It's a bustling ethnic enclave where traditional and cultural elements from India are deeply infused into the local landscape. This iconic arcade is housed in a cluster of restored shop houses dating back to the 1920s, showcasing richly decorated facades which reflect Singapore’s colonial past as well as Indian heritage. Visitors can explore a variety of shops offering Indian spices, colorful textiles, intricate jewelry, and a plethora of Indian artifacts and souvenirs. The arcade also features a selection of eateries where local Indian cuisine can be savored, including signature dishes like prata, biryani, and curry. Fragrant smells of incense, the melodic sounds of Indian music, and the hustle and bustle of merchants and shoppers combine to create a truly immersive experience. Frequented by both locals and tourists, Little India Arcade presents a unique shopping and cultural experience that mirrors the larger multicultural mosaic of Singapore. The place is not just a shopping destination but a cultural journey that offers a glimpse into the lives and traditions of Singapore's Indian community.
A great place to explore and atmosphere too. There is a lovely hotel close by and plenty of Indian food with a chance to see the multi-faith religious areas around too.

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..
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.
