Writing this long-overdue review because this boutique truly deserves it. From the moment I walked in, I was in awe of the stunning lehengas and jewelry. As someone who isn't Indian, I'll admit I felt a little intimidated at first--but the owner immediately made my family and I feel so welcome and comfortable. I was shopping for my engagement dress, and honestly, everything I tried on was beyond what I had imagined. Every piece felt like exactly what I was looking for--but even better. It really is a one-stop shop. It's been over two years now, and I still come back regularly. I recommend this boutique to all my friends and loved ones without hesitation. read more

I had the best experience at Siya. I didn't have enough time to make it out to India and I was a bit nervous about shopping stateside. But Pranesh and Sonu helped me find all three of my outfits and jewelry for my sangeet, reception, and wedding, and the whole process was honestly such a fun and memorable experience. For my wedding outfit, he actually met with the designer with me and helped me design what I wanted and had it shipped to his store and tailored. He really took the time to understand what I wanted and paid attention to every little detail. And gave really great advice. The final result was even more beautiful than I imagined. Pranesh was always available whenever I had questions or wanted to bounce ideas off him, and he's just such a down-to-earth guy which made the whole process feel really comfortable and easy. You can tell he genuinely cares about making sure you love what you're wearing. The selection at Siya is also amazing. A lot of the other stores I went to felt pretty similar to each other, but Siya's pieces felt much more modern and up-to-date. It's a really nice blend of traditional designs to East meets West styles, and everything felt unique and thoughtfully curated. On top of that, his pricing is honestly very reasonable for the level of quality, craftsmanship, and style you're getting. I couldn't recommend Siya more if you're looking for bridal outfits that feel special, personalized, and beautifully made. read more

I've always bought my Indian clothing in India, so thinking of shopping in the U.S. was a bit nerve-wracking. Many of my Indian friends do the same, so I didn't have any personal recommendations. Yelp became my guide, and I'm so glad we chose this store. Inside, a few customers were already being fitted for outfits, which was a good sign. The customer service here was truly excellent. We were helped by Sonam, who was incredibly kind and attentive. She took the time to understand what we were looking for and made the whole process easy and enjoyable. Her warm, patient approach made all the difference. The owner, Pranesh, was also very helpful, making sure we had everything we needed. Their level of care and attention stood out and made our experience even better. I wasn't sure what to expect price-wise, but I was pleasantly surprised. They carry name-brand outfits at reasonable prices. We visited another store afterward for comparison, and it was noticeably more expensive, with mostly in-house branded clothing rather than well-known designers. That's not necessarily a bad thing--it just made it harder for us to understand the quality and pricing. What really stood out at Siya was the quality. If you shop online, you might find cheaper options, but it's hard to know what the fabric or stitching will actually be like. The quality at Siya's, however, felt top-notch--everything was well-made and worth the price. Another highlight was how efficient the process was. We tried on outfits, and they made adjustments on the spot, so we were able to take them home the same day. If you need more complex tailoring, you'll need to allow extra time. One outfit we considered was too long, and since we didn't have time for alterations, we chose another option--which, in hindsight, suited us even better in terms of color and fit. Parking tip: The store shares a small parking lot with an Indian grocery store. If the lot is full, there's free two-hour parking just across the street on Ninth Street, half a block north of University. Overall, this was a fantastic experience. The service, selection, and quality exceeded my expectations. If I ever need more Indian clothing for a wedding or special occasion, I'll definitely be back. Highly recommend! Note: We found this store on Yelp--it was the second non-sponsored listing, and since the first one was permanently closed, we really lucked out. This store turned out to be a fantastic find! Interestingly, Siya is ranked as the top Indian clothing store on Google Reviews. read more

Siya - Siya bag - Women's Clothing Near Me - Berkeley, California

Fun shopping! I asked for every-day cotton and that's exactly what she first showed me, determined my best size for every manufacturer. When she saw me eyeing things that were just a little extra-ordinary, with no pressure at all, she brought me everything similar to what was delighting me. She was an awful lot of fun and I'm crazy about every one of my purchases. read more

I checked out a few stores to find an outfit for a wedding, and Siya was the only store where I found a few options that I liked (and within price range). They were very helpful and patient with me as I tried on several outfits. Ultimately I left the store wanting to think on it some more, and didn't feel any pressure to make a purchase. I was able to land on a decision that night and came back the next day to make my purchase! read more

