An…read moreAlladdins cave of treasures from shoes to fabrics..kitchen ware to religious icons..suits to saris.Balti trays and cooking utensils are very reasonably priced compared to any cook shop. This store is massive! It packs a lot of stuff all under one roof! Lovely sari fabrics from around £15.99. I often buy the plain white silk ones for £15 and cut into smaller pieces and dye for other things.Ornate saris make wonderful furnishing fabrics too. A great selection of haberdashery..lovely ribbons and trims. A bargain bin with short pieces of amazing fabrics at about 8 pieces a £1. Some stunning jewellery as well and indian cosmetics and hennabindis, henna tattoos and I also stock up on incense. The huge emporium is a gleaming bazaar with rolls of silks in every possible shade. Racks of spangled shoes and sandals seem to come straight from Bollywood. Yet there are also racks of little girls' organdie dresses like those worn by Shirley Temple in the 1930s. Indeed, something about Bombay Stores is very comforting for English people: it is as if time has stood still. For the Asian community is a taste of home. There is order and calm, no pressure selling and plenty of space to wander from the boutique, selling Bollywood pop hits and videos, to the cafe, en route to the fabrics, suits and shoes. I always keep carrying armfuls of stuff to the checkout but now they have also devised a new idea. In fact there's so much that the only way to shop for larger goods is to browse the store and pick up tickets for each item that you want to purchase, and when you're done you go to the checkout, give in your tickets and all your items will be ready to pay for and collect. I bought a huge, thick fleecy throw for about £20 and everyone wants to steal itit is so soft and luxurious! The brains behind Bombay Stores is 68-year-old Abdul Kader, who came to Britain in 1957. He knew nobody, and started with nothing, but there were jobs. He worked on the London buses and in the Bradford mills. By 1963 he had bought his first business, a former fish and chip shop. His capital was only £100 and his wife, Maryam, worked long hours in the shop making dresses while he drove buses on a double shift to pay for the enterprise. He expanded to the present premises in Shearbridge Road in 1983. Today, annual turnover is £10m and he employs 70 workers. Very efficient and helpful service. They have a cafe for wonderful samosas, coffee and good western style kids meals too. Bombay Stores in Bradford not only sells fabrics that attract customers from all over the world, it also brings together a multicultural community. It is the UK's largest Asian department store. They have a web site with a small online catalogue and various department goods. Opening times: Mon to Fri 10:00am till 07:30pm Sat 10:00am till 08:00pm Sun 12:00pm till 06:00pm

The wide range offers everything from simple plain white cotton to the most heavily embellished and luxurious satins perfect for wedding dresses. They have a dedicated bridal section and I believe they do custom made wedding dresses these do not come cheap but you get what you pay for. The extensive trims section offers glittering diamantes and a fantastic selection of buttons. They really do have everything you need at Bombay stores. The only thing that does start to get irritating after a while is the music as Bollywood tunes really aren't my thing but it's an INdian store so it fits well with the shop.

This used to be a really good outdoor shopping village but seems to have gone downhill over the…read morelast few years. This used to have a nice mix of ethnic and engish stores and you had a realy good choice of things to buy, but, now it focuses more on ethnic goods and thus there isnt really much for me to buy there anymore as i dont go in for all the spices and curry food that it sells. The village has many market type stalls set out in the grounds and there is also a few stalls inside too - there is a second hand flea market type of stall inside with all sorts of second hand furniture and books, ornaments, bric a brac, etc. There is also a small pet shop inside which doesnt do many live animals but does cater for pet care and treatment with a good stock. There are loads of ethnic clothing stalls and ethnic food stalls so if that is your taste there are some good bargains to be had as this is a really cheap market. There is also a butcher who sells out of refrigerated wagon who haggles people with his prices which gives it an auction type of feel. I love listening to him say 'ill give you 2 pieces for a fiver or even 3 pieces for a fiver - any takers' and everyone waves their fivers about thinking they are getting a bargain - i wouldnt dare buy meat like that. Ok for bargains but hard to walk round as gets very muddy and the ground isnt even and is very hilly in places so it isnt appropriate for wheelchair users and prams.

What a place, came up to Bradford and heard of Cannon Mills as being the go to market…read more Having been to the market Town of Skipton this was surely different. WOW.. They had a massive collection of stalls focusing on everything from textiles to cookware and the prices are all negotiable.. It was like being in morocco again !! ... It's worth mentioning the fellas outside market 2 who run a bedding and pots and pan store where I seemed to spend at least 30 mins... The prices where very good and the customer service brilliant... Any size and colour fitted bed sheets 2 for £5.. Bargain . To mention further the street food on offer was equally as good.. Will definitely be back

Facilities inside the store include a Cafe, toilets, as well as a selection of Home products. The store looked fairly nice/modern, and the staff seemed friendly enough. I was pretty disappointed with the Food Hall selection, there was a large number of items that were either out of stock, or just not stocked here, and I ended up leaving unable to purchase what I would have liked and had to make a trip at a different store on my way home. A useful part of the store is the direct access to the mall's car park, meaning you can walk straight in and out of the store, without having to go through the rest of the mall, meaning it's easier to get your items to the car without having to carry heavy shopping throughout the shopping centre. 3* - A great brand and the store looks pleasant, they do need to work on the selection in the Food Hall though.

Dont be fooled from the outside- the Marks and Spencers at Bradford is surprisingly large. There is…read morea huge selection of food on the bottom floor (where the food hall is), and you can find anything from pre-cooked meals to raw meat. There is usually some kind of promotion, so watch out for those! However, I have to agree with mumtothree that the selection of fashion choices in the shop is not the best. The clothes tend to be for more mature women.

The office space is lovely and clean and tidy so a good first impression when you walk in. It's rare to find a mobile phone repair shop that you can trust not to rip you off these days. Adrian the repair engineer was not only polite, cheerful and helpful, but really knew his stuff too. Lovely guy. He went that extra mile for me and now I definitely won't need to go anywhere else for phone repairs and will be recommending Angel to friends & family. Due to the nature of the problem we thought my phone probably needed a couple of parts replacing, but when Adrian took it apart he saw it only needed a good clean up which cost a lot less. I wouldn't have known any different if he hadn't been so honest - some people would have taken advantage. Thank you so much! My phone looks like new & is working perfectly. I can't speak highly enough of Adrian & Angel repairs. Very professional. Proper good old fashioned customer service. A+++++ Gaynor Fisher 14/9/22
