Was in Chicago for work and only had time for 1 spot and Im so glad I came to Thattu. The good, the service, the vibes were all immaculate. It's a small yet powerful menu. Personally the fish was my favorite but there wasn't a single item that I didn't love. I'm not a big dessert person but that bread pudding was phenomenal. Thanks for such an amazing dinner. This will always be on my list when I visit Chicago.

We loved Thattu! The food was truly delicious. It was one of those meals where you know whatever the chef cooks is just going to be fresh, well balanced, inventive. Yum, and that hot sauce was on point. Service was great - and I liked the fact that tipping is not accepted. Rather, they pay staff a living wage and that is folded into the menu prices. The ambiance was open and simple. Overall we were so happy to have checked this place out and will be back again and again.

There is a really good vibe at this place, completely tip-free, quick service, and good food. Fish in banana leaf was the table favorite followed by the coconut ice-cream. The other dishes were great but it's not like I am gonna come back for them. Go in with an easy opinion and you will not be disappointed.
This is not 'Thattu', it should be aptly named 'Thattip'. Being a keralite I m thoroughly disappointed at the fake interpretation of Kerala food this restaurant had to offer. We spent close to $150. Not a single thing tasted anything close to home.

Not one to share reviews generally, but felt this one needed a shoutout! Starting from the ambience to the service to the food, all the way! Loved the chemmeen and kappa-amazing! The appam was so soft and fluffy-had ordered it with the Konkan ghee roast. The waitress who helped with my order was a real darling! She even gave me a box of payasam to go! Thank you for making my time at Chicago so memorable, i will be back for more!

It's difficult to share the experience we had here in words. Great Indian restaurant that has done justice to Indian food. Very few such restaurants exists. Most Indian places don't taste authentic. Their appam is amazing. Stew and the chickpea curry(kadala curry) was delicious. Curd rice was perfect. We cant wait to try rest of the menu. Their staff was great. While the world is divided about the idea of tips, they dont accept any tips. No one would mind tipping here though.

Honest review .
This restaurant is more like a fusion and not a kerala restaurant.The taste of food doesn't match any authentic dish of Kerala. The portion size is extremely less for the price. We searched for a kerala restaurant and we got disappointed tasting the food. The chicken curry tasted awful with more sourness. The egg and Appam's appam was so sour.
The reviews might be done by those who have not tasted the authentic taste of Kerala.
As I said, it's more of some other restaurant and not a kerala restaurant.

Excellent kerala inspired cuisine. I first dined with them when they were located in Politan Row. Glad to see the full fledged restaurant. Ambience is simple and beautiful. Location is a little off the beaten path, but well worth the drive. Prices are reasonable. Portion sizes of some dishes could be a little more. Quality is amazing.

My sister recommended this place to us on a whim of wanting to find a good date night spot. I wasn’t sure what to think because this isn’t a region of India I’ve ever tasted.
I cannot say enough praises. The atmosphere is so laid back and the music was at a volume where you could actually hear the other person. This place is a no tipping restaurant, so you place orders on your phone, but the staff was still caring and so kind.
AND THE FOOD. WOW. So incredibly flavorful and nothing like any other Indian food I’ve had. I’m so ecstatic for the owners of Thattu, they’ve truly opened a gem in Chicago and I wish them nothing but success.
Also get the bread pudding and thank me later!!
We are so going back very soon!