This place is absolutely the best prices and quality. It has gorgeous modern styles for both men and women. I came in very desprate need of an outfit for my sister's wedding that is happening two days from now. My original outfit zipper broke and everything I had for it was for a particular color. I was driving through with my partner and we stopped off originally to another store but I luckily stopped to peer inside Siya. I ended up getting styled by Pranesh who is an expert stylist. I got an entirely new outfit for myself and my partner with jewelry and bangles to match. We are so happy about the experience. And of course, huge thanks to the woman at Roompam who made alterations for me in less than an hour. Thank you all so much! read more

Overall great experience! We were helped right away and with the best prices! My husband, myself and daughter needed our outfits for that weekend, and they were able to make it work! read more

I heard so many great things about this place so I was really excited to check it out the other day. The clothes were average, nothing to go home raving about, but what disgusted me the most was the customer service. The guy helping us was already being extremely rude as soon as he started helping us. I had originally booked a walk in appointment for my sister in law to find her reception dress and he said "why are you talking if she's the bride?" Umm excuse me, I'm here to help and support her?? When my SIL's older sister went to the fitting room to help her try on her dress he proceeds to say, "d*mn, give her some room" like, are you serious? He tried doing "service recovery" by offering me a shot/drinks which I proceeded to decline and tell him I wouldn't drink anything he's touched with how belittling he was. The prices and selection are okay, but I would rather take my money somewhere else. We were being as kind as possible as we know these Indian boutiques are family owned often times, but his attitude and demeanor was very ugly and I would definitely not recommend this place as long as he's here. Take your business next door where the owners and employees treat you with basic respect and kindness. We definitely found our dream dresses next door after such a terrible experience. PS- looks like the guy who helped us is the business owner to this page. I'm very disappointed in you and hope you learn to treat future customers better (pretty sure he will lose no sleep over this review and just report it as slander or fake). read more

I needed a few bridal looks for my upcoming wedding. I've been to dozens of Indian clothing stores in California and none of them compare to this one. SIYA has the best selection (including modern pieces), prices, and service. Other stores told me I would need *months* for alterations and SIYA did them in *days*! I found a dress I liked at another store that was out of my budget and SIYA had the same exact dress for less than half the cost! Pranesh is a delight to work with. He is patient, generous, and offers helpful styling advice. He helped me pick the perfect jewelry for the two bridal outfits I bought. Other sellers at nearby stores were NOWHERE near as friendly as him. I will only be going to SIYA for Indian clothing from now on! Thank you, Pranesh!! read more

Siya - An outfit I purchased - Women's Clothing Near Me - Berkeley, California

We purchased some clothing and they would not let us return the items. What kind of clothing store does not allow returns? There was absolutely warning posting or even a verbal message regarding this store policy. We were told the warning is on the receipt. This is completely inadequate. What good is this information after the garments were purchased. I would very much like to return the garments and remove this review off Yelp. read more

Didn't get anything but loved the curated collection and the super friendly owner. I will go back and look for outfits for myself!

My fiancé and I had an absolutely amazing experience at SIYA while purchasing Indian attire for our upcoming wedding. We had last minute plans to incorporate my family's side Indian culture into our American ceremony (my fiancé is not Indian). Everything worked out perfectly. My fiancé felt and looked like a prince on our wedding day! He had never worn Indian attire before and didn't know what to expect, but loved every moment of the experience. Pranesh, the store owner, made us feel so welcome and did not waste any time to get us exactly what we were looking for. He flawlessly matched my lehenga, all jewelry and accessories, plus a coordinating Sherwani suit for my fiancé in no time at all. Shopping for Indian apparel can be time consuming, but we found exactly what we were looking for in less than 30 minutes, but would have stuck around all day with all the fun we were having with the friendly staff. Whether you're searching your own Indian wedding/reception outfit, or a attending an Indian party as a guest for the first time--stop by SIYA. You'll be so glad you did and you will look stunning!! read more

We went to Siya over the weekend. Great selection and customer service! We purchased three exquisite pieces! I will most definitely be returning! Highly recommend this place! read more

After going to every Indian clothing store in the Bay Area, I have to say that SIYA has the most reasonable prices, quality, and fun shopping experience! Right when you enter, you will notice the store has a luxurious interior and amazing scent. The walls are lined with so many unique, modern, & "instagrammable" outfits. I'm usually very picky, but I have to honestly say every single outfit in the store is gorgeous! The store is appointment-based and the service fantastic. The owner (Pranesh) gives you his full attention and is very helpful in making honest suggestions. During my last visit, he was very friendly and patient with me and my entire family. We will be back! read more

Shopping from Siya again and again makes me visit here more often. Such a lovely collection!

