What arrival strategy works best here?Aim for an early meal window (before prime rush) and pre-pin parking or drop points to reduce friction.
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.
