| interesting thread ... wonder why this has been dormant.. some additions from my side ( purely from personal experience & taste ) - chennai : you get a good variety of south indian food in the food joints in chennai central . sambar rice and curd rice worth a mention. - surat : i loved the vada pavs there. its quite popular too. - shoranur : Biryanis - one of the best biryanis i tasted were in shoranur station ( well i dont know whether they retain the same standard, i tasted the last one 10 years back ). you get good biryanis in mangalore and cannanore too. - secunderabad - i find this station quite disappointing from the food perspective. heard that they are planning to improve the food scene with new food joints etc. - somewhere on the wadi -bangalore stretch you get idlis with terrific chutneys. dont remember exactly where. | |

| Benjoe's restaurant in Margao Station does the most amazing everything!! Excellent samosas, biryani to die for and mean channa masala. One of the best I've come across. I love the oldie style train station restaurants!! You know the ones, ran with military precision, where every last grain of rice has to be accounted for. Some amazing food to be had in these places!! | |

| Any train crossing Nagpur turn Orange  I do not know how and from where they appear.....Orange vendors all of a sudden 'attack' the train with bags of garden fresh oranges the moment the train touches the orchard area. The same thing in south parts of Andhra. But this time the attack is with mangos  | |

|  Madhur Vadai Let me add. On the train ride from Bangalore to Mysore you will stop at Madhur. You have to have the famous Madhur Vadai. When we drove even we would go to the train station just to have their Vadai. Madhur Vadai is differenet from Medu Vadai, which is also excellent. Some precautions! Do NOT eat the chutney though the chutney is heavenly! You will get sick! Trust me. I try and eat their chutney only when I am in the tail end of my trip so that I can get sick after I return. Wow! am I hungry now...
