Firstly, the stitched dress that we got in the end was just not the design that we had ordered. This is the problem that one usually faces at common darzis as well. The same happened here. Although at the time of booking, one of the ladies there sat down and drew sketches in a book and it seemed that they were clearly understanding the design desired by us. Additionally, we left with them a magazine which had the pictures of the design that we were looking forward to.(They had misplaced that magazine even and kept giving us future dates when we could possibly have it back).

Then, even that botched up dress was not easy to get back from them. It took over a month to finally have it delivered. Be clear about this: there is no sense of keeping the schedules there. They keep giving you new tentative dates when you can get your clothes back. And there is no responsible person that you can talk to there. The main baji is almost always absent. Even if you try to call her, she just does not pick up the phone. In her absence, you are at the mercy of a junior baji in whose absence there is a usual Master Sahib to handle things. And even if he is not there, there is a guy who has been told by them that he is the manager. He is there but whatever you ask him, he manages to tell you that he does not know, only baji can tell this whenever she comes back. Which she never does

When you go there and take a look around the place, you would easily notice haphazardly dumped bags containing pending, yet-to-be-finished work lying all over. That would give you a fair idea about what level of accuracy and timeliness it would be safe for you to expect. Right level of expectations at the start save us from wrong level of frustration later.

While we won’t consider going to this place again, I won’t stop others from trying their own luck. But I would say please don’t give them more than one article at a time. Don’t leave with them in one go the whole loads of suits that you are planning to have stitched. Just see the results of one order first and then proceed accordingly.

As for charges, they are not ferociously high…just expect to pay twice the figure that a usual darzi charges for a job. Like if he is charging 400 for a suit, these ladies would charge around 900 for that. This is just a approximate benchmark to give you a rough idea.

Looks like they are living up to their name
