The Indian Railway Menu

Two Worlds of the Indian Railways In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Indian Railways operated as two distinct culinary universes running on the very same tracks. Inside the first-class dining cars and executive station refreshment rooms, white-jacketed stewards served formal Anglo-Indian menus on starched linen. Here, chefs engineered rich, gently spiced curries tempered with coconut, tamarind, and vinegar—built to hold their flavour across long cross-country journeys without overwhelming the British palates. Just outside on the station platforms, a completely different sensory world came alive every time the train hissed to a halt. Through the carriage windows, local vendors passed steaming leaf-cups of spiced chickpeas, crisp fried papads, and hot flatbreads straight off clay ovens, filling the air with toasted cumin, black salt, and fresh coriander. This week’s menu brings both sides of the tracks to your table—combining the slow-braised heritage of the dining car with the vibrant, comforting staples of the railway platform.

Old-Style Railway Hogget & Potato Curry served with aromatic Jeera and Cardamom Pulao

€17.00

Rich, deeply flavoured mature hogget, slow-braised with quartered potatoes, mustard seed, tamarind, and black pepper. Cooked in the classic Indian Raj style—rich, fragrant, slightly tangy, and built for robust flavor. 💡 A quick note from the kitchen on Hogget: If you haven't cooked with hogget before, it is prime mature lamb aged between 9 and 12 months. It yields far more natural depth and rich flavor than spring lamb, but when braised low and slow, it becomes melt-in-the-mouth tender. It’s the authentic choice for traditional railway curries!

Contains nuts

Country Captain Chicken Curry served with aromatic Jeera and Cardamom Pulao

€14.50

Tender chicken breast braised in the classic colonial mess and dining-car tradition with caramelised onions, turmeric, ginger, whole warming spices, and a subtle touch of vinegar, finished with sweet golden raisins and toasted flaked almonds.

Contains nuts

Railway Refreshment Room Vegetable & Paneer Jalfrezi served with aromatic Jeera and Cardamom Pulao

€14.50

A vibrant, semi-dry stir-fry born in the station refreshment rooms—featuring seared Indian paneer cheese, mixed peppers, red onions, and green beans tossed in a tangy tomato, cumin, and cracked black pepper masala.

Our story

From London to a farmhouse in south west France

We're Imtiaz Hasan and Corinne Terrasson. In 2020 we left a hectic life in London with our daughter Mia to renovate a farmhouse in this quiet corner of France — and to cook the food we love.

Years of travelling, working and cooking alongside home cooks in India taught us that real Indian food is far from what most restaurants serve. Friday Night Takeaway is our way of sharing it.

“We have had many FNT meals and each one just tastes better and better. The Royal Lamb Biryani that my wife and I have just eaten was absolutely superb. Everything cooked to perfection and the blend of spices was delicious. I thoroughly recommend FNT as probably the best in Indian cuisine that I've ever had. Thank you once again Imtiaz for your time and patience.”

“My word, you surpassed yourself this week Imtiaz. We always love your food, but the chick pea salad this week was sublime. We ordered the chicken main and rice for last night's meal, and the vege option main with rice for tonight. The salad, raita and bread complemented both meals. What incredible value for money!”

“Tonight we ate the Coorgi Pork - a new dish to us. What a treat. The sauce was spicy, sour and full flavoured, the meat soft and not at all dry, which can often happen with pork curries. My dear Aunty ate with us and was in heaven as she at this incredible meal, pronouncing every aspect of it to be perfectly balanced. We ate this curry during one of our many recent heatwaves here in SW France and it was tasty, filling and pronounced the best meal of the week by Aunty Jill!! We love Friday Night Takeaway - if only every cook, chef and business owner took the same pride and interest in their customers as Imtiaz and Corrine do!”
