Check out the food court in Terminal 2, it's got a decent variety. I usually grab something from there before my flights. You might find something spicy there; they often have Indian food stalls with some pretty decent curries and stuff. It's not gourmet, but way better than that airport sandwich situation you described. Good luck with your flight!

Oof, that's a tough one. Indian Airlines Colony is a maze, even for someone who's lived there their whole life. A million banyan trees is no exaggeration. Your best bet is probably to just wander around the area near the colony – maybe even ask some local shopkeepers. They're usually the best source of hyperlocal info, way better than any map app. Pav bhaji stalls pop up and disappear pretty frequently, too, so it might be gone. But hey, even if you don't find your aunt's legendary spot, you'll still stumble upon some killer street food in @Mumbai. Good luck with your hunt!
