| | ★★★★★ The meals are very fresh and always hot. Meals are not spicy so South Asians do not always like it. Quantity is more than most carriers I have travelled and quality is really excellent. Salads, desert and kebab meals are really good. |

The wide range of nutrition trends of children of different age groups based on ethnic, religious or medical grounds are generalized to become part of the entire flight experience.
Children have the need for a variety of foods and healthy nutrition. Salt and sugar have been added to the meals in their natural form which helps to develop the childrens' taste.

| | ★★★ During various trips b/w Prague & Karachi, the food is not very good - just OK. No idea about Halal but when I asked the crew they confirmed me that all food is Halal. |
| | | Baltimore, MD |
| |
| | ★★★ flight from JFK to Istanbul: flight attendant told me food is "halal" in the sense that it contains no pork. It is not zabihah, except when the flight originates from Turkey (or other Muslim countries, I presume). |
| | | Turkey |
| |
| | ★★★★★ After they changed their supplier(Gategourmet to DO&CO) for foods the quality is really good know. When they fly from Turkey the food is halal but i don't know it is still halal when they are flying from another contry to Turkey.This question is valid for all other airlines too. |
| | | Tarrytown, NY |
| |
| | ★★★ The food was basically edible, nothing great (its airline food after all) but bring some snacks along-some horrors are the eggs (i swear i thought it was a plastic product at first) and all bread items (also taste plasticy.) Thus, bring some of your own carbs. |
| |  | United States |
| |
| | ★★★★★ All food served by Turkish Airways is Halal,but they also service vine and some other drinks containing alcohol |
| | | United States |
| |
| | ★★★★ On flight from JFK to Karachi via Ist. Food is 'nice', though not sure if it is all Halal. Desserts are especially good. Also, make sure to get lunch coupon if you have a long stop-over in Istanbul. |
