I’ve always liked the food on Air India. It’s full flavour. It was a nice surprise to get naan or roti with your meal too. I’m looking forward to trying this new menu one day!
@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.
By allowing an aviation legend like Sam Chui into the Air India Operations, I think Air India has got a great a PR machine going. Respect to you Sam, we avgeeks live vicariously thru you.
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😂😂

@@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.

Very impressive. I have been hoping that since air India was taken over by TATA That the overall product would improve and I do believe it’s coming. It’s a long way to go but looking at what they’re doing now with food is certainly a huge step in the right direction.
I love how Air India has started to overhaul the company and it's image. The redesign of the website and Sam collaborating with Air India shows that the airline is serious. I wish it all the success in the world!
Air India had first started their very own kitchen called 'Chefair' under a subsidiary company which also owned and managed Centaur Hotel in Santacruz. Food prepared by them was way better than any flight kitchens which came later. Unfortunately they closed down and opted to resource from Flight kitchens.
Great to see Sam taking interest in the airline beyond bed, bath and linen. Air India has lot riding for it and if Sam's inputs can help then its not a bad idea.
It was funny when Sam commented “fresh” when eating the bread straight from the oven and that too standing next to the oven. It was like calling a fish “fresh” sitting in the fishing boat.
With the new menu and extreme level of hygiene, it seems like Air India will regain its former glory soon .. btw thanx for covering this kitchen... Love from India🇮🇳
@@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.
Thank you Sam for taking us on a tour of the flight Kitchen. All that food sure is yummy. Looking forward to the new and upgraded menu on AI's flights soon.
The food looks delicious and colourful as the drink menu, I hope western factories across the world take note to start producing new enchanting flavours for the future frequent flyers.
Finally the change can be felt as, Air India change hands from corrupt government officials to its respectful owner. Thanks Tata for saving the great Maharaj of Indian aviation.
I always prefer Airindia for my international travel. The best food, hospitality, and mostly non-stop flights. I really like the food taste and quality. I never feel that i have missed my home food
Wow, getting hungry watching this! Genuinely want to try some of these meals and drinks, especially with the labor of love it is for these kitchens to make by hand! Excited to try flying AI again.
I like it. No assembly line type preparation. Just a dedicated group of passionate chefs preparing vibrant Indian cuisine for people around the world in keeping with traditional Indian cooking techniques/principles and the sourcing of the finest local ingredients. It must smell so good in that kitchen.

It would be an interesting battle to see air india take on the gulf carriers and some European carriers. Unless air india is cheaper, frequent fliers would go for the gulf carriers. Indian service mentality would struggle to compete with how the gulf carriers have. Even transiting in a big Indian airport is way more hectic than doing it in the middle east major airports.

