To be honest, I've only been to Harwin once before this day. IYKYK. It's a place to get a deal on prom dresses and Indian/Pakistani traditional attire among other things. My friends and I had our fairly regular brunch date, and someone mentioned going to Harwin after to try on lehengas in preparation for our friend's mehndi party. One of my friends in the group was apprehensive about shopping, but we ended up going. The future bride took us to Roop Sari Palace and showed us the way including the aunties that helped us find dresses in our size. It's basically by bra size in inches. There were so many to choose from that it was a little bit overwhelming at first. Everything was just so beautiful. I literally wanted a couple of them and was torn between two before I settled on one. I must've tried 8-9 different ones which aren't that easy to get on/off. We spent 3 hours there. I even saw some in the kids section that I thought would be fine so that I wouldn't have to hem the long lehenga skirt. I actually didn't try any from the kids section though. Lol. There are only 2 dressing rooms that are small. You could barely hang up 2 or 3 pieces because the skirts are so full, and some have a petticoat. We and other young ladies shared them going in and out at times and asking for our phones or shoes. It felt like a fashion show similar to the movie 27 Dresses where she tries on all of her bridesmaids dresses. There was one particular auntie who was helpful and brought us more lehenga designs we might like, tighten the skirt or plete/drape the dupatta. Mine was on sale for a fair price considering all the beading/sequins, and our bride-to-be friend did some price bargaining for our other friend. I had to get mine altered since the lehenga was too long, and I lost so much weight after purchasing it 5 months ago. I took it to a tailor, but they do offer tailoring here. I didn't want to drive all the way back here just for that. It's a beautiful, traditional lehenga, and I enjoyed wearing it at the mehndi party and got many compliments. I hope I get to wear it again or at least pieces of it for different occasions. I'm told there are plenty of other stores nearby like this one, so I'm sure you're bound to find something you like that fits your fancy. read more

Outstanding collection and best prices!! Best in Houston for sure!! I give this store and its customer service 5 stars!!!!

Wow, what a desi shopping shop! It's a massive place for desi clothes and accessories for everyone, including brides and grooms. One shop, and you have it all. Today, I was shopping for matching jewelry for the upcoming wedding in Virginia. I took pictures of my outfits, but please take the shirt with you, or Instead of pictures, make a video of the outfit so the color of the fabric looks the same. Two people spend at least two hours with me in the jewelry section. Mumtaz and Madhavi are super kind and very professional in their field. They were helpful and did not push me to buy the stuff like other places. The whole time they were smiling and helped me with kindness. Their owners are so lucky to have them their and they do represent the business positively. Thanks Mumtaz and Madhavi. Highly recommended Oh prices are very affordable. read more

I was treated very well here by all the ladies who came to my aid with selecting what I needed. I needed something for my son's wedding and I had to try a lot of things on to see what was the best. They brought lots of selection to the dressing room and I did finally find the one I love the best. I came back the week after that so my husband and son could find a Shalwar Kurta .The man helped them find the perfect thing. read more

When you walk in you see a beautiful store with a lot of choices of sari's, lengas, sherwanis, jewelry, etc. But let me tell you.. the customer service was terrible at this place. Despite everything being on sale, I would not recommend this place for people to visit. Unless you don't care for customer service then go here for the prices. My family and I came here to look for some items for my wedding and the lady that helped us was very rude. She was basically throwing the items on the table for us to hurry up and pick. When we asked her questions, she would give a snarky response back to us. I understand people have bad days, but this is not the attitude you want to show others when you are working. My sisters and I were completely thrown off with the ladies attitude. Again the prices of the items here were great, but makes you wonder why the products are all on sale? read more

What an amazing store! An abundance of variety to choose from; great pricing and sales, and I had an amazing customer service from Osma, she listened attentively to my needs and helped me select quite a few pieces, styles, colors to try and was very honest with me on which fitted best. She made my experience so pleasant and rewarding. Needless to say I walked away with 3 suits for myself and 1 for my brother. read more

Ashuna (probably spelled wrong) but she really was patient with us in helping find a homecoming attire for my daughter. I highly recommend this store to anyone looking for sari and linga with jewelry as well. read more

