Hotel near Little India MRT Station

Little India or “the India of Singapore” is a historic area down the Serangoon Road, Sungei Road, and Jalan Besar. It is the center of Singapore’s Indian community where there are many food stalls, temples, and shops that sell Indian souvenirs, bangle and imitation jewellery, and henna. Not only unique trinkets, in this vibrant area you can find authentic Indian restaurants that serve local cuisine such as tandoori chicken, biryani, kofta, tikka masala, and many more. However, Little India wasn’t even planned from the very beginning.

In the early 1800s, Serangoon Road was one of the roads that were first built in Singapore. Afterwards, the economic activity of cattle trading began to develop in that area, and it drew many Indians to be involved in that sector and start to reside there. As a result, Indian populations were growing over the years and by the 1940s, the Little India area became a residential-commercial area with a large number of Indian populations. Years later, the people began to move out from that area and it became a commercial-use area. 

One of the most famous shops for tourists is Mustafa Center, which is a 24-hour shopping mall that sells almost everything, especially souvenirs, at a relatively cheaper price compared to other shops. In addition, the largest indoor wet market in Singapore, Tekka Market, is also located in Little India.

Little India has its own dedicated station, namely NE7 DT12 which is an interchange station on North East and Downtown Lines so visitors can easily reach Little India by MRT. Not only MRT, there are few bus stops for those who are going around by bus.
