Sanjeev Kapoor, a well-known Indian chef, has complained to Air India about the in-flight food they served him on his flight from Nagpur to Mumbai. His recent tweet included an image of cold chicken tikka served with watermelon, cucumber, tomato, and sev, along with the comment, “Is this what Indians should eat for breakfast?”
This occurs as more and more travelers voice their dissatisfaction with the calibre of aero plane cuisine.
Taking to Twitter, the celebrity chef expressed his disappointment and wrote, “Wake Up Air India…Nagpur-Mumbai 0740 flight. Cold Chicken Tikka with watermelon, cucumber, tomato & sev. Sandwich with minuscule filling of chopped cabbage with mayo. Sugar syrup Sponge painted with sweetened cream & yellow glaze.”
He continued by criticising the airline and questioned whether this was actually a depiction of Indian food that should be offered for breakfast.
Sanjeev Kapoor’s post infuriated many other users because it made them think of their own unpleasant aircraft food-related experiences. They believed that despite the outrageous costs guests were paid, the dishes’ flavour and quality fell short. Many others were dissatisfied and disappointed by the discrepancy between the price and the quality.
“I got served cold sandwiches on bangalore mumbai flight today that was not even served in a plate, n best part after landing flight was held for 20mins as no ground bus to carry passengers to terminals….(Air India) what an experience,” wrote a user.
“Oh you got much better deal. They served that for domestic travel. See what they served in JFK DEL flight. First one is rotten fish. Second one Biriyani with Dal. Don’t know to which culinary school that great cook went. And they give canned response and nothing will change,” commented the other while sharing images of the food they were served on flight.
Meanwhile, the Tate-owned carrier responded to Khana Khazana host’s tweet and wrote, “Sir, your feedback is paramount to us. We’re continually upgrading our services and from tomorrow this sector will be catered to by our partners Taj Sats and Ambassador. Trust you will have a better experience with the food onboard going forward!”
The 58-year-old chef thanked the airline for its message and said he sincerely hoped for a thorough examination of their offerings to guarantee that passengers consistently have a positive travel experience.
“I will continue to support all sincere efforts. Today’s flight; service by crew and on time performance deserve a Thumbs Up,” he ended.
