Australian Traveller Bowled Over By Meal Served On Rajdhani Express, Says It's 'First Class'

Babones posted a picture of his dinner from the Rajdhani Express on Twitter, which consisted of rice, dal, roti, vegetable curry and curd.

A sociologist and an associate professor at the University of Sydney, Salvatore Babones, has been mighty impressed by the food served on a Rajdhani Express train. In fact, the professor went on to tag Union Minister for Railways Ashwini Vaishnaw in a tweet and urged him to offer the position of railways' international brand ambassador to the chef Narendra Kumar.

Babones posted a picture of his dinner from the Rajdhani Express on Twitter, which consisted of rice, dal, roti, vegetable curry and curd. He also shared a picture of himself with the train staff.

In another picture, Babones showed empty food packets after finishing the meal. Moreover, he also got a "free ice cream" at the end of his meal,

"This is 2nd Class food on India's national railways? It tastes First Class to me! I'm very impressed, Minister @AshwiniVaishnaw. You should make Mr. Narendra Kumar your international brand ambassador. Five stars for the kitchen in the Rajdhani Express. -- UPDATE: free ice cream!," read the caption of the post shared by the professor.

The tweet was shared two days ago and since then it has amassed 902.1k views, 24.9k likes and several comments.

"I have always liked the food on the Rajdhani Express between New Delhi-Mumbai sector. Great train with great service/facilities. Next time I am in India, I definitely wish to travel with #VandeBharat Express between New Delhi to Varanasi," wrote one user.

"Looks yummy! I have always enjoyed food in Indian trains. More than the domestic flights for sure," wrote another user.

"Have always cherished the food while traveling in train. Whatever quality it was. I always enjoyed the shaking and eating thing, when the train was in movement," wrote a third.
