There is a A2B South Indian restaurant located on Platform 1, which provides good quality south indian food but do note good things always come at a cost, and the cost is quite high for railway station standards, one masala dosa being sold for ₹95 (like seriously?) but no compromise in terms of quality and quantity was average for the price paid, parcel service also available, but not sure if available on e-catering, there are station vendors selling packed food too, but can't comment on station vendors food quality as didn't purchase from them.
