About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Vegetarian-friendly
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.

    I will preface: the food at Thattu is excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed it! The experience overall, however was very average. I will note that this is likely due to misaligned expectations on my part rather than anything that Thattu did (or didn't do). The space is very casual. The servers, who were prompt and professional, will tell you the day's specials, bring the food, and fill up the water, though that's about it since you order via the Toast app and a QR code. If you're going with a group of friends and want great food while chatting - Thattu is an excellent choice. As a date spot, I felt it left something to be desired.

    The best food, drinks and atmosphere!! Absolutely love this place! My favorite dish is the Kadala curry with appam!! And to drink I usually go with the ginger cooler which is delicious but tried Mel’s elixir this time and that was also soo good!

    I’ve dined at Thattu’s for several years now and the quality of food and service has always been superb. I’m glad we have an authentic Kerala restaurant in Chicago.

    Outstanding menu to taste food “from God’s own Country “. Developed with the South Indian cuisine in mind to cater to the local population. I wish parking was a little easier.
