Mairs are one of the exceptional stores on Soho Road for that Asian wedding and bridal attire…read more They always display the latest designs and the fashion you can't produce in the UK, they bring all the items over from all over Asia, which includes, India, Singapore and far out east. Popular, and occasionally you will find a great sale on, they also have some nice outfits for men. Certainly take friends and family with you on your visit here. Whatever colours you prefer they sell. I like how they speak lots of languages, and it's more convenient for my mothers generation who knows that she trusts what they're saying about their garments when she can speak to them in her own language. I'd recommend visiting the store, car parking is available nearby, and the shop is served with bus routes regularly from the city and West Bromwich. Quite busy on the weekends though.

This is one shop on Soho Road I like going to and just walking into the shop, I got a sense of…read morethere being a friendly atmosphere about the place. Despite the fact I have not brought anything from here, I have tried one or two sherwanis from Mairs. Just wearing them felt good and the only thing that prevented me from buying them was price. I did ask if they could reduce the price by a small amount but they couldn't. What I will say is that the staff here are very friendly and will help you if you need it. They will happily answer your questions and offer you advice. I did find some sherwanis had way too much embroidery but I guess there are Asians out there that like Indian suits with plenty of sequins/embroidery. If Mairs did lower their prices then maybe I would buy a sherwani from here. As well as Menswear, there are Asian Ladieswear on sale here as well.

Worst customer service!!…read more My friend ordered a dress made to measure from this boutique. She ordered the dress 7weeks in advance and was told it will be ready in time. When we went to the shop the man who owns the shop showed us the dress which was the same dress she saw on the mannequin 7weeks ago. The dress had marks and few beading missing. The dress which she wanted hadn't arrived and the owner lied saying the dress in front of us was the new one she ordered. The owner lied so much he had no idea after a while what he was saying. The owner is the rudest person I have come across screaming at the customers. Customers needs did not come first. Owner didn't want to listen to the customer and lied over and over again!! Do NOT shop from this boutique. You won't get what you pay for. BEWARE!!

This shop reminds me of the Cash and Carry store in Leicester. I'm not someone who is a regular…read moreshopper but there are plenty of useful items people may want to purchase. From saris to god statues to kitchen utensils, these are some of the things you will find at Milans. Although there are some nice saris on sale, I'm not entirely sure whether future brides would buy saris from here. There are other shops on Soho Road that offer more in the way of bridal saris. And to be honest you will find better bridal saris elsewhere. Having said that the saris at Milans are good but not excellent and you might want to buy some saris from here anyway. That's just my view. I did like the god statues and I am into them. The majority are Hindu gods and they are well priced. I haven't actually brought any statues but I might just return here to do so. The shop is pretty clean as you would expect it to be and I may well come back to Milans in the near future.

Although this is a great shop, they always seem to have a sale on whenever I visit. I visited the…read morestore about a week ago with my mother, and was told that they will be having a closing down sale and moving away. OMG. They sell a good and varied selection of Asian clothing in here, and is the ideal visit if your shopping on Soho Rd. Everyone knows about this place and they have decent and reasonable prices. Over the years my family, especially my mother, have spent a small fortune in here buying Saree's and accessories that come in the most delightful of colours and fashions. It's nice how they've branched out to also include shawls, kitchenware, fashion accessories such as bindis, and items that you may need for religious worship. Overall a delightful store. Good prices, and they'll be surely missed if they were to ever leave.

This is one place to visit if you are looking for bargain saris and 3 piece ladies suits. I was…read moresurprised at the cost of various saris in this shop and they are for sure affordable. On the outside of the shop it mentions that it has exclusive fashion jewellery. I didn't see much in the way of jewellery and you would be better off going to a specialist jewellery shop. However there are some impressive saris on offer here and I would give this place four stars at least. It is not the most spacious and biggest sari shop but I have said this many times and I will say it again. It is about the quality of products you sell and not the quantity. If you sell quality products at a decent price, you will get customers buying your products. The only reason I am not giving this shop five stars is because I didn't see much jewellery being sold here. That's the only reason. But the staff are terrific here and they are there to help you.

Not the biggest of shops and I did find it to be quite narrow inside. The quality of saris in here…read morethough are pretty good and again no menswear so sorry to disappoint you lads. Staff are friendly as always and will help you if you need it. But I can't see myself coming here again just because Raaz is not the biggest of shops and I have seen other stores offering more clothes in the way of saris and sherwanis. The fact that no sherwanis are on offer is another reason why I will not be coming back. Prices are not overly expensive but they are not cheap either. But I would say they are reasonable and affordable if you have got the money. Raaz does have its competitors and in truth I cannot see it being able to compete with the bigger shops on Soho Road.

Plush green carpeting and spread out displays give a pleasant, airy feel to the store and staff are clued-up and helpful, yet not overly pushy or annoying. On my visit, I was after a Streetly School P.E. kit for my brother, which I am sad to the store did not have in stock (quite surprising as this school is located just 10 minutes away from the store by car), apparently because the school comes under a Walsall postcode as opposed to a Birmingham one. Uniforms Plus seems to have a very extensive stock and definitely benefits from enthusiastic, knowledgeable employees, but if your child goes to a school further afield than the Great Barr/Kingstanding/Sandwell area, you'd probably be better off visiting Clive Mark in Sutton Coldfield, or a school clothing elsewhere.

Students who attend schools within the Perry Barr and Birmingham area may well use Uniforms Plus to…read morebuy school uniforms, polo shirts etc. If you don't fancy going to your school to buy a uniform, Uniforms Plus could be your answer. As well as school uniforms, the shop also offers coats and uniform sportswear. Although I did not attend any schools within the Birmingham area, going into Uniforms Plus gave me an idea of which schools were featured in the shop. So pupils who attend schools in Sandwell, Uniforms Plus in Perry Barr is not for you. I found the staff very helpful at Uniforms Plus and based on what I saw, the staff will always be there to help if you need it. If parents do have children attending schools in the Birmingham area and are looking to purchase uniforms, Uniforms Plus might well be worth a visit.

Wow, I have no kids but I'm lucky enough to have some friends who are expecting new deliveries (or…read morejust gave birth) so it's just lovely to have such a (huge) shop next door and spoil the moms around. Babystore is a very traditional shop placed in Walsall Road next to other independent shops. As they are known as one of the largest ones in the country, which means you can find practically everything for your newborn and kids in early ages. I was quite impressed with the range of cribs and cot beds. Styles, colours and different sizes that would probably keep parents a bit busy and undecided to choose the perfect one. Plus, the delivery is for free with orders up to £ 50 so you it means you can make the most of it. The baby safety items are really interesting as well and it's unbelievable how they can think about absolutely everything nowadays to keep the children safe.
