When you visit Little India in Brickfields, think vibrant street-level shopping and hearty South Indian food a short walk from KL Sentral, not a quiet museum district. Go with small notes and coins because many stalls and sari shops prefer cash; busiest times are lunch and early evening when banana leaf rice, thosai and sweet shops fill up, so arrive early if you want a seat without waiting. You can haggle gently on textiles and imitation jewelry but expect fixed prices on fresh food and flowers, and always ask before photographing people or inside temples, where you should remove your shoes and dress modestly. The area is generally safe, but keep your bag zipped in crowds and use KL Sentral facilities if you need clean restrooms or transport connections.
