Talking about the idea behind getting the old menu back to Copper Chimney, Karan Kapoor said, "Copper Chimney has catered to multiple generations in numerous families. The legacy begins from the time when the grandparents were only parents, when the parents were only children, and today when those parents are bringing their children along to Copper Chimney. People have countless fond memories of dining at Copper Chimney over the years and with that level of emotion and nostalgia, we had a host of guests reminisce of dishes they had in the early 1970’s, 1980’s or 1990’s. Keeping this in mind, Copper Chimney has found a way to pay tribute to the fond memories of its guests at Copper Chimney over the years, than recreate and reintroduce many of those specials off our original menu."

Sharing his thought on the emotions involved in the menu back then, which the team feels people should experience even today, he added, "Each bite brings back a fond memory with family, friends, colleagues, or loved ones, and we hope that some of these dishes, served today brings back the memories and experiences which are created over a great meal, that have brought us to where we are as families and friends today."

It is also said that the menu was a huge success back then. Taking us through the story of the same, in those days, Karan said, "The dishes from our early years menu were hot sellers at the time; right from our perfectly cooked Tandoori Pomfret, a whole Pomfret cooked in the tandoor, flavored with a signature chutney, to our Chicken Kalmi Kebabs, served on the bone, or our Murgh Malai Kebab, which melts in your mouth, are all grills that our customers have enjoyed over the years. Our Kabuli Naan made with dry fruits, has made a comeback, and has had a cult following with Copper Chimney loyalists who have shared feedback to bring this dish back to our menu as well. We suggest for the fish lovers, Tandoori Pomfret will be a perfect dish, Kalmi Kebab for the chicken lovers. The Kabuli Naan served at Copper Chimney is never to miss for the bread aficionados and Mushroom Kheema for vegetarians. "

The drinks menu will feature signature cocktails like Achari Whisky with a drop of spicy mango pickle, Khatta Panna, a crushed mango based cocktail, street coolers such as Delhi Shikanji, Kala Khatta Jaljeera, Masala Cola and many more.
