Turns out Pakistanis aren’t just saving lives here in Pakistan, but are doing so all around the world. In recent news, it’s being done in France! During the Olympics 2024, a Pakistani restaurant rescued Indian shooters from starving hunger.
Good food equals a good mood, and the Indian shooters in Chateauroux, France, discovered just that at a Pakistani restaurant. Staying in the Games Village, they found the Indian food bland and the vegetarian options scarce. When they realized the same serving container was used for chicken and beef portions, they knew they needed an alternative.
Indians Find Solice At Pakistani Restaurant
When the Indian team was left with no hope, entered the Taj Mahal. Taj Mahal is a Pakistani restaurant run by Atif Noman. The shooters, including Prithviraj Tondaiman, Shreyasi Singh, and Rajeshwari Kumari, made this their go-to spot.
“I only eat vegetarian food on Saturdays, and they don’t serve that in the Village. Everything is so bland, so we found this restaurant, and it serves good food,” Prithviraj told The Tribune. That does not seem like the European dream. The truth is, we desis need a taste of our food. We can honestly only last a couple of days without it. So when in the land of bland food choices, it only made sense that the Indian team resorted to a local Pakistani restaurant, after all, we do it best.

Rifle coach Suma Shirur agreed. That is the universal appeal of finding familiar food abroad. The restaurant became a favorite not only for the athletes but also for the support staff who couldn’t stay in the Village. Shreyasi Singh’s coach, Anant Singh, frequented the small but beloved place.
It seems like they found their home away from home, and away from borders, the difference did not matter. In France, there were no Indians and Pakistanis, but just some people who appreciated good, spicy food.
