Displaced from their native India, the Kadam family, led by Papa (OM PURI), settles in the quaint village of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val in the south of France. Filled with charm, it is both picturesque and elegant – the ideal place to settle down and open an Indian restaurant, the Maison Mumbai. That is, until the chilly chef proprietress of Le Saule Pleureur, a Michelin-starred, classical French restaurant run by Madame Mallory (Academy Award®-winner HELEN MIRREN) gets wind of it.
Her icy protests against the new Indian restaurant, a hundred feet from her own, escalate to an all-out war between the two establishments – until Hassan Kadam’s (MANISH DAYAL) passion for French haute cuisine and for Madame Mallory’s enchanting sous chef, Marguerite (CHARLOTTE LE BON), combine with his mysteriously delicious talent to weave magic between their two cultures and imbue Saint-Antonin with the flavors of life that even Madame Mallory cannot ignore.
