One of the worst pantry service. Absolutely disgusting in terms of cleanliness and hygiene and even taste. Chicken biriyani tastes like it was prepared in stone age and preserved. Earlier contractor was awesome. Now, the pantry is handled by Meals on Wheels.
Buy your lunch from Agra, Dinner from Bhopal on day 1. Lunch from Ratnagiri/Chiplun and Dinner from Madgaon on day 2.
