How is the food on Turkish Airlines?

TK has by far the best food on board. Economy class seats with 1st class menu. I always recommend TK and their food is the 1st thing that comes to my mind of what they are best at. Among all other stuff that makes traveling with them true pleasure!!!



Turkish Airlines is widely regarded as having some of the best in-flight catering in the world, frequently winning Skytrax awards for its "Flying Chefs" program. In Business Class, chefs actually prepare and plate meals in the galley, offering high-quality Turkish mezze, grilled meats, and traditional desserts like baklava. Even in Economy Class, the food is notable for its freshness and flavor, often featuring menus that include hummus, cheese pies for breakfast, and salads with virgin olive oil. While some 2026 reviews have noted slight inconsistencies on shorter regional flights, the airline continues to provide printed menus and hot meals on nearly all international routes, avoiding the "generic tray" feel of many competitors by focusing on authentic Anatolian and Mediterranean flavors.
