Lots of Indian stores
Nov 2020 • Solo
A popular place with the locals and Indian residents / tourists etc. There are plenty of stores selling all kinds of Indian products, fashion accessories, apparel, etc. It’s not exactly a place I would visit often but once in a while during Indian festivities as the atmosphere is really eclectic and festive.

Ideal location for Indian dresses etc.
Jul 2020
Great place to visit for an Indian culture experience. Within this arcade you can find henna stores, bangles stores and sweet-shops. Apart from this, there is only a building full of shops and not all the shops are amazing. Nothing so great about Little India. Only if you have nothing to do otherwise. Yeah, there's a place where fake tattoos are made.

Amazing experience at Little India
Mar 2020
Little India has to be one of the best places to visit in Singapore, from their indian foods to their souvenirs. Prices are really good and they sell the best gold jewels.

Very Indian and colourful
Oct 2019
Monday 21st October and we to took the MRT to the area known as Little India.

Our visit was during the week leading up to the Deepavali Festival so the the overhead street lighting and decorations, were amazing even in daylight. We did return to see the lights at night.

The stalls were packed with a colourful strings of floral decorations, boxes and boxes of every fragrance of incense imaginable.

A wide variety of artificial flowers, bags and bangles were on display along with clothing and fabrics of every shade and colour of the rainbow.

It was a bit crowded and busy but worth look if only to experience the smells of the incense and the array of colours.

Tons of little shops with souvenir items
Dec 2019
Located in Little India, lots of little shops in one shopping center. Crowded and a bit overwhelming for some, this is good area to price shop and find some bargains to take home.

Went to the little India area of Singapore, bit rough around the edges but worth a visit, lots of shops and restaurants. We were there during the festival of Duvali so everywhere was lit up. Great temple amazing building.

This arcade is located at Serangoon rd, Little India. There are too many handi crafts shops, Mogul Indian sweet stall, lot of travels and a restaurant in the ground floor. Can spend 1 hour here.

Disappointed.
Aug 2019 • Couples
We were disappointed in Little India.
The shop keepers were nice on the whole but the area was very dirty compared to other parts of Singapore.Rubbish on the ground,cigarette butts,coffee cups in planter pots etc. Certainly didn’t want to eat there.
The Temples were great to visit and the locals seemed to use them a lot,so it’s not “touristy”.
Heaps of gold jewellery shops which seemed to be very popular so the pricing must be good,we didn’t bother going into them as the sales people can be a little assertive.
If the area was cleaner,it would be much more enjoyable and to us the shopping didn’t seem to be very cheap.
An experience that we’re happy to have had but not one we will repeat.Very much over to the individual.

YOU WON'T MISS INDIA IN SINGAPORE
Jul 2019 • Family
We went to The Little India Arcade on 12th July 2019 for buying some Indian dress and other materials. It was market comparable to Palika Bazar in Delhi. Everything Indian is available there. We were glad to find so many Indian stuff in one place. Great Shopping Experience.
