Home Visits
Measurements, fabric selection and fitting can be arranged around the home; one customer completed curtains and blinds within four days.
Remote Orders
Some customers ordered rails or blinds by phone and WhatsApp using photos and measurements, without visiting the shop.

Tips for a Better Visit
Ask Blackout. If you need a very dark bedroom, specifically ask about blackout curtains or roller blinds; reviews say they helped block strong sun.
Send Measurements. Try sending photos and measurements by phone or WhatsApp first; one customer arranged rails without visiting the shop.
Confirm Timing. Confirm the installation date and follow up if needed, as one review records a two-day delay.
Check Materials. If you can visit, inspect the fabric’s type, colour and quality before choosing; a customer valued being able to see and feel them.
Discuss Alterations. For moving or altering existing curtains, agree the scope and price in advance; one customer disputed a AED 500 charge.
Urgent Request. Mention your deadline when ordering: reviews describe urgent curtain work being accommodated and one delivery completed within two days.

The Bottom Line
MAK Curtains in Al Qusais handles made-to-measure curtains, blinds and curtain rails, with fitting arranged for the home. Customers particularly mention blackout curtains, roller blinds, Roman blinds and made-to-order rails. The useful difference is that the process can be fairly hands-off: some customers sent photos and measurements by phone or WhatsApp, while others had fabric selection, home measuring and installation arranged in one sequence.
The reviews point to a broad fabric and pattern selection, including subtle designs, and several customers were happy with the stitching, pleats and finishing. Blackout treatments are worth asking about if strong Dubai sun is the problem; one review describes a much darker room, while another says the home felt better protected from the sun and the air conditioning cooled more effectively. Installations are often described as neat, accurate and professional, with one team using a vacuum cleaner before leaving.
Speed is another recurring strength, from a two-day curtain delivery to an urgent order fitted over a weekend. Still, do not assume every appointment will run smoothly: one customer reported missing staff after travelling from Sharjah, and another faced a two-day installation delay. Confirm the visit, deadline and any alteration fee before proceeding.
Customer-reported pricing is generally described as affordable, but one review found AED 500 high for a minor alteration and installation using their own material.
