If you miss this train at CSTM, take PNVL local.. All probabilities, this train may still be arriving at Panvel by the time local takes you there. If you miss there also, come back by return local train.

This train is KRs ISO certified train. Best for enjoying the beauties of Konkan with the demography changing from Urban to Semi Urban to Rural.

Best quality and tastier food available in this train with lots of varieties. The Pantry managed by M/s. Ahuja Caterers have been ranked country's No 1. The same Caterers also manage pantry aboard 10111/12 Konkan Kanya Express (another ISO train of KR) due to Rake sharing.

There will be limited options in Konkan Kanya if any due to late running as it traverses the Konkan Route during night time. Otherwise meals are just limited to breakfast....

To experience a restaurant type lunch... One must travel in Mandovi Express..

If History is any indication about Punctuality, travelers should be careful to plan the onward journey. As this train has history of Frequent late arrival at destination and highly risky start time from source.
What makes this train so 'Punctually' unpunctual is not known, but travellers should keep in mind that onward journey / xfer time must have gap of double of normal and that can be as big as 8 hours !!!
If the story seems unconvincing have look at the February 2014 data of dep / arr History.

This train (along with Konkan Kanya) has best Pantry services. Food Quality on par with Premeire trains like Shatabdi/Rajdhani/Durnto etc.
Pantry services are run by Ahuja cateres (if i am ot wrong) & serve both Veg & non veg items.
Enjoy scenic beauty of KR route in day time with delicious food on board..

I compare with Mumbai/SDAH Rajdhani's food service, which are best in IR, but now few member have complained about food quality in King of WR & King of ER too. So your statements are partilally correct.
