My family visited this family-owned store today and had a wonderful experience. They have a great selection of beautiful silk and cotton fabrics, in wide variety of patterns, colors and styles. The proprietors are very knowledgable and helpful, without being the least bit pushy.

Extensive range of silks. Reiterate all the positive comments made by others. Just one more to add. They do undertake to post stuff for you to your home country. A huge bonus in these days of restricted baggage allowances!

I'm hesitant to even write this review because this store is such a little gem. I was lured in by the adorable beaded and quilted cushion covers. The appropriately friendly sales girl told me there was more in the back, so I went in. No one was pushy at all. They didn't recruit me off the street or anything. I... More

The silks are absolutely wonderful here and the staff is always friendly and helpful. She even helped me locate a particular color that I'd bought in a previous trip. She encouraged me to buy the 'right' fabric and to Please make it into something. Silk should be enjoyed, not stuck in a closet. It's kept me going back to her... More

Overall the best vendor in the Arab District for silk fabric/scarves encountered.Many to choose from. The owner is pleasant and knowledgable . Not a hard sell.

This shop has walls of beautiful silks and good prices. I shopped there several times (I kept going back to buy more) September 12 & 14, 2012. The owner, Mabir, comes from a family of cloth merchants so is very knowledgable and offers suggestions for fabric combinations. The assistant, Rica, is wonderfully sweet and patient - pulling bolts of cloth... More

Thank you Mabir Singh and your staff, for your professional and helpful customer service when I bought silk for curtains. I knew about Arab street, but had not been into Mahaco Impex before. Mr Singh helped me by holding up lengths of fabric to simulate the drop of the curtain, helped me with checking estimates of length etc, and gave... More

Visited in June 2012 and checked the TA reviews before going to Arab St. They were spot on!! We went straight to Mahaco and experienced top service, honesty and friendliness. Basically made our decision then and there but we went and checked out a few other stores before committing. We were served by the tall younger guy and found he... More
