When a restaurant that you have been visiting for years opens a
new outlet in the city, it is time to check it out, right? Am talking about Copper Chimney… It also
coincides with their 25th year in Chennai, quite apt that they open
their next outlet and that too at the newest most popular address in
town- Phoenix Market City, Velachery on the 2nd floor.

Mumbai welcomed the first Copper Chimney in 1972.
Founded by J K Kapur, 45 years back, Copper Chimney’s 1st outlet was in Worli. I was told one of their Ustad’s [master chefs] has been with them for 44 years in this Mumbai outlet!!

The Velachery venue is elegant and contemporary with wooden
dado, tiled pattern flooring in patches and textured walls. Copper accents
are juxtaposed against fresh wood tones and earthy cane, with bursts of colour
and foliage, to create a warm, inviting vibe. Loved the open space, and natural
light streaming in through the thick wall to wall glass windows. There‟s
even a little corner showcasing unique spice blends and artisanal pickles for
sale, coming soon.

The first step in and you cant not notice the legacy
stories on the wall and the giant copper bells installation. The
absolute highlight of the restaurant interior is the very active live kitchen
wherein the customers can enjoy the view of the food being prepared fresh in
the kitchen.

The menu is extensive, the menu card is more of a magazine, with
photographs of Ustads, cooking process and ofcourse the dishes as well. Each
dish contains a little mention of the region from where inspiration was
drawn.

When it comes to food, the Tandoors are fired at first light,
grills marinated for over eight hours and the signature dal is slow-cooked to
perfection. Central to this process are the “Ustads‟ or
master chefs of Copper Chimney. These chefs are trained and nurtured
for decades, gaining in-depth knowledge of ingredients, cooking styles and
recipes handed down over generations.

The
dessert menu offers quite the eclectic variety; like the interesting Almond
Phirni Chikki Crumble – a chilled rice pudding topped with crunchy jaggery nut
squares that we tried, or the exceptional Muzaffar – thick Lucknowi rabdi with
golden, roasted vermicelli.
