Mains hover around ₹500–₹700 at this Terminal 2 spot
Moti Mahal Deluxe sits airside in Terminal 2 at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, so you’re fine on time once you clear security. It’s a full-service North Indian restaurant, not a food court stall, and that alone makes it stand out in T2’s mix of quick bites and coffee chains. You’ll see classic curries on the menu that mirror what you’d find at city locations, just with airport pricing and slightly shorter portions.
The draw here is the tandoor: butter chicken, dal makhani, and tandoori chicken are the core orders, with mains typically in the ₹500–₹700 band and breads around ₹120–₹200 per basket. Portions work for one hungry person or two light eaters who also split a starter. If you’ve got a late-night international departure from T2, this is one of the more substantial sit-down options before boarding.
Service pace feels like 25–35 minutes for a full meal if you order a starter, main, and bread, so build that into your gate timing. Staff are used to people flashing boarding passes and asking for faster service, but anything under a 45-minute buffer before boarding will feel tight for a relaxed meal here. Expect GST and service charge on top of menu prices, which can add roughly 15–20% to the bill.
There isn’t much data on standout one-off dishes at this particular airport outlet, so stick to the greatest hits: tandoori platters, butter chicken, paneer tikka, and dal makhani with garlic naan or roomali roti. Skip anything that looks too elaborate or fusion-heavy on a small airport insert menu; those are usually less consistent than the core curries and kebabs that made the Moti Mahal name across India.
Tip: check your gate on the T2 screens before sitting; some international gates at BOM can be a 10–12 minute walk from central dining, and boarding for long-haul flights often starts 45–60 minutes before departure.
