₹200–₹250 gets you a basic fried chicken meal at this KFC in Terminal 1
This KFC sits airside in Terminal 1 at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, so you clear security first and then find it near the domestic gates. It runs long hours in line with early-morning departures and late-night arrivals, roughly 5:00 to 23:00, which covers most IndiGo and Air India domestic banks out of T1. Expect the standard red-and-white counter setup with a few tables plus shared food-court seating nearby.
Menu is the usual India KFC spread: crispy chicken pieces, Zinger burgers, rice bowls, popcorn chicken, fries, and basic desserts. Combos land in the ₹200–₹350 range, with a Zinger combo typically around ₹250 and a 2-piece chicken meal with fries and drink closer to ₹300. Vegetarian options exist, including a Veg Zinger and sometimes paneer or rice bowls, but the lineup can change, so check the digital board before you queue.
Food quality tracks with a mid-tier city outlet: fresh enough if you hit it around big departure waves every 60–90 minutes, a bit limp if you arrive between banks when chicken sits under the heat lamps. Expect your tray in 5–10 minutes during normal traffic, and closer to 15 minutes if three or more flights are boarding in the same 30-minute window. Card and UPI payments are both accepted, and bills include the usual airport markup over street-side KFC, roughly 15–25% higher.
Figure on 25–30 minutes from joining the line to walking away fed if you see 8–10 people ahead of you at the counter. If your boarding pass shows a gate at the far end of Terminal 1, keep at least 10 minutes for the walk; T1 is compact, but final calls can start a full 25 minutes before departure. Tip: order a combo instead of à la carte pieces — it’s usually ₹40–₹60 cheaper than building the same meal item by item.
