Useful
Some pics of food from Mandovi's pantry car!

Honest opinion, it's overhyped. The food is GOOD, no second thoughts about that, but I feel like the modern day railvloggers have blindly hyped everything up for clickbait content.

review:
•Bread cutlet: sub-par. For someone who's had cutlets from Deccan Queen(ICF days), Netravati and Mangala(ICF days) and Parashuram, these cutlets were absolutely tasteless.
•Tomato soup: the BEST tomato soup I've ever tasted till date!!! This one's a must try even if you've packed food from home.
•Chicken Lollipop: average to good. I have had better from Netravati's pantry(ICF days).
•Veg fried rice: this was excellent. Would 100% recommend this to anyone.
•Chicken chilli: good. Not comparable to restaurants but was very good by railway standards.
•Chicken fried rice: strictly average. The chicken had a raw smell to it and I had to keep all the chicken fragments aside and consume just the rice. The quantity of chicken was generous though.

Some dishes are excellent, some are good, others are sub-par. So choose wisely and don't fall for the clickbait madness.

Thanks. I've been for long wanting to travel by Mandovi, only for its food!
I note that there is a spelling mistake of 'Konkan' in the menu card (it is spelled as 'Konakan').

Then it would be very comfortable. I think Mandovi and Konkan Kanya share rakes. So it would be value for money for Madgaon to CST passengers on both trains.
