Pre-Order Food on Trains with YatriRestro

In India, travelling by train is not just travelling, it is an experience in itself. The sights of the countryside, the chai-wallahs courting their customers at every stop, lively chatter with newly met friends, experiencing the very nature of travel in India. However, there is a mutual concern that can diminish the experience regardless of the chains or classes of travel: food.

Whether it's the uncertainty of pantry quality, lack of variety, or poor hygiene standards of platform vendors, getting a good meal on the train has always been tricky. That’s where train meal pre booking comes in a reliable, safe, and convenient solution for modern travelers.

With YatriRestro, you can now pre-book meals for your train journey and enjoy delicious, hygienic food delivered directly to your seat without hassle, stress, or compromise.

What is Train Meal Pre-Booking?

Pre-booking meals in train means ordering your food in advance and scheduling it for delivery at a chosen station during your journey. With this system, your meal is delivered right to your berth at your selected station freshly prepared and hygienically packed.

The service is powered by the IRCTC food pre booking system, and enhanced by platforms like YatriRestro, which partner with top-rated, FSSAI-certified restaurants across India. Whether it’s a short day trip or a 30-hour cross-country ride, this service ensures you eat well along the way.

Benefits of Pre-Booking Train Food

For a long time, Indian train passengers had limited food options: pantry car meals, packaged snacks, or food from platform vendors. None of these options consistently met the mark on taste, freshness, or hygiene. Pre-ordering meals while traveling by train is a shift from compromise to comfort. Here are the major benefits of booking your train meals in advance:

A Guaranteed Meal, On Time

When you pre-book your train food, your order is scheduled and confirmed well in advance. There's no uncertainty or fear of food running out; your meal is reserved and delivered as promised.

More Variety, Better Taste

With platforms like YatriRestro, you can choose from a wide range of cuisines and regional specialties. North Indian thalis, South Indian meals, biryanis, pizzas, Jain food in train, and more are available far beyond the limited menu of pantry ones.

Safe and hygienic Food

When it comes to food hygiene and safety should be non-negotiable. All our partner restaurants are FSSAI approved and compliant with their standards of cleanliness and hygiene. The meals prepared in the partner restaurants are prepared fresh, packed and sealed in containers and served at your seat, or reserved seat.

Customized Meal Choices

Are you on any dietary restrictions or preferences? Train food that is pre-booked allows for preordering. Just remember to specify low-sugar, low-sodium, Jain, or kid-friendly, for those traveling with family.

No More Platform Vendors

Relying on random vendors at stations is a gamble both in terms of hygiene and pricing. With pre-ordering, you avoid this risk altogether. Your meal comes from a verified restaurant partner and is delivered without leaving your seat.

Convenience for Families and seniors

Traveling with children or elderly passengers? Meal planning can be stressful! Pre-booking your meals will allow your meals to gain you time, meet your requirements and be delivered without complications so that you will be able to enjoy your journey.

Food Delivered at the Station of Your Choice

You can choose the station you wish to have the meal delivered to. YatriRestro can deliver meals at over 450 stations across India - including major cities and junction stations. This flexibility is especially useful for long-distance routes.
