This is a wonderful shop, set just behind Varkala Beach hotels and night market stalls. If you are looking for a well made and fairly priced pashmina or scarf then this is the place to go. The owner will bring you coffee whilst you make your choice, he doesn't hassle and will leave you to make up your own mind... More

Since Shalimar Weaves had 100% Excellent reviews on Trip Advisor I was really excited to go there. It was a very nice shop, the owner was sweet, and the prices seemed fair.

To shop in arelaxed atmosphere, no haggling and dealing with superior products was such a relief . No hard sell, and great customer service.

Since reading the excellent reviews on the Shalimar shop here, I decided to visit it. Did not regret it! I love the quality of the fabrics, and that you can find a lot of different single-coloured pashminas, as I am not that into patterns. Shalimar John is a friendly and modest guy who will let you look at the shawls... More

Sebastian E. from Vienna: If you are in Varkala for whatever reason you have to find time to drop a visit to Mr. Zahoor's shop. I have not seen any better equipped shop regarding shawls, scarfs etc. in Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. The price range has a wide span such that everybody will find something that fits his or...
