Plot

An Indian family, the Kadams, relocates to a quaint village in the south of France after a fire destroys their Mumbai restaurant. Led by patriarch Papa, they open a new eatery, Maison Mumbai, directly across the street from the upscale, Michelin-starred French restaurant Le Saule Pleureur, run by the stern Madame Mallory. The juxtaposition of these two vastly different culinary worlds sparks an all-out rivalry between the two establishments, with Papa determined to introduce the village to the rich spices and flavors of Indian cuisine. Tensions rise as both restaurants engage in a battle for culinary supremacy, leading to a series of confrontations and culinary showdowns.

As the story progresses, Hassan, Papa's son and a gifted cook, captures Madame Mallory's attention with his natural talent and flair for fusion cuisine. Despite her initial resistance due to cultural prejudices and competitive spirit, Madame Mallory eventually recognizes Hassan's potential and offers him an opportunity that could bridge the gap between their contrasting culinary traditions. This marks a pivotal turn in Hassan's journey toward achieving his culinary dreams and exploring new horizons. The film then delves into how these events transform the lives of both the Kadam family and Madame Mallory, culminating in unexpected personal growth and understanding.
