    The oriental Plaza has been open since 1974, it has always been the place to go for items that are needed from suits or evening gowns to everyday household items. For years this has been a place to shop, where deals can be found. All stores are private owned and no chain store so you get that extra detailed service when going. Do note that they are not open on a Sunday and that they close between 12 and 1 P.m daily as most stores close for lunch. Great place to spend the day and you have to try out Just Samoosa’s for lunch.

    My husband has been to the Oriental Plaza many times before, but I came with to a conference in Johannesburg and wanted to see the Plaza for myself. This mall is massive!! As luck would have it, we just arrived at the mall and then loadshedding struck! We had to climb up and down the escalators. Most of the shops closed because of the loadshedding but a few had little lights in the shop which was really not enough. I bought what was supposed to be a black scarf in one of the shops which had one light operating. When I got to the hotel, it was a navy blue and not a black scarf!😅 We bought some lovely gifts to take back home as well as my now favourite slip-on takkies and some leather bags. Outside of the mall there are numerous stalls selling mostly food and cellphone accessories. The food was really delicious and cheap. We had a lovely time browsing through the various shops and stalls but when we had to leave, we couldn’t find our way back to the car. Luckily one of the security guards who obviously knows the mall well, helped us find our way. A word of advice, take notice where you park your car and which entrance you use. Can be quite daunting getting lost here.

    Loved the lots of options to choose from. And at a reasonable price. I loved to see covid protocall in place. Sanitised shoppers in every store we went to.

    There has been a great improvement since the last time I visited this place. This time it was more cleaner and had no bad smell. My overall service was great, it's just that I got there around 12h00 so because there is a lot muslims shops so some shops were closed for prayers so I had to wait until until they were back. But some shops were still operating. And when I got there there was loadsheding but the shops were operating, they have back up generators. So don't worry about loadsheding, that won't stop shops from operating. They even have Uber drop off area if you are using Uber, there is a dedicated area for Uber. At the gate you get a ticket and you pay for it, I think I paid about R10 for less than hour because it was weekend, so they charge more. If you found this comment helpful, please like it and follow me for me reviews.

    Great place for homeware and clothing. Quite a lot of bargains in a lot of shops. Quality of some stuff is relative to how much you wan to spend. Parking at the right spot can be tricky because the mall is huge. Parking charges are not that hectic.

    This is a really nice centre's. One of few that do so much to light up for Christmas. Many closed businesses, that was disappointing. The centre' is super clean and spacious. Really great shops. Still good restaurants, sadly some of my favorites closed down. The effect of Covid 19 was clearly visible. A number of new shops in the centre's not on Google yet. See sweetshop called 1959 and hobby shop racing called 33 Brad Bidden

    A variety of stores found here! There are shoes galore, jewellery stores, lots of fabric and curtain stores, takeaway eateries, crockery and cutlery stores, clothing, linen and decor and all at incredible prices. It's my go to stop for Men's and women's shoes. Also great outlets for traditional Indian garments. The weekdays are fairly quiet but Saturday after 10am is really busy so parking can be a little chaotic. Definitely worth the drive.

    Dr. Cohen is probably the worst Dentist I have ever come across. Did a crown over a rotten tooth was one incident. Gave him another chance, did a filling, 2 and a half weeks later and still in more pain than before the filling. Never really willing to help solve a problem. Will never go back!

    Dental practice non existent or just too arrogant to attend to patients. Today's story was that one dentist is off sick, the other works until 1pm, the other just doesn't take walk ins. Really not on for such a big brand.

    Wow massive mall. So clean and well looked after. Loved all the shoe shops. Insane selection of shoes. Very friendly and helpful shop owners. Loads of parking. Benches to sit on and have a snack from the food vendors when you need a rest from shopping.

  • 3/5 Amanda N. 2 years ago on Google
    There are a lot of shops but they all sell very similar things; suits, traditional Indian attire, shoes, curtains and the odd tech shop. The area is very clean and neat and the facilitate quite modern. They accept card payments, have multiple card machines and even an FNB Branch on the premises. Parking is also very secure.

    Every second shop either sells curtains material or suits and so expensive. I will never go there again it was a waste of our time. The best part of the outing was the chip and dip and slushy shop, clean cheap and delicious. If you're looking for curtains and suits and you know how to bargain then maybe the Plaza is for you. Sorry just my honest opinion not meant to be nasty maybe you will like it. 😊

    Always ask for a discount at this mall Many people in this mall, some aren't shoppers they are criminals operating in groups, they are busy checking for weak targets. keep your car locked and double check if it's properly locked , Thieves operate here but security guards are also there. keep your handbag on your front side and never leave it unattended. Keep your mobile phones hidden.

