Discovered later that M'zuri Sana - the internet tells me it means 'very fine', but I'm sure I was given a different (and better sounding) interpretation of this Swahili phrase at the store - is a chain founded by a person from Jodhpur, with stores in many cities. That was surprising, but more surprising was the variety of merchandise that was on display, from lampshades to garments. Quite a nice range to look at - and the people at the store let you take your time.
I will be back there soon, even though I have a crib about the store. With a name like M'zuri Sana, one walks in expecting to take back something distinctly African. But every one of the items is robustly Indian in design - and all of them have been crafted at M'zuri Sana's Jodhpur workshops!
looks like a restaurant entrance :)
ReplyDeletesay, u carry around ur digicam? or is this from a cell? :-)
ReplyDeleteand how do i pronounce the name?
So do they sell all sorts of things?
ReplyDelete>> Magiceye>> Hmmm, yes. But they'd have had a different name. Cuisine from Africa is yet to make a mark in Chennai... how about Mumbai?
ReplyDelete>> CB>> Yes, I do carry around my camera. And you pronounce the name - with a lot of difficulty!
>> Kris>> Quite a range - enough for the wife to want more return trips.
Be it African or Indian, the orange color makes it a very inviting looking store.
ReplyDelete>> Ming>> Yes, it sure does. (Not that I need too much invitation now, anyway) :)
ReplyDeleteMmmm… sounds like my kind of store!
ReplyDelete>> Hilda>> Am sure you won't come away from it soon!