Rude, disrespectful, and so pushy. This store is full of overpriced junk. There are other small stores in the area that will treat you better and have better quality outfits. read more

Most unprofessional, rude, badtameez owner stopped sales girls to serve the customer. Will not recommend any one to go there. Want all my big family and friends not to ever go there. read more

Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous saris. My fam's been going to Roop Sari for years. My sis actually got one of her wedding saris from RSP. It's a tad more "pricey" than some other hole-in-the-wall boutiques, but you have sooooo many options with their massive selection, so chances are, you'll find something you love. They also have men's and children's wear, jewelry, purses, shoes and some "casual-ware" for non-wedding events. They have sales racks, and you can even negotiate with a sales associate, who will be your little "personal shopper" your entire visit. If you're new to South East Asian clothing (eg: have an event to attend), don't be nervous. These ladies can help you pick out the perfect ensemble from head to toe. They love it. Again - you gotta bargain, too! read more

My friend recommended me to come here for saris and I was totally not disappointed! So many styles, colors, and gorgeous fabrics used in every piece of clothing! I walked in and all of the staff members were busy so I just walked around and looked at all the dresses and clothes on the racks until someone came to me and asked if I needed help. I told her I needed to find some saris to wear to a wedding and she told me she would help me as soon as she was finished with another customer. It didn't take long at all! I was probably in there 30 minutes max and came out with 3 saris. The lady helping me was so nice and taught me how to put everything on and told me how to alter certain things if I felt like I needed some room in the chest and arm area. She even helped me pick out some colors I never knew looked so well on me! AHHHHHH I told my friend that he had to drag me out of there before I bought the whole store. Prices are marked msrp and then discounted but you have to haggle with them to get an even bigger discount lol and it was worth it. I will most certainly come back if I need any more saris! read more

Great selection. We walked in as soon as it opened and was helped almost immediately. It took less than an hour to find what we needed. We especially enjoyed the price at the end. I was unsure due to previous reviews but 10/10 would recommend! read more

Wonderful shopping experience at this place. We were looking for beautiful outfits to wear to a wedding. Unsure of styles and what would be appropriate, the staff was so helpful and friendly!! Prices were reasonable as well. We left very happy! D. E. Brenham, TX read more

Bad collection of clothes, they were ripped with extremely high prices. Disappointed big time.

I went to look for saris, and they were ALL so pretty and at a reasonable price. I told the staff my budget and they helped me look for one that I liked, they showed me jewelry etc. I really liked this place. read more

Me my family love this place. every year come to buy for our Eid dress or any occasions.. but Will meet many women walking around such annoying. Not the ladies work in jewelry. they will keep walk with you. Keep ask wired question. And irritating thing is they will tell you like.. ""look at this dress so nice‍ and gonna continue.. dhaaaaa!! I came to buy my own dresses!!!? Not in your choice. Give me some space!!! rubbish act"" when Customer saying let me look around then, they need to give customer little space. I feel so bad to get rude over them‍. Very bad !! Otherwise I am fine with their dress quality and price. read more

There were many dresses that looked beautiful but there was absolutely no customer service. I was not impressed by any of the team members that offered to help me; yes, they offered to assist but all it seemed they wanted to do is sell me dresses above my budget even though I mentioned quite a few times the amount I wanted to spend. The team members were speaking a different language, which is absolutely fine, but I find it disrespectful when they would talk among each other after every single thing I say- seemed like they were commenting about me and my not having knowledge of dresses (which I don't and why I needed their assistance). They may have not been doing that, but gave the impression they were. After about 10 minutes of having someone follow me and not assist me other than direct me to expensive dresses; I decided to walk out to go to another store who actually listened to what I needed and assisted me. read more

