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.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Thattu offers an exceptional dining experience with authentic Kerala cuisine. Guests rave about the "amazing flavors" and "great execution" of dishes like chicken curry and appams. The service is "attentive" yet casual, and the no-tip policy is appreciated. While the ordering system is modern, the "warm and welcoming" atmosphere shines.

    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.

    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.

    Great restaurant that knows how to make great food in a comfortable setting. The menu is diverse but also approachable for somebody who does not eat southern indian food often. We loved the really friendly staff, and even though the tipping is included in the food we would have been comfortable adding gratuity - and that’s a great feeling while dining!
