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# 2161979-9              
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.

Food onboard has improved massively, for lunch 3 puris, paneer mutter, mix vegetable, dal, rice and pickle is served which costs ₹100. For snacks they have pasta as well for ₹50; and while it wasn’t exactly very good, the sheer idea of serving pax something different is pleasing!

To be fair, I don’t mind being charged ₹100 for a meal because you can’t get a decent meal for that amount anywhere else; even the food that we order from E-catering sevices costs more than that. But the main question here is of hygiene and quality; which was good!

I’ve seen way worse food on premium trains than this and so I’m happy to get something good for ₹100. Even the snacks for which they usually overcharge, were pretty decent

Yes surely you can! The pantry contract is for both UP and DN trains so you can enjoy the same kind of food in 22920 as well

The existing DD coaches with chairs reclining a bit more would be very ideal. Maybe capacity of the coach could come down a bit against the existing 120, but even if it comes down to 100, it would be very profitable for railways.

Bit of a surprise this really because it’s RSA Suryanagari generally is pretty well maintained! In fact all the NWR trains to Mumbai have maintenance of the highest class
