There’s good and bad news about this caterer. The bad news is this is what we were served on our recent cruise to Alaska. The good news is my husband and I lost 5 pounds each on our recent cruise to Alaska! Horrible food, what a letdown. We couldn’t have hot soup because the lid broke into shards of plastic if it got too hot. Even our Maitre’d was looking for ways to make our meals better, but she knew she couldn’t open the tiny little packages. She was totally embarrassed and really felt bad. Norwegian Cruise Line has just got to find a better catering service. Here’s the kicker; 10:40 pm we left Seattle and were hungry. Same catering company on our plane!! My husband was served a horrible chicken dish we had the previous 7 days, I was given a lunch meal of mushroom blintzes! I drank the sealed cup of water that came on the tray!! I’m only giving 1 star because I’m not offered zero!

Amazing place to work in, constantly researching and finding ways to improve. Friendly coworkers and bosses. The management takes well care of their employees.

This food is disgusting. The only options they offer that are edible are the cheesecake & challah, which was ok. The meals are nearly impossible to eat. There are so many kosher catering companies, please do not use this one. It’s disgusting and I have fasted for a few days as this was my only option for kosher food. This food can be the reason why people’s days are ruined. Also, why there is food coloring in the matzo ball soup? Just all around terrible quality meals and terrible tasting.

I went on a trip from Atlanta, GA to South Korea last year (2023). I was concerned about my kosher options.B”H the food was so good I had to leave Delta a compliment on the food. In the return flight I got a very fancy kosher box from a different company with food I just couldn’t enjoy. Thank you so much for providing such a wonderful Kosher meal for my trip.

I hope someone who actually works at this company reads this. The food is vile to say the least. Absolutely disgusting. They should be ashamed of themselves. I wish there was negative stars this company should get it.

I recently flew United on a trip from Chicago to Tel Aviv and was served Regal kosher meals (according to the label, Regal is affiliated with Borenstein Caterers of Jamaica, NY). Although my flight was in September, I was served some kosher-for-Passover pre-packaged food. There were only two components of all the food service that were worth eating: the dinner side of lightly steamed green beans and the breakfast fresh fruit cup were very good. The salad with the dinner was overpopulated with green olives and had a dab of something red and an unidentifiable vegetable. I could not tell if the mushroom blintz, which was predominately potato, contained meat. The eggs looked very professional but barely tasted like eggs. How hard is it to ruin a simple egg dish?I took one bite of the eggs and asked a flight attendant for boiling water for the oatmeal packet I'd brought along in case of not getting a kosher meal.

In this day and age, you should expect good kosher food on an airplane, cruise, etc. This is absolutely shameful for Borenstein to provide gross, inedible food. Shame on you for such a chillul Hashem!

Food on Norwegian was not edible. Absolutely unacceptable.

Food is inedible. Shame on you for showcasing this "food" ( if you can even call it that ) as kosher food to the world.

Last time I order kosher food. Was served a breakfast of a cold scoop of oatmeal (?). It was green and the vilest thing I ever saw purporting to be food. Lunch was only slightly better. Even the roll was gross. The packages are next to impossible to open, especially on a plane.
Best place to work, very polite bosses and freindly coworkers

I just got off a cruise with royal carribean. They should be ashamed of the horrible quality of the food. 95% was inedible. Hot dogs were green. Way to make kosher food an embarrassment. I also tried to reach them for two weeks to discuss ingredients and nobody answered or responded to my messages. I'm just so upset by how unprofessional this company is. No idea how they have a contract with a large cruise ship.

Traveled on American Airlines first class and the served Borensteins Catered meals. Meals were very mediocre at best. Only the roll was edible.
