Need To Know
How much time should I block for this stop?Most visits fit within 60-80 minutes; add a short wait buffer if your onward schedule is tight.

What arrival strategy works best here?Use a staggered arrival plan: reach slightly before peak slot and finalize the next stop only after table flow is clear.
What should I prep before leaving?Before you leave, lock three things: a backup dining option, payment readiness (UPI/card/cash), and a realistic buffer before your next fixed activity.
