Located on Main St (past 48th Ave) and also known as 'Little India,' this enclave of sari stores, bhangra music shops and Vancouver's best-value curry buffet restaurants is worth a quick visit – especially if you're hungry. Bus number 3 takes you right here, and makes for an easy escape once you've bought some traditional Indian candies for the road.
There's been talk in recent years of building a Chinatown-style Little India Gate here – ask about the plans on your visit, unless you're too busy stuffing your face at the all-you-can-eat curry joints.
