40 is abt right, maybe 45 now

45 at MTR, 40 at the smaller stalls.

agreed, 40 to 45 is about right these days

Sounds about right, maybe a bit more in tourist spots.

Filter coffee there's decent but the degree coffee at Rayar's Mess on Arundale Street beats it.

Which permit do I actually need for that, and what documents trip people up at the FRRO? Also, is Ambur Star Briyani 1890 on that side of town worth the trip while I sort this out?

for the visa thing the frro usually wants ur rental agreement & landlord's id along with the form, that's what trips ppl up. on the briyani, the 1890 branch is decent but tbh i'd hit the ambur original if u ever pass through. worth it once

yeah the landlord id thing got me too, they also wanted my lease notarized which nobody warns u about

second this, landlord pan card also helps

Landlord PAN copy, they asked for it too.

also bring a utility bill in the landlord's name, tripped me up

Mine wanted the PAN and a self attested copy of their passport photo page stapled together.

the frro queue at shastri bhavan is brutal before 10am so go early & bring photocopies of everything, they always want one more. briyani 1890 near the airport side is fine but the mutton there runs dry by 2pm

Shastri Bhavan counters shut for lunch around 1.30, so morning only.

arrow_drop_up 3 arrow_drop_down

Counters close at 5.30 sharp, no exceptions.

arrow_drop_up 4 arrow_drop_down

5.30 is the last token, not the last counter, so if u walk in at 5.15 ur getting turned around
