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.

    Phenomenal service, food, and cocktails. The fish in the banana leaf is a must-order, and the biriyani is excellent.

    Delicious food with so many different flavors. Appreciated that much of the menu is dairy free. And that tips are built into the base price. Love seeing restaurants move to that model. Staff was super friendly and helpful! Can’t wait to visit again.

    Thattu you stole my heart a year ago, and I’m grateful you’re still thriving so I get to experience the incredibly delicious food you prepare.
