The Copper Chimney

Food is always consistent and tasty. Went in on a Tuesday and has their Tuesday special (refer to their website). More food than I knew what do with. Loved their samosas, garlic naan, butter chicken and rice pudding-​esque dessert. Must try if you are in the area !

The somosas are so good!

Had take-​out on new Year’s day… one of the few places opened!!! We ordered quite a bit since there was a group of us
1. Methi peas
2. muttar paneer
3. butter chicken
4. lamb rohanjosh
5. aloo gobi
6. bindhi
7. dhal tarka
8. channa masala
9. chicken tikka
10. eggplant
11. garlic vegetable balls (but they didn’t show up)
hmm can’t remember if there was anything else… portion sizes were decent unless you ordered the meat dishes, then you get lots of sauce for dipping in. Containers were the black round plastic ones which I think are a decent size for take out. Overall we were pleased with our meal. They don’t cook anything spicy at all so good for the ‘north american’ palate. Basmati rice was nicely done and served in white styrofoam containers (so a good size)
Overall I thought it was good value for the money. It’s not like the deals you’d get in brampton or missisauga but for Toronto… this was good

Great local spot, always busy on the weekends (and even most weeknights too.) Sunday nights are jammed with people sitting down and people taking out. The food is all pretty tasty and they’re able to accommodate gluten sensitivities… all the curries are gluten free, as are most of the other dishes… everything except the Naan pretty much. Plus, for Avenue Rd, it’s all priced well too.

Poor customer experience. Very rude server. Extremely slow service. Would not recommend

Very good food, though we wanted to order more but was told kitchen closes by 9:30. To early to close by standards on an Indian restraunt

I really love this place, good quality food, good portioning, good service, and moderately priced for this neighbourhood. Portions are a bit more generous with take out and you can receive a 10% discount if you pay with cash. It is often quite busy around dinner time so you should make a reservation or call in advance as seating is limited. Occasionally the kitchen is a little slow last time i ordered take out they told me to come pick up in half hour and when I arrived I still had to wait about 15 mins to receive my order.
Their butter chicken is delicious with nice chunks of chicken breast and a rich sauce. All their briyani is tasty but they leave large chunks of seeds and other spices that can be gross to bite into and throws off your pallet for a while.

Surprisingly solid Indian meal on Avenue Road! All good vegetarian and seafood dishes that were not oily and overly spiced. I will definitely return.

Top notch Indian cuisine in a little place in north york. A hidden gem.

This is one of the best Indian restaurants I have found in Toronto. A lot of them are good, but you pay for it the next day. They taste great cus they are filled with excessive amounts of fat and cream and ghee which tends to cover the poorer quality ingredients and mass-​produced taste, but your body isn’t fooled and hates you afterwards.
The true test proving the quality of the food at Copper Chimney is when we took my colleagues mom here for lunch — a native from India — and if you know any Indian mom’s, you know they know food and that they can cook… and that they will be more than happy to criticize any restaurants food and convince you to just come back home to their home cooking :)
But this mama was impressed! Awed by the authenticity of many of the dishes, she liked them all and even compared a few to back home. She didn’t rave about this too loudly mind you, but all the food was cleaned off her plate by the end of the meal.
The samosas are fresh, hot and crispy, and all of their curries are rich, hearty and fresh. And they will always accommodate when requested.
4 stars because the service can be a tad slow at times, hard to find parking, and the ventilation is a bit lacking.
Check it out if are craving a home-​made Indian meal, without all the work!

one of the best indian restaurants u can go in this town… The butter chicken is the best in toronto… Good food, friendly staff and perfect ventilation for such a small place. I have found my indian restaurant finally…

We eat here pretty regularly. Tuesday is our favourite day because diners receive 10%off. We usually get the butter chicken, vegetable korma, naan. I enjoy the food and find the flavours very nice. bread is amazing! This week the butter chicken was also very god though I would say that the chicken could be a bit more tender. Of course we will come again to this place. The service is great as well. Décor is slightly outdated, in my opinion. Tweaks could have me give them a 5 star rating.

