Myth 2: Delivery Timing is Unreliable

Myth 5: Lack of Variety

Reality: From the most popular dishes to local cuisines along your route, there is a wide variety of dishes available for you to order.

• Railfeast offers a wide range of dishes on trains. Based on orders placed so far by the customers, North Indian has been the most popular cuisine. When it comes to dishes, biryani and thalis have been traveler favourites.
