Local tip
The restaurant has limited options, so check the menu when you arrive. The walk from the church is short and straightforward.
Check before you go
- Little India does not publish opening hours online. Verify if it is open for dinner on your specific date before heading over.
- The golden light window is short. Arrive at the viewpoint at least 20 minutes before the moment to secure your spot.
