The food standard quality and quantity, both are good in this train. Even you can ask for standard veg meal instead of veg Al-carte meal. Standard meal will contain everything except the Paneer dish (which has no taste;only ruins the good taste of other item provided).
Standard Meal cost Rs 50. (Consisting of Rice, Dal tadka, 1 Sabji, curd, pickle)
Also if your coach is very near to PC, and if you are hungry , then the good smell of cooking food makes the day. Don't wait for catering boys to come to...
more... you, instead just go to PC, and buy whatever you wish on actual price as the big food menu with price is placed at entry.
Only problem is they don't prepare Roti/Chappati for 2nd Night. Instead they make Poori. I found it out when i saw only rice (very huge quantity;more than 200 gm) was given and when i told about this to PC people, they happily without any extra charges gave me hot pooris in addition.
Still if some catering boy does any "Her-pher" in price , then complain with pantry manager. If he doesn't agrees to do anything, then call at 1800-111-321.
