The Good Stuff
Kidswear
Customers found the children’s range varied, with helpful assistance locating outfits and baby sizes.
Sale value
A summer sale was praised for making suit fabric quality and prices especially affordable.
Fit guidance
Several reviews describe patient help with suit cuts, fabrics, sizing and graduation outfits.
Branch checks
One customer said staff checked another branch when the required size was unavailable locally.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check returns. Before ordering online, check the return process and fees; one customer could not find a return option on the website.
Keep references. Keep the package and booking details until the order is settled, as one review says the booking reference appeared only on the package.
Ask other branches. If your size is missing, ask whether another branch can be checked; a customer was directed to Deira City Centre for stock.
Check labels. Compare the ticket price with the till price before paying, after a customer found a 100 AED discrepancy on trousers.
Avoid rushes. Allow extra time at busy periods: one customer reported a 20-minute queue and unclear line management.

The Bottom Line
Next’s Al Barsha branch is now closed, so these reviews are useful mainly as a record of what the store was known for. Historically, shoppers came for formal men’s suits, tuxedos and children’s clothing. Suit buyers often mentioned soft fabric, a good fit and sale pricing, while parents liked the range of kids’ and baby clothes.
The in-store experience could be very hands-on when the right assistance was available. Reviews describe patient help with choosing a suit cut, fabric, size or graduation outfit, and one shopper said staff checked another branch when the required size was unavailable. That makes the historical store sound more useful for occasionwear than for browsing a particularly broad gents’ range; one customer found few general men’s options despite the strong formalwear selection.
Online shopping drew sharper criticism. Customers reported a 20 AED delivery fee, a further 20 AED return fee and no exchanges, while another return involved a 25 AED deduction and a difficult Aramex label process. Website usability and missing booking details were also concerns.
Older in-store reviews mention long queues, confusing checkout lines and a ticket-price discrepancy on trousers. If considering another Next branch or its website, check current opening status, stock, prices and return terms before travelling or ordering.
