Reviews

  • XH Goge

Only major store is Spar then your PEP. There are no major fashion shops. And then KFC and Debonairs for a hungry stomach. Mall is wheelchair friendly. All major bank ATMS are available, plus a Capitec branch. There is also a Post office. There's a laundry service next to Capitec branch. And a taxi rank within the mall premises. Toilets are paid for, R2. The mall has security personnel on foot patrol till 22H00.

  • Mqondisi Brian Sokhulu

This place has the potential to become great. With Spar as the main dish, there's still some sauce missing. I don't know whether it's still traumatised from the recent looting, but I feel like it is no longer the same. The vibe, the feel, the people. Yes they are trying to modernise it and grow it but it just doesn't feel the same anymore.

  • J. Barz

It's sad that things had to be this way but hey, life happens. Right now Spar and Pep are running this place, even though it's not yet where it's supposed to be at infrastructurally speaking. But business is functioning. A lot of work still needs to be done though. With a lot of reconsiderations this time...

  • Nomvula Ngema

If you want to be safe from covid 19 stay away from Mega Philani Mall. People at this mall they don't wear musks, even the security guys who works at the mall some of them they don't wear their shield of honour. Even when you enter the mall there are no sanitisers, it's like covid 19 is a thing of the past.

  • Rolland Kheswa

Great customer service, the mall is still under construction with restricted areas but safe for shopping. Hoping for an even better experience once all shops are open, which I believe is soon. As we have seen with the Springfield mall opening last week, amazing offers from the shops as they well customer.

  • Philani Maxwell Latha

I don't like this mall. It empty and taxis sometimes don't wanna go here. Shops are very small. It not safe. If they can just expand it I'm sure they can have more customers and more safety. It has been re-opened for business after it was looted and shutted down. It very helpful to people living nearby.

  • Senzo Ngoza

If they can remove the sense less boom gates everything would be fine... ayahlupha lawa maBoom gates. Atleast open another entrance by the nsimbini road and have the boom gates. Kodwa iEntrance and exit njengoba iyona... really there is no need for boom gates. I love love mega philani ngkhulele khona

  • Anele Funeka

It's a small but convenient mall. It has KFC & Debonairs (which does deliveries) fast food outlets. There's a nice big & clean SPAR with fresh food, and vegetables. There PEP store and ATMS. Parking is free and spacious. There's a post office as well …

  • nonhlanhla zulu

  • Ntokozo Sithole

Its a great place just wish there were more shops but its also convenient because its so close there's lots of ATMs if you need it... And not to mention Tops for those looking to get beverages without having to travel all the way to those big malls

Philany shopping mall actually services a big a area as it in the centre Nsimbini, part of Umlazi and Malagasie with Spar, Pep, Debanoirs and KFC and few other stores making shopping experience convenient for locals.

  • Bongiwe Nzama

it's a good mall if u need something on the drive but as for the Banking system there's just ATM and note that only Capitec bank do deposits and there's not many shops and store parking is available.
