| Thai Chili is a gem located in a fairly basic strip center. Its walls are bedecked with Thai story figures set in lighted niches. The menu features a fairly personal style of cooking, the work of longtime Atlanta chef Robert Khankiew. The varying levels of hotness pertaining to affected dishes is signaled with red peppers; be aware that even a single pepper indicated beside a dish on the menu may indicate too much heat for some palates. Open with a tasty nam sod, a tangy mix of minced pork, chili, ginger, onions, lime juice and peanuts, or perhaps the comforting coconut milk-based chicken soup. We also like the wild catfish nuggets sautéed with Thai eggplant and galangal root shreds, also known as Thai ginger. Quite spicy (it merits two peppers), it has been a signature dish for years. Many items are vegetarian, with tofu as the protein. Dessert is nothing special, unless mango ice cream is available. Bypass the wine list and reach for a Thai beer to quell the heat, or bring your own wine (corkage is just $10 a bottle). Free delivery is limited to three miles from the restaurant for a minimum of $15. |
