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 05.06.2026
The true soul of South Indian cuisine is found not in restaurants but in family kitchens, where generations of home cooks have perfected recipes through instinct, experience and tradition. Aromatic curry leaves crackle in hot oil, freshly ground spices are roasted with care, and tamarind, coconut and lentils are balanced with remarkable precision. From the coastal flavours of Kerala to the spice-rich dishes of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, South Indian home chefs create food that is deeply comforting yet extraordinarily complex, transforming simple ingredients into dishes of exceptional depth, character and warmth. Every meal reflects a rich culinary heritage where hospitality, patience and craftsmanship are as important as the ingredients themselves.
Inspired by the remarkable home cooks of South India, where recipes are passed down through generations and every spice has a purpose. Fragrant curry leaves, roasted spices, coconut and tamarind combine to create dishes that are vibrant, deeply comforting and full of character—a celebration of one of the world’s great regional cuisines.