Even in the worst days of Air India, I always simply loved the food. I’ve travelled many airlines but for me nothing compares the taste, pallate and full macros considerations of Air India.
Dirt, dead skin, hair and sweat on bare hands are natural favour enhancing spices that make the food more authentic favour. No gloves = less plastic waste pollution = more environmental friendly = less cost on gloves. Using bare left hand to handle food after butt washing in toilet that can enhance the food more tasty. Without wearing masks, chefs' saliva is also a favour enhancer to the food. Dirt from greasy dirty walls, benches, old utensils without covered by lids/food wrap are also offering more favour to the food. Cockroaches would love to taste the food in uncovered utensils which is good for adding extra favour and protein to foods. Yummy!
Surprised many of the process is not automated and hygienic? Stuffing the samosa filing without gloves! Woah...Guess they are not going for any ISO ratings..
2:39 For commercial kitchen hygiene standards, nobody is allowed to eat in the kitchen, except chef testing the taste of food. Showing us how they "meet" the commercial kitchen hygiene standards is. 😱
There are some good changes done in the AirIndia esp in the overseas business class. They are giving good quality nightware and good vanity kit also. Even the quality of food improved.
Finally found that one white racist individual who's ready to comment on Indian food based on his views on some tiktok videos while working at a minimum wage job at the nearest McD.
*TATA is going to take the market share from Singapore Airlines, Emirates, Qatar, and Ethiad. When the Indian flyers have an option to have an equally good product to go the US from India, they will not take other airlines and have a layover in Singapore, Dubai, Doha, or Abu Dhabi. All these airlines will lose a huge customer base from India who are traveling to the US and coming back to the India from the US.*
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)
Left hand food handling without wearing a glove after used toilet = adding extra authentic favour = natural MSG = immunity booster = natural constipation medicine 😉
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
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
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?
That's just the one instance. Remaining chefs are wearing elastic gloves while preparing the sandwiches, wraps, arranging the treys etc. Those samosas are going into the deep fryer anyway which will kill the germs in an instant. Don't know what's there to cry about this. However the utensils need to be replaced with newer ones.
Regarding some of the workers not wearing gloves, would like to mention that a lot of these items are just not convenient to make wearing gloves. Like those naans and rotis in that earthen oven with charcoal inside, or those balls dipped in batter and fried in that cauldron of boiling hot oil. Anyway everything is cooked at such high temperatures and so much spices no bacteria will survive anyway.
@@zephyrsky__ 5:18 Not only Samosas but Sandwiches too. See the person's long, stained, untrimmed nails on his left hand who is packing the sandwiches without wearing gloves. 🤢🤮

After watched this video, it gives me some idea of not to fly with particular airlines.
Some really delicious meals. I was slightly disappointed that they cooked most of their meals with bear hands. Of course, this eliminates waste from gloves but gloves do save us from the waste of hands! 😞
@@SChinmay Handling food by bare left hand is the best way to add extra spices and making the food more tasty. There are benefits of using bare hands to handle food: 1. Boosting eaters immunity. 2. Eater body detoxification. 3. Less plastic gloves waste pollution 4. Less cost on gloves 5. Sweat from hands are natural salt. 5. Human hairs are good rich of calcium and protein 5. More efficient without wasting of time on changing gloves. 6. Eaters can feel food makers' skills and cells that machines can't offer. 7. Helping eaters to solve constipation problem

