Belive it or not but something like this has existed for Bengali Mach Bhat (Fish Curry & Rice), Dim bhat (Egg Curry & Rice)and Mangsho Bhat (Mutton Curry & Rice) for a good few years at Chennai Central station though nothing like the flash thing that you talk about in Delhi. Memory fails me on the name of the place, but just outside Chennai station there is Bengali place(Hotel if you want to call it that) that you can walk to order the food and tell them your train number/time and coach number and they will deliver hot meals to you in time for your train. They are particularly aimed at Bengali people travelling to Kolkata on trains like Coromandel Express, Howrah Mail etc. I am only guessing that they do phone orders these days.

I saw Mumbai on their list but Mumbai has more than one station.
Sugarnspice I have a better suggestion. Go to Mahesh Lunch home and have a great Seafood lunch/dinner. Whole pomfret spiced & crisp fried, stuffed squids, prawns in coconut gravy.

Thanks Jyoti, went there when I was in India last Christmas. This year is very rushed can only make a couple of weeks. The thali idea sounded great. Well, maybe next time around!
