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.

    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!

    We had a great first experience at Thattu! We had the Short Rib curry, Lunar New Year Special, Fried Chicken bites, and fish in banana leaves. Everything was delicious. The space is very industrial-looking in pictures, so I was expecting it to be loud and drafty, but the temperature was pleasant and acoustics were good. I love their ordering system - you send the order to the kitchen through a QR code and they bring it out. The servers are still very attentive and happy to answer questions, but you don't have to flag them down to order a second drink. Win/win! I didn't realize at first that they have a no tip/no service fee model, so I was a little confused at the end when there was no option to tip, but apparently they build service into the cost of menu items and just pay their servers well. Big fan of that! Everything was very well-executed. I will return soon with friends so we can try more dishes!
