When someone talks about American food, your mind tends to gravitate towards burgers naturally. However, American food is way beyond burgers. This vibrant cuisine is enriched by Mexican gastronomic influence, which more often we can say finds its way into American menus. Exactly for that reason you see several American food chains carrying Mexican dishes on their menu. One prime example of this is Chili’s, a popular American restaurant chain highly influenced by Mexican heritage. Now Chili’s sister brand, Chili’s American Grill & Bar is accumulating interest amongst Mumbaikers. While they don’t change anything, this brand is a more affordable version. Try the outlet at Ventura Building, Hiranandani Business Park, Central Avenue Road, Powai, which is one out of five outlets of Chili’s American Grill & Bar in Mumbai.

Chili’s American Grill & Bar’s food menu is a colorful flavourful mix of American, Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisines. Such an awesome mix of flavours gives the menu a vibrancy only accentuated by their complementing bar selection. Sip on a margarita to go the Mexican way or call for a whisky or vodka as the mood takes you. With it tuck into a vast variety of nibbles. Classic nachos, chipotle chicken flatbread, Texas cheese poppers, signature wings, triple dipper, Santa Fe cottage cheese salad, southwestern rolls, crispy seafood trio and creamy jalapeno wings will last you through the evening. Order yourself a burger choosing whichever patty you want. The ultimate bacon burger, southwestern smokehouse burger are great hits. Pair your mojito or margarita with classic Mexican fare. Fajitas, enchiladas, Mex bowls, quesadillas, tacos, all are welcome. Or order between baby back ribs, pastas or chicken grills.

This gastronomic party doesn’t stop here. It carries into a medley of delicious desserts worthy of making your mouth drool. Eat, molten chocolate cake, skillet chocolate chip cookie, cheesecake, sizzling brownie sundae and a red velvet cake. Kids get their own special menu. Their signature chili is awesome. Portion sizes are hearty, order accordingly. This outlet of Chili’s is fashioned pretty much the same. Red cushioned chairs with plush red booths sits diners comfortably. Patterned tabletops match the chairs perfectly. Lighting is bright and ambience is noisy. This is not the place for quiet meals. The restaurant is usually filled to the brim with chirpy youngsters and office goers stopping by for meal. The distinct American diner vibe is their USP.
