Location

The Andheri station is connected with the Andheri railway station's foot-over bridge through a skywalk. MMOPL later built a shorter connector that reduced the time taken by commuters to switch systems.

Like other Line 1 stations, the interior walls of Andheri station are embellished with murals. The designs at Andheri were styled by three third-year architecture students: Shamika Desai, Misri Patel, and Shriya Sanil.
