HDB flats in the area are also an option for renters and buyers. The blocks locate across Little India, including Cambridge Road, Rowell Road, Veerasamy Road, and above Tekka Centre.

Eat In Little India

The Banana Leaf Apolo, Muthu’s Curry, and Sakunthala’s Food Palace are just a few of the good Indian restaurants in the area. The Gurkha Palace Restaurant serves Nepali cuisine, and Komala Vilas delivers vegetarian Indian food in a fast-food format. The many Indian food stalls in Tekka Centre also conduct a brisk business, serving delicious food at reasonable costs. Little India, created as an ethnic enclave, is not primarily a Tamil community. If you look closely, you’ll notice that many residents and shop owners are Chinese, while most businesses cater to the Indian community with other ethnic groups in mind.
