Taking a train back home this Diwali? Here are five startups that will help you get better food

By on November 11, 2015 | Spotlight

Finding quality food is a major issue for train travellers. The food they offer from the train pantry has got huge quality issues and despite various attempts by the railways to improve the quality, it still remains a questionable proportion for many. Even if the quality issue is sorted, the options are very limited when it comes to food in trains. This is why many third party vendors entered the picture and started offering wide range of food options to train travellers. So if you are travelling in a train this festive season, you might want to try out one of these options to order your meal.

Serving at almost all major stations across the length and breadth of country, Yatrachef can be another good option if you are looking to order food during you train travel. Just like many others, they take orders through call, website or whatsapp.

Railrider

With its partner restaurants varying from Indian restaurants to fast food chains like Subway, Railrider offers wide range of food options for the travellers. Orders can be placed over phone or through the website but we would recommend using the phone as the website isn’t very seamless. To further add functionality, they also offer the option of PNR tracking along with the food delivery option on the website.
