This train is referred as King. Paid 3085 for 3A, which includes food. But totally disappointed with food menu.
Evening 2 nos of ₹5 packets of odd brand snacks, one ₹20 son papdi, one off brand orange juice and tea.
Dinner 3 oil free hard roti, paneer gravy, rice Dal and curd. Plus Amul Vanilla ice cream. No soup or soup sticks etc.
Morning

before every one wakes up, catering persons distributed tea and biscuits. When I woke up at 0630, they were collecting back hot water flasks!!. Breakfast was 2 pieces of bread which was so hard, poha, juice and tea. Some got butter, some got ketchup, some others got both and few others nothing!!
Promptly catering persons came for Chai Pani tips!!.
Rajdhani food standards gone down drastically.
If I travel next time, definitely opt out of catering, which can save me ₹400 plus GST.
Better to take MHSK/ GR/ Yuva running on fast slots, compared with this Rajdhani.

ya, pax is free to pay or not.If you don't like the service, just don't pay. In 22221 Rajdhani 1A, they didn't even ask for it. Just did their work, & at the end with folded hands said, "Sir, seva samapt ab". That train has really good food & staff.. Sad to notice this condition of 12951/52.

Re# 5488181-3              
Soup has been stopped in 3a, 2a for long now. Almost 2-3 years or probably somewhat more. Available only 1A. & ya, regarding morning tea, they should serve a bit late to whole train or atleast to those passengers who request them. Feels like they are obliging us by serving the food whose price has already been paid. In overnight rajdhanis like Howrah, sealdah, patna, ranchi, mumbai, AK, SJ Raj, its better to avoid food. In half that amount one can order a good thali from ecatering for dinner.

Disagree:Ticket availability in MB is bad
An alternative way to go to Delhi from Howrah.

If you cannot get tickets from any Delhi bound train from Howrah/Sealdah. You can book in 22303 up to Gaya and then take 12397 from Gaya. Ticket availability in both 22303 and 12397 are good as you can get seats in these two trains around one month before. You will have a layover for 1 hr 30 minutes at Gaya.

Ticket availability in 12397 Mahabodhi Express is good?

You'll always find Mahabodhi Express in heavy WL, even when Sealdah and Howrah Rajdhani will have 100-200 seats empty.