I had my wedding back in April and Pranesh went above and beyond working with my fiancé and I as well as our families on helping us find the best outfits for all our events. He remained patient and professional and gave his honest opinion. I really enjoyed working with Pranesh and recommend Siya for your next event. read more

I got great service from this store. We got our outfits tailored and even shipped to a area close to us! Thank you Siya

I have been scouring the Bay Area in search of a lehenga for prom for MONTHS. While on a visit to Berkeley, I decided to make a spontaneous visit to Siya for a quick look around the store. Upon entering, I found that the owner was super kind and helped me look through a wide variety of lehenga to match my taste. After trying on a few, I was able to find THE one. It's so beautiful, the embroidery is delicate and high-quality. Also, the owner was able to help me get it custom-tailored within 15 minutes (since the lehenga already fit me pretty well). Overall, this was such a great experience, I will definitely think of Siya the next time I am in search of a high-quality Indian dress. read more

Really great and stunning selections. Highly recommend to go here you will not be disappointed

i've been in the store many times before there's this really nice guy who works here. But this time something unusual happened. when me and my mother entered the store, the man who usually works here was helping out a client I believe, and there was a lady standing next to them right as we entered, she started to stare at my mother, very strangely, like we entered her house instead of a clothing store. My mother is an elder lady, and she was just looking at clothes right in front of her. but this lady was so caught up and focused on my mother, that I was about to ask her "is everything OK?" But before I said anything, she asked my mom, "what are you looking for?" my mom innocently replied that she's looking to match something with her dress. and then the lady replied," we have nothing like that here you can go to the stores next-door."to which I replied, we're just here to look around can we look? to the girls around her replied yes, "of course you can look". honestly, it got so awkward to a point that just being in the store was a very uncomfortable experience. That lady with the round face and short hair, she has no logic of how to approach customers? especially elderly people? seriously shame on her for that! but anyways this is a pretty new store, and the stores next-door are nearly 20 years older, and everyone that works in the other stores around this store are extremely respectful and kind. who treated my mother with a lot of respect, even if they did not have what she was looking for. read more

My sister, mom and I needed outfits for a family wedding on a very tight timeline and we had such a positive experience here with Pranesh and his team. Prices were reasonable, great variety of options and we were able to get everything we needed! Super appreciate the positive experience when it can be so overwhelming to find good quality Indian clothes on a tight timeline! read more

I went over to this boutique for my sister's wedding reception outfit. The service was outstanding! The clothes were exquisite! Will definitely be coming back here! read more

I was in Berkeley and just entered Siya's. The guy owner didn't come across as very friendly, I was looking at Jewelery and he rudely said, we are by appointment only but I let you walk in. I wasn't aware they were appt only. He acted like he was doing me a big favor by showing me few pieces of Jewelery. Please lock your door or be polite with all your customers who walk in , you don't know how much business they can bring you, Be kind, it's contagious. Thank you! read more

I was in Berkeley looking for a Diwali outfit and I stumbled upon Siya. Although they're appointment only, they let me in anyways to look around. Right away, I noticed their customer service was fantastic-- probably the best I've ever experienced at an Indian boutique. I bought the most gorgeous lehenga that I can't wait to wear for Diwali! Not only do they have a stunning selection, but they are very accommodating and their customer service is A1. I highly recommend Siya for absolutely all of your Indian wear needs. read more

Had an amazing experience with Siya in finding my bridal reception outfit! I was looking for a white lengha; within minutes of my first time in there I had found exactly what I was looking for, with great from the owner including customizing the top to another modern style. Found the outfit in late January and by early April it was there and ready to go; they also tailored the top to a perfect fit. Couldn't be happier with the experience, highly recommend checking them out! read more

I came to Siya a few weeks ago to look for an outfit for a wedding. Pranesh went above and beyond to fit us in early in the morning even though he had a tight schedule with appointments. It was most definitely the best and most stress-free and fun shopping experience I've had as he was super attentive, had a phenomenal fashion sense, and was so willing and eager to help me find an outfit that was in my budget. He even had the alterations done right there and then. I bought a dazzling light green lehenga that I am so excited to wear. I'm most definitely bringing my sister back here and I'll be back before all the other weddings I attend in the future! Thank you Siya for a wonderful experience! read more

Great selection of modern outfits! The owners were very helpful and got our clothing altered right away
