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 08.05.2026

The air in a side street with an Old Delhi- bhatti is a thick, sensory symphony of charcoal smoke and toasted spices that defines the country’s rugged culinary soul. These traditional clay or brick ovens serve as the glowing heart of the sidewalk, where vendors skillfully slap hand-stretched dough against the scorching inner walls to produce blistered, smoky tandoori rotis. Beside them, skewers of Bhatti da Murgh—chicken marinated in a dark, robust blend of garam masala and yogurt—are nestled directly over the embers, gaining a signature charred exterior that far surpasses the refined versions found in high-end restaurants. Crowding the same stall, large iron cauldrons simmer with Punjabi chole, the dark, tea-infused chickpeas glistening with a layer of spicy oil and topped with fresh ginger juliennes. For the bustling crowd, these bhattis are more than just cooking stations; they are communal landmarks where the heat of the fire and the tang of the street food offer a fleeting, flavourful respite from the chaos of the city.

Punjabi Pulao Aged Basmati rice tempered with the earthy warmth of black cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon. Unlike white pilau, this traditional Punjabi version is defined by its deep golden hue—achieved by caramelising onions and a nutty finish from a touch of pure ghee.

Side Dish

Punjabi Chole 4 € per person

A classic North Indian preparation of chickpeas simmered in an aromatic gravy of roasted cumin, dry mango powder (amchur), and pomegranate seeds. This dish offers a distinct tanginess and deep colour, best enjoyed for its hearty, spiced profile.
