About this product
Product Information
A man gains a new lease on life when circumstances force him to take over the family business in this comedy drama from director David Kaplan. Samir (Aasif Mandvi) is a traditionally trained chef who works as the sous chef in an exclusive restaurant in Manhattan, but when he learns he's been turned down for an expected promotion, he leaves in a huff and isn't asked to return. Samir is convinced he's cut out for better things and considers heading for Europe to attend a culinary academy in Paris. But Samir's plans quickly change when he learns that his father (Harish Patel) has suffered a severe heart attack and someone needs to look after the family business, a dingy Indian restaurant in Queens that's fallen on hard times. While Samir has spent years learning to prepare gourmet cuisine, he's never had much experience making Indian food, and his mother (Madhur Jaffrey) is singularly unimpressed with his efforts. Samir has to hire a new cook to assist him, and he ends up with Akbar (Naseeruddin Shah), a cabbie who claims to have cooked for many of India's leading dignitaries, and with Akbar's help Samir learns about the soul of Indian cuisine, as well as a few things about himself. Samir also tries to make time for a budding romance with Carrie (Jess Weixler), who worked with him at his old job. TODAY'S SPECIAL was an official selection at the 2009 BFI London Film Festival.

- n***m (151)- Feedback left by buyer.More than a year agoVerified purchasePerry Mason DVD set (Seasons 7 to 9) delivered in the actual VG cond. as described in the eBay listing. Exc. comm. in that Seller contacted me to let me know that the eBay listing of "Brand New" cond. was system generated. Seller said I had the option to cancel if I wanted to, but I BOT it anyway since it was offered at a great price, and it was to replace the PM episodes I had recorded on VHS. Fast delivery in a padded package. I would buy again from this Seller!! 5 star eBay Seller!!Perry Mason: Seasons 7-9 (DVD) Brand New ! (#204857914965)
