About Tekka Centre (Little India)
Tekka Centre in Little India is a lively hawker centre and wet market where the aroma of spices, sizzling woks and freshly ground masalas greets you from the moment you step in. The place mixes Indian, Malay and Chinese hawker traditions — think crispy roti prata, biryani stalls, fish head curry, and mamak-style mee goreng — all served in a no-frills, heartland atmosphere.
The crowd is a true cross-section of Singapore: office workers grabbing a quick and wallet-friendly lunch, families enjoying weekend breakfasts, and food explorers sampling Indian sweets and fresh produce from the wet market stalls. It’s a quintessential Singapore hawker centre experience — noisy, fragrant and fast-paced — and is easy to reach from Little India MRT and Farrer Park MRT, making it a favourite stop for both locals and visitors exploring the neighbourhood.
Locals come here for weekday kopi and prata, cheap-and-good dinners, and weekend grocery runs to the market stalls. Expect communal seating, self-service ordering, and a lively atmosphere that exemplifies hawker culture — perfect for casual weekday meals, weekend makan trips with friends, or late-night supper runs after an evening out in the city.
