Food is available on paid basis via Tickets...
However you can opt for food after boarding by paying the same amount..
Also they will give water bottle on day1 and next water bottle on day 2 before lunch as per rule but u can ask for ur 2nd bottle if u want... They will remember this..
Every coach has atleast 1 Pantry Staff
...
more...
for serving food..
.
After departure water bottle and evening snacks will be served..
And they will ask for veg or non veg..
Then near by Gwalior around 7 pm they will start serving Dinner.. they used my side lower berth for distribution of dinner by plating it in tray.. (pics attached)
.
No ice cream or nothing after dinner..
Paid basis items like tea , curd etc available and normal selling like other train..
Next day morning tea, breakfast and lunch..
I asked for tea which cost me 15 rs for wagh bakri chai.. its good in taste..
.
I dont know about taste of food but by looking it i seriously thought that its good that i didn't invested 370 rs in food..
Thanks

Bedding: Clean but in cases of blankets most of them are torn.
Food/Catering: Dinner and breakfast are ok but the lunch is too spicy.
Seating: Ok not too comfortable. Lot of jerks in sleeper coach when engine starts/picks up speed/slows down which even cause one to fall.
WL: Sleeper generally available/rac rest all of the classes in waitlist for about 1 month.
Charging:
...
more...

The food quality and quantity have notched up after the recent hike in catering charges. Pls don't hesitate to ask for extras, I was happily served extra rotis on 2 occasions . And I did see people asking for extra rice, dal etc which he served with a smile on his face. Surprisingly the pantry guys never asked for any tips.

Yes, the housekeeping staff certainly do(I paid rs 10) but I don't remember the catering guys asking for tips from me or my co passengers. Perhaps I was lucky on the day.
