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.

Kapoor said: "Wake Up @airindiain. Nagpur-Mumbai 0740 flight. Cold Chicken Tikka with watermelon, cucumber, tomato & sevSandwich with minuscule filling of chopped cabbage with mayo Sugar syrup Sponge painted with sweetened cream & yellow glaze."

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."

After Kapoor posted his complaint on Twitter, several other travellers vented their anger in the comment section.
