Exploring the dining options provided by Indian Railways

Food offered by Indian railways is good enough for compartments where reservations have been done. For instance if you have booked your tickets for onward journeys through A/C, i.e. Air Conditioner  Sleeper Coach or Reserved Sleeper Coaches then you may get lip smacking dishes by the Food & Beverages team of Indian Railways. But when it comes to U/R i.e. Un Reserved Coaches the options are relatively less. A trip en-route Bangalore and Vadodra is 36 hours which is 2.5 days of complete train travel. Food in train is good but not adequate.

And the food joint makes sure you get lip-smacking dishes while you are sitting in your train compartment hot and spicy. You have lot of options to select from our mouth-watering menu.
