The best place for imported soaps and lotions. Ran by friendly young African American Muslims with knowledge of their products.

Ive been shopping here for about 20 years. The family who owns this shop are very welcoming and down to earth, especially the father and daughter. The items here are beautiful, very good quality, and many things are natural and hand made. They have gorgeous jewelry, great smelling oils, lotions, soaps, clothing, books, ect. I love this shop so much, that to buy my regular items, I travel all the way from Aliquippa, which is about 45 minutes away. I might be able to find similar items from some store closer to me, but theres no place like Jamils! Also, lets support all the local historic small businesses in East Liberty, including Jamils and places like it, who these big companies are trying to push out. Stores like Jamils are part of East Liberty and its history! Dont let big business push out the local/little guy! East Liberty wouldnt be the same without this place!Updated on 3/28/21- I dont get here often, but the last time I came here I asked about Jamil and was told that he had passed, which really saddened me, because he was a good person who had such a welcoming and beautiful spirit!I know his family and the community miss him! He was a good example of how people of different races and religions, can and do, get along with, help, and uplift each other.It looks to me as if his son is doing a very good job of following in his footsteps. This is a family of good people with good hearts, with a store full of gorgeous, unique, and well crafted treasures. Theres no other place around that could compare to its originality and charm! Pictured are 2 of my most recent purchases, which are pieces that were beautifully beaded and hand made in Africa.

It was an easy purchase process. The attendant was experienced, customer-centered and easy to converse with.I was disappointed, the dress I had my eye on was going to be way too long and I would need a seamstress to do alterations so it would fit properly.I did find a beautiful African skirt that had several of my favorite colors: purple, gold and green.

Family owned cultural landmark in the community providing natural skin care and fragrance products. They provide hard to find cultural and African derived clothes, clothing, supplies, literature, history resources and good vibes.Give them a visit and support this business. They are one of the few remaining organic businesses that havent been pushed out of the community.Thank you.

The concept is nice and it smells good in the store. The layout is terrible. It is cramped and hard to shop and when you do find something that you are interested in, it is incredibly over priced. If youre rich and like hipster stuff, feel free to stop in here.

I shopped at Jamils for years before I moved away from Pittsburgh. He introduced me to some of the natural products that I use today. Attempted to visit on a recent trip but the store was closed, now I know why... Very saddend to hear of his passing. Such a great loss for his family and the community.Sweet Rest Jamil!

I have been shopping at Jamils for a number of years. And this store is a true asset to the black community.We need more stores like Jamils with in communities to Educate and enlightened us on how to take care of ourselves mind, body,and spirit from the inside out. I can remember when I was a small child my grandmother and mother using natural remedies from a plant base source to treat health issues that my brothers, sisters and I would get. Now it is still wise to go to a Doctor to be diagnosed so you can know what health issues that you have so that it can be treated whether you are going to utilizing natural remedies or other wise. If you have not been to Jamils it is worth the trip.

For years I loved Jamils. Jamil was Muslim. His children who were Muslim began running things and it was still great. They had good manners. But today I called to ask if there were boys thoubs and their sister who identified herself as Baptist (which is totally fine) got offended when i asked if her brother and sister were available (because i need something quick that the Muslim kids would know how to get). She literally began arguing with herself. She hung up, i called back to ask how i can get in touch with someone else and she just screamed on the phone saying i was playing on the phone. ZERO idea of what Im calling for because she only screamed over me. Like, it literally was an interaction with a person who has extreme psychiatric issues. To prove what im saying pay attention to this: She never found out what i was calling for but I learned that she is 50 years old, has daughters, she can fight etc etc. Literally what was going on in her head was not the situation AT ALL. She said her daughters were there so i asked to speak to one of them hoping one of them could take control of the situation. She hung up on me again. After all these years Im turned off now. Jamils may have lost a customer because thats a level of crazy that i dont just volunteer for in my daily life.I still rated it 4 stars out of loyalty, but I wrote my review so that the siblings could note how these type of interactions can negatively affect what their father established after all of these years.

MY ACE IN THE HOLE! I HAVE BEEN DOING BUSINESS WITH JAMILS FOR MORE THAN TEN YEARS! I KNOW BOTH THE MOM AND DAD AND IVE WATCH THEIR CHILDREN GO FROM TEENAGERS, TO A GROWN MAN AND WOMEN WITH KIDS OF THEIR OWN. I WOULD HAVE LOVE TO GIVE THEM 5 STARS, BUT THEN I WOULDNT BE TELLING MY TRUTH! I BROUGHT A LOT OF AFRICAN CLOTHING, AND COATS AND HAND BAGS FROM THEM. SOME WHERE ABSOLUTELY GOURAGES AND LASTED A LONF TIME, WELL INTO MY OLD AGE! OTHER ITEMS THAT I PURCHASED DIDNT LAST THAT LONG. BUT I CAN COUNT ON ONE HAND, THE ITEMS THAT I HAD TROUBLE WITH. THE OWNERS WHICH WHERE THE MOM AND DAD. ALWAYS TOOK CARE OF IT IN SOME WAY. WEATHER IT RESULTED IN A RETURN OR EXCHANGE. SO IN THE LONG RUN ALL PARTYS WHERE PLEASED! PEOPLE ALWAYS ASK ME WHERE CAN I GET THE BUTTER! MEANING CO CO BUTTER BALLS FOR YOUR SKIN. This diffently is the place people. They sale pure CO CO BUTTER IN BALLS AND YES THATS WHERE I GET IT FROM. THEY ARE LOCATED IN EAST LIBERTY, ON PENN AVENUE! You wont be disappointed. And you will leave there with a 😃 on your face!

Really impressed! Im fairly new to Pittsburgh, and I needed to re-up my oils. I drove past the store, on my way home for work for a while, before I looked up what the store was. Alḥamdulillāh! This was exactly the place I needed to find.Sooo many amazing scents, and was graciously allowed the time to smell my way through many of them, before arriving at just what I needed.A great selection of books, art, textiles, and natural products too! Ill be back, and have been referring everyone there whos asked about where I got my oils from.Glad to support Brother and Sister Brookins in their business and in their mission in the community of increasing love and raising consciousness. JazakAllah khair.
