I'm not surprised at the other bad reviews I'm reading here... I bought a gown from this store and they told me they were going to order a new one for me with my measurements from India. For reference I am under 100 pounds and just over 5 feet, so naturally I need a size XS. For this reason I was pleased when they told me they would customize a new one for me instead of taking in the size Medium from the store. Low and behold I come back 3 weeks later to find that it has the "M" size tag in it and does NOT fit me. Of course they have a no refunds policy so I was stuck with this outfit that I can't wear and out $500. Never coming back here again.

Took my wife here to buy some dresses a couple years ago and was greeted warmly by the manager Farhana and was oriented to the various styles of garments they carry. We've been coming back ever since to buy for various occasions. They always seem to carry the latest styles and it's reasonably priced.

Wow just wow. I decided to go inside this place to find my 18-month old a dress. She greeted us and told us there were not any dresses available yet for children so I decided to stick around and look for myself. She asked what I was looking for and I told her I was just looking for something simple for Diwali. All was going well and she even mentioned "I can custom make dresses to your liking . . ."And all was still going well UNTIL she added in: ". . .since we do not have extra larger sizes here in the store"I looked at her in disbelief and said "how would you know what size I wear ?" She's like "I didn't mean to" and then I left. She said bye to my husband but did not even have the decency to say bye to me.This is horrible customer service. You should have left it at "I custom make dresses" but you had to make an unneeded comment about not having extra larger sizes.Why is the primary focus on body image and sizing ?? Yes, I understand that this is a clothing store BUT I have been to plenty of other stores where they just said "let me know what size you're looking for and I'll search if we have it" OR "if you're interested in a particular dress, we can take your measurements"It came off as rude and condescending. It put a damper in my mood and made me think even deeper as to how many Indian women view women like me.As Indian women, we should learn to support one another and be kind to all women despite skin tone, weight or height. There is so much learning of etiquette required in this business.Well, whether you have extra larger sizes or not, rest assured I'll never step foot in here !

Just as mentioned in some the other reviews, the lady in scarf is absolutely the worst and body shaming sales person ever! Firstly she did NOT wear a mask when i entered the shop. And didn't even care about staying away from me to main distance. Plus when I wanted to try something she asked me my size. And I said 38 or 36 (i am in postpartum stage), but she was like no you are more like 40 or 42 ( after checking me out top to bottom)! I read bad reviews about her previously, but thought of giving her shop a chance (i love Meena bazaar india). But it's a shame on Meena Bazaar, this lady is spoiling the name and loosing customer. I was in full mood of shopping and even liked something I wanted, but I did NOT purchase it cause of her attitude. She lost a potential customer for ever! Also their saree and suit collection is all trash (though she was trying to save her a** by saying all the good stuff was sold cause of Diwali).

My cousin is getting married and the bride is Indian and so this was my very first time coming to a store like this and I have to say it will definitely be my last. The entire experience here was so awful and I had to write a review in hopes that the "owner" of the store will see it and do something about the woman who runs it. I had purchased a skirt from another place and I only needed a blouse to match it. I walked over to a rack of blouses and the woman running the store tells me ALL the blouses are 50% off. I narrowed it down to two options but I left my skirt in the car and wanted to see which one matched more. I told the employee I would be right back with the skirt and to hold those two tops for me. I came back less than 5 minutes later with the skirt and the top that matched also happened to be the only one that fit me anyway so I thought it worked out. I told her I would take it and the original price of the top was $80. I pull out my money to pay and she told me the top is full price. I told her just a few minutes ago you said it was half off. She then proceeds to tell me that only the top that DOESNT FIT ME is half off this one is full price because it's new. She saw that I was upset since she clearly lied to my face and offers me 20% off of the blouse that does fit me. She obviously knew I wasn't going to buy the one that didn't fit and so conveniently that one is marked down like she said but the one that fit me wasnt. I then asked her to honor what she said she not only denied that she ever said that (both me and my sister heard her tell us that) but then proceeds to say the owner is in India and she can't wake them up to ask them for 50% off the blouse she had already told us was on sale. Another employee in the store overheard what was happening and starts yelling at her to just give it to us for 50% off and she refused. At that point it was clearly about her having way too much power for someone who is really so insignificant. I let her know she's a liar and I want yelp to know as well. There are so many other places with nicer things that don't waste your time with lies. I went to Frontier and found much nicer quality and more important WAY BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE. If there really is an owner in India and if you see this review please fire this woman immediately she is running business right out the door.

