I discovered Meenal Indian Fashion in 2010 when I needed some classy Indian outfits for an upscale family wedding. Not having traveled back home to Delhi for many years, I was desperate. Thanks to Google, I discovered Meenal and there has been no turning back since. In her gentle manner, Meenal put in a lot of effort. She updated me about the current Indian fashions and chose the best outfits for my persona but within my budget constraints. Now each time there is an occasion, I don't even bother to check elsewhere such is my faith in her selections and equally important her expertise. Not only does she have an amazing selection of the latest Indian outfits she also has a full stock of accessories to put together an entire ensemble. Some of my best pieces of Indian fashion jewelry that are classy and look authentic are from Meenal's. She is even able to help you with your minor alterations by connecting you to a seamstress. It's a one stop shop!
Additionally, one gets exceptional customer service especially if you have made an appointment. Not only does one get the owner's undivided attention but one also receives honest feedback and amazing stylistic recommendations that Meenal never pushes on you but gently suggests. You are not left on your own unless you prefer it that way. Sometimes she will even dissuade you from purchasing an outfit that she feels is not flattering on you. So, It's not all about sales for this lady. She actually takes pride in her work and wants her clients to look their best.
Needless to say, I received many compliments at that family wedding and it's been the same story each time I have worn her clothes. I have recommended Meenal to many family and friends and they are all now this boutique's regular customers like me. Best testimony is that recently at my own son's wedding- I purchased many outfits for all the important ceremonies as the mother of the groom and each outfit was a hit. Meenal's Indian Fashion is definitely a hidden gem in Northern VA. With her very reasonable prices, excellent selections from tasteful Saris, gowns, lehngas, churidars, you name it, that are constantly updated almost on a weekly basis from top businesses in India and extraordinary professionalism with a personal touch, Meenal's is hands down a top-notch place to shop for Indian attire, men included. But in all honesty, I haven't shopped for men so best call and check with Meenal. Believe me, I have not only tried other local stores, in fact, such is my faith in her integrity to make me look good, that I even left without buying from shops in the famous Edison, NJ Indian market only to come back to Meenal to prepare me for my son's wedding last month. I was not disappointed. And I am really picky as Meenal can vouch. Highly recommend this business which is why I am putting in this time and effort to provide a detailed review. It is indeed very...
Read moreAfter going to almost every desi clothing shop in the area, I had begun to loose hope that we would ever find a place that has both great quality clothes and great prices. All the places we had visited had okay quality and really high prices (especially considering the quality you were getting). That was until we came to Meenals! Firstly, we live a bit far from this area but we call the owner and she was able to make time for us to come browse. Not only that but once we went inside all the dresses here were exponentially more beautiful than the ones we had seen everywhere else. The owner have us tips about what was in style what would go well with what and at no time did I feel like I was being pushed to buy anything (all other stores were a bit pushy). In the end we actually ended up getting more clothes than what we were going to get because the prices were that good! Next time there’s an event we know exactly...
Read moreI can't recommend Meenal's highly enough! I bought 2 saris (see pictures - one blue and one turquoise) as the mother of the bride, a blue sherwani for my son (also pictured), and a kurta for my brother a few months ago. The shopping experience was better than any other shop I have went to for Indian Fashion. Meenal and her Husband are so kind and do not pressure you to buy. Their prices are reasonable and they have very beautiful pieces. I am so grateful to her for helping me find such beautiful items for my daughter's wedding day! Who needs to go to India or Jersey when you have Meenal's right here in Northern Virginia? I have already referred one of my friends and she purchased 2 lovely lehengas. Meenal's is definitely worth...
