Little India is a bustling historic area that shows off the best of Singapore's Indian community from vibrant culture to incredible flavors. The origins of Little India date back to the 19th century when Indian immigrants would come to Singapore to seek work, many in the cattle-related trades. Consequently, they settled near the cattle-trading area, which is now known as Little India. As the community grew, so did the temples, businesses, and eateries catering to their needs, thus laying the foundation for the rich culinary tapestry the area is renowned for today. The restriction on cow-based products due to religious beliefs is well respected, with the majority of Hindu and many Muslim Indians refraining from consuming beef, leading to a diverse array of vegetarian and other meat-based cuisine.
