Asking For Restaurant Recommendations And Directions

What does “in the mood for” mean in English?

When you are in the mood for something, you want it right now. It is a small wish for this moment. People ask “What are you in the mood for?” to learn what food or drink you want. You can answer with food: “I’m in the mood for pizza.” You can also say “I’m not in the mood” when you do not feel like doing a thing.

In the clip, a person asks for a restaurant. The other person replies, “Certainly. What are you in the mood for?” The first person says, “Maybe a salad? I’m not very hungry.” It is a normal, friendly way to ask what someone wants.