I had an Indian wedding to attend for a friend. I was excited and yet a little worried about finding the proper attire to wear. I had never worn a saree or sari (take your pick on the spelling), and didn't feel comfortable borrowing one, so my friend suggested this place. It seems this is their new location. Upon walking in, the first thing I noticed was how welcoming and helpful the ladies that work here are, its family owned and operated after all. The place is quite large; I was somewhat overwhelmed with the selection and tons of displays. So many bright colors and saree's lined up one after the other. I was able to find several I loved, I felt like a princess or goddess. The gowns are so intricate and detailed, almost made me want to marry in one myself . The colors and designs are just amazing.I found the perfect saree, and it was on sale! It was a steal! I received many compliments at the wedding. Too bad I can't really wear my saree anywhere else as of the moment, or it just may be the perfect excuse to visit India, Bangladesh, Nepal, or Malaysia. Hmm... Anyhow, I came back here again today for a different reason with some co-workers. We needed to make togas for an upcoming themed office party, and I remembered seeing that they sold beautiful fabric. The lady that assisted us was lovely and so patient. We were all in shock at how cheap some of this beautiful fabric was, such as $3 a yard. My two co-workers and I walked out with the fabric we each needed and were pleased with the great bargain. They also sell jewelry and headpieces of of all sorts. I bought a cashmere scarf for less than $5. Most places in Harwin are known to be cheap, but only a few carry high quality stuff. This store is a diamond in the rough. Oh, and keep in mind they are closed on Tuesdays. read more

I had a really great experience overall buying clothes for my family for my wedding here. The woman helping us was really helpful and showed me a lot of things in the colors and styles I was interested in. She let us use a dressing room in the back when the front was very crowded. She held clothes for us and got them altered very quickly even as we went to go get lunch for the day and come back later. They have a great selection in many many different colors and styles. Beautiful lehengas for any occasion, ghararas, salwars, anarkalis, and a great selection of men's clothes as well which is often difficult to find at Indian clothing stores. Only one star off because of one of the ladies at the jewelry area - she was helpful but really really agressive in an incredibly rude and unappealing way. I did not want to interact with her at all. Otherwise, had a great experiences with very reasonable prices and good service. read more

I came from Dallas twice, once to buy my bridal gown and the second to buy my fiancé's sherwani. The first time I came with my mom (both Latinas) and the sales rep was very pushy and rushing me to purchase. It made my experience extremely stressful because not only am I trying to buy my bridal dress, one that I like, but also trying to learn my fiancé's cultura (Indian). The first time I thought it might have been part of the culture, but I noticed that with other ladies of the same culture they were taking their time. It is almost as if they do not want females of other cultures to enter their store. Today when I came with my fiancé, they were taking their time with him however when I would ask questions, they would disregard me entirely.I would also like to note that the first time I notice that the people cleaning and fixing items were Latinos and they were being treated rudely. I really wanted to give them the benefit of doubt and assumed it was because they were busy that day. Due to the fact that in Dallas there is a lack of variety in Indian/ sari dresses, I decided to look for my bridesmaid saris. I found one that I loved but when I saw the sales rep throwing the bag at the Latina employ and almost hitting her face as if she was a dog, made me extremely upset and I decided not to purchase anything else. My Fiance, my mom, and I spent almost $2,000 before I saw their treatment towards their employees. I was so close to spending an additional $2000+ for my 6 bridesmaid but when I saw the lack of human decency I decided to leave. I HOPE they learn how to treat customers and even more importantly the back bone of their store that keep their store looking clean. As for the Indian reps are extremely lazy and leave dresses on the counters. Will not be returning. read more

Came in yesterday with my sister to help her find an outfit for my Godh Bharai. Ruby was very helpful and kind. She went out of her way to make sure we found exactly what we needed and explained how to properly wear the attire. We are African American and have visited several times as we have a multiracial family. Ruby was definitely the nicest and most accommodating employee we have experienced. THANK YOU SO MUCH RUBY!!! read more

I know nothing about shopping for Indian clothing, but I think we got a good deal on some beautiful clothes for a friend's wedding. For us newbies, this store was pretty overwhelming, but I enjoyed looking at all the beautiful beadwork and stitching. My friend needed a sari and an anarkali suit for a wedding, and her budget was $200 for everything. From the very minute we walked in, we were personally helped by a nice older woman who directed us to the racks that had appropriate sizes and prices for our budget. We also had strict color requirements as dictated by the bride, and she helped us find items that fit those needs. We found the anarkali suit first and she knocked the price down to $99 from $119. This suit included the top/dress, the matching pants and the scarf. Next we moved on to the saris. They have never ending piles of saris in every color of the rainbow. Our personal shopper helped my friend find a gorgeous sari that was already sized to fit her. She also assisted us in how to wrap a sari. The sari included the cropped blouse and the sari itself. The pants in a coordinating color were an additional $5. She was very helpful in offering prices on alterations for everything (shortening the sleeves of a suit, pre-stitching a sari, letting out the waist of a sari top, tightening the sleeves of a suit) but we opted to find things that fit off the rack. Once we got to the register, the man knocked another few dollars off the anarkali suit, which brought the total for the suit and sari to $190. I tried to negotiate a little more at this point, but they wouldn't budge. On our way out, they also gave us a few packs of bindis. Overall, this was a great experience in unfamiliar territory, and my friend and I both thought it was easier and faster than we expected. read more

