Excellent food and service
I think TGIF should be reviewed from the perspective of the audience that it targets. Quite simply, TGIF is the kind of restaurant that folks who are familiar with international cuisine would enjoy. If nothing trumps Indian food in your book and you believe food is tasteless without masala, you probably won't enjoy the flavors of the West. This is obviously not a reflection on the restaurant, but the result of your own preferences.
Those who do enjoy global cuisines (or American and Mexican cuisine to be exact), will find the food wonderful. In fact, it is probably the only restaurant in Bombay that serves beef worth eating (in the continental style, of course). Other restaurants that offer beef steaks tend to have a peculiar "boiled" flavor in the meat. In Indian dishes, this is probably not so noticeable with the heavy flavors of the masala to mask it. TGIF staff will make note of how you want your steak done every single time you order one.
I would also note that I always receive fresh produce. The broccoli is greener than anything I've seen in the supermarket. It's REALLY fresh.
The staff is always extremely friendly and always smiling. They come to your table to ensure that your meal is satisfactory and can be called upon at any time since there's always someone walking past every few minutes. The time taken to be served varies according to what you've selected. Appetizers arrive quicker than main courses.
I did get the impression that they prefer patrons to be well-dressed judging by the way my attire was scrutinized the first time I walked toward their door. (The maitre d' wears a suit.) However, I've never had any "discussions" regarding my attire, despite arriving in jeans and sandals on practically every occasion. I can understand the preference for a smart casual dress code since they're soliciting that kind of clientele. On the other hand, it IS a mall, so I don't imagine they'd be able to stick to that dress code too rigidly. In any case, I have never had such a problem on any of my visits. (Just by way of comparison, I HAVE been told that "the restaurant is closed" at the Chinese restaurant in Atria Mall in Worli. I put it down to our jeans and sandals attire since other diners were seated and being served at the time. Thus, in this respect, I have to say TGIF is far friendlier and will be receiving far more business from me.)
I visit TGIF once a month. I would visit more often if their prices were lower. That said, they've suddenly started offering a Rs.500 discount on the next bill whenever I run up a bill of more than Rs.1,000. That happens quite easily with drinks and a meal and dessert.
I am quite happy with the ambience. I don't think the music needs to be louder or softer. It's fine as it is. I'm happy to be able to hear my friends sitting across the table without having to make them yell. The mood is relaxed yet upbeat.
Altogether, it is always a satisfying experience.

Nope maybe on a monday
Angrez chale gaye, inko chodd gaye.
Okay place, with too loud music, suddenly hovering over to take order when you are not ready & then disappearing till god knows when.
Had a warm discussion regarding my wearing a shorts...don't know what is their problem when my wife does not mind....
Ok if you want to have a drink whilst waiting to go for a movie

Needs re-pricing..(reduce it)
Hello
Yes ofcourse no doubt its a good place, great decor...
- It needs to reduce the pricing, because there are more than 5 restaurants in the walking distance, serving similar or better food
- Needs to upgrade its STAFF (attitude) to serve with a smile to every customer, "EVERY" means even if a couple walks in and would only like to have a small light meal, just before the movie (cinemax) starts... they should understand its location proximity to a cinema, which makes its easy for many couples to just walk in casually,,..trying to pass some time ...happily...because they are already spendnig a BOMB on the tickets :))

very american
I visited this place a couple of weeks ago with a friend of mine who came down from the USA. Since he's a vegetarian he never had the opportunity of having good veg Mexican food in the USA.
When we entered we were shocked to see the restaurant completely empty. But it could possibly be because of the timing- we went there for lunch on a weekday.
The restaurant sported a very American look.
What we ordered:
vegetarian Mexican stack
veg chimichanga
1 diet coke
Total Bill : 1300 for 2
Both the dishes were delicious. The chimichanga was served with Salad and sour cream( the sour cream didn't look too good, so i skipped it)
The food was VERY heavy and surprisingly we could not finish what we called for. Portions are huge.
Undeniably, an expensive restaurant - not ideal for college students
I'd go there again only because i haven't had better Mexican food elsewhere in Mumbai

dinner at TGIF
Hd been to TGIF last night. Food is good. I called for Double glazed chicken TGIF special. It came with mashed potatoes in cheese and baked corns. Glazing tasted yum . Reached just in time for happy hours so the drink was served "buy one get one free" basis. I was alone so just called in for a bacardi cranberry.
The ambience is very average, or I should rather say lots of other food joints of the same calibre have better ambience. I find ruby tuesday equally xpensive but better decor and pathetic food :P
Anyway, so this place is quite xpensive. got one glazed chicken for myself and one parceled+ one breezer which was enough to cause a hole in my pocket. There are better steak places in the city , much cheaper . A one time experience is good but wouldnt go there again, but if i am in a mood to spend quite a bit!
what all came in:
double glazed chicken served with potatoes n corn, 2 nos
happy hours(buy one get one) breezer
Damage: 1200+ tip
Food: ****
Decor: **
Value for money: **
