'train' delivery-food delivered to your seat!
Most cities, big and small, have home delivery. Mumbai’s right at the top where I’ve had from a window A.C. to a cup of tea delivered home.
Last month we were travelling from Mumbai to Patna by train when I came across this ad pasted near the sink. This ‘pure veg’ restaurant delivers food right to your seat. All you have to do is - call them a few minutes before the train arrives at Itarasi station. I noticed the ad pretty late (after we’d crossed Itarasi), else I would’ve definitely tried the service. As it is, most of the food that’s served in our trains is pretty sad. Even the coach attendant felt the same!

Yeah ! I agree with you. This train delivery of food was introduced by the railway ministry sometime ago. Sure it saves you the trouble of eating inferior grade pantry car food, or running behind foodstalls on stations. But even I haven't tasted this train delivery food to see how it fares against the pantry stuff.

i doubt the railway ministry has anything to do with it. i think its just a 'dhabha' owner trying to capitalize on the not so good quality of food in the pantry!
