Restaurant On Wheels
This innovative concept involves repurposing old train coaches into attractive dining spaces adorned with decorations and offering a diverse menu, including meals, snacks, and regional cuisine. The initiative initially debuted on February 26, 2020, at Asansol Railway Station in West Bengal and received an overwhelmingly positive response, leading to further expansion in Mumbai and Nagpur. To date, more than 150,000 citizens have enjoyed the delicious offerings at these locations.
