Copper Chimney

We remember featuring the 40th anniversary celebrations of this iconic Indian restaurant by the endearing Joy Kapur. That was a decade ago! Copper Chimney has come a long way, from the time it opened its first outlet in Worli to today, with eight brick and mortar eateries, one delivery kitchen in the city and a well-established presence in other metros as well. Indian food has pretty much been etched in the minds of the cuisine’s aficionados courtesy the brand, famous for its made-to-order cooking, high quality produce and recipes that have been passed down from generations.

The tandoor takes centre stage at the restaurant with breads that are so fresh, straight out of the well pre-heated ovens. The paper-thin roomali is also done in a wholewheat option and the kadak roomali is a signature twist, with choice toppings of spices, seasonings and cheese. Take a sip of the Kala Khatta Jaljeera or the Achari Whisky with a drop of spicy mango pickle while you wait for the Paneer Tikka – with probiotic yogurt, Smoked White Pepper Chicken Chops and the ever popular Burrah Chop. Mains feature delicacies like Benarasi Malai Kofta, the 21-spice blend Rogan Josh and the must-order Murg Makhani. All this is served to you exquisitely by the “ustads” of Copper Chimney, chefs not as much.

Patiala Kulfi and rasmalai bring up the rear, but it’s the Muzaffar that takes the cake. The Lucknowi sensation bears resemblance to the phirni or rice kheer. Indulge, please!