Came in and was treated very poorly by the lady working, she told my sister and I that all her blouses were 50% off. We told her we were trying to match a skirt and came back in with the skirt to see if the blouse would match. Once we told her what we wanted and she saw that we were interested in this particular blouse she told us that since the blouse we want is newer it's only 20% off. She blatantly lied to our faces once she saw our interest in this blouse, we're not d*** and we were completely aware of how she was trying to get more money out of us. She stated her hands are tied and the owner makes the rules on what's what is discounted. We asked her to contact the owner to see if he would honor the discount she initially told us and she lied stating the owner is in India and because of the time difference she's not contacting him. There was another lady working who was yelling at her in Hindi/English telling her to just give it to us for that price but she didn't want to budge thinking we would just pay that price. It's disgusting to think someone would treat a customer like that. Their selection was pretty awful and the clothes looked like very poor quality but we were honestly just so desperate to go home. I highly recommend shopping elsewhere - so many other shops like loveleen where they genuinely want to help you find something nice and their clothing is actually high quality. Cheaper prices def means cheaper quality at this store.

They have some good products but can never find the dresses in small or medium. Customer service is bad.

I came here to buy an outfit for my wedding reception because I liked that they had fixed prices that were reasonable. I found an outfit I really liked but needed it custom made because they didn't have my size. I ordered it 2 months before the date I told them I needed it by, and was told it would arrive straight to my home after 4-5 weeks. When 6 weeks passed and I hadn't heard anything, I called them. They said they would call me the next day after checking with their supplier, but never called. When I called again, I was told it had shipped that day and would arrive after 8 days. It never came. I called again multiple times and kept getting the same answer. When I asked for a tracking number, they told me they didn't have one. When I still didn't have the outfit 1 week before the day I needed it, I called again and explained that my event was in a week. They reassured me it was on its way. Two days later, I got a call while I was at work asking me to look at pics of measurements and to verify if they were correct before they shipped it. I didn't have a measuring tape so I told them to verify it with the measurements they took. Two days before my event, I got a call that my outfit arrived to their shop rather than my home. I went to the store to try it on. The top was so large and short that it would show my entire bra when I lifted my arms. When I showed them this, they told me not to lift my arms! I told them this was unacceptable. They then tried to charge me to have a tailor fix it! I refused because they took the measurements incorrectly. They then had a tailor fix the outfit. So I didn't get the outfit until the night before the event! That was after 10 phone calls and them lying to me 4 times that the outfit was on its way. Their customer service is horrible. The outfit itself was beautiful which is the only reason I gave them 2 stars. I would not buy anything here if you need a custom order. They lost a lot of business as I told all my friends and family to shop elsewhere for their outfits for my wedding

My wife bought dresses for herself and our daughter. Good material and good customer service. Price is one point that if worked and kept reasonable. Manager has been absolute charming and very polite and easy to work with when it came to size and fitting.

I usually do my Indian clothes shopping from Artesia. This time, I happened to go to this store. I found a suit, pink in color, for a reasonable price. I TRIED IT ON at the STORE, and it fit perfectly. I went home and ironed the EXACT SAME DRESS since I would be wearing it to a sweet sixteen party. Strangely enough, the suit was now tight. I ripped the top 3 times trying to fit my body into this suit that had shrunk, only after ironing it! I went back to the store after two-three days and explained what had happened. Both the manager and employee had no explanation to offer about the fabric shrinking. Apparently it had happened before! The store "manager" argued that suits shrink after WASHING them and refused to listen to my lengthy explanation that I had IRONED it and not washed. After more than twenty minutes of arguing (thank goodness the store was closed), the manager and employee decided to call the owner in India. They promised (lied) and said they would call me back the next day. Almost two days later, I still have had ZERO calls or even a email. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT SHOP @ THIS STORE!

Great Service, very friendly. Staff is nice and accommodating, we ended up purchasing a pretty green anarkali that was on sale.

My family and I were shopping for a wedding and went to Meena Bazaar because we had never been before. We did not expect much, but were pleasantly surprised. We received exceptional customer service from Ruby who has helped us every time we visit. Not only has she pulled numerous pieces for us, but she is also kind and gives her honest opinion. Ruby is extremely knowledgeable about current fashions and trends and is most helpful person. Not only does Meena Bazaar have a great selection, their customer service is unmatched because of Ruby.

We went in to Meena Bazaar to look for dresses for my niece for her wedding. The ladies were all incredibly helpful and were bringing dresses for my niece to try according to what she was looking for. They were great at helping her try them on and giving suggestions to my her as far as alterations and accommodations that could be made in order to be the perfect dress. I loved how organized and clean the store was and how helpful everyone was. We previously had gone to another store just up the street where our experience was completely different and left a bad taste in our mouth. Meena's had lots of beautiful outfits and accessories. We will definitely go back again as we get closer to the wedding to shop for our outfits and accessories.
