The Good Stuff
Fast alterations
One customer had an XL top reduced to XS in under 24 hours, with a fit they described as perfect.
Jeans work
Customers specifically mention jeans alterations producing a very precise fit.
Dress stitching
Dress stitching and restitching reviews highlight accurate fitting and attention to detail.
Fabric choice
The showroom was noted for a good range of high-quality materials, including fabric for a new suit.
Long-term custom
Customers report returning for years, including one customer who has used the shop for over 15 years.
Emergency repair
A zipper was repaired before an 8 a.m. flight after other Barsha tailors could not help.
Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm availability. Ask whether the required machine or service is available before handing over a suit; one visitor was sent away when the machine was not working.
Confirm pricing. Get the total price agreed in advance, especially for repeat shirt orders, because one reviewer reported a higher charge for the same shirt.
Set deadlines. For specialist work such as darning, confirm the completion date and follow-up process rather than relying only on the initial promise.
Ask for speed. If timing matters, ask about an accelerated alteration: reviews mention same-day work, an under-24-hour job and a half-day suit fitting.

The Bottom Line
Threads And Tailors is a practical Al Barsha choice for made-to-measure clothing and alterations. You can bring in a suit for reshaping, commission a dress or dress shirt, or have jeans adjusted. The strongest pattern in the reviews is fit: a store-bought suit was made to look custom-tailored in half a day, while an XL top was reduced to XS in under 24 hours.
Speed is another clear draw, though it is worth confirming the promised turnaround for your particular job. Customers describe same-day and even within-the-hour alterations, plus a zipper repair completed before an early flight. Jeans, suits and dresses all receive specific praise for accurate fitting, while the showroom is noted for its fabric selection if you are planning a new suit or shirt.
There are a few cautions. One visitor was turned away because the machine was not working, and an older darning job took eight weeks rather than the promised 10 days. Another reviewer questioned a higher charge for the same shirt and felt alteration prices were steep compared with Karama or Meena Baazar.
Agree the price and deadline before leaving your garments, especially for unusual repairs.
