Friday Night Takeaway

Cooking from the South West Coast of India

Cooking recipes from homes in the south west coast of India in Southwest France, 33220 Saint-Avit-Saint-Nazaire. Traditional recipes; silky, hot, coconut curries from Kerala, Vindaloos from Goa, fish from the Konkan coast, eclectic cooking from the melting pot of Bombay (aka Mumbai), and classical vegetarian Gujarati cuisine.

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.

Menu 13.02.2026

Some of you have been with us from the very beginning, ordering food that reminds you of home kitchens in India rather than restaurant menus. Others discovered us because our food tastes different from the Indian food usually found here in France — simpler, more honest, and closer to what families actually cook and eat.

Over the past few months, I have questioned my choice of menus, and it made me pause and think. So for next Friday, I wanted to do something a little different to what we have always done— to bring back dishes that many people already know and love, while still cooking them the way they are meant to be cooked at home.

So next week’s theme is:

The All-Time Favourites

Classic dishes, cooked slowly, with care, and with proper spices — no shortcuts.

Main Course & Side Dishes

Meat Main

Chicken Rogan Josh & Jeera Rice – 13 € per person

Rogan Josh comes from Kashmir, in the north of India, and traditionally it’s all about depth rather than heat. In home cooking, the sauce is built patiently with onions, ginger, garlic and warming spices.

I use Kashmiri chilli for colour rather than fire, cloves and cardamom for warmth, cinnamon for softness, and a touch of coriander and cumin to round everything out. The chicken is gently simmered so the spices melt into the sauce instead of shouting over it.

It’s rich, aromatic and comforting — exactly why it’s an all-time favourite.

The jeera rice is simple and fragrant, cooked with whole cumin seeds gently bloomed in oil, the way it’s done in Indian homes every day.

WE CAN COOK THE CHICKEN OFF THE BONE OR

USING CHICKEN BREAST supplement 1.50 €

Vegetarian Main

Aubergine and Mixed Peppers Rogan Josh & Jeera Rice – 13 € per person

The aubergines and peppers are chargrilled to hold their shape and then simmered in the Rogan Josh sauce to take on the gentle heat and spice

Side Dish

Saag Aloo – 3.50 € per person

A true everyday dish from northern India: potatoes cooked with leafy greens and spices. I use spinach, cumin seeds, garlic, turmeric, and a hint of garam masala at the end. It’s earthy, nourishing, and the kind of food people grow up eating.

Side Dish

Tadka Dal – 3.50 € per person

Dal is comfort food across India. This one is cooked slowly until creamy, then finished with a tadka — hot oil poured over the lentils with mustard seeds, cumin, dried red chillies, garlic, and a pinch of asafoetida. It’s simple, deeply satisfying, and full of flavour.

Side Dish

Fried papad – 3 € (bag of two)
Light, crisp and perfect for scooping or crunching between bites.

Tandoori roti – 5 € for 2
Soft, slightly smoky flatbreads, ideal for soaking up sauce.

***Our dishes contain nuts and grains and even if not mentioned in our menu, there maybe traces in our cooking, so make us aware of allergies***

Our food is cooked to recipes as used in homes in India. If you would like less chilli please ask for the LITE version of the dish

"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.
