After a Week Long Visit at Mumbai for Rakshabandhan wanted to travel in Comfort so booked this, luckily got allotted Lower Berth for the first time in First AC 1A
DOJ- 2nd September 2023
Food: Good Quality, as one can take as much as one wants there truly was no limit tried everything 😂, Food is served through Casseroles instead of Aluminium things. Thankfully Cooked Soup is Served from Flask instead of those despicable Packet and Hot Water Deals. Service was good enough no issues there although frequency of visits by

Food Guys should increase as one has to search for them if one needs something mid meal.
Cleanliness: It was good enough but I've seen better in the same train in 2A since years.
Coach Attendant: Pathetic, no extra pillows. Once you call him he acts like he's doing you a favour. Doesn't respond to call alarms promptly and got scolded be me twice, I gave 200 Rupees tip to Food Guys infront of him and told them to not give him anything. Even Catering Manager was only seen when he came with Roses and Water Bottle as a Welcome thing.
Maintenance: Coach was relatively Old and has a lot of Jugaad from CR, not what you expect in Rajdhani.
Good Priority enroute. Reached Nizamuddin 39 minutes late due to Normal NR Controlling.
Good Amount of People deboarding at Jalgaon. Jalgaon has an excellent Potential for a Vande Bharat Express from Mumbai.

1. No, the Pantry Guys from your Coach would be somewhat arrogant about this as if they're doing you a favour. Even if you manage to convince them, Serving the same would be an issue as others would see and start demanding the same. Plus you'd end up paying hefty tip that would actually be waay more than what's the service is actually worth.
2. Then hope that it's not pre cooked Soup served through flask and it's a Knorr Packet Soup. I got Hot and Sour Option during my Dehradun Shatabdi Journey from Saharanpur. They normally go for Tomato Soup or Vanilla Ice Cream or Butterscotch Ice Cream as most normally like those options. Getting more specific options could lead to

wastage, at least that's what catering guy on Dehradun Shatabdi told me.
3. Yes, after boarding they'll ask you for choice of Veg Non Veg options. You can ask if they prepare and serve Continental Food as well. Years ago I had tried it in Howrah Rajdhani. Forgot about it in my last CSMT Rajdhani Trip until Somanko reminded me after seeing my Instagram Story 😂.
You can ask for Chinese Kind of Vegetable preparation as well. Some Rajdhani Trains with better Catering Services (avoid Southern Ones) can serve that. Have seen some Vlogs by Vloggers regarding same like Indian Railways Fan Club by Satya- I don't actually like or could do his type of Vlogging but his experiences are enlightening enough.
