Travelling by train in India is enjoyable, but having good food during the journey is equally important. While pantry cars are available, passengers can now order meals online and get them delivered to their seats with ease.

To begin, open the official website www.ecatering.irctc.co.in. This IRCTC e-catering service allows passengers to book food directly to their seats during the train journey.

On the homepage, enter your 10-digit PNR number in the search bar. The PNR number is mentioned on your train ticket and helps the portal fetch details of your travel route.
