The only food items that are available now in the dining car are Veg Cutlet and Omelette only/.
The main attraction of this train i.e the dining car has lost its charm as 90% of the previous food items are no longer available. The reason for this given by the staff is that after getting LHB rakes they cannot carry LPG cylinders and only Electric Furnace is available and it is only possible to cook the above two items on electric furnace.

Such dining car is of no use, remove it or Better they revert to old icf cbc rake. Livery of new rake is also not good looking.
All in all uniqueness of this train has been lost in transition

Coffee Tea only rs 7 in such a famed coach. There is where the railways lose the plot. It should be rs 10-15.

Tea coffee are nectars of most travelers.
The price structure is made such that it becomes affordable to all.
if one eats costly food, for him tea coffee price is meagre peanuts.
If person who can not afford costly food items, but wants only tea he too can enjoy

To catch this train at Lonavla, you must take 99808 Pune Lonavla local from any station in between Pune to Lonavla.
If you are living in between Shivaji Nagar to Pimri railway station then go to Pune station. And if you are living in between Pimpri to Lonavla then take local.
Local will reach Lonavla at 7:55!
And within 15 min train will arrive!!!!

more...

When u do reservation for this train then for 2S book D3, D4 and for AC book C4, C3.
These bogies are near to dining car!!!!

This train gives you probably best dine-in experience in the whole of IR. If are a foodie or even if you love travel, this is the train for you. You absolutely MUST travel on this train to get a first hand experience. This is all possible because this train has a 'dining car', unlike the regular pantry car in most of the trains on IR. You can satisfy your taste buds by eating numerous things from the menu. Veg cutlet, baked beans, chicken cutlets, cheese toast, omelette sandwich; just name a thing and you get it hot and fresh.

No the dinning car persons do come to your coach to take the order, and they’ll return pretty quickly with your order as well. Some eatables such as sabudana vada or vadapav etc are carried by them and those you can have on the spot. But I’ll siggest that you go to dinning car to get that amazing experience!

No MST passengers have 2 GS and 2 CC coaches for their travels and usually don’t create any unwanted crowd like in as you said Flying Ranee. But on weekends, the other unreserved pax may be an issue in coaches. The dinning car is like organised chaos in 12124, while in 12123 there’s no such problem because very few people go there in the evening run! So if you really want to enjoy the experience, I’d suggest you go in 12123

Re# 2161979-8              
And when I used this train on 14/2/18 from Pune to Csmt, TTE was also pretty strict. He was asking all the MST passengers ( though very less were sitting on other's seat) to vacate the seat and asked passengers with valid tickets to take their seats. I was in D3. A pretty comfortable journey along with the delicious breakfast of cutlet and bread. Even if one is not able to go to dining car, still he can hav those lip smacking cutlets on his seat along with scenic bhor ghats. A great train with great food.

Re# 2161979-9              
Yeah the train is highly prestigious and has only very less halts, so people going to suburbs of Mumbai and Pune prefer other trains, thereby reducing the unreserved passengers already, plus the TTEs are quite strict too.
Also I’d like to share another tip too, if you want to enjoy the ride with frequent trips to dinning car, book in D3 in case you’re traveling second seating and in C4, if you’re traveling in AC CC.

I did get D3, but didn't want to leave the luggage unattended, so didn't went to DC. But did have the yummy veg breakfast on my seat. Yes, if without /less luggage then definitely D3/C4 are the coaches to look out for. Get settled and few moments after the train departs from Pune, just go to the DC and enjoy.

Travelled in it on 14/2/2018 from PUNE to CSMT. Didn't go to Dining Car as I had lugguage and I didn't want to leave my luggage unattended. But I got a chance to hav one of the famous delicacies of this train. I bought a breakfast packet which included Bread butter, cutlet and it did stood up to the reputation it has. The cutlets were very tasty and I don't remember if I hav ever ate that type of breakfast in any other train. The bread also had generous amount of butter. In rs 30, it was fully paisa wasool and I was in profit. Had it been charged 40-50 then also I would hav no regrets paying for that tasty breakfast. 10/10 for the taste and quality. The quantity was also better than what is served in other trains.
