Fast & Flavour: the momos of Nepal and the curries of India, in Odéon

In Odéon, Fast & Flavour brings together the cooking of Nepal and India around one signature dish, the momo. Dineora designed a website that keeps the bright elegance of the dining room, marble and gilded mirrors, then opens a menu in the colors of the Himalayas, where you choose your dishes to take away and from where you book your table.

Nepal and India, in the sixth arrondissement

Fast & Flavour is a Nepalese and Indian restaurant in Odéon, in the sixth arrondissement of Paris. Its logo, a golden service bell above the name and the words “Restaurant népalais”, sets the tone. The heart of the menu is the momos, those dumplings of the Himalayas: vegetarian, filled with cabbage, cilantro, zucchini, carrots, garlic and ginger, or with chicken, onions and chives, served steamed with a spicy tomato sauce. A whole section pairs them with Indian sauces, like the Butter Bliss, coated in tomato, cream and butter.

India fills the other half of the menu: palak paneer simmered with spinach, paneer tikka masala, kidney bean curry, chickpea curry, chickpeas with spinach and basmati rice, then chicken tikka masala and butter chicken. The hot drinks include a masala tea brewed with milk and the spices of Nepal, and the homemade lassis come in rose, mango, banana, salted, plain or sweet.

The challenge: making the momo known

Butter chicken and tikka masala are familiar names; the momo often is not. The website therefore had to introduce this Nepalese dumpling, its filling, its ways of being served, in a spicy soup, steamed or stir-fried in a wok, and make it clear at a glance that the restaurant brings together two neighboring cuisines without confusing them.

It also had to stay faithful to the place: a bright storefront under a stone building, a dining room of marble and gilded mirrors. The website had to keep this elegance while letting in the colors of the Himalayas, and make the menu easy to browse, with its vegetarian and vegan options clearly sorted.

Parisian marble and the colors of the Himalayas

The home page takes on the light of the dining room: cream and ivory, veined marble, the brass of the mirrors, and the deep brown of the large titles. The visuals stage the dishes in this setting: momos bathing in an orange soup brightened with sesame and cilantro, set on a marble table in front of the storefront, wok-fried momos flying up with peppers, onions and cilantro, a chickpea and spinach curry presented in a block of glass.

The titles are set in a large serif typeface, sober and contrasted, accompanied by small, spaced golden capitals. The Réservation and Commander buttons are painted: a golden bowl filled with momos, topped with small colorful prayer flags, in a chiseled red and gold frame.

A home page that moves like a film

On a computer, the home page is a film that moves forward as you scroll. It starts on the sidewalk, in front of the storefront and its white awning, then the logo and the title appear in a shower of small golden cubes: “Entrez, le voyage est à table.” A sentence introduces the place, the flavors of Nepal and India in the heart of Paris, and another invites you to discover the momos in a spicy soup.

The film then enters the dining room. “Installez-vous, nous avons de quoi ravir” mentions the steamed momos, the butter chicken and the chickpea curry. The wok-fried momos burst out of the plate under “On fait sauter les saveurs”, before a panel devoted to the vegetarian dumplings, “Nos momos aux légumes”, which details their filling.

An online menu under the prayer flags

The ordering page enters another world: on a dark background painted with red, ochre and turquoise scrolls, prayer flags float at the top of the screen, surrounded by mandalas, red chili peppers, copper bells and steaming bamboo baskets filled with momos. The menu is read on cream cards, in wooden frames painted with lotuses in the same colors.

A bar at the top of the screen leads to the sections: traditional vegetarian or vegan momos, non-vegetarian momos, vegetarian Indian dishes, Indian chicken dishes, Indian-style fusion momos, drinks, hot drinks and lassis. Each dish has its thumbnail, its name, its price and its description, and is added to the cart with a tap on a small copper counter bell. The order is then sent to the restaurant, to be picked up on site.

A booking against a marble backdrop

The Réservation button opens a window that picks up the look of the home page: a light marble panel in a golden frame with cut corners, and a title “Réservations” in golden capitals, above the name of the restaurant. The form fits on a single screen.

It asks for the full name, phone, e-mail, date, time, number of guests and a special request, in ivory fields with golden edges, then is submitted with a painted button, the same bowl of momos under its prayer flags.

On a phone, the same journey in portrait

On a phone, the “Réserver” button, on a green background, and the “Commander” button, on an orange one, stay at the top of the screen. The home page is recomposed vertically: the logo, “Népal & Inde, Paris”, the title and the welcome sentence stack up, then the bowl of momos in soup fills the bottom of the screen. As you scroll, each dish takes the width of the screen with its panel, like the one for the vegetable momos.

The booking form switches to a single column, in its golden frame, and the ordering page keeps its painted frames, with the section bar at the top and the cart bar at the bottom of the screen.

A website prepared for searches around Odéon

The website is prepared for what people look for in the neighborhood: a restaurant in the sixth arrondissement, a Nepalese restaurant in Paris, an Indian or Asian restaurant near Odéon, a vegetarian address, or directly the name Fast & Flavour. The page title, its description and its texts name the neighborhood, the arrondissement and the dishes that make the house, the momos, the palak paneer, the butter chicken.

A detailed presentation page completes the home page, and the full menu can be read as text on the ordering page. No spot on Google can be promised: what can be built is accurate, structured and consistent information that search engines can read without ambiguity.

A website for a Nepalese restaurant in Paris: momos, curries and takeaway near Odéon

A Nepalese restaurant in Paris first has to explain what a momo is: those Himalayan dumplings, vegetarian with cabbage, coriander and ginger or filled with chicken, served steamed, in jhol soup or wok-tossed in the Indian manner, next to a palak paneer, a chicken tikka masala or a butter chicken. A Nepalese and Indian restaurant website sorts it all, flags what is vegetarian or vegan, and takes momo takeaway orders and bookings. That is the Fast & Flavour site near Odéon, in the sixth arrondissement.

  • A bill with no padding: no agency quote, no commission on takeaway orders.
  • Ready in one steaming round: the name of the restaurant is enough, and menu, visuals and ordering pages are built in minutes.
  • Marble, brass and prayer flags: cream and ivory, veined marble, brass mirrors, a golden bowl of momos crowned with small prayer flags in a red and gold frame; the house’s own setting.
  • Vegetarian or chicken, at a moment’s notice: the owner switches a dish, a price or a sauce from his own space, and the site follows at once.
  • From golden bowl to till, no intermediary: orders and bookings arrive directly at the restaurant, with no agency or platform in the middle.
  • From Boulevard Saint-Michel to Sydney: the same software speaks several languages and shows each restaurant’s currency, in Lausanne or London too.

For a Nepalese restaurant in Paris around Odéon and the Latin Quarter, it is a site that presents each momo as a small journey and takes the order without detour.

The result: two cuisines, one journey

The Fast & Flavour website follows the journey the restaurant offers: you enter from a Paris street, settle into a marble dining room, and find yourself at the foot of the Himalayas when it is time to choose your dishes. In between, the essentials stay visible on every screen: the menu, takeout ordering and booking.
