Here's a review that follows a slightly different trajectory from the usual. On one of our recces of central Mumbai for late-night Saturday nibbles, we were delighted to spot The Chimney Factory (TCF) near Shivaji Park. Delighted, not only because it stands out for its Hungarian offering of chimney cones on a stretch of Cadell Road lined with ice cream and milkshake parlours, but also because of the surprise it springs on you after you step into the deceptively small space.

Our first visit to TCF is on a January night. And given the faux winter that took over the city at the time, we opt for their traditional chimney cones in dark chocolate and caramel & peanut butter flavours ('120 each), served without ice cream. Fitted with multiple rotisseries, the store's façade is a busy space with all four employees engaged in different steps of cone-making.
