Indian Railways introduces regional cuisines on select Vande Bharat trains
Train journeys just got tastier—Indian Railways is rolling out local dishes on select Vande Bharat Express routes, aiming to make your travel experience feel a bit more like home (or at least your favorite food stop).
The move pairs each train route with its own regional menu, served up with strict hygiene and quality standards.
What's new on the menu?
IRCTC is running meal trials on select Vande Bharat routes.
Expect to see Kanda Poha in Maharashtra, Kerala classics like appam and payasam down south, Kosha Paneer in Bengal, and Methi Thepla between Mumbai and Gandhinagar.
If all goes well, these tasty upgrades could roll out to even more trains soon.
Why should you care?
This is a fresh take on train food—finally something that actually reflects where you're traveling.
For anyone who loves trying local flavors or just wants a better meal on the go, this could make train rides way more enjoyable.
