Tips for a Better Visit
Check Status. Confirm the branch is open before going: several customers found it closed, including a January 2024 visit.
Shop Sales. If visiting another branch, look for sale periods; customers said a 40 AED item once dropped to 12 AED.
Allow Time. For exchanges, avoid peak periods if possible and allow extra time; one customer waited 25–30 minutes.
Check Tags. Verify the price on the shelf and at checkout, since one review reported mismatched tags.
Compare Branches. For a wider selection, consider another branch: a customer specifically found this branch less varied than BurJuman.

The Bottom Line
Matalan was a value-oriented department store in Mirdif, with reviews covering everyday clothing for adults and children. Customers mentioned kids clothes, ladies’ casual wear, sandals, nightwear, underwear and shoes, while the business description also positioned it as a place for family fashion and homewares under one roof. That said, the Mirdif City Centre branch should not be treated as an operating store now.
The clearest issue is closure. Reviews posted from August 2023 through January 2024 repeatedly say the branch had shut, with one customer told it had already been closed for three months and another calling it permanently closed. Check current branch information before making the trip; the listing itself may not have been updated.
Historically, shoppers liked the clothing quality, age range and sale offers. One review says a children’s T-shirt could cost 20 drhm during a discount, while another describes a 40 AED item bought for 12 AED during a special offer. Service was mixed: some staff were described as helpful and cooperative, but exchanges and refunds could take 25–30 minutes or more.
Incorrect price tags, long queues and limited variety compared with BurJuman were also reported. If you are redirected to another branch, verify stock, prices and the returns process before paying.
