To be very honest, good food on a flight is a rarity. There are a handful of airlines that actually serve a decent meal and we aren’t just making this up. A man travelling by a Vistara flight recently took to X (formerly Twitter) and shared how the meal served was as “inedible as hostel mess” food. This tweet seemed to have hit home for many netizens who then shared their own bad food experiences in the comments.
Wow! @airvistara your main meal aboard UK820 this evening evoked a sense of nostalgia! That of near inedible meals served in a badly run hostel mess by indifferent cooks! Insipid flavours, the sort of texture that would indicate the chicken should have ideally been consumed hours… pic.twitter.com/Gdgadwoq0C

Kripal Amanna is a blogger who shares his food experience with the world. In his latest post on X (Formerly Twitter), he shared his bad experience with the food served on a Vistara flight he was travelling with. In the sarcasm-filled post, he compared the food served on the flight to a “badly run hostel mess.” He went on to call the food “inedible” and “insipid” and the dessert “a kindergarten cookery project.”
Vistara was quick to respond to this tweet. They said they were disheartened by Kripal’s disappointment but reassured him that all their food is made “keeping the highest standards of quality in mind.”
Hi Kripal, all our meals are prepared keeping the highest standards of quality in mind, and we are disheartened to note of your disappointment. (1/2)

This response wasn’t enough to calm the netizens in the comment section and they had a lot to say to the airline.

Let’s just say netizens have a lot of complaints about the food served in Vistara. The flight that was once commended for its good food found a lot of people with bad experiences in the comment section of Kripal Amanna’s tweet. Here are some you cannot miss.
On a Vistara flight, had spinach rice with baby corn sprinkled on it. Till then I was not aware it was a dish.

Completely agree.. I was served some chicken curry rice on my flight from SG to MUM.. Was like chewing through raw masala.. Suffered heartburn for rest of the day. The dessert was really good though.

Yes, agree. i took a @airvistara flight last month and the in-flight food was really underwhelming.

@airvistara serves pathetic food these days.
A few times I took Mumbai- Ahmedabad morning flight. Every time they serve something called Pongal in the breakfast which is inedible.

Fully agree Sir. They serve food which is horrible, I too have faced the same.

That’s the reason I stopped flying with them. One of the worst experiences I ever had.@airvistara

As a frequent flyer, I can testify that their food quality has gone down considerably over the last 2 years.

Some people even showed support for the airline and gave their two cents.
@airvistara should hire contestants from Masterchef for their onflight journey to appease the flyer self certified chefs to satisfy their taste buds who strive hard to get recognition on Twitter. # value the food in hands !! many are deprived of it.

I would definitely complain over stale , spoiled food . But bad tasting food , plating , texture ? Common , we can live with it once in a while.
— MadDog (@pkconnectedz) March 8, 2024
Bad luck, I travel frequently and prefer Vistara, and never experienced bad quality food. I always liked it…

@Amul_Coop I was once a fan of Vistara food and recently it’s getting pathetic on par with food served in IRCTC. Briyani was without any taste and for the first time seen Amul butter in liquid state not sure whether it’s expired or Amul butter standard is like that.