"Yay! I'm a fan." My friend and I went shopping for fabric in Bellaire and arrived just as our chosen place was closing, so we got on Yelp and looked up Fabric and found this gem. Parking is a zoo. Good luck. We walked in and our eyes lit up like it was Christmas morning. So many pretty things! My friend high-fives me. Staff were a mix of helpful and what-are-you-doing-here looks and "Can I help you?" with a suspicious eye when we would touch a fabric and say how pretty it was. One lady laughed at me, but whatever. I thought she'd be used to seeing tall brunettes, living in Houston, but I guess not. The woman at the jewelry counter was helpful and very pleasant to chat with. She found a few replacement gems to fix the necklace I wanted so I could be at maximum bling level. I was on a bargain-hunting mission. I succeeded. I got a three-piece sari (it needed hem work, which I didn't mind doing at home), choli, 1 set of bangles, and sari headdress/necklace set. All for under $100. I also got a lot of compliments when I wore it. read more

Roop is one of the few Indian clothing retailers in Hillcroft. While they have a wide selection, much of it is outdated. They have newer, younger styles as well, but in limited quantity and only few sizes. On top of that, the mark-up on items is beyond acceptable. A pair of cookie cutter foam and stiff cardboard shoes that aren't shaped for a right or left foot are $25. Seriously, $25 can get you a bargain pair of leather dress shoes at Payless or Ross or even Kohl's. In addition, the costume jewelry comes with missing pieces that they fill in with stray "jewels" and crazy glue. Please make sure you double check their work, as they failed to fill one empty spot, and put in a few pieces in at odd angles with deficient glue. I made sure to check and had to ask the attendant to re-do her work. No apology or kind word for the shoddy work, just a grimace and more glue. Roop is well-known in the Hillcroft market, and really has little competition. Perhaps that's why they can get by with overcharging, but it still doesn't excuse the deficient customer service and attitude. Good service can keep customers happier to come back and overpay the next time. We came for a few outfits, but we also got a dose of poor attitude from the staff at the register, and a bad taste in our mouths from our experience. read more

I had them custom design my dream wedding dress! They took my measurements and preferences and sent them to India where they designed my dress, and then I was fitted for it, they did tailoring, and I got my dress! It was an awesome experience, they helped with the tailoring, and stayed true to their prices at the final payment! It was awesome to get that huge piece of my day handled so well! They also helped me get dresses for my in-laws, the groom, and much more. read more

Oh My Gawd! I could spend my life savings here. And like an entire weekend trying on these gorgeous dresses! I came here today to buy a dress, and walked out with an amazing Anarkali (suit dress). It is a figure-hugging dress in the bodice and from the waist down has a lot of applice rhinestones and intricate trim. It came with a Churidar,( the tapered pants), as well as a chiffon scarf to round out the proper Anarkali look. I was lucky to get Ms. Ruby on site to help me pick out some options for me based on my budget, and once I found THE ONE, I began picking out my accessories: Tikka (headpiece), necklace, earrings, bangles, and shoes, to match. The young lady at the accessories counter was super sweet and offered to polish my jewelry for that extra bling bling shine! Oh yes, I can't wait to wear my ensemble! Bollywood, hire me!!! read more

I love Saris and this place offers a decent selection. I am not sure if they are the best quality as I only purchased one here for fun. I love that they display some of the saris and your are able to pick and choose. Also, the sales people sometimes help you look for anything in particular that you may choose. They are a bit pricey but I hear that most saris are anyway. I dont wear saris for special occassions just really because I love the colors, bling, and sequins. For that purpose, these saris are great for me! read more

