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.

    Great atmosphere, absolutely delicious food and cocktails, and the staff did a really nice job of helping my grandmother with a restricted palette find something she could enjoy. Super recommended. Thanks for helping us celebrate a family member's birthday.

    Amazing food, great cocktails and attentive service. Not a fan of ordering everything online, but can live with that given how delicious everything is.

    The flavors of the food were out of this world and the service was low-key at wonderful. You order everything via your phone and pay that way also. It is a no tipping restaurant.

    Great service. My friend has gluten and egg allergies and our server offered to check with the kitchen to see which dishes she should avoid. So very kind of her to go above and beyond. We ordered everything online and they paced the food nicely. We ordered the kappa bonda, mushroom and fried chicken appetizers and the kadala curry. Everything was delicious but my personal favorite was the kadala curry. The crowd was a mix of families and friends. Lovely space. I’d definitely go back.

    I have never had food from Kerala before, and can say it is truly unique compared to what I'm used to when I go out for Indian cuisine. The ingredients and flavors made the dishes exciting. Though you order through your phone directly to the kitchen, the staff is still very attentive and accommodating.

    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.
