Mumbai: Popular Indian Chef Sanjeev Kapoor on Monday criticised Tata Group-owned Air India for the food served by the airline while he was travelling from Nagpur to Mumbai.

The chef posted images of the food served to him on Twitter to voice his displeasure.

The celebrity chef complained that he was served cold chicken tikka with watermelon, and cucumber, a sandwich with miniscule filling, and a 'sugar syrup sponge' dessert.

Air India was quick in responding on the micro-blogging site as the airlines replied: " Customer experience is important to us and we regret that we've let you down. Request you please DM the flight details, date of travel, and seat number for us to highlight this to the catering team for necessary review and action."
