Comfort food from Kerala, India's spice garden. Thattu is located in the beautiful Chicago neighborhood of Avondale. It was born of Chef Margaret Pak’s love for the southwest Indian coastal cuisine of Kerala. Our menu brings you traditions of Kerala along with playful interpretations from our culinary team. Rich with aromatic spices, coconut and curry leaves, the cuisine is a celebration of the bounty of the land and the sea.

    First visit to Thattu and I’m very glad to have booked this place for dinner. Great food and I cannot stress that enough. Their chicken appetizer and the chicken curry was sublime. A must visit.

    My second time at Thattu was also great. I brought my parents with me this time around and they enjoyed everything, both the food and ambiance. Will always recommend this place to everyone.

    We had a lovely dinner, especially enjoying the short ribs and black chickpeas. Service was good and the atmosphere is casual, lively, and comfortable. We look forward to returning and trying other dishes.

    When you think of Indian food, you think of spice quantity and color. Without any of those it is white washed Indian food and that’s exactly what this was. Not to say the food was bad. Just unexpected bland. A notable mention is the beat ketchup that comes with the tater tots which my sister loved. Otherwise I would say if you’re coming to Chicago for the first time, this is a miss but if you live here, try it out.

    Wonderful staff and everything we ordered (which was a lot :-) was terrific. They are a tipless restaurant and incredibly reasonably priced for the quality of the food and caliber of the staff. I will definitely be back!
