Displaced from their native India, he settles in the village of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val located in the South of France. To him it is elegant and ideal place to settle down and open an Indian restaurant called The Maison Mumbai.
That is, until the chilly chef proprietress of Le Saule Pleureur, a classical French restaurant run by Madame Mallory gets wind of it. Her protests against the new Indian restaurant a hundred feet from her own, escalate to all out war between the two establishments.
