How to Order Food on Train in 4 Simple Steps

About YatriRestro
YatriRestro is an official IRCTC e-catering partner helping passengers order fresh and hygienic food during train journeys. We started YatriRestro after seeing how difficult it can be for travellers to find fresh and hygienic meals during long train journeys. Passengers often have to carry food from home, which may not remain fresh throughout a long journey. We introduced YatriRestro to make it easier for travellers to find reliable, quality meals while travelling by train.
Today, we connect travellers with participating restaurants and food partners across 450+ railway stations in India, with our network continuing to grow. Meals are delivered at the selected station, coach or seat location.
With 3 crore+ successful meal deliveries, YatriRestro focuses on making train food ordering simple and convenient through reliable delivery coordination, quality food options, and responsive customer support throughout the journey.
