 | Kuala Lumpur Little India Reviews | Tips 1 - 9 of 9 |  |
Amazing shopping area! Beautiful scarves, Pashima's, and textiles. Great prices. Muslim area so MAKE SURE you dress modestly, nothing "bad" will happen to you if you don't, but you will feel more comfortable in Long sleeves and long pants. If you are in a tank top, people just stare at you longer (they are already stareing at you hair being uncovered- so why fuel the fire.....) I saw some western women buying scarves and wrapping thier bare shoulders. It just makes for a smoother day. Leave a Comment Address: Masjd India (Mosque) |
Unlike China town I found Little India to have a slice of its namesake. There are row upon row of saris at very cheap rates. I pick up a sari for $13 that would cost about $160 here. I also got a few Bollywood DVDs. There are lots of small shops behind the stall where you can find some great jewellery, cosmetics, hair ornaments and bindis. There are also all the God and Goddess related items such as colour posters, bright coloured statues and flower offerings. My only regret is I didn't have more time there and more money! You can also try the local cuisine here. There a plenty of hawkers stalls or for the not so game there are some little restaurants. |
Jalan Masjid India, a-la Lil India of Singapore and Arab Street.
.
Along this street you will discover an interesting mixture of Indian and a-la Arab Street, where Indian, Indian Moslem and malay traders merchandise their crafts, moslem/malay clothings, songket, batik sarong, songkok, fabrics, religious books, traditional medicines and herbs, saris, spices, bangles, Indian traders making temple garlands/garlands, etc..

Little India is a fantastic place to get a bite to eat... Some very tasty Indian cuisine is available and at extremely cheap prices... In addition, you get to mix in with Kuala Lumpur's Indian population who hail primarily from South India...! There are also clothing stores selling a wide variety of traditional and modern Indian fashions. I went here for a lunch with VT member "Jillworld" and we loved it... Don't miss it! Leave a Comment |
Little India. The atmosphere is great and the people are very friendly for city Malaysian standards. Barginning is a must, no matter the number of stairs you climbed to get to the shop.
Besides the mosque and great sari shops there are many sidewalk shops, selling everything from Bollywood videos to hair loss remedies. Leave a Comment |
Little India is exciting and vibrant and the place is absolutely alive with colours! Visitors to the place will feel as if they are in a bazaar. The streets are lined with an array of goods that will capture any shopper’s eye – from colourful sarees to jewellery, food to fabrics. Address: Jalan Masjid India |
Abdul Rahma was disastrous. I was afraid only to take out my camera, the place was dirty, dirty, dirty!!!, altough it seems different in the pictures (even mine). It was so dark, all the way from the station to the booths, the people that I saw scared me, we run away, almost running until the LTR station. |
Little India is alive with shops, smells, people, fabrics, food and traffic of all kinds. I would certainly recommend that anyone visiting KL travel down there to just walk around and experience this hectic way of life. We stopped at an Indian cafeteria and for about 10RM (each) had enough to feed a person for a week. If you want fabric, this is certainly the place to go. Leave a Comment |
When we went to Little India by taxi (quite cheap 5RM from KLCC) but in the end it was quite pointless.
We had just been to China Town shopping in the market and grabbed a few bargains. We decided to move onto the market in Little India to find some different items to buy as pressies. The items for sale were no different and the range didn't compare to China Town.
The thing I did like was beside the market was a mosque where prayers were put out on loud speakers which gave the place quite a surreal feel to it, especially for a westerner. Leave a Comment |
