The American Express Mumbai Airport Lounge opened its doors in December 2018, and I have to argue, I’ve hardly found a reason to go over to the Adani Lounge ever since this one came up. The Amex Lounge is smaller, but usually quiter, and you can get your own meals off a menu rather than eating from the buffet, especially if you are seated on the Centurion section of the lounge (access to Platinum and Centurion cardmembers and their guests only).

The Amex Lounge in Mumbai had shut down on the back of Covid-19, and had re-opened earlier on 2021. However, the last time I was passing through in October 2021, I happened to note they were serving limited options in disposable plates. The good news is, the full service is back, as I experienced myself last Sunday passing through Mumbai’s Terminal 2 domestic. Well, honestly, I was looking forward to going to the Adani Lounge because of the sunlight and the closeness to my gate, but this is what it looked like.

I then headed to the American Express Lounge, and it was empty, well, almost.

I was guested inside the Centurion section after running my card, and the first thing I found missing was a board telling me my limited options of what to eat. Honestly, I was going to not eat at all, till the staff came and presented me the menu.

The old menu was back, along with all the options, including some which were once my favourite.

And to add to it, the buffet spread was back as well. For those who don’t know, there is a limited buffet in the Centurion section and a wider buffet in the Platinum section of the lounge.

It was not very difficult to decide what I wanted to eat off the menu. My favourite, the Chaat Platter. It came around in exactly ten minutes.

Not just that, I wandered into the Platinum section, to see what was there on offer on the buffet.

I might have eaten a Balushahi or three, and I hope my Doctor is not reading this post. In the Delhi winters, I am still trying to burn them off. They were delicious. So was the jalebi.

Fortunately, there is no price inflation on the charges to access the Mumbai Lounge for now, and Centurion/Platinum Members and their Supplementary members can continue to bring +2 members to the lounge. The Delhi Amex Lounge however will see the elimination of lounge guesting privileges soon.

Bottomline

The full-service for the American Express Lounge at Mumbai Airport is restored, and that is all that I have to report back here. You can bring along supplementary members and 2 guests per card as well.

What has been your experience at the Mumbai American Express Lounge?
