Recent Updates in Train Food Delivery in India

Train food delivery in India has evolved from basic pantry meals to organized, restaurant-style dining at railway stations. At the center of this change is RailRestro, a platform built to make food on train reliable, hygienic, and predictable for passengers across the country.

Pan-India station coverage

RailRestro currently delivers food at 500+ railway stations across India, covering most major routes and junctions. This wide network ensures that passengers do not have to depend only on pantry cars or local vendors, even on long-distance journeys.

The service is active across 7,000+ trains, making it accessible to passengers traveling in Sleeper, 3A, 2A, Chair Car, and other classes.

PNR-based ordering system

RailRestro works on a PNR-based food ordering model, which means passengers simply enter their PNR number to:

  • Fetch journey details automatically

  • View stations where food delivery is available

  • Select meals aligned with actual train halts

This system reduces delivery errors and ensures food is prepared only when the train is scheduled to stop at a delivery station.

Restaurant-partnered food preparation

All meals delivered through RailRestro are prepared by 2,500+ FSSAI-licensed restaurant partners located near railway stations. Food is freshly cooked, packed hygienically, and delivered directly to the passenger’s seat during the journey.

This partner-based model allows RailRestro to offer consistent quality while supporting local restaurants across different cities.

Wide range of food choices

RailRestro offers multiple meal and snack options to suit different travel needs, including:

  • Veg and non-veg meals

  • Jain food options

  • Regional cuisines

  • Combo meals, snacks, and beverages

This variety helps passengers order food on train based on dietary preferences, journey duration, and travel time.

Seat delivery with live train tracking

RailRestro uses real-time train running status to coordinate food preparation and delivery. If a train is delayed, the order timing is adjusted accordingly to avoid cold or missed deliveries.

Food is delivered directly at the passenger’s seat at the selected station, reducing the need to step down on platforms or search for vendors.

Transparent pricing and payment options

One of RailRestro’s key service features is transparent pricing. Passengers see the food price and applicable charges clearly before placing an order.

Payment options include:

  • UPI

  • Debit or credit cards

  • Net banking

  • Cash on delivery at select stations

There are no hidden delivery charges, which helps build trust, especially for first-time users.

Trusted by millions of train travelers

RailRestro is trusted by 3.5 Crore+ train travelers across India. The platform is widely used by families, group travelers, senior citizens, and office commuters who prefer planned meals during train journeys.

Customer support and refund policies are in place to handle missed or failed deliveries, adding an extra layer of reliability.

Why RailRestro matters for modern train travel

Food on train is no longer just about availability. It’s about hygiene, timing, choice, and peace of mind. RailRestro addresses all these concerns by combining technology with a large on-ground restaurant network.

For passengers who want to order food in train without uncertainty, RailRestro has become a dependable option across India’s railway network.
