Friday Night Takeaway

We are a husband-and-wife team, Imtiaz Hasan and Corinne Terrasson, leaving a hectic and fast-paced life in London to move with our 2-year-old daughter Mia in 2020, to this quiet part of France. The purchase and renovation of a farm house has given us the opportunity to work with food, Ayurveda and holistic practices and to provide ourselves and those who try our food an experience of home cooking which is far different to the restaurant Indian food here or in other parts of France

Trained in Hotel Management and Catering Technology in the first part of our careers, working with the Taj and Oberoi Group in India and then in London with The Taj Group at their iconic Indian restaurant Bombay Brasserie. Travelling working and living in India and cooking with home cooks, we are passionate about food from the South West coast of India.

Main Course & Side Dishes

Meat Main

An authentic Goan pork vindaloo is a fiery, tangy, and deeply aromatic curry that reflects Goa’s blend of Indian and Portuguese culinary traditions. Making it distinct and authentic with the pork which is marinated overnight in a mixture of vinegar, garlic, ginger, and a freshly ground spice mix of dried red chilies, cumin, cloves, cinnamon, black pepper, turmeric, mustard seeds, and a hint of cardamom—all ground into a paste with vinegar. The marinated pork is slow-cooked until tender. The dish develops a rich, deep red colour from the chilies and paprika-like spices, without the need for tomatoes or cream (common in restaurant “British curry house” versions but not in Goa). Tangy from vinegar, fiery from chillies, aromatic from the warm spices, slightly smoky and earthy from the charred slow cooked pork. 
14 € per person with jeera rice

Vegetarian Main

for the vegetarians we use in season haricot vert, red peppers and baby potatoes

14 € per person with jeera rice

Side Dish

we serve our pork and vegetarian vindaloo with jeera rice – Whole cumin seeds release their nutty, earthy aroma, bay leaves, cloves, or cinnamon added for extra fragrance; the star of the show is long grain basmati rice.

INCLUDED IN THE PRICE OF 14 € per person

Side Dish

Goan-style dal (Dali Toyi / Goan Dal) — a comfort food in many Goan homes
3.50 € per person
Goans do cook lentils, but in a way that reflects their own regional influences. While dal (lentils) is a staple all over India, Goan cooking has a unique touch because of its Konkani roots, coastal setting, and Portuguese influence. A simple, homestyle dal made with toor dal (pigeon peas) flavoured with turmeric and tempered with mustard seeds, curry leaves, green chili, and coconut oil.
3.50 € per person

"Superb meal-I can’t believe the range of subtle flavours . The potato  Korma style/sauce  was my favourite-really tasty. The meal was very well balanced , with portion sizes just right.  A very talented chef, delicious food. Not normally a fan of biryani you have changed my view on it, Imtiaz!  Extras complemented well and the whole was very good value for money.
