★★☆☆☆ i am a global gold member. yeh, that means I travel a lot around the world. Very rarely, i liked the food in the plane. It is very predictable what I am going to get. so finally after traveling half a million miles, i decided to tell them. Lets see what they will do. Posted on October 26, 2013

★★★☆☆ Domestic United flights do not have Halal items, but usually have a vegetarian option (only in first class). The meals are good as you would expect in a premium cabin. In Economy class you have to purchase food (try fruit/cheese box). Posted on March 2, 2012

★★★★☆ Muslim meal is available on all international flights origination from USA. It is not always available when you are flying back from Europe. However, they always offer a vegiterian option when flying back from Europe. I am not going to rate the meal as no one in the world picks an airline becuase of their food quality. People pick airline becuase of service and Continental has one of the best service. Posted on June 28, 2010

★★★★☆ I have used Continental airlines many times during 2002-2003 for flight b/w Houston and Detroit. In the Muslim meal they used to offer some pita bread with Hummus and baby carrots. I had to fly every week and this was during Ramadan so it was at least not bad as Iftar. Continental airlines in one of the best US airlines for service. Posted on January 14, 2007

★★★★☆ moml option is prob not fully zabiha, they could not provide me sources, however on a positive not the hot sea food meal is quite tasty. Posted on December 7, 2006

★★☆☆☆ Flight from London to Washington had halal food which also included a sweet dipped in sugar syrup and pickle which nearly tasted home made. Unfortunately, on the way back from Washington to London, although booked, halal food was not provided - not much one can do at that stage!! Posted on September 1, 2006

★★★☆☆ I ordered Halal meal. In the flight from Chicago to London the meal was just a boring Vegi thing. In the flight back from London to Washington, they gave some vegetable Pakistani style thing with a Pakistani Sweet BURFI and some Shahi Supari which they got from London. American airlines are not good in meal service or probabliy the defination of good food to Yankees is different :( Posted on August 14, 2006

★★★★★ Just flew Continental from Houston to London. Excellent Moslem meal. They had hot chicken curry, vegetable, rice pulao, salad and all the rest. I was surprised at how spicy the meal was. It was just right! They only have moslem meal on international flights. On long domestic flights (over 2hrs) they give a turkey sandwich (not halal). Posted on March 25, 2006

★★☆☆☆ London Washington business class return: Indian-style veggie meal, whilst halal and tasting OKish, was not exactly inspiring and honestly looked like a plate of puke. Service OK though. Posted on February 23, 2006

★☆☆☆☆ we took united from washington to germany and i ate a lasagna which had only sauce and cheese. Suffice it to say that i ended up throwing up three times on the flight. If i were you, DONT eat the food, drink the juice and eat the peanuts. Posted on February 11, 2006

★★★★☆ Nice airline, food is decent when available, the Muslim meal was well cooked. Hope they pull out of their financial problems. Posted on December 19, 2005

★★★★★ My husband and I asked for a MOML this past April. We thought it was going to be horrible so we didn't want to think about it. When we opened up the package, well, the look on my husband's face was priceless. We were shocked we were given Indian/Pakistani style chicken and rice! It was hearty and spicy and great! We would definitely order it again. Posted on December 17, 2005

NR When ever I travel, I always take a sandwich with a snack that I can eat, even if I had requested halal food. Sometimes there are delays and the airport does not have much choices either. Posted on August 24, 2005

★☆☆☆☆ Really bad Moselm Meal. Avoid United Airlines food. Posted on August 8, 2005

★★★★★ I've been flying United between SFO and Paris (the only airline I've decided to stick with). I always request halal meal, in the economy class. The food have been good, and varied. I decided to stick with United just because of my horrible service that I received with other airlines, mainly Air France && British Airways, and Lufthansa. So go with United and emphasize on your strict halal diet. Posted on March 23, 2005

★★☆☆☆ with moml, sometimes they dont have enough to serve like it happens with us.there were 3 of us & they had only 1 so i gave it to my dad, we kids end up having crackers & juice only from ny to dallas. Posted on March 9, 2005

