Honestly, for what it is, Tanforan is surviving. It is a place of so much history that a lot of…read moreus don't even know. I've been told it used to be a racetrack, Japanese American internment camp, to name a few. It's hard to believe this place has so much history but can look so abandoned on the outside. This was where I had my first job working at Miller's Outpost / Anchor Blue. That's when it used to be a very alive mall then, with the super cheap double show movie theater. The good old days when life was much simpler and we weren't glued to cell phones, lol. I could've sworn I read somewhere a while back this place was sold, and it was going to be like a biotech/ apartment in like 5 years or so. I could be wrong. Like most malls now, it's mostly all about food. I believe they still do off the grid here every Tuesday. For what it is, it's still a cool place to just walk around, catch a movie, and get a bite to eat.

We've tried shopping at multiple places by now: for the selection and quality that Akarshan offers, you will pay at least 2-3 times as much at other shops. We are very happy. We had their full, undivided attention the entire time, and they were extremely helpful in helping us find exactly what we were looking for. I tried on at least 6 suits, and they brought out so many more based on my requirements, before I finally settled on one. They were extremely kind and patient. I wish them all the best and we'll be back again in the future with all our friends!

Five stars is not enough stars…read more My wife and I walked into Akarshan Designs on San Mateo Ave in San Bruno needing outfits for our close friends' wedding and having absolutely no idea what we were doing. We knew we wanted to look incredible. We knew nothing else. Harminder took one look at us and said "I've got you," and she was not lying. She runs the shop while her father (the founder) is in India right now celebrating his 82nd birthday in Delhi, and she runs it with the kind of warmth and expertise that makes you feel like you wandered into a family's living room where everyone happens to be extraordinarily talented at dressing people. She pulled pieces we never would have found on our own, knew immediately what worked and what didn't, and was honest in a way that made the whole experience feel collaborative rather than transactional. My wife ended up in a lavender and silver lehenga that made her look like she'd been wearing lehengas her entire life. I ended up in a royal blue sherwani that I am now looking for excuses to wear again. Harminder styled both of us with real care, adjusting details until everything sat exactly right. The collection itself is stunning. They work directly with artisans across India and it shows in the quality and the range of what's on the racks. These are not mass-produced pieces you'll see on six other people at the reception. The embroidery on my wife's outfit alone is the kind of detail that stops people mid-conversation. If you are shopping for Indian formalwear in the Bay Area, go to Akarshan Designs, ask for Harminder, and let her work. You will leave looking better than you thought possible and feeling like you made a friend. We cannot recommend this place highly enough.

I went next door to Burlington. I immediately found my size. I tried the shoes on and they fit fine. The price was reasonable. As I was paying, I noticed Loss Prevention staring at me. As soon as I paid, Loss Prevention smiled. I guess there must be a lot of stealing going on at that store, hence, Loss Prevention at the door. Overall, I had a pleasant experience and if the need arises, I will return.

There are also very few plus size clothes for sale - not sure if they aren't donated much, or just go fast, but I rarely find anything good that will fit (I visit fairly often because my pharmacy is in this shopping center and I can't resist). They recently started a rewards program with your phone number and I signed up, but the guy didn't ask for it next time I was there (I just bought a picture frame) and when I asked about it before paying, told me it was too late. Lame. Donating: They have great hours and it's easy to pull in and donate. When I went yesterday though, they wouldn't take a (fairly large) ottoman I had to donate, saying they didn't have room. They do sell furniture but I guess had an over abundance and recommended I take it to the SF location instead. No bad smells and it's clean, so that's nice! And well lit. I am sure I will keep going since it's near my pharmacy but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.
