A recent Vistara flight gained traction on social media after a passenger, named Kripal, took to X to express dissatisfaction with the quality and presentation of the in-flight meal service. Kripal's scathing review and photos of the meal sparked a debate online, with mixed reactions from other users.

Take A Look At The Post Here: 

In a post on the social media platform X, Kripal shared a photo of the meal served aboard flight UK820, stating, "Wow! Air Vistara, your main meal... evoked a sense of nostalgia! That of near-inedible meals served in a badly run hostel mess by indifferent cooks! Insipid flavors, the sort of texture that would indicate the chicken should have ideally been consumed hours ago, and the chocolate dessert, benchmarked perhaps to a kindergarten cookery project. Amazing!"

Vistara Responds To The Viral Post: 

Vistara responded to Kripal's post, expressing disappointment with the passenger's experience and requesting flight details for further investigation and resolution.

"Hi Kripal, all our meals are prepared keeping the highest standards of quality in mind, and we are disheartened to note your disappointment," Vistara said. 

Here's How Netizens Reacted To The Post:

The social media post triggered a flurry of comments, with several users resonating with Kripal's critique. One user shared their own encounter with "spinach rice with baby corn sprinkled on it," questioning its qualification as a dish.

Another passenger recounted an unpleasant experience with "raw masala" in their chicken curry rice, leading to heartburn.

"I would definitely complain about stale, spoiled food," one user wrote. But what about the bad taste, plating, and texture? We can live with it once in a while.

While some users agreed with the criticism, others believed that issues with taste, plating, and texture could be tolerated occasionally. One individual pointed out the ambiguity of Kripal's complaint, suggesting it might have left customer service perplexed about whether it was praise or criticism.
