Is there any food service on train Chhattisgarh Express?

My father and I booked tickets on the Chahattisgarh Express from Agra 16.10 to Delhi Hazrat Nizamuddin 19.45. Will there be a buffet car where we can sit and order food or should we bring something to eat?
Thank you,
Banlue

If possible, please carry your own food, else, you will have to depend on hawkers!

18237 CHATTISGARH EXP - this does have a pantry car. Please note that a pantry car is more like a kitchen, not a restaruant. You can stand and eat there, but most likely you would choose not to. Usually the pantry car staff would take orders for lunch/dinner/breakfast or sell snacks & tea/coffee just roaming around.
Considering the time of journey, i think all you can expect is tea & snacks...

Thanks all of you for the advice. We'll bring some food with us then.

Bringing your own food is good. The food in C'garh express is best avoided.

I completed the trip last week. We had a problem finding the right car as we headed to the other end of the train and had to run back to the correct one. We got a private room for 2 people. A boy came to sell ice-cream. We bought two, 25INR each. My father and I slept most of the way to Delhi as we're tired from walking around the Taj Mahal, Agra fort and Sikandra.

About 18.30, a waiter knocked the door and said that he'd bring the dinner. We were quite full from a restaurant in Agra so we declined to have that. Arriving in Delhi, we made a mistake by getting off one station before Nizamudin. The station is very dark and there's no road. We walked past a community using a rough path and there's little light. Finally we reached a street and hired a tuk tuk back to the YMCA where we're staying.
