Copper Chimney, a beloved name in Indian cuisine with a legacy spanning over five decades, has opened its doors to a stunning new flagship restaurant in the heart of Bandra on Linking Road. This new location honors its rich history while introducing a fresh, modern vibe that resonates with the vibrant neighborhood.

The restaurant’s legacy in Bandra dates back to the late '90s, and its newest space combines tradition with innovation. The interiors are designed with a contemporary flair, featuring an Art Deco-inspired foyer, intricately suspended brass bells, and an open kitchen that showcases Copper Chimney’s signature copper-clad tandoors. The dining area blends colonial-style furniture with warm wood accents and neutral tones, creating a relaxed yet refined atmosphere, punctuated by greenery for a fresh touch.

As part of the new offerings, Copper Chimney introduces exciting additions to the menu, such as the freshly baked Punjabi kulchas served with a variety of dips and toppings. The Street Chaats, like Dilli wali aloo tikki, Anarkali bazaar dahi phulki, and Muradabadi dal ki chaat, bring a vibrant, bazaar-inspired twist to the restaurant’s famed repertoire. These dishes sit alongside the restaurant's time-honored favorites, including Kadak Roomali, Chelo Kabab, Burrah Chops, Ab-e-Hayat soup, and the slow-cooked Dal Maharaja.

To mark this new chapter, Copper Chimney has launched a limited-time Spice Bazaar-inspired Bar Menu, available from February 8th to February 28th. This special menu is a collaboration between the restaurant's chefs and bartenders, offering a curated selection of classic kababs paired with innovative cocktails and mocktails infused with Copper Chimney's signature spice blends. This Chef-Bartender partnership celebrates the restaurant’s secret spice mixes, passed down through generations, offering diners an immersive experience where food and drink harmonize perfectly.

Midweek, Reimagined: Lyla Bombay Launches Candlelight Singalong Wednesdays

Midweek, Reimagined: Lyla Bombay Launches Candlelight Singalong Wednesdays

Published on April 3, 2026

Two years since opening its doors, Lyla Bombay continues to evolve its identity, this time by turning its focus to something more intimate and experience-driven. Marking its second anniversary, the restaurant introduces Candlelight Singalong Wednesdays, a weekly ritual designed to transform the rhythm of midweek evenings.

Set against the backdrop of Mumbai’s bustling business district, Lyla shifts gears as the sun sets. Lights dim, candlelight takes over, and the space transitions into a setting that feels personal and unstructured. The experience moves beyond the format of a traditional performance, creating an environment where the line between artist and audience softens, allowing guests to become a part of the moment.

The concept sits somewhere between a live music session and a singalong, not quite a concert, not quite karaoke. Instead, it leans into a shared, easy energy where familiar songs fill the room and strangers find connection through music. The result is an atmosphere that feels spontaneous, warm, and quietly electric.

Complementing the experience is Lyla’s thoughtfully curated menu, featuring dishes that balance comfort with indulgence. Standout offerings such as Prawns Moilee, truffle mushroom risotto, and the restaurant’s signature stuffed ravioli add depth to the evening, aligning seamlessly with the relaxed yet elevated tone of the event.

Candlelight Singalong Wednesdays form part of a larger anniversary chapter for Lyla, which also introduces a refreshed, globally inspired all-day dining menu alongside an expanded lineup of weekend experiences. The idea is simple yet intentional, to create a space that adapts to the pace of its guests, whether they arrive for a quiet morning or stay through a lively evening.

With this new offering, Lyla Bombay positions itself not just as a dining destination, but as a space where moments unfold naturally, turning an ordinary Wednesday into something worth returning for.