Decent food. BUT …
Got the dinner for 2 take out special. They clearly were in it to rip me off. The special is 40.95 + tax with a 10% discount when you pay cash. I asked why my bill came out to 47 something when it arrived. they said it must have been a mistake when I was quoted the number over the phone. The man said it very smug. Sure enough, I checked the menu online and they had charged me for the individual items versus the special which is what I asked for.
Not a way to run a business. Make sure you check your bill.

Food was very good. Inside is a little small and outdated. Some of the menu items were not available (mango chicken) because they were sold it. It was still pretty early in the night though. Will definitely go back again though, for the food alone.

Food is really good, but the waiter was terrible. No humble. Just «I know people with money come here, so everyone has to be like that». No humble.

I am very picky with indian food. VERY! Last night was the first time we tried this place and we did take out so we can have dinner while watching movies… and you know, sometimes with takeout, they give you a lot less because you only realize it when you get home BUT, this wasn’t the case.
We ordered Butter Chicken and Lamb Roganjosh, rice and 2 orders of naan. Everything was absolutely delicious! Lots of places make their butter chicken with ketchup or sweet and that’s not the right way to make butter chicken. THIS place, is like my other favourite indian restaurant in Etobicoke so now I don’t have to go all the way there for GREAT butter chicken. The Lamb Roganjosh was also off the charts. The sauces are different (Not like some places where all the dishes taste the same).
Rice — Steamed rice was not your normal plain simple dry rice. this was great! Had some colour to it as well. Naan was fresh and soft even after sitting out a bit.
Overall, great food! We will definitely try dining there for the experience next time.

I have to give 5 for 5, the food was made with love. I don’t think there is a higher compliment. I really liked the small but well done décor. The appetizer was the first one in menu and a super good light pastry with veggies and sauce, unforgettable! If I could just remember the name. The chx tikka masala is like the basic test, and they past it with flying indian colors. And an amazing veggie dish with veggie balls, who doesn’t like veggie balls? Jummy! Garlic nann, rice and rieta and we walked out so happy and full. This place goes into my Toronto restaurant list of places I not only want to come back too, but want to bring friends and work clients along so they can taste the love too.

So I am allocated 42 dollars for supper while traveling. When you think about it with tax and a drink or two you can surpass that fairly quickly. But I will admit it was not easy to do at the Copper Chimney. We arrived as a group of four, place seemed full and I could tell there was a possibility we would be leaving fairly quickly when it came as a shock to the host we had not made reservations for this Friday night. Well, they just took the reserved card right off a table and gave it to us. They could probably tell by my open toe sandals and Nebraska Corn Huskers hat I was going to be drinking a lot of high margin beer. Got the Channa Masala and Butter Chicken (on a side note I am not Indian but would certainly challenge any restaurant with my own India Fare, I make it hot) it was good, chicken was boneless and without any fat. My friends’ dishes also appeared to look pretty good. Food is fresh and there is a lot of if for the price. I played it safe with the standard Indian plates but there were many options. Beer is in bottle no tap but good selection of Asian and N. American. Full fare was 40 bucks with taxes and booze. Good Show.

Came here with work colleagues to celebrate the start of summer. Copper Chimney is apparently a favorite of the locals. Service was pretty good as I found our server to be extremely attentive. One of the dishes was extremely spicy (for me) and I needed a lot of water so our server came to the rescue. CC has a lot of lunch specials and you get bang for your buck. I ordered the Chef’s Special ($ 10), which was a generous portion. Anyway, I’ve had the opportunity to check out a few Indian restaurants — CC was good, but nothing out of this world hence the three star review. That being said, I would not be opposed to dine here if I was invited out.
Good for: Indian, lunch

Amazing food! Very good service! if you feel like having indian food i definitely recommend it!
