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.

The food is amazing and the staff is always friendly too. I felt like we waited a really long time just to receive our drinks and starter course but it was Valentine’s Day so I know they were busy and the bar probably got backed up.

Amazing food and great ambiance. The servers came by often to give us new plates and silverware. We had the octopus sopecitos, lamb biriyani, chai and rasmali tres leches cake and they were all so delicious. We will definitely be coming back!
