A straightforward answer for guests who want to order in or bring food from outside during their stay.
Yes — Shivananda Lodge allows outside food in your room. You're free to order in from local restaurants or bring food from nearby eateries near the Gobindanagar Central Bus Stand. The lodge also offers 24x7 room service for guests who'd rather not step out.
Shivananda Lodge doesn't restrict outside food — it's listed as a standard amenity for every room. That's particularly useful for guests visiting Bankura Sammilani Medical College who may already have specific dietary needs sorted through home-cooked meals brought by family, or for anyone who'd rather order from a local eatery near the bus stand than rely on a single in-house menu.
At the same time, the lodge runs 24x7 room service, so if you'd rather not step out — especially late at night or after a long journey — that option is always available too. It's not one or the other; guests use both depending on the day.
