I travelled in this train from DWR to KJM on 10th Oct 2018. As usual the train reached / arrived at DWR at 20:00 hrs. I ordered two Special Thalis for Rs.100/- each. The taste was good. The Thali had Paneer Sabji + Aloo Matar + Daal + Jeera Rice + 3 Pulkas. The size of the Pulka was rather small but they were thick. 4 Pulkas would have been ideal. And the quantity of the Sabjis and Daal was much more than expected. So if you are 2 persons traveling, I strongly recommend you to order just one Special Thali and order one extra plate of Pulkas (3 pulkas for Rs.20/-). But remember, do not order these extra Pulkas when you order your Thali. First order your Thali and when it is delivered to you, only then ask the waiter to get you one extra plate of Pulkas. This will...

be sufficient for 2 persons. And you will have spent just Rs.120/- for 2 persons.

Also, the pantry serves one of the best Matka Dahi (Curd in earthern pot). Priced reasonably at Rs.40/- per pot. Very thick and not at all sour. Excellent in terms of Indian Rlys Catering. I wouldn't have thought twice to even pay Rs.50/- per pot for this kind of taste and quality.

I find that the menu mentioned by you was the one on 22475. I travelled on this train a few months and found the Rs 100 thali very tasty. The Curd was also excellent. Here is my posting of February 2018. /blog/post/3058963. Maybe the contractor is the same?

Did your train pass through Rajasthan? If yes, then the same contractor could be catering in both these trains.

How was the puncuality, patronage etc. After getting down at BAND/KJM was there any difficulty in getting auto/bus/cab? (for non-uber users)

Re# 3901470-5              
As I have already mentioned in the very second sentence - that as usual - meaning the train always reaches BGM / DWR / UBL and all other stations up to KJM late. So 1 star for punctuality.
Regarding Patronage - I am sorry to mention that most people from BGM / DWR / UBL prefer other cheaper trains - as this train has a Dynamic pricing system, it cost a tad bit more than a normal 3A ticket from these stations to Bangalore - BAND / KJM. If IR tries to reduce/scrap the Dynamic fare system, I guess people will start upgrading their mindset to book in this Humsafar train.
Regarding
...

conveyance from BAND - No clues - I did not alight at BAND.
Regarding conveyance at KJM - wait - this train, though does not have an official stoppage at BYPL, it does stop here (at BYPL) on most of the days to let some other trains overtake it or the likes. The catering staff in the train told me that almost on all runs, this train does STOP at BYPL. My own experience was that it stopped at BYPL for 20 mins - MYS - MAS Shatabdi - over took us at about 06:17 - 06:21 am. Then our train reached KJM at 06:45 - 06:50 or so on 11th OCT 2018. As I stay very close to KJM, I did not bother to alight at BYPL and take more better conveyances available there.
At KJM you do get enough buses / autos - but as usual, the Auto Drivers demand exorbitant amounts.
To increase patronage of this train, the dyna fare must be slashed/scrapped - and a stoppage at YPR or atleast at Hebbal is a must - so that residents of west /south Bengaluru can alight and go home in shorter time.

Agree, its better to make it arrive at KJM at 6-630. Present arrival time is inconvenient

Ofcourse it passed through Rajasthan, at that time 22475 was the Bikaner-Coimbatore AC express. Now it starts from Hisar.
