Welcome to Kanpur Central!! Hold on tight! Your train is about to enter one of the busiest, noisiest, and dustiest railway stations in North India. Prepare yourself to see and feel the madness, the mayhem, and the unfiltered UP energy! Wait, there’s one more thing that you will experience the minute your train pulls into Kanpur Central—the mouth-watering aroma of desi ghee and Indian spices!
Truth: There is nothing as sad as gawking at the “watery” Dal and “cold” Rice dished out by the pantry car. Don’t torture your taste buds with tasteless rail food, especially when you are passing through a foodie heaven like Kanpur. It’s an insult to the city’s age-old food culture to eat anything that is not crunchy, cheesy, and dripping with flavor. Just don’t do it!
Good news: With Gofoodieonline, you can forget that sad “pantry meal” and place an IRCTC food order right to your seat! Craving for the famous Thaggu ke Laddu, a spicy North Indian Thali, or a cheesy Pizza? No problem, Gofoodieonline will deliver it piping hot and fresh to your berth. We are here to connect Kanpur’s legendary food joints to your foodie heart.
Kanpur (Cawnpore) is the Industrial Capital of Uttar Pradesh. But the city also proudly calls itself the “Food Capital of UP”.
Trains crossing this station (Most Rajdhani/Shatabdi/Express trains including Pushpak Express) have a long halt here. This average 10-15 minute break in your otherwise “flight mode” journey is the perfect opportunity to transform it into a memorable foodie experience. Forget splurging on unhealthy snacks sold by vendors on platforms in uncovered polythene packets, with a thin layer of dust on it. Use this stop to safely book food via our app.
We are authorized IRCTC eCatering partners, which means every dish we deliver is from FSSAI-approved, hygienic restaurants. We are on a mission to be the ONLY railway food order website in Kanpur people search for when they want quality.
There is just one rule in Kanpur: Swag and Swad (Style and Taste).
No, you cannot—I repeat, cannot—travel through Kanpur without trying its world-famous sweets and snacks. Please don’t even dare to do that; do you even know what Kanpur is? Below are some local “celebrities” from Kanpur’s culinary world that we can deliver to your seat.
Remember the famous punch dialogue from the movie Bunty aur Babli – “Aisa Koi Saga Nahi, Jisko Humne Thaga Nahi”. But please don’t get scared by its weird name. These Laddus are pure delight! Made with Khoya (Mawa), Suji (Semolina), and Dry Fruits, they are not just sweets but energy bombs! Crunchy, sweet, and simply divine. Get a box of these as a souvenir with your lunch order.
Kanpur’s sweet shops seem to love weird Punjabi names! If you thought “Thaggu ke Laddu” was the only North Indian nickname, you are in for a surprise. Badnam Kulfi is another famous sweet from Kanpur that pairs amazingly well with any savory food order you place on the train. Rich, creamy, and full of nuts, it’s the perfect dessert.
Do you have a Kanpur halt in the morning? We suggest you do not order that sad black tea with the left-over tea bag doing the “dip-dip” dance. Order a hot and fresh Kulhad Chai with a crispy Samosa or Kachori instead. The earthy fragrance of the Kulhad (earthen cup) that gets added to the tea is something that no plastic or paper cup can match.
Kanpur is a city with strong Mughlai influence. Sultani Dal (creamy lentil preparation) and Galouti Kebabs in Kanpur are famous for being so soft that they just melt in your mouth, bursting with flavor. A must-order for a dinner order on the train if you enjoy rich and “heavy” food.
Kanpur Central is where people from Delhi, Howrah, Mumbai, and Patna cross paths during lunch and dinner time. If you are stuck with “What to eat?”, we have a menu for that:
Deluxe Veg Thali: A thali that can satiate a “human’s” appetite. This thali includes Paneer Butter Masala, Dal Fry, Jeera Rice, Butter Roti, Salad, Pickle, Raita, and a Sweet. Comfort food to the maximum and “Paisa Vasool”.
Non-Veg Thali: Chicken Curry or Egg Masala, served with Rice and Rotis. It is spicy, oily (healthy kind), and filling.
Biryani Bowls: We have Veg Dum Biryani, Chicken Biryani, or even Paneer Biryani. They will all be delivered hot and fresh in spill-proof bowls with Raita.
Mini Meals: If you are not that hungry, try a Combo Meal like Rajma Chawal, Chole Chawal, or Kadhi Chawal. It just feels like “Mummy ke haath ka khana”.
One train compartment is a reflection of mini-India. Everyone has a different mood and dietary requirement. We try to fulfill them all:
Traveling with elders or on a diet? We know it is super hard to find pure food in public transport. So we have partnered with pure vegetarian restaurants that cook Jain food in train (No Onion, No Garlic) in a separate hygienic kitchen.
Time to spice things up! If you love a non-veg meal, the pantry is a big “No-No”. Order from our non-veg menu for spicy Chicken Korma, Mutton Rogan Josh, or Chicken Tikka. The packaging is extra tight so that there is no leakage or smell in your bag.
Traveling with kids in a train is super exciting! They will soon start a tantrum if you offer them a simple Roti-Sabzi. Keep them entertained with hot Pizza, Burgers, French Fries, or Pasta. These items are easy to eat, clean, and the younglings will keep busy too.
Feeling sick? Or just counting your calories? We have options like Boiled Vegetables, Khichdi, Oats, and Warm Milk. Just mention it in the instructions when you book food.