★★★★★ My wife and I recently flew round trip from New York to Paris. We were mentally prepared for the food we would be served because we pre-booked 2 Muslim meals on continental.com. Remarkably, our meals were not steamed vegetables and bad salmon. We actually got meat!! It's halal authenticity was confirmed by a sticker on the meal packaging with halal written in Arabic. Newest American fleet of jets plus halal??!! I'm a continental guy forever!! Posted on October 9, 2004

★★☆☆☆ I am frequesnt flyer with continental both Europe and within US. Don't trust MOML. Always check your sandwich, which confuse you with fish or turkey. Also check cakes and pastries, which contain gelatin. Posted on August 31, 2004

★☆☆☆☆ I ve been flying with this flight several time few weeks back from Asian country to US and return. From South Asian Country, i was served with white rice..delicious for long hours flight...then the real drama came in when i fly from Japan to US and back to my home country...first of all...its indian food, i could say (i think). i was serve with the same "moslem" meal for the whole trip...i repeat...the same meal...halva, vege, rice with dhall, and naan bread. if you having the same meal for long hours flight, you may get bored...please take muslim flight for long journey flight...you may pay extra but you'll satisfied...

★★★★★ On several flights, I found the Muslim meal was top notch for airplane food. Chicken was moist, and all food was warm where appropriate. True, you get the same thing over and over, which is no different from my home cooking habits. So in that sense, it felt like home! Posted on August 10, 2004

★★★☆☆ anyone travel lately with this flight...i'll flying with this flight soon..so plese advice in case.. Posted on July 12, 2004

★★★☆☆ on trip to UK, the "muslim meal" i had was a boiled chicken breast, on which i had to add salt and salad dressing to render some sort of flavor" to my dismay, the actual regular flight meal on that particular trip was smoked salmon, which looked and smelled delicious! i didnt feel so bad when the rabii's jewish meal next to me was pretty shabby as well!

★★☆☆☆ I fly Continental quite a bit and the MOML is unrelianle. Best bet is to ask for seafood or non meat pasta. Posted on December 25, 2003

★☆☆☆☆ Made a reuqest for Moslem meal but when we where in flight they said they had none for us. We had confirmed it twice before flying. Would not recomend the food or airlines Posted on December 21, 2003

★☆☆☆☆ I recently flew United on a overseas flight. My "Muslim" meal was white rice (Atleast couple of days old), defrosted and still cold and crunchy. It was plain white rice with some cubed pieces of cold carrots. I would think jail food is probably better. The so called halva was smoked to oblivion so much, that the "halva" was melted to the plastic it came in . Believe it or not that was my meal. Therefore, I asked them to feed me some vegetarian dishes of the standard menu, they refused. So I ended up eating four boxes of cookies and choclates that I bought off a store before departing. And my flight was 15 hrs long, direct.. I would recommend to fly a muslim flght overseas. Otherwise, most airlines don't care about muslim meals. Because, unfortunately many muslims don't care about halal yet. So they inturn due to low demand, server as cold white rice with cold baby carrots. Yummy!!!! Posted on December 10, 2003

★★★★☆ Standard Indian vegetarian fare, labeled as "Moslem" meal. Always better (it looks like it, anyway) than the standard meals available. Not too spicy. Posted on December 9, 2003

★★★☆☆ Recently flew Continental cross country. One flight was evening and the returning one was morning, so I sampled both dinner and breakfast fares. Dinner was okay-- it was just the veggie meal relabeled as "MOML" (Muslim meal). One thing you have to be careful about is the condiments- they often include salad dressing or mustard with wine vinegar or white wine. The breakfast fare was pretty substandard. I started eating the omelette only to discover that it was still frozen in the middle. They seemed in a hurry with the special meals so they turned out not so good, while the standard meals that came later to the rest of the cabin were piping hot. Posted on December 9, 2003

★★★☆☆ Fairly decent food, although sometimes they get lazy... on long flights, I've received the same meal twice. Breakfasts are sometimes not to par. But you can count on getting your food before anyone else, leaving people salivating all around you. And the halvah is scrumptious! I took a few of those home with me! Posted on December 9, 2003
