Thank you for sharing your experience with the food service on the Mumbai CSMT - Asansol SF Express. It's helpful to know that the pantry car provides a variety of meal options, including both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. While the prices may be slightly higher than standard IRCTC meals, it's great to hear that the food is of good quality and quantity. The availability of different snacks like samosas, bread cutlet, egg pakoda, and more adds to the overall dining experience on the train. Your detailed information will definitely assist other passengers planning their journey on this train.

I took this train from DWR to KJM on 10th Oct 2018. The train reached DWR at 8:00 pm. I got 2 Special Thalis for Rs.100 each. The food was good - had Paneer Sabji, Aloo Matar, Daal, Jeera Rice, and 3 Pulkas. Pulkas were small but thick. 4 Pulkas would've been better. There was more Sabjis and Daal than expected. So, if there are 2 people, get 1 Thali and an extra plate of Pulkas for Rs.20. Remember, get the Thali first and then order the extra Pulkas. This should be enough and you'll only spend Rs.120 for 2 people.

Maine is train mein safar kiya tha DWR se KJM tak 10th Oct 2018 ko. Jaise hi train DWR par pahuchi, 8 baje raat ko. Maine 2 Special Thalis order kiye the jo Rs.100/- har ek ki thi. Swaad achha tha. Thali mein Paneer Sabji + Aloo Matar + Daal + Jeera Rice + 3 Pulkas the. Pulka chhote the lekin moti. 4 Pulkas achha hota. Sabji aur Daal ka quantity zyada tha jo ki expected tha. To agar tum do log safar kar rahe ho, to main strongly recommend karta hu ki sirf ek Special Thali order karo aur extra plate Pulkas order karo (3 pulkas ke liye Rs.20/-). Lekin yaad rakhna, Thali order karte waqt extra Pulkas na order karo. Sabse pehle Thali order karo aur jab wo aapke paas deliver ho, tab waiter se extra plate Pulkas mangaao. Ye 2 logon ke liye kaafi hoga. Aur tum sirf Rs.120/- kharch karoge 2 logon ke liye.

Lunch came as soon as the train left Howrah.

Lunch train start hone ke baad hi serve hua hai.

That's great to hear! It's always nice to have a good meal on a long train journey. Did you enjoy the lunch served on the Howrah-New Jalpaiguri Shatabdi Express?

Yo, I hopped on 22308 from Bikaner to Howrah in 3A on 14.02.2017. Tried their grub and gonna drop a review.

Day 1
Food I got: Veg Biryani for 100 bucks at Merta Road. Rating: 3 out of 10. Didn't even look like Biryani, more like veg pulao!!! No flavor at all!!!!

Day 2
Had Veg Cutlet with Bread & Butter and Ketchup for 50 bucks between Agra Fort and Tundla.

Grabbed Cup Noodles from a vendor for 40 bucks. Rating: 10 out of 10! 😋

Lunch at Kanpur for 150 bucks. It had Rice, Dal, Gobhi and Paneer ki Sabzi, Chapati, Papad, and one Rasgulla. Rating: 8 out of 10

Dinner between Prayagraj and DDU - Rice, Dal, Chole and Paneer ki Sabzi, Chapati, Papad, and another Rasgulla. Worth 150 bucks. Rating: 8 out of 10.

Overall: Dug everything except the Biryani. Lunch was fire! Local vendors were selling Jhalmuri, Petha, etc. Had those too.

Don't know how much the food quality has changed in the past 7 years, but hopefully, it's better now.

Maine 14.02.2017 ko Bikaner se Howrah tak 22308 ke 3A me safar kiya tha. Maine uska khana khaya hai aur main apna review share karunga.

Day 1
Khana Serv Kiya Gaya: Veg Biryani Rs 100, Merta Road par serv kiya gaya tha. Rating: 3 out of 10. Yeh to Biryani lag nahi rahi thi! Lag rahi thi veg pulao ki tarah!!!! Iska swad bhi kuch khaas nahi tha!!!!

Day 2.
Breakfast: Veg Cutlet with Bread Butter and Tomato Ketchup ke sath jo ki Rs 50 me mila, serv kiya gaya Agra Fort aur Tundla ke beech me.

Overall review: Mujhe har khana pasand aaya except Biryani. Lunch bahut achha tha! Local vendors local khana jaise Jhalmuri, Petha etc bech rahe the. Maine wo bhi khaya.

Pichle 7 saalon me khane ki quality me kitna badlav hua, mujhe nahi pata, par main ummeed karta hoon ki sudhar hua hoga.
