Ramji (R. Madhavan) is an expert cook from a village in Bihar, who accepts an offer to go to London as a cook to an Indian businessman. An offer he half-heartedly accepts to meet the pressing dowry demands of his sister's marriage. Unfortunately, the cook's employer is dead by the time Ramji reaches London and he soon finds himself wandering around aimlessly in the unfamiliar foreign city. To add to his difficulties, Ramji even loses his passport and visa at a railway station. Hope resurfaces as an Indian couple comes to Ramji's rescue and also employs him as a chef in their Indian restaurant. From here on starts Ramji's cross-cultural journey from Bihar to his new abode - London. A lot of food recipes, language chaos, communication barriers, immigration conspiracy and unassuming love story follow. The immigration department comes down heavily on Ramji who now has no choice but to marry a UK citizen. Thus begins the marriage of convenience drama. Shamita (Samita) who is already is in a relationship (Raj Zutshi) agrees to the arrangement. The rest of the film is all about the immigration authorities being on Ramji's case and how he emerges triumphant.