I had a friend go Sari shopping with me and I am so glad she came with. I had no clue what I needed as I was attending a wedding. The selection at this place is pretty amazing. I had never seen so much beautiful fabric and such an assortment of styles of clothing. The staff was very helpful. I told them exactly what it was I needed and in the price range and they pulled several selections and alterations are done in store and very inexpensive. There is also a range of jewelry and accessories to choose from. read more

While the prices are not bad for bridal outfits, sometimes the customer service is so-so. Salim (the owner) was helpful, but the other lady in the bridal area was not. I told her my wedding was in May and she told me I wasn't supposed to be shopping for my bridal lehenga until February. Why would I start that late?? I explained to her that not only do I like to do things early, I have a heavy travel schedule that REQUIRES me to start early. After explaining very assertively, she finally let me try on some lehengas (she previously refused). Next day, I took my fiance with me and she was super sweet (because Salim was there, no doubt). Salim told me to try on whatever I wanted, despite knowing what my wedding date was. Wow, what a difference between the two. However, I will say this, I was told that to make an Ekta Solanki designer lehenga, it would cast $1000 because there was no stone work on it. I disagree. I've seen many pictures of this lehenga, and I don't think the owner and I saw eye to eye about this particular lehenga. What made me more nervous was that the girl there told me that they don't do sketches prior to placing a custom order. Just provide them with a picture and they'll do it. That's all. I'm a very thorough, detailed person and that just wasn't going to work for me. I rather pay more and have a sketch there showing exactly what the replica will look like/what they will use to make it. While Almas Tejani is MUCH more expensive, I feel like she was more professional. Roop has good stuff, don't get me wrong, but they operate too much like desis. read more

Sooo rude staffs at all!!! First they don't have fix price, value of items is 10 they will tell you 50$ and after couple of hard time they will call you back for 15! We wana buy punjabi they lady told me 130$ when I come to cashier they charge me 187! And the rude lady told me no i told you 187! We really don't like the customer service! In customer service job at least we should be a little nice I don't want to give them half star read more

Ok so I don't like everything Roop Sari has but honestly you can always find some good outfits if you look hard enough. There are a lot of options and something for everyone. I think it's the best place because I've found wedding outfits to casual wear to outfits for gifts and all of the above. You just have to look around and spend a little time. Their bangles are also really nice, that's the only jewelry I ever bought from here. Aside from the clothing if you ever want to get your clothes alteration I wouldn't recommend this place. The lady didn't do such a good job and I was disappointed. It's was very messy stitching and had to be re done. That's the only downside I've had. read more

We've been coming to this place for YEARS, probably since they opened. We've gotten great customer service from the parents (especially the father) that owned this place, but now there is a young guy working there (maybe their son) - mostly at the register and he is incredibly mean and unhelpful. Terrible customer service from the new generation. +1 star for the punjabi lady that works there - she is nice. read more

This place has the most amazing selection. We looked at options ranging from $50-500, so they literally have something for every budget! I needed a dress for a wedding and my friend recommended this place as THE place to go for wedding clothes in Houston if you want value for money. She wasn't wrong. I couldn't be more happy with my dress and alterations were only $10! However, I will note that customer service is a bit hit and miss. If you meet a nice salesperson, they can be really sweet and helpful. If you meet a bad one, they can be extremely rude to you. read more

I would never ever go back to this place. I purchased some bangles she packed it up and I get home and she gave me two different sizes. Then I bought a dress and they took me to the lady that does the alterations. She looked at the dress and didn't even mark or write down anything and said okay I'll have it ready in one week. Thai is just to shorten the dress and make the top smaller. It threw me off that she did not even take the measurement, but I trusted her. I went back to pick it up and she had everything wrong. The dress was super loose like she never even did anything. Then as I look closer stitches were coming off. I told her I needed the dress on Saturday (I went to pick it up Thursday) she said her machine was broken so she couldn't fix it until the next day. So I put the dress again and was hoping she would take measurements this time. No, she said she knew what she was doing and did not take any measurements again! This was a disaster and headache. She over charged me for something she did not even do a great job at, the stitches were coming off and I had to spend money buying a different dress! DO NOT DO ALTERATIONS HERE!! read more
