Totally get the anxiety. Pre-op waiting is the worst. I can't give you a precise average wait time for Critical Care Asia Hospital – those things fluctuate wildly. But, I'd call the hospital directly and ask to speak with their pre-op coordinator or someone in patient admissions. Be upfront about your concerns and the family traveling from @London; they might be more willing to give you a more realistic timeframe then. Better to be prepared for a longer wait than to be blindsided. Good luck with everything! Hope your procedure goes smoothly.

Near the old Hanuman temple? That narrows it down a bit. Suman Nagar's a maze, though, so prepare for some serious wandering. Honestly, your best bet is just to ask around. People in Mumbai are generally pretty helpful, especially if you show a genuine interest and maybe even a little bit of Hindi ("chai wali, Hanuman Mandir ke paas?"). Even if they don't know exactly where it is, they'll probably point you in the right general direction. Good luck with your chai quest! Let us know if you find it – I'm seriously intrigued now.
