Dining on board the Deccan Odyssey

Restaurant & Bar Cars

Allow your senses to experience the sights and tastes of India, in the two onboard restaurant cars. Both cars are lavishly designed and decorated, each one different to the other, and feature soft sofa seating and table service from stewards dressed in traditional Maharashtrian attire. Menus offer local and international dishes, and alter depending on where you are at the time of your meals. Using locally sourced ingredients and designed to reflect the landscape you are passing through, menus capture the essence of where you are, while also offering tastes from home. Fine dining meals are accompanied by wines and other drinks of your choice, all served to you in the luxurious surroundings of the dining cars.

The bar car, Mumbai Hi, is a place to relax with a drink after a day of sightseeing, a quiet corner for a cocktail or two, or somewhere to meet fellow passengers over a fine wine after dinner. Intimate and cosy, Mumbai Hi is the spot for a pre-dinner aperitif or a post dinner cognac. It's where you can relax with a soft drink at any time of day, and where you can meet new friends for a catch up after an exciting day's excursion.
