Dinner at Chili's, Connaught Place New Delhi

My wife and I were in Connaught Place on 1st Jan, soaking in the New Year revelry around us. We had planned a dinner and were looking for an exciting place when we bumped into Chili's. The lady at the desk outside had a very picturesque menu and the food (mainly American & Mexican) looked very inviting. We walked in and were quickly offered a table (it’s a relief when you don't have to wait outside for a table). The GT Road outlet next door told us there was a waiting time of 45 minutes, phew!!

Karan, the associate who served us, was patient enough for us to decide on the dishes. We ordered 'Non-Veg Triple Dipper', Cajun Chicken Burger and Colas. Karan helped us decide which of the five options on the Dipper were more spicy. Karan quickly served the Colas (customers are encouraged to ask for refills). While we were sipping our beverages, the Triple Dipper arrived with 'Egg Rolls, Chicken Crispers and Boneless Chicken Wings in Hot Sauce. These came with 3 different types of Dips and 4 Slices of Carrot. The Cajun Burger came with Fries and a small bowl of Cucumber and Radish pickles. Karan brought us two small bowls of Hot Sauce (which tasted a little like spicy gravy) so the mildly spicy Crispers and Egg-Rolls could be enjoyed better.

It was time to dig in and enjoy the spread before us. The Boneless wings in Hot Sauce were sour and tasty and one can enjoy these with the 3 dips available. The Crispers had to be dipped in the Spicy Gravy for better enjoyment and the Egg Rolls were mild according to Indian standards of taste and flavor. The Cajun Burger had a thick Chicken patty that lacked flavor and was a little cold. It was sparsely sprinkled with chopped onion, a slice of tomato and a few pickles. We asked for a refill of our beverages and finished our meal with ease.

The outlet has good music playing in the background, the staff members are warm and polite with great service standards. The ambience is bright and colorful with graphitti visible on the walls. I would love to go back and enjoy many more dishes from their menu. Thank you for hosting us and making our evening a memorable one. :)

PS: Please make sure the food is warm enough during the winters. Both the dishes were cold minutes after they were served to us and that affected the food experience a little.
