality of the groceries rightly justifies the jaw-dropping price tags. Hamza Khan captioned the video with a one-liner, "Ambanis ka ration bhi yaha se aata hain," and it is enough to take his IG reel to places.
Within a span of just six days, Hamza's video went viral on Instagram and has recorded more than 9.6 million views on it so far. Talking about Hamza's claim that Ambanis and many Bollywood celebrities purchase their groceries from Food Square, there's no official source to his claim, and it is nothing more than a mere assumption due to the fact that it is Mumbai's most expensive supermarket.
However, multiple reports have spotted several television actors and models shopping at Food Square for groceries and other essentials. However, it is still too early to claim that Ambanis shops from here.

According to the official website of Food Square, Mayank Gupta and Lalit Jhawar are behind Mumbai's most expensive supermarket. Mayank and Lalit are alumni of prestigious institutions, IIT Bombay and Kingston University, respesctively.
For the uninitiated, Mayank and Lalit's Food Square has replaced its predecessor, Foodhall, quite successfully due to their decision-making ability. The duo cracked the deal at the right time, and Food Square's monthly earnings are around Rs. 3 crore. With its growing success and potential, several investors are coming forward with their lucrative offers to take it to the next level.

Another interesting thing about Mumbai's Food Square is that the commercial property on which Food Square is running belongs to Bollywood superstar, Salman Khan. Yes! You read it right. According to Business of Food, Salman Khan owns the mammoth Santacruz property and charges a monthly rental of Rs. 1 crore from Lalit and Mayank. Apart from renting out the space to the young entrepreneurs, Salman is also reportedly an investor in Food Square. Bollywood's Bhaijaan purchased this property in 2012 at a staggering price of Rs. 120 crores.
It's fair to say that Salman Khan is quite good in terms of investing, as his massive 25,000 square-foot property is located on Mumbai's Linking Road, which connects Bandra and Santacruz, two of Mumbai's poshest areas. Talking about Salman's deal with Future Group, owner of Foodhall, the actor leased out his property to the conglomerate back in July 2017. The superstar charged Rs. 90 lakhs as a monthly rental. Well, now that Foodhall is in the past and Food Square is dominating the headlines, Salman's hefty investment continues to generate heavy returns.
