‎اِتَّقِ اللہَ. Scammers. Top floor, middle floor you name it. Initially went on a hunt for Gissah perfumes (I did end up finding original ones nearby in madinah). The ones sold at Taiba shopping centre esp top floor is all fake. They lied in the name of our Lord. Can you imagine the audacity. I was adamant something was off because one of the scent names such as “Imperial Valley” was written on all of the bottles that they were claiming were different scents - like the scent La Luna, they said was the bottle with the name Imperial Valley. My fault for believing “the packaging is new and different”. It literally didn’t have the logo, the name on the box etc. but they were claiming it’s real and it costs lots of money. They even said, search the cost of Qissah! We did manage a discount regardless. We bought fake sunglasses too, in the UK it would’ve been £10-15 but here it was around £40 - for used, faulty shades. In the land our Prophet ‎ﷺ resides in, they lied. They have no ‎اِتَّقِ اللہَ despite saying they’re from Syria and Madinah. If they said it was fake, no problem, would’ve bought it. However, a shop with staff from my home country did admit these lot even his shop don’t sell real Gissah perfumes. Honesty is so expensive and it shows. If I could go and get refunds I would, since it was my mums money wasted. But they don’t care. They said if we can buy gold for our hands we can also buy this. Ridiculous businessmen, anyone with sense would know that buying gold is an investment. Buying counterfeit items on the other hand is a waste. I only took a picture of the second scam because I didn’t realise until later that we got robbed at the first shop (but it’s on the top...

Would’ve gave this place a zero star, I spent a lot of money in here(fuloos), then went to order some food @Mcdonalads as my small children were hungry and their legs were hurting. So I told my children to sit down, a little boy security comes out and tries to scare my children telling them to get up & Move! The Taiba security guard thought they had no Mahram (no guardian). When I approached him he told me he was POLICE! You are not a police officer, you are a coward security guard who can only show aggressions towards the children. When I said come round the corner and we deal with this like Men, he went back inside and sat down.

As I was quite a frequent customer of taiba shopping mall and food court, I asked the McDonald manager to call the Taiba supervisor/Manager! Then the security guard came back out and says NO ENGLISH haha but he was fluent in english 5minutes ago.

The police were saying sorry to me and my kids but this arrogant security guard didn’t, so that’s why I want Taiba higher authorities to know, is this behaviour acceptable by your security staff, when customers like my self spend a lot of money in your establishment?

I will be emailing your head office if I don’t get an apology from your security guard on behalf of my children.

All the shops and staff are so nice @Taiba then why do Taiba hire imbecile security guards?

It’s the security guard sitting...

The only things that i liked were the way that Faisalabadi Guy on the shop dealt and their Good Variety of Dates.... We brought three kind of Dates; Ajwa, Sukri and Amber, but were cheated in Amber's Quality....

I don't know if its a cheating or a mistake, but people told us that shopkeepers do cheat sometimes by mixing bad quality Dates with Good Ones and we had that experience of being cheated.....

So, as per my recent experience, i would not recommend it or if you go there then...
