Copper Chimney is a small, intimate restaurant. The atmosphere was very nice, quiet, white table clothes, with unique light fixtures and other decor. The service was exceptional and attentive without imposing. The food was excellent. We had Daal Bukhara, butter chicken, subzi sangam, with mixed vegetable pakora and garlic vegetable balls to start. There was ample food for 3 with enough leftover for lunch for one the next day. We really enjoyed our time there.
The staff is incredibly polite and amazing. Recently, during a dinner outing with friends, we enjoyed delicious food. To our surprise, although it wasn't my birthday, one of the staff members overheard us discussing it and kindly surprised us with ice cream and gulabjamun. The thoughtful gesture was truly appreciated. Thank you for making our evening extra special!
Spoiled my spouse bday dinner. Food was horrible especially panner Makhani..panner very very hard and gravy was like raw tomato puree. Prathas and roti was very tight and not eatable. Insipite of mentioning this to waiter twice noone was hardly bothered, infact they didn’t even said sorry for spoiling our special moments.
I was very very disappointed with their food served and non caring gesture.

We have dined in and taken out three times now in the last 6 months. If you like Indian food it is absolutely delicious! Fantastic options for vegetarians and meat eaters alike! 5 stars!
everything down to the rice was delicious

Went for lunch after number of years. The place is falling apart. I understand that the pricing has increased everywhere based on COVID, but here they reduced the amounts, and quality has degraded. It is to bad… but we will not. E going back to this place. Food is tasteless .. nans are burnt and over it was not good experience.
Great place to try Indian food if you are new to the cuisine, they have toned down the spice level to accommodate patrons with lesser spice acceptance. Try the sizzling kebab platter it’s amazing. The lamb RoganJosh and butter chicken were outstanding. They have some Indian beers on the menu too I had cheetah for the 1st time and really enjoyed it.
Enjoyed a great dinner last night at Copper Chimney. We had a lamb dish, the chilli paneer, garlic naan and a side of rice. Prices were decent, service was prompt and the food tasted great. It was our first time at the restaurant, and we will definitely be back.
This is a review on delivery
Fried appetizers like the mixed vegetable pakora ($5.50) are terrible for delivery. Pakoras I’ve had in the past have been fluffy fritters studded with shredded vegetables, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Copper Chimney’s are dry like food court falafel that have been left on the warmer all day. It’s such a shame, as I can see the large pieces of onions and carrots in the batter. It’s just so overdone (or perhaps fried during lunch and merely re-heated for dinner) that I had to wash it down with a drink.
Another overcooked dish was the lucknowi reshmi kebab ($14). Maybe tandoori is something that must be eaten at the restaurant, as Pataki’s review mentioned it being moist and delicious. What arrived at our house was covered in a tasty spice mixture (like a slightly spicy saffron), but so dry that it’s like eating cubes of chicken breast that has been reheated in a microwave and then cooled down again. Another gulp of drink to get this down.
The best part of the dish was the creamed coriander and mint chutney dipping sauce. It’s such a great refreshing bright yoghurt sauce that I tried it with everything in the meal. If you don’t get the kebab, it’s even worth ordering the condiment solely to put on other items.
Finally, the meal improved when I turned my attention to the saag paneer ($12), the spinach and onion puree so fresh and vibrant tasting, unlike so many other places where it’s rendered to a dark mush. Large cubes of soft Indian cheese are mixed throughout, these were thankfully left neutral and remained moist.
The saag goes wonderfully with basmati rice ($4) or garlic naan ($3.50), both sides arrive in huge portions (the naan two times larger than ones found in other restaurants). I just wished we ordered more curries to go with the grains.
Instead, I had to try their shrimp biryani ($17) and wasn’t disappointed. Despite it looking like another order of basmati when we opened the lid, get through the first layer and you’re greeted with a lovely fragrant rice that’s filled with flavours and a kick of heat that had me reaching for the raita. Here the shrimp were cooked nicely, still plump and tender despite trying this dish last.
