In Gujarat, commuters aboard the MMCT-GNC Vande Bharat Express are treated to Methi Thepla, and those on the SBIB-VRL line can savor Masala Lauki.

The initiative extends to include Odia Aloo Phulkopi on trains to Puri, and Kerala's traditional dishes on the Kasargod-Trivandrum route. Meanwhile, Bengali specialties like Kosha Paneer delight travelers on the ROU-HWH line, and Bihari Champaran Paneer enhances the PNBE-RNC service. This celebration of regional flavors signifies Indian Railways' commitment to making rail travel a memorable and culturally immersive experience.
