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.

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!
With a keen interest in cooking Indian cuisine my ‘Karahi’ has become slightly redundant since meeting Imtiaz in the early days of FNT and becoming a regular customer. Each week he conjures up authentic Indian flavours some familiar dishes but also some surprises. All delicious and cooked with real care. If you love Indian food then Imtiaz is the real thing.
This was our first order. We thoroughly enjoyed our food, which was full of flavour and,given we'd ordered the "lite" version of the menu, was chilli-free, so just to our taste. We will definitely order again on our return in September.
This chicken dish was up there with the best (which was your Christmas 2024 menu). Thank you for enabling me to buy one portion plus all the extras.
The Khadhia chicken was something I’ve never tried before but I’ll certainly be there next time it’s available.
I loved the samosas but the highlight for me was the chicken wings. I’ve always considered them too messy and not worth the hassle but yours………..give me a bowl of them and I’ll be in heaven. They were spicy, succulent and so moreish.
My only suggestion and it’s only because I manage to make 2 meals out of one, would be that there could have been either a little more sauce or it was perhaps more liquid.
Would I recommend you - I already do, to all of my friends. It’s a 90 minute round trip for me, but well worth my weekend treat.