  • 5/5 Zuwani N. 1 year ago on Google
    A good place to get anything, from clothes, shoes, curtains, rugs/mats, fabric etc. Theres a variety of shops so you can be able to compare different prices and different quality. It is relatively safe with visible security all over. Parking is very scarce so the the earlier you get there the better. Always try negotiating, you'd be surprised at how much "discount" you can get Overall a good place to shop for clothes for any occasion

  • 4/5 Ash M. 1 year ago on Google
    Really great shop options for formal wear, suits, evening dresses, evening dresses, Indian traditional wear, sewing material and supplies, wedding table decor, shoes, fancy hats, jewellery, outfit accessories like brooches and white lace umbrellas, household items, toys, curtains (ready made or pick material and place an order to have them made there for collection). In between you have lovely places selling samoosas, pies, chip and dip as well as drinks. There is an ATM within and more than one option to choose from. Just note that there is an hour, 1-2pm whereby shops are closed temporarily in line with religious prayer rights. But you can still window shop or return later or start your day there.

    A vibrant convergence of Eastern and South African influences at Johannesburg's Oriental Plaza. Amidst its diverse shops featuring traditional textiles etc. you'll also find an exceptional curtain. Beyond shopping, indulge in the culinary delights, particularly at the outstanding samosa shopl. The Plaza's lively atmosphere and friendly service make it a unique destination, seamlessly blending cultural exploration, practical shopping, and a flavorful culinary experience.

    I've been visiting this place for years. It's a nice place to get all sorts of fabrics, curtains, clothing and food. If you're in search of gathering some fabrics to make a dress or get a custom tailored suit made for you then you'll find plenty of shops with reasonable prices. I also used to visit this place to purchase firecrackers. It still seems to be the same as it was years ago. Not much has changed. A lot of the shops are quite similar, so I'm removing points for not enough variety. It just feels like everyone is selling the same thing.

    As a once-off customer who doesn't know the business hours I was surprised that shops don't display their opening times. When I eventually got to visit the stores I'd wanted to, it was business as usual - some good deals, some iffish questionable quality, and some great products. A few of the stores WILL NOT pass muster when the fire department visits the centre. No chance that there are occupation certificates or fire clearances for some of the stores. Food offerings are good.

    What used to be a shopper’s paradise has become a go to for fabric and shoe shoppers. This place needs a wider variety of stores and perhaps a decent sit down restaurant. Also bathrooms are a long walk from any shops.

    Oriental Plaza is a place where you can get value for money products from flowers to pets, from towels to bed sheets to curtains, from ties to suites to leather jackets. It's a must visit place if you are in need of ready-made products for your wedding or any other occasion in your family. I love this market with plenty of parking, good clean space and good amenities. Thanks

    You need the whole day and must be willing to walk around a bit as most shops stock the same things but difference I'm pricing will be R100 or so. There is a variety of everything from kitchen to bedroom. Everything is well priced, you can score a bargain. Just go there early

    One of the few golden oldies shopping bizaars with a variety of reasonably priced stores. Could do with a revamp. Security are full of nonsense though, very unfriendly and unwelcoming, making you feel as if they doing you a favour. But other than that an awesome experience but definitely not an every day experience.

    What used to be a buzzing place to get good food, affordable clothing and everything thing oriental had lost its life and flare post covid, everything is still there for purchase but a darkness looms over what used to be a buzzing friendly lively environment.

    Depends where you shop. At one shop owned by Salim we bought 5 suites. It took Salim 3 attempts to get 2 suites properly tailored, and 1 suite he destroyed. I went to the shop next door and bought a replacement suite. 45 minutes later it was perfect. Salim stillnowes me R1400 after a week!

    If you are looking for a suit, this is the place to go. Different styles and colors and materials. A number of shoe shops too. Prices are also good but often need to be negotiated because some stores I think take chances with what they charge. But shop around if you go here. Many stores have similar products and their prices vary quite a bit.

  • 4/5 Brad M. 2 years ago on Google
    If you have never been to the Plaza you haven't truly experienced Johannesburg. Get there early and browse around. It's my go to place for suits. I found my wedding suit in one shop tucked at the back after almost giving up. I was made to feel like part of the family and they were excited for our wedding. It's a pity they no longer exist. When you are done, visit World of Samoosas for something to eat. You will not regret it

I love decorating flops and selling/gifting, so at Oriental Plaza, there are shops there where you'll find all sorts of little decorative stones, pearls and so much more. Also, I can never go there without stopping for the best samoosas I've ever had there.

