I travelled in this train from DWR to KJM on 10th Oct 2018. As usual the train reached / arrived at DWR at 20:00 hrs. I ordered two Special Thalis for Rs.100/- each. The taste was good. The Thali had Paneer Sabji + Aloo Matar + Daal + Jeera Rice + 3 Pulkas. The size of the Pulka was rather small but they were thick. 4 Pulkas would have been ideal. And the quantity of the Sabjis and Daal was much more than expected. So if you are 2 persons traveling, I strongly recommend you to order just one Special Thali and order one extra plate of Pulkas (3 pulkas for Rs.20/-). But remember, do not order these extra Pulkas when you order your Thali. First order your Thali and when it is delivered to you, only then ask the waiter to get you one extra plate of Pulkas. This will...

Also, the pantry serves one of the best Matka Dahi (Curd in earthern pot). Priced reasonably at Rs.40/- per pot. Very thick and not at all sour. Excellent in terms of Indian Rlys Catering. I wouldn't have thought twice to even pay Rs.50/- per pot for this kind of taste and quality.

I find that the menu mentioned by you was the one on 22475. I travelled on this train a few months and found the Rs 100 thali very tasty. The Curd was also excellent. Here is my posting of February 2018. /blog/post/3058963. Maybe the contractor is the same?

@sudhirgoa~

Did your train pass through Rajasthan? If yes, then the same contractor could be catering in both these trains.

How was the puncuality, patronage etc. After getting down at BAND/KJM was there any difficulty in getting auto/bus/cab? (for non-uber users)

As I have already mentioned in the very second sentence - that as usual - meaning the train always reaches BGM / DWR / UBL and all other stations up to KJM late. So 1 star for punctuality.
Regarding Patronage - I am sorry to mention that most people from BGM / DWR / UBL prefer other cheaper trains - as this train has a Dynamic pricing system, it cost a tad bit more than a normal 3A ticket from these stations to Bangalore - BAND / KJM. If IR tries to reduce/scrap the Dynamic fare system, I guess people will start upgrading their mindset to book in this Humsafar train.
