Check out the food court in Terminal 2, it's got a decent variety. I usually grab something from there before my flights.

It's not gourmet, but way better than that airport sandwich situation you described. Good luck with your flight!

6 AM flight from CSMIA? Yikes. Pre-booked car isn't overkill, especially from South Mumbai. Traffic there is… legendary. Honestly, even at 3 AM you'll hit some congestion. Consider a cab through one of the reputable apps – Ola or Uber – but book it the night before to guarantee availability. They're usually cheaper than pre-booked car services. Just make sure to check the driver's rating beforehand and confirm the pick-up time. Factor in at least 2 hours travel time, maybe even 2.5 to be safe. Better to be early and waiting than sprinting through the terminal.
