Haldiram’s is particularly useful if you don’t want a complete meal. It’s offerings have included snacks such as Aloo Tikki, Bhalla Papdi, Matar Kulcha, Pani Puri, Pav Bhaji, Paneer Tikka And Wraps. The exact selection can differ, so check the menu shown for your selected station before ordering.

Sweets and packaged snacks

This is another reason to consider Haldiram’s when travelling. If you’re visiting relatives or friends at your destination, you can look for Haldiram’s sweets or packaged namkeen/snacks along with your meal. The available products depend on the particular outlet and station. This can be especially convenient if you are travelling for a family visit, celebration or festival and want to take something along without making a separate shopping stop.

Visiting Someone? Order Haldiram’s Sweets or Snacks

Your train food order does not necessarily have to be only about what you eat during the journey. Suppose you’re travelling to your hometown to meet your parents, visiting relatives, or meeting friends after a long time. A box of sweets or some Haldiram’s namkeen can make a simple addition to your luggage.

For example:

• Visiting family: Pick up sweets to share after reaching home.
• Meeting friends: Add packaged snacks or namkeen.
• Attending a small celebration: Look for sweets available through the selected Haldiram’s outlet.
• Long journey: Order a meal along with snacks that you can eat later.

The process is fairly simple.

1. Open IRCTC eCatering

Why Haldiram’s Is A Convenient Option For Your Train Journeys

Haldiram’s is particularly useful when you want different types of food in the same order. You could choose a filling meal if you’re hungry, a smaller snack if you just want something light, or sweets and namkeen if you’re carrying something for people at your destination. That makes it different from treating eCatering as simply a replacement for railway pantry food. For example, on a long journey you could order:

Meal → something filling for lunch or dinner

Snack → something to eat later

Sweet/namkeen → something to take home or share

The available combination will depend on the Haldiram’s menu shown for your selected station. There isn’t a single permanent list that travellers should rely on because food partners and station availability can change. You can find Haldiram’s eCatering services at stations across Nagpur, Vijayawada and Pune. The list will keep on increasing though in the upcoming days. Apart from these there are other vendors, as well as food aggregators whose services you can find and place orders from through eCatering.
