Westlake is a hot-bed for new business. The city’s favorable economic environment makes it attractive, as does Crocker Park as a retail focal point and proximity to I-90. Here are a few new or coming establishments.
Choolah Indian BBQ
This fast-casual Indian restaurant came to Westlake based on popular demand. Boasting authentic flavors and spices, an open kitchen and music, Choolah features wraps priced from approximately $9 and bowls with proteins averaging about $17. Specialty drinks include mint ginger and mango lemonade, hot and chilled chai and mango lassi. In addition to a pickup lane and delivery, a 40-seat dining room is available.

Chipotle Mexican Grill
Chipotle will soon open its second Westlake location on Detroit near Columbia. According to Imad Nouneh of MHN, Chipotle has been searching for another location in Westlake for quite some time. This Chipotle is one of their newer iterations complete with a pickup window designed specifically to accommodate orders placed on the Chipotle app. Customers use the window only when their orders are ready. Dine-in will also be an option for those wishing to eat inside or dine on the outdoor patio. The food chain is currently under construction and will open soon.
