'Will continue to support all sincere efforts': Sanjeev Kapoor after Air India assures better experience
New Delhi/IBNS: After Air India responded to Sanjeev Kapoor's disappointment over the in-flight food served to him, the celebrity chef has now suggested thorough audits of its services.
On Monday, Kapoor posted pictures of his meal on Twitter comprising “cold chicken tikka with watermelon, cucumber, tomato and sev”.
The chef said that he received a sandwich with “minuscule filling of chopped cabbage with mayo” and “sugar syrup sponge painted with sweetened cream & yellow glaze”.
