Our take: Tekka Centre is a long-standing institution in Little India, offering a vibrant mix of market stalls and food vendors.
We see it as a destination for authentic Indian cuisine, with many reviewers highlighting the variety and reasonable prices.
The ground floor food centre is particularly noted for its Indian food, including popular items like Pani Puri and prata.
While it can be crowded, this is often seen as part of its authentic charm.
Beyond the food, the centre also houses a wet market and a second floor with textile and heritage shops, making it a multi-faceted experience.
We'd recommend visiting after 9:00 AM if you're looking to try specific stalls like the naan shop, though early mornings are good for other breakfast options.
It's a reliable spot for a taste of local culture and diverse food.

What customers say
Tekka Centre is highly regarded for its authentic and diverse Indian cuisine, with specific mentions of delicious Pani Puri, prata, appam, and puri, all offered at reasonable prices.
The market's vibrant atmosphere and the availability of fresh spices, particularly from Alhajar Latifa, are also significant draws.
While the food centre is a major highlight, the upper floor's textile shops and clothing alterations also contribute to its appeal.