  • 5/5 Triveni p. 2 years ago on Google

    Going tomorrow and I am so excited about that. Will take a lot of photo's. I haven't been there for many years and the Oriental Plaza has expanded exponentially. It is absolutely amazing and I still say and believe the Oriental Plaza in Fordsburg, Johannesburg is the place to be for sure. One shopping experience that has never let anyone down who visits there. I love the area there as well. See you lovely people there tomorrow nè?! 😁🌟👑

    Visibility of different ATMs is poor The neatest even the toilets Lots of parking Duplicate shops,don't be lazy to shop around for a discount from different vendors with same merchandise Don't forget daily Muslim prayer times will affect your shopping

  • 4/5 Anita N. 1 year ago on Google

    Centrally located in Fordsburg, ample parking, wide selection of shops ranging from curtaining and fabrics to designer eastern and western wear, kitchenware, linen and luggage. Prices are competitive and discounts negotiable. There are paraplegic ramps and escalators. Security is visible throughout. You have to buy samosas while you are there.

  • 4/5 GV K. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice shopping mall for affordable eastern and western wear for kids, women and men. Some shops accept card swiping and some accept only cash payments. So carry cash or ATM’s are available in the plaza

  • 4/5 IZYCRAFTS 1 year ago on Google
    Very fond memories of this place with my family.. many have passed and so unfortunately so have some Shop owners and their fam sold their shops and its really not the same like before. That feeling is lost. But there are still some favorites like Docrats and Mangeras. Moosa Job buyers.. just samosas.. the Samoosa Kiosk is still there with the boot and shoe shop.. Bhamjee shoes and many more.. Regal Jewelers and Bobby in Grand Bazaar entrance are there.. the shoemaker must have passed because his son overcharges when he sees the make of the shoe.. Pirus moved .. Mayers looks like they closing down.. not sure.. the old souvenier shop is now a Perfume shop atleast the son made the place awesome with exquisite all brands genuine perfumes..ok I can go on forever.. but thats it for now

    No back up power for the mall. Was there during load shedding. 80% of the shops were closed ( also it was Friday prayer time, so that may also have contributed to most of the shops closed for trade)

    One of the oldest Muslim communities in SA. Formed way back when I was not even born. This place is under construction and boost so many place where you can eat in and outside the plaza. Good vibes on the weekends alway perked though make to come early to find parking. Shop for Indian inspired jewelry, bags, clothes, and more. Bank, shop for fabric patterns, and more. Very affordable too. It definitely the community that supports and stands together.

  • 4/5 Lucinda S. 1 year ago on Google
    I feel that they should consider more testing places for the senior citizens. I observed staff placing packets on the seats available for friends coming to lunch leaving patrons standing in the sun. I don't mind normally but when it's a 80 something year old it leaves a sour taste in the mouth

  • 3/5 Teresa B. 1 year ago on Google
    Lots and lots of stores selling ladies and mens evening wear. Will definitely visit again when we are looking for evening wear. The kiosk in the centre in open area selling samoosas was disappointing. It had no taste. I used to buy from them all the time but definitely a no no.

    There are various options for clothing, home appliances and decorations. Items are reasonably priced for the quality on display. It has grown from strength to strength as they have increased the number of shops and strolls. Still not happy about having to pay money in order to access the RESTROOMS over above having paid for PARKING.

    A good one stop shopping experience when looking for especially formal wear for i.e weddings. The best place to shop for curtains. Good material choices if you are a dressmaker. Clean, friendly environment makes for good shopping experience. As in any shopping centre and its parking areas: be aware of criminal activity.

    This place is much improved. From the parking to the cleanliness. However the is a lack of diversity in the types of shops. If you aren’t looking for curtains, formal wear or luggage you may be disappointed

    A nice familiar smell. Trade and goods. Lots of beautiful items and delicious food. For the crafty housewife visit Honey Bee for you baking catering and weddings stuff.

  • 4/5 Busisiwe M. 4 months ago on Google
    Got beautiful curtains at a shop called Global Curtains and Seasonal curtains. I'm happy with them. When you are there be mindful of your calculations, compare prices from different stores do your shopping with no rush. When you do that you'll get the best prices. Count your change well and calculate well too there are chancers there if you are too excited they will rob you of change or charge you more. Check if your receipt matches what you calculated.
