Copper Chimney Lower Parel, Mumbai

My mama (from Delhi) is a big fan of Copper Chimney and he visits us here in Mumbai at least once a year and we usually end up going to various outlets of Copper Chimney or Moti Mahal :D He is a big fan of Mughlai/ North Indian food and is not a big experimenter in terms of cuisines,so I guess he likes sticking to his tried-and-tested, safe options. And as far as North Indian/ Mughlai/ Tandoori food goes,this place is pretty good :)

Stay braced,as the name itself is 'Copper Chimney', the ambiance is also extremely earthy, elegant, rooted in our soil :) It is comfortable and particularly good for going with families for casual dining or even celebrating a nice occasion.

Yes, this is one of those place where you want to take pictures of everything-the walls, the lamps, the bells, the mirrors, the panels. Told you, it is elegant :D

We have seen many large parties walk in, the place is spacious and thus frequented by large groups. So next time you have 10 hungry people rooting for good North Indian food and you are in the vicinity of High Street Phoenix, Lower Parel, you know where to come :D This AND Cream Center are probably your best bets. Cream Center is pure veg while Copper Chimney caters to both veggies as well as non-veggies :) 

Oh yeah, there is the kitchen-see that foggy area? :D Always a great idea for foodies to see their delicious meal being prepared fresh & hot,right? :D

We have tasted quite a few dishes on the menu,and I would recommend Subz Handi, Kadhai Paneer, Dal Maharaja, Roomali Roti, Lachcha Paratha, Veg Biryani. My mama loves Chicken Tikka, Murgh Makhni and Mutton Biryani here. I am especially sold on that lovely chutney that accompanies the food. Yum :D Oh,and also you can try some drinks here, quite good all of them (especially if someone else is paying) :D

It is NOT easy on the pocket. A filling meal for 4 people would involve 2 starters, 2 curries, an Indian bread or biryani & maybe a dessert and it would come to a minimum of 2600-3200. So it is not a place that I would frequent on my own quite frequently, but once in a while is good enough :) Be aware of the rush that happens on the weekend though-a minimum waiting time of 15-20 minutes is expected after 8.30 PM and sometimes,it leads to food being delayed up to half hour-45 minutes too! It happened just once with us, on a particularly busy day, otherwise the staff is quite efficient and polite :) 

Do visit it once, I would surely recommend it!
