Lunch, Dinner or Breakfast? IRCTC Unveils the Most Sought-After Meals in Trains

Everybody enjoys the train journey and, of course, the food too. With its e-Pantry service, IRCTC allows travellers on long distance trains without pantry cars to order meals in advance online, guaranteeing that the food will be delivered directly to their seat.

Premium trains such as the Vande Bharat, Rajdhani and Shatabdi do not have pantry cars, but meals can be reserved with tickets. Meals are sent immediately from IRCTC base kitchens. According to media sources, certain trains still include pantry cars where passengers may order meals while traveling.
