Exploring Regional Cuisines Through Our Train Food Delivery
Traveling by train in India is an experience rich with sights, sounds, and, of course, flavors. One of the most delightful aspects of train travel is the opportunity to explore regional cuisines without leaving your seat. Our train food delivery service, Train Zakia, brings the diverse culinary landscape of India to your journey, offering a range of dishes from aromatic Biriyani to traditional Jain food. Let's embark on a flavorful journey through the regional cuisines available on our menu.

Biriyani: A Symphony of Spices
Biriyani, a dish synonymous with celebration and festivity, is a favorite among train travelers. Originating from Persia and perfected in India, Biriyani is a fragrant rice dish cooked with aromatic spices, saffron, and either chicken, mutton, or vegetables. Each region in India has its own version of Biriyani, reflecting the local flavors and ingredients.
- Hyderabadi Biriyani: Known for its spicy and tangy taste, Hyderabadi Biriyani is cooked using the 'dum' method, where meat and rice are cooked together in a sealed pot, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Lucknowi (Awadhi) Biriyani: This version is milder and uses a unique technique of cooking called 'pukka,' where the meat and rice are cooked separately and then layered.
- Kolkata Biriyani: Influenced by Awadhi cuisine, Kolkata Biriyani includes boiled eggs and potatoes, adding a distinctive flavor and texture to the dish.
At Train Zakia, we ensure that each serving of Biriyani retains the authenticity and richness of its regional roots, providing you with a culinary journey while on the move.
North Indian Cuisine: A Flavorful Tapestry
North Indian cuisine is renowned for its robust flavors and hearty dishes. Our menu includes a variety of North Indian delights that cater to diverse tastes.
- Butter Chicken: This creamy, tomato-based curry with tender chicken pieces is a favorite among many. The balance of tangy and sweet flavors makes it a perfect dish for any time of the day.
- Paneer Butter Masala: For vegetarians, paneer butter masala offers a rich and creamy alternative. The soft, succulent paneer cubes in a buttery tomato sauce are a treat for the taste buds.
- Dal Makhani: A quintessential North Indian dish, dal makhani is made from black lentils slow-cooked with butter and cream. The result is a creamy, flavorful dal that pairs perfectly with naan or rice.
Our North Indian offerings ensure that you get a taste of the region's beloved dishes, bringing comfort and satisfaction to your train journey.
South Indian Cuisine: A Celebration of Flavors
South Indian cuisine is known for its diverse and flavorful dishes that vary from state to state. Our train food delivery service includes a selection of South Indian dishes that are sure to tantalize your taste buds.
- Dosa and Idli: These fermented rice and lentil-based dishes are light and healthy, perfect for a wholesome meal on the go. Served with coconut chutney and sambar, they offer a burst of flavors in every bite.
- Hyderabadi Dum Biriyani: Distinct from its North Indian counterpart, South Indian Biriyani has a unique preparation style and spice profile, making it a must-try.

By offering these South Indian delicacies, Train Zakia allows you to experience the rich culinary traditions of the southern states without leaving your seat.
Jain Food: A Culinary Philosophy
Jain cuisine, adhering to the principles of Jainism, is known for its simplicity and adherence to non-violence. This means no root vegetables and a focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients. Our Jain food offerings are prepared with utmost care, ensuring they are pure and sattvic.
- Jain Paneer Tikka: A delectable dish where paneer is marinated in a blend of spices and grilled to perfection, without using any garlic or onions.
