Best Air India In-Flight Meal?

[Krishna Kumar]

Hey everyone,

I’m flying with Air India soon and noticed there are multiple meal options available.
Before choosing, I wanted to check with frequent flyers here about what actually tastes good on board.

Here’s the list of meal options I can choose from:

🍗 Non-Vegetarian Options

• Hindu Non-Vegetarian Meal
• Muslim Meal

🥦 Vegetarian Options

• Asian Vegetarian Meal
• Lacto-Ovo Vegetarian Meal
• Jain Meal
• Vegan Meal

🍎 Special / Light Options

• Diabetic Meal
• Gluten-Free Meal
• Fruit Platter

🧒 Others

• Child Meal

---

A bit about me:
I’m non-vegetarian and really enjoy chicken, but I don’t like curd in its raw form - mainly because of the taste.
I’m fine with it if it’s cooked or used for marination though.

I’ve come across mixed opinions - some say the Muslim Meal is the most flavorful, while the Hindu Non-Vegetarian Meal is okay but on the milder side.

So I’d like to hear from those who’ve flown Air India recently:

👉 Which meal option do you prefer and why?
👉 What would you recommend for dinner?
👉 And what works best for breakfast?

Looking forward to your suggestions and meal experiences. ✈️🍱

You are Non Veg , so can't advice 😭
But for Veg : Jain Food or Fruit Platter can be considered.

 

[tetrapack]

I always book Jain meal, even though I am a non-veg
You get it before everyone else (wont get veg or nonveg meal, only special meals)

I have tried the Fruit Platter on my last flight, as it was midnight and I had already filled my stomach at the lounge 😀
I am considering veg also for breakfast. Thank you 🙂

How was your experience with fruit platter quantity and quality , variety and freshness !!!

 

[Krishna Kumar]

How was your experience with fruit platter quantity and quality , variety and freshness !!!

The quantity is adequate if you have a normal appetite, but it may not be sufficient if you are extremely hungry.
The quality is good. Not so fresh.

I remember they provided a few pieces of pineapple, papaya, muskmelon, grapes and kiwi.

 

[Kushagra_]

Lacto ovo always 👍🏻

Air india never 👍🏻👍🏻 why would you

Lemme tell you a secret trick

Spoiler: TRICK

Choose non veg one then ask the lady who is distributing "After distribution if you are left with extra veg one can I try that as well and mostly they say yes 🙂 "

#PoorIntrovertMe 😅

Let me try to try this 😝

Oh! Does the biriyani fall under "Hindu Non vegetarian meal" option?

I don't know, it was booked by my family members...

Air India Economy

 

[Dragon_slayer]

Air India Economy

Then lounge me hi pet bhar ke kha lena. And in flight ask what they have, if you like it then take otherwise just eat desert.

Generally the quality and taste of food of Air India is not that good.

Surprisingly i have tasted better indian meals in International carriers like Etihad compared to any Indian carriers.

Perhaps by trying this you'll also teach your neighbour in journey a new tip 😁

No bhai

Very less people ask (those who know actually)

And they don't deny
And what's the harm in asking anyways



*If you just wrote in joke

Then okayy otherwise the above justification 🙂
