   Shalimar Mini Mart in Wellington is one of those rare small stores that completely exceeds expectations. The shop itself is clean, tidy, and surprisingly well stocked with a wide range of items, from everyday essentials to unique snacks and specialty products you wouldn’t expect to find in a local mart. Everything is easy to find, the shelves are neat and well presented, and the prices are fair without that “extra convenience markup” that other small stores sometimes charge. It’s the kind of place where you can pop in quickly, but you also end up browsing because the selection is genuinely interesting and varied. What really makes this mini mart shine, though, is the man who runs it. From the moment I walked through the door he greeted me warmly and made me feel welcome, and that friendliness never felt forced. He chatted, answered my questions with patience, and even gave thoughtful recommendations on products he thought I might enjoy. It’s rare to see customer service done with such genuine care, especially when he was running the entire store by himself. Despite being the only one there, he kept everything running smoothly without ever rushing or cutting corners. Checkout was quick, but he still made time to connect, and I left not just with my shopping but with a much better mood than when I walked in - he also gave me free candy, what a g The atmosphere he creates really sets this place apart from other stores. There’s an authentic sense of hospitality, like you’re a valued customer rather than just another person coming through. That combination of a spotless, well laid out shop, fair pricing, and his exceptional level of service makes Shalimar Mini Mart more than just convenient. It’s a store you’ll actually look forward to visiting again. I would highly recommend it to anyone in Wellington looking for a local mart that delivers five star service and a genuinely positive experience. (don’t listen to those saying the food is expired - haters will be haters) - photo includes a snack I got from there… not expired!

   AMAZING shop manager is super nice(and sexy), love all the food in there, he did try and grab my hand and take me in the back tho, but it's ok, I'm not mad about it, asked for a photo because I was handsome.

   Sold me fruit bursts 8 months expired, hurt my jaw trying to eat. Not a good experience. He’s a good man though. Do recommend you check the expiration date before you purchase anything from here

   Nice convenience store round the block, with somewhat extended hours. The store is very well stocked and the prices are regular to what you would get in a smaller more remote grocery store. They have it all from fresh produce, to frozen food, canned food, soft drinks, Icr Cream, grocery items, over the counter medicine, as well as other daily use household items.

   Lad at the counter kept shouting “Rosie Parker” at me because he thought I looked like that British terf. Day of the trans rights rally. Didn’t want to get beat up by activists so I left without buying anything. Super awkward and gross

   A first rate shopping experience. I needed to pick up some chocolate and I saw a Spanish candy the precise colours of the transgender flag. Unfortunately I had exactly 9.03 dollars left in my account so sadly put it back on the shelf. The lady in charge and her assistant charged me aprox. 0.7cents less so I could take home my prize. Allies of the highest order. #gay #queer #transgender
