The Hundred-Foot Journey

In the heart of the picturesque French countryside, “The Hundred-Foot Journey” follows the remarkable journey of the Kadam family, who flee their native India to find a fresh start in the charming village of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val. Led by the ambitious patriarch, Papa Kadam, they open an Indian restaurant, “Maison Mumbai,” right across the street from a Michelin-starred French establishment, “Le Saule Pleureur,” run by the fiercely passionate chef, Madame Mallory.

As the aroma of curry and spices wafts through the village, a culinary war ensues, setting the stage for a delightful clash of cultures. Papa Kadam’s zest for flavors and familial love ignites the heart of “Maison Mumbai,” while Madame Mallory’s precision and French culinary heritage define her restaurant. The rivalry escalates, with both sides entrenched in their beliefs about food, pride, and identity.

Young Hassan Kadam, a prodigious chef with a remarkable talent for blending spices, becomes the bridge between both worlds.
