Little India is crowded with countless restaurants serving Indian delicacies, local vendors, Indian specific market products like sarees, jewelry etc., the name truly justifies. This place is heaven for those who miss Indian food.

Nearby there is historic Sultan Mosque, built in 1825 with the distinctive golden domes and craftsmanship of the exterior. When we roamed around Arab street, we didn’t want to go home until we fully explored it, no doubt it’s a must visit.
