Shyam India's Finest Flavors — Local services in Antwerp

This is the third time we’ve had a disappointing experience with products from this store.

The first issue was with a mehndi/henna cone, which turned out to be full of chemicals. It left stains on my hand that wouldn’t come off for two weeks and even damaged my skin.
