Travelling by train is all about the experience. It is the most used means of transportation in India. People rely upon trains to travel long and short distances. One of the most important part of travelling by trains is actually the food. People look forward to eating snacks as well as main course meals while travelling in trains. Some people carry their own food while some buy from small time vendors that sell snacks when the train stops at railway stations. Overall, food can make or break your train journey.

Vande Bharat express is one of the more recent trains that have been launched in India. Along with other special amenities the train boasts of having a very diverse and you fulfilling food menu. It focuses on the overall customer experience and the passengers satisfaction while undertaking the journey. The food menu that the trains have is focused on the local areas that it travels through. The Vande Bharat express that runs from Delhi has dishes like parathe or panch mel dal. Sometime back it also made headlines because Vande Bharat express became the only train that offered an only vegetarian menu. But it changes according to the region and the kind of food that people there enjoy.
