India’s Oldest Flight Kitchen - Air India’s New Onboard Menu 

Mate, give some love too for Aotearoa's finest... Air NZ.

Karl,your trip to new zealand that flights food was shocking.! considering the flight departed India!

Hello, Karl how are you doing?

@Sam, what the man is representing is not at all a pan Indian dish. It is only the North Indian cuisine, which the chef is trying to present as pan-Indian. They do it deliberately in order to establish the North Indian hegemony throughout India, in terms of food or promoting undeveloped Hindi as the "national language" of India.

After watching the Qatar and Emmirates Kitchen. Air india has a long way to go in terms of Hygine and food variety. If Air India has to become as good as emirates, or Qatar airways they have to completely overhaul the airindia Kitchen and sorry they have to fire the catering staff which is stuck in 1980.

@jeanpierre-st7rl Yes. I agree. Even the lounge experiences. I believe you have visited the business class lounge in Delhi. There will be very, very limited options. The loyalty card lounge is better than this. If the AirIndia lounge in the capital city of India is like that, how the people think about Airindia.

I am Indian Airplane spotter ❤😊😊❤❤

​@@haripradeeppalanki9358😊😅

​@@jeanpierre-st7rlohh yeah careful maybe you are eating desert sand with your food in Qatar and Emirates airline😂😂

That's how business should keep up with the market and would not have been possible if TATA hadn't taken over..... PR plays very important role in aviation industry..... So win win for both Air India as well as Sam😂😂

Hey you partly right but i have had you so called both airlines food and they suck compared to what airindia offers with authentic flavourful real hand made stuff.. just dont judge on visial try it out before discounting airindia

@@rocky4219771 I am talking about Hygine. Even i want airindia to succeed. If you want to blindly suppport AI i am not going to stop you.

By paying*

That was the catering company not the airline.

Sam videos show parts of travel we do not see. Fantastic insight, presented in a natural way.

@@johniii8147 same parent organisation.

I flew Air India several times in the 90s... unless their standards have vastly improved, NEVER AGAIN. Coming from someone of Indian heritage, there is also just no getting around how Indian passengers en masse tend to behave. Western social decorum is not a thing, such as suppressing bodily noises, and being considerate of fellow travelers such as when waiting to use the lavatory. Speaking of the lavatory... various Indian foods are well-known for being unfriendly to the GI tract... so... yeah.... 😑

@@nahor88 I had my own reservations about them.. Was pleasantly surprised. P.s. It's not the Indian food that's bad for the GI track (unless you're chowing down from every street hawker in Delhi).. It's your stomach not being used to the kind of food... Not the spice, just the region... Your gut bacteria not being used to it, etc. There's an Indian origin British doctor here in RU-vid, he explains why it happens and how to avoid it while enjoying the food. Dr. Karan, I believe.

😷

it is because Air India is now owned by tata

@@lighthousestudio15 which is a good thing

Hi SimpleAviation!😀

I don’t trust them at all coz they’ve did that before but few weeks later they went back to zero , so no matter how they bring all this influencers to beautify their image to the world, that won’t hide their worst side, recklessness and negligence with huge corruption, last but not least who’s gonna eat from someones hand who’s not wearing gloves 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

That kitchen was always owned by Sats nothing changed just book a flight to east in their b788 you will see how broken the aircraft are

@@BrompMed The difference is The airline is currently owned by Tata Group and they are already spending billions on upgrades and new airlines. You will see a totally revamped airline with a new livery. They own one of the finest hotel brand in the world -The Taj Group of Hotels. We will start witnessing changes and I am sure the airline will be world-class in few years

@@John-kz9zy Dont bother brother.... he is just a jealous fellow... an algerian living in singapore.

World class airline only for Desi travellers. We will not match the standards of Emirates or Singapore Airlines

@@surpotel8016 says who..this emirates has majority indian workers in high salaried jobs..

@@PhotonShower so if Air India pays high salaries does that mean high airline standards ?

@@surpotel8016 1. Air India as we know was in GoI hands all the time. when Air India was maintained by Tatas, it was the 1st airline in Asia to have all jet airliners. 2. Tatas are working on different aspects of the airline experience. 3. just see the welcome drink, every airline has only orange, mango, apple juice, sparkling water, wine, champagne. But colorful drinks will lift your mood. 4. Tata have a lot of experience in hospitality. 5. Taj Sats Kitchen which delivers food to ME3, SIA from Delhi is owned by Tata. 5. Vistara has a very impressive food and service. 6. Cabins will be overhauled with new interiors. 7. see ex-Delta one Suites, 777-200 ULR, with decent cabins and good food and service, AI will become one of the best in the world as no way GoI is involved in this now. Wholly owned by Tatas and now the flights will not stop for some Minister or MP or babus.

@@JamesBarker-yo2dfI wish them good luck with our Desi travellers

Lmao they indian what you mean accent

Hmm well they are Indian.

India has diverse accent Southern ones speak different, north speak different...north eastern speak way different.

A different perspective to how much goes into this industry.

