Getting fresh food at Chennai railway station can be quite a challenge for travellers. On the one hand, the food you pack from home can get quite cold. You could get around this by packing snacks like biscuits or cake but these items might not feel as satisfying as hot and fresh meals served at home. On the other hand, you have many stalls and restaurants at railway stations which serve good food. But many passengers don’t get the chance to try their food because their train might not stop long enough for the food to be ready on time.
Fortunately, it’s possible to get fresh food while travelling on a train via IRCTC eCatering, the only official service for train food delivery at Bhopal, New Delhi and other locations throughout India. The service enables you to get fresh meals like Rajma Chawal or Chhole Bhature on the go.
You just need to place the order in advance (at least 2 hours before your scheduled arrival at the selected station). A delivery person will bring the meal to the platform from where you can collect it and enjoy it at your berth.
It’s a convenient and hassle-free way of enjoying fresh meals while journeying. You don’t need to pack meals from home only for them to get cold or risk missing your train while searching for good restaurants at the station. The meal just comes to you.
You can use the IRCTC-operated service as soon as you book your tickets, though the tickets have to be confirmed (fully or partially) for orders to be delivered.
You can place the orders on the website by entering your PNR and searching for available restaurants on your route. You can also use the Food on Track app from Play Store or App Store, call 1323 or WhatsApp your orders to +91-8750001323.
The service is partnered with more than a thousand restaurants all over India, though different stations have different restaurants available at them. This means that you can choose from different cuisines served by them ranging from South Indian to Punjabi.
Some of these restaurants include top brands like Oven Story, Faaso’s and Domino’s. These restaurants are carefully selected for proper packaging and hygiene so you can rest assured of your food’s quality when availing of food delivery in train at Thrissur railway station. And in case there’s an issue with your order, you can contact customer care at 1323.
