With a few easy steps, you can have a tasty meal delivered right to your seat. So, sit back, relax, and let’s explore the simple joy of ordering food in a train.
Follow these steps to order food in train:
Check if your train offers food service:
Not all trains offer food services. Confirm if your train provides a pantry car or e-catering services. You can check this information when booking your ticket or by visiting the Indian Railways website or mobile app.
Decide on the mode of food delivery:
a. Pantry car: If your train has a pantry car, you can order food directly from the onboard pantry. The pantry staff will come to your seat to take your order and deliver the food during meal times.
b. E-catering services: If the train doesn’t have a pantry car, you can use e-catering services to order food from approved vendors.
Pre-ordering:
If you prefer e-catering services, it’s advisable to pre-order your meals to ensure availability. Some popular e-catering platforms for train food delivery in India are IRCTC e-Catering https://www.ecatering.irctc.co.in/
