Deccan queen only break fast and light tea-coffee juice are available while going from Pune to Mumbai at day time, whereas evening snacks and tea-coffee with beverages are provided during evening return Mumbai to Pune. As train doesn't runs while in afternoon or dinner time , so no heavy meal is provided.
Whereas Mandovi runs throughout the day , so full lunch meal, breakfast ,and evening snacks are available.
Taste wise both are somehow same. but Mandovi gives a better eating sight with Konkan ghats view.
