Kalashri

Loved it and my son too!

Meh. As other reviewers have stated, prices are exorbitant. Some things that aren’t listed will leave you feeling like you are back in India haggling over prices. Sari prices are 4 times higher than anyone can imagine. A lot of their clothes are extremely overpriced. I can’t imagine the overhead cost for that place is that expensive.
As for quality, a lot of the items that are already overpriced are diminished even further by the quality of stitching. The owner seems civil, but seems keen on getting a sale. If you need something from India I would say order offline. The quality and the price for a lot of the items are crazy high. Also the fact that you can negotiate prices makes me wonder how they are so high in the first place.
Otherwise it’s not a horrible place to look, as for pricing, it is wayyyyyy higher than it should be.

Liked it But very EXPENSIVE
I bought 3 chuddithaars here. The dress is good and gives a grand look. But it is very very very expensive. My 3 chuddithaars are $ 180, $ 190 and $ 110. My husband have taken 2 dresses from this shop and gave for birthday as a surprise gift. As it is a gift, he havent told me anything about the price. The dress was looking so beautiful and i loved it. But for a special occasion when i asked him to bring me there, i was really shocked of looking the price of each dresses. After inquiring to my hubby got to know the price.
I loved the dress collections they got but we cannot afford such cost for 1 chuddithar. Also they have got few Kurtha collection which i will never recommend to anyone. They dont look so good but the cost is $ 50 and above. It’s little bit ok to give such cost to chuddithar for its look but never for a low quality plain kurtha.
I can recommend this shop but look for ur finance also… :)

The owner is kind and very polite, beautiful authentic items. Bed spreads, materials, clothes, statues and very reasonable prices, I highly recommend this place and who doesn’t like spending money on something and feeling good about who it’s going to? Nice people!!!

I think the previous reviewer missed the economics of the situation. Yes, a saree here may run about $ 200, considerably more expensive than in India. However, factoring in the air fare to India, it’s relatively a bargain to shop here if you happen to be in NC. The quality of their garments is quite good, and they have a wide selection. The staff was very helpful, assisting us in finding what we needed for an upcoming event.

We ventured into Kalashri in search of a carrom board. What we found are tons of murtis (idols) of Hindu gods, clothing, most of which was terribly expensive and marked hundreds of dollars above the price of these goods in India. Sarees are $ 200+. Blouses that should be $ 20 are priced at $ 50+. Casual dresses in cute Indian prints are priced well beyond my price points. I figure I’ll just buy all these things in India and bring them back, saving hundreds of dollars.
There is a lot of jewelry on the counter, bangles and earrings, pendants and necklaces. Most of the jewelry I also found to be expensive.
The carrom board? As compared with the carrom boards available sporadically at Triangle India Market and VGS, the carrom board available at Kalashri is $ 40 to $ 50 more in price. While it is a nice carrom board, it is certainly a pricey game, when you consider that you can buy a decent cricket bat or a Wii for $ 50 more.
We’re still looking for a great little Indian bazaar. If we find one, you’ll find our review here.
