Airport Food Coma?
So I just landed at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport after a 14-hour flight from @London. My brain is mush. Seriously, I'm pretty sure I saw a vada pav magically teleport itself on… more
Head out of the arrivals area and take a left. There's a bunch of smaller eateries just outside the airport proper, past the taxi stands. Skip the fancy stuff – trust me, you'll find better, cheaper, and way more authentic food a little further out. Grab a cab or an auto-rickshaw (negotiate the fare beforehand!) and tell them to take you to a street food hub in Vile Parle or Andheri West. You'll be swimming in deliciousness in no time. Seriously, don't waste your time or rupees on airport food; it's a tourist trap.
Wow, great tip! Thanks. Never even considered looking outside the airport itself. Andheri West sounds promising...

Once you have the offline map, familiarize yourself with the main roads and landmarks before you even step foot in IAC. Knowing a couple of key reference points will make a huge difference. Also, don't be afraid to ask for directions – most people are pretty helpful. Just be polite and smile. You'll be fine. Just... download that offline map.
