George Buckley’s viral Instagram video showcases India’s seamless railway food delivery via Zomato, sparking admiration for IRCTC’s e-catering innovation.
New Delhi, April 11 – British vlogger George Buckley is winning hearts across the internet after sharing his surprise and admiration for India’s railway food delivery system. In a now-viral video posted to Instagram, Buckley captured the moment he received a Zomato food order mid-journey, delivered right to his AC First Class seat aboard a train from Kanpur to Varanasi.
“The UK needs to take notes,” Buckley captioned the post, while enthusiastically narrating his experience to his 45,000+ followers.
Using Zomato, an official IRCTC (Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation) partner for e-catering, Buckley simply entered his 10-digit PNR and selected his meal to be delivered at Kanpur Central station, during a scheduled stop. The order, which cost him just Rs 345, arrived on time and was enjoyed onboard with a co-passenger.

India’s Metro Also Wins Praise
Buckley isn’t alone in his praise for India’s transport systems. Just last month, German YouTuber Alex Welder lauded India’s metro networks, especially in Delhi and Agra, calling them “better than some Western European systems.”
“I had many misconceptions about Indian transport. But Delhi Metro has phone charging points, women-only seats, and even platform screen doors,” Welder noted.
His remarks echoed a growing global sentiment that India’s infrastructure—often underappreciated—has achieved world-class efficiency in key areas like public transport and food delivery.