That didn't appear to be a kitchen with a extreme level of hygiene.

@@johniii8147 bro this is like a microchip fabrication facility compared to the average Indian restaurant kitchen.

@@Muonium1 Perhaps but nowhere close to most airline kitchens from the major international airline kitchens.

@@johniii8147 Most international airlines with hospital-like hygiene in the kitchen have food that tastes like hospital food. Air India has food that is made with love and passion and is bursting with flavor.

Did you notice the guy filling samosas with his bare hands. No hand gloves

@AngryAsian69 .May be looking ''amazing'' but the test or taste of the pudding is in the eating. Samjhay??

@moa7152 ONLY colorful but about taste I better not comment.OK say ok

Hygiene?!where lol

🇮🇳🤝🇵🇰

Pls don’t 💣

Thanks!🙏👍👌😀

We indians haven't forgotten what you did with Air India IC814 ! Remember that

Yes things to improve

Your ultra pro max. Hygienist can't fight viruses

It is an Indian authentic street food cooking environment. Bringing their passengers to have incredible and unique street food experience on board. 🤣

@Till Late No More no with this statement I will disagree with you not all catering unit are same they are really good in terms of everything thing I have been working in auditing for Food for past 12 yrs

​​@@FAHADKHAN-zi9sm I was joking. Please don't take it seriously. By looking at their hygiene standards in food handling without gloves, food storage, facilities maintenance, workers self hygiene (untrimmed long stained nails without wearing gloves from packing sandwiches, dirty yellowish uniforms), eating in commercial catering kitchen. Without taking seriously actions to meet the international catering standards, their goal to become another Singapore Airlines, Qatar, Emirates is just a dream. Thank you for Sam honestly showing us how an unprofessional commercial catering kitchen is. I don't have a steel-made stomach, Sam's video honestly taught me how to choose an airline to fly. 🤣

Left hand food handling without wearing a glove after used toilet = adding extra authentic favour = natural MSG = immunity booster = natural constipation medicine 😉

mate, you'll get the taste of extra spices without the gloves, considering where those hands have been.

Having gloves doesn't automatically mean anything

So do people at restaurants wear gloves and cook ? I have never seen even Michelin star chefs wearing one

Typical foreigners who only have problem with Indians not wearing gloves but if someone from their own country doesn't have gloves no one even complaints

Indian meals lack cleanliness

Very true. Makes one wonder how they are able to monitor the quality of the food when cooking in such a huge amount. Does it really taste as good as mom's? Cheers.

@@marcogman8905 Not as good as your Moms Marco. 😃 from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

@@rogerhargreaves2272 Lol. Mom doesn't do Indian, but does a mean Mexican. Hahaha. I would love to visit Wales - castles, countryside, and coastline. All looks so beautiful. Have a wonderful rest of your weekend. Take care.

@@marcogman8905 Mexican food is great 👍. Plenty of Castles here, one close to my house. Have a great weekend.

I am Indian Airplane spotter ❤😊😊❤❤

exactly. And now with lot of people from villages, small towns, tier -2,3 cities going abroad and working, for them, Air India will be very convenient. From a Big US City like ORD, SFO, JFK, LAX to DEL or BOM is great. But once they get the new aircraft, they should start 3 or 4 times weekly flights to HYD, MAA, CCU as well from US and Europe. It will even further take away the market share from the ME3 & SIA. New Drinks, with pomegranates, other fruits is a awesome innovative idea, which no other airline did think of, just giving champagne, orange or apple juice and Sparkling water. Remember ME3, SIA are there not because of their own people. But we indians are the majority ones who are still working 24 hours a day, behind the scenes. Lot of it is done by machines anyways. New airports being constructed at DEL, BOM should be good and offer seamless connectivity with a awesome price point. I cannot wait TATA to get all of their Wide body and shake the ME3 and SIA.

Will take time for Air India to re-establish themselves tho!...... Airlines like Etihad,Qatar air., Emirates, Singapore air., are all doin. an incredible job but yeah if Air India can really up their game...then why would Indians prefer other airlines with hours of layovers when u can have a direct flight?!(Eg. Delhi - NewYork)

Very unlikely. Those other carriers will always be able to flight options that Air India will never be able to.

Singapore airlines just gave their staff eight months bonus, just months post Covid when they resumed flights

you're dreaming!

Practicing foreign passengers' stomachs to be iron made stomachs 😂

yeah Vistara also uses Taj sats. they have updated their meals pretty quickly. Lets see Sky chef pick up pace with Air India . Taj, Vistara and Air india are all owned by Tata group now

Eventually I believe Tata will shift to TajSATS for all AI catering since its under them

How is this not hygienic

@@s125ishgloves

Any idea why haven't they already shifted to Tajsats ? Vistara's food is amazing. They have coffee with Starbucks branding in business and first class in vistara. But still haven't seen them in Air India. I wonder if they are waiting for the A350-900s to unleash all the power at their disposal. New livery, a new female mascot with the maharaja, new welcome drinks as shown in the video and maybe even Starbucks branding?