Dirt, dead skin, hair and sweat on bare hands are natural favour enhancing spices that make the food more authentic favour. No gloves = less plastic waste pollution = more environmental friendly = less cost on gloves. Using bare left hand to handle food after butt washing in toilet that can enhance the food more tasty. Without wearing masks, chefs' saliva is also a favour enhancer to the food.
Dirt from greasy dirty walls, benches, old utensils without covered by lids/food wrap are also offering more favour to the food. Cockroaches would love to taste the food in uncovered utensils which is good for adding extra favour and protein to foods. Yummy!
samosa stuff using hand without gloves, wow from local to airline
Obviously, they are cooking samosas in authentic way without wearing gloves. Anyway, after boiling hot oil frying, no bacteria can survive.
Clean and well made food. 👌
Surprised many of the process is not automated and hygienic? Stuffing the samosa filing without gloves! Woah...Guess they are not going for any ISO ratings..
ISO stands for Indian Standard Organisation? 🤔
2:39 For commercial kitchen hygiene standards, nobody is allowed to eat in the kitchen, except chef testing the taste of food. Showing us how they "meet" the commercial kitchen hygiene standards is. 😱
There are some good changes done in the AirIndia esp in the overseas business class. They are giving good quality nightware and good vanity kit also. Even the quality of food improved.
SAM KNOWS WHAT THE RING OF FIRE IS ALL ABOUT . 😂 🔥
Enjoyed watching some of those somosas being stuff with bare hands...yum.
Finally found that one white racist individual who's ready to comment on Indian food based on his views on some tiktok videos while working at a minimum wage job at the nearest McD.
Well done Sam.. excellent report 🙏
*TATA is going to take the market share from Singapore Airlines, Emirates, Qatar, and Ethiad. When the Indian flyers have an option to have an equally good product to go the US from India, they will not take other airlines and have a layover in Singapore, Dubai, Doha, or Abu Dhabi. All these airlines will lose a huge customer base from India who are traveling to the US and coming back to the India from the US.*
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!
Thanks Sam! People forget that snacks on Air India qualify as a full meal on other flights. The Maharaja of the skies will be back stronger.
It's a shame not everyone in the kitchen has gloves while handling food for other people.
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
suddenly sam's channel became indian😉😁🙏
Clearly this isn’t as hygienic as the SATS kitchen operated by the Taj group that serves to airlines like Singapore and Emirates.
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?
Can we give a shout to that background music. 😅
0:38 Using left hand without wearing gloves. Showing us the Indian hygiene standards.
Shut up and get sick 😂
That's just the one instance. Remaining chefs are wearing elastic gloves while preparing the sandwiches, wraps, arranging the treys etc. Those samosas are going into the deep fryer anyway which will kill the germs in an instant. Don't know what's there to cry about this. However the utensils need to be replaced with newer ones.
I love how the food is arranged in a way to look like the Indian flag.
The hygiene and sanitation is not at all taken care of. How can they cook with bare hands😢
The guy is stuffing green peas in samosa without gloves!!!!
THATS THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE REAL FLAVOURS !
Awesome job sam with the vlog
Air India will flourish under Tata management and Sam is showing it right now 👍🏻
Need to improve product presentation.
Crush of every aviation Lover ❤❤❤
Regarding some of the workers not wearing gloves, would like to mention that a lot of these items are just not convenient to make wearing gloves. Like those naans and rotis in that earthen oven with charcoal inside, or those balls dipped in batter and fried in that cauldron of boiling hot oil. Anyway everything is cooked at such high temperatures and so much spices no bacteria will survive anyway.
5:18 Are they going to put the sandwiches packed into paper boxes by bare left hand into hot oil to kill the bacteria? 🤔
You do not trade convenience with food safety bruh.
@@_LYH_ pretty sure the kitchen would not have survived so long if standards were not met. They also serve International carriers. 😬
Very impressive menu. Iam really impressed Jai Hind
The food handling and hygiene can be better with face masks, spit guards and gloves worn at **all times**
Please wear a Plastic Glove near a Tandoor Oven.
@@Apster Obviously there's exceptions but no one wants someones dirty finger nails in their samosas
@@zephyrsky__ 5:18 Not only Samosas but Sandwiches too. See the person's long, stained, untrimmed nails on his left hand who is packing the sandwiches without wearing gloves. 🤢🤮
@@tilllatelomoit’s India they ain’t worrying about that, it’s a get on with it attitude
@@s125ish Seems foreign passengers flying with them have to accept "their" hygiene standards and get used to their service attitude? Passengers flying with them have to forget QATAR, Emirates, SIA, Starlux, ANA, JAL, CX Airlines standards. 🤔
I don't have an iron made stomach. After watched this video, it gives me some idea of not to fly with particular airlines.
Unlike many other airline kitchen's this kitchen may not be so stylish. But the flavor / taste that comes out in the boxes are unbeatable.
Some really delicious meals. I was slightly disappointed that they cooked most of their meals with bear hands. Of course, this eliminates waste from gloves but gloves do save us from the waste of hands! 😞
The waste of hands is a natural constipation medicine, immunity booster and favour enhancing spice. 😂
@@tilllatelomo Are you only a Japanese baby?
@@SChinmay Handling food by bare left hand is the best way to add extra spices and making the food more tasty.
There are benefits of using bare hands to handle food:
1. Boosting eaters immunity. 2. Eater body detoxification. 3. Less plastic gloves waste pollution 4. Less cost on gloves 5. Sweat from hands are natural salt. 5. Human hairs are good rich of calcium and protein 5. More efficient without wasting of time on changing gloves. 6. Eaters can feel food makers' skills and cells that machines can't offer. 7. Helping eaters to solve constipation problem
