Nawaz is the best!
Feb 2016 • Solo
Traveling around India I have been to many shops. Nawaz was someone I connected with immediately. We had a lot of conversations about everything from relationships to salesmanship. I purchased several items for myself as well as loved ones. I truly had a great experience and know that I've got a buddy for life. If you come to Varkala, see Nawaz.

Being in Varkala, you have to make sure you visit Royal Art Gallery store. Situated at the North Cliff, very easy to access with pleasant and peaceful atmosphere. At the first site you might have a feeling that this store is just like the other stores, but as everywhere in the world, at the end of the day it is all about the special people you meet...Nawaz, the owner of the store, is a very smart, wise, calm guy, who's knowledge of his products, country itself and its history is way beyond you would expect. Make sure you stop by, maybe even just for a chat, the warm welcoming smile that you will receive talks for all the words.

Cozy shop with a friendly atmosphere that makes its owner. Except for interesting souvenirs, jewelery and high-quality fabrics, you will find here a pleasant open interlocutor. It is pleasant to come for him a visit. One of the best shop in Varkala. I advise everyone to visit. Everyone will find something interesting for themselves here.:)

Feb 2016 • Friends
If you are traveling in India, you know, how important it) for a tourist to meet a honest seller and prices. I visited to India many times, but nowhere and never I had such a wonderful experience, like in Varkala in Hussain's store Royal Art Gallery.. For me, honesty, integrity and intelligence shopkeeper is important not less than the range of products. I Am client of stor for last 6 years , already. This place is a gift for everyone, who want to buy all what he/she needs in one place. From jewelry to souvenirs!

My favourite shop on the Cliff.
Jan 2015 • Solo
I have been coming to this shop for many years and there are always new designs and eye-catching pieces. The owner is knowledgeable and always makes an effort to answer my questions. The atmosphere is relaxed and I never feel pressured to make a purchase. I definitely recommend that you stop by; you won’t be disappointed.

wide range of shawls and gems
Jan 2015 • Family
This shop is a small desk of useful information about everything important for tourists. Very calm and interesting owner Nawaz advises and tells a lot about shawls and precious stones of good quality, wide choice of which you can find his store, also tells a lot about delicious and safe restaurants around, as well as historical and religious shrines in the region. For us he helped to create a of our route via Kerala state and even gaved all train schedules! He is very helpful even you dont buy anything from his shop :)

Amazing shop
Oct 2014 • Solo
By chance I found this shop in Varkala. Firstly all the shawls that I've bought are really of a good quality! They are warm and the material is good. Also I know that some jewerly which my friends bought was very beautiful and of good quality. At least the owner of the shop Navaz is very polite, friendly and open hearted person. For free he gave us a lot of good advice and information about Varkala, he helped us really a lot. Kindly recommend you shop
