Are you one of those people who hate the food items available in trains and flights? you’re not alone. Granted these meals may not be as good as home food or restaurant food, but they manage to curb our cravings while travelling. However, if the food is also unappealing, it can be a major bump in the ride. We keep hearing and reading stories of passengers complaining about food in flight and in train. But when food experts like chef Sanjeev Kapoor express their concern about in-flight food, we will definitely sit up and take note.
Sanjeev Kapoor Boarded an Air India flight from Nagpur to Mumbai and was quite disappointed with the food they were having on the flight. He even slammed the airline on Twitter for serving such tasteless food to the passengers. It appears that he was served a cold breakfast, sandwich which was almost empty and dessert which was just sugar.

He posted some pictures of his meal on Twitter and wrote, “Walk up @airindiain Nagpur-Mumbai flight 0740. Chilled Chicken Tikka with Watermelon, Cucumber, Tomato and Sev. Small filling of shredded cabbage with mayo.” Sandwiches. Sugar syrup tinted with sponge. Sweet cream and yellow glaze.” Sanjeev Kapoor even took apart his sandwich to show the minimal filling.

I hate eating food on flights. Never book Eat either before or after the trip. At least we can eat hot and healthy food. Even the coffee/tea on the flight is terrible. Even the water is served chilled… I carry my flask and fill it at the water kiosk after check-in.- Jyoti Joshi #SaveSoil (@jyothi_js) February 27, 2023
Watermelon with Chicken 😂🙄
Maybe the chicken is dry so balancing the water 😂- Ankita Chaurasia 🇮🇳 (@Ankita84sia) February 27, 2023
The irony is that they seem to be catering to international travelers where serving cold food is acceptable. This is India and you are Air India. Serve 1 item (Upma, Poha, Paratha, Idli etc.) but ensure quality and quantity. It is not expensive or requires a lot of expertise to make – Navin Kacherla 🇮🇳 (@Navinkcherla) February 27, 2023
Yes they do good service.

In a follow-up post, Sanjeev Kapoor said, “Really! Is this what Indians should eat for breakfast?”
This is not the first time that Air India has stuck in the matter of food. Recently a woman found a stone in her food and posted about it on Twitter. Click here for details,
