The restaurant has a nice, open setup with plenty of seating and a convenient phone-based ordering system — a good first impression. As a vegetarian (who don't eat meat but just eggs), the options were limited but expected. We started with the Kappa Bonda, which came as small bite-sized fritters — the portion was tiny but the taste was good. The Kokum Sarbath and Guava Vava drinks, unfortunately, were a big miss. The Kokum one tasted mostly like soda with added color (I actually saw it being mixed), and the guava drink turned out bitter. To balance that, we ordered Kaapi, which wasn't the most authentic filter coffee but decent enough to end on a better note. The main course was the highlight — the Appam and Vegetable Ishtu were excellent together, perfectly cooked and flavorful. We also had Jeera Rice, which paired well with the curry. The meal ended on a sweet note with the Payasam, which was genuinely good but a little bit too sweet for me. If you visit, I'd recommend skipping the drinks and going straight for the Appam + Ishtu combo and finishing with Payasam — that's where the restaurant really shines and would not be heavy on your pockets too.

Delicious Indian food, much more creative and less greasy than typical Indian restaurants. The South Indian dishes in particular were very tasty and very unique. Also, they did a great job with my wife's food allergies. Service was friendly, helpful, responsive, and unobtrusive.

Very authentic taste! Loved every dish we ordered. Kadala Curry with Appam was pure bliss! ♥️
Matthew
Great food and experience. Every dish we had split with the table was a bit different in its own way and delicious. Owners were great to speak with.

Loved the meen pozhichadhu and the chicken starter. The spoce is more americanized. For people wanting to have true spoce u might have to ask for it

Especially loved the dessert (spiced bread pudding) and our salad. As first-time diners here I wish we would have consulted the serving team a bit more on what to order, we probably would have ordered a bit differently. Really like the space!

The service from the staff was actually top notch. I just didn't like ordering from an app. When the wait staff was right there and seem ready to answer any questions.

This was our second time there and we went for lunch this time. The food held up to our memory of it. Everything was wonderful, just as we expected. However, the service was a bit spotty. They seemed short staffed. We were told when we were seated that at lunch we need to help ourselves to water and such. But it turned out that we had to help ourselves to all our tableware. We had taken our family visiting for the long weekend to the restaurant and everyone picked up something for the table, so it wasn't that we couldn't do it. But it would have been nice to know that it was semi-cafeteria style service for lunch.

Thattu has always been excellent. We done here often and love every dish. You can never go wrong with their menu selections.

Because of the way the ordering system is, I didn't feel like the service staff deserved a large tip. I purposely only tipped $5 because everything is so automated and efficient...
Thattu is a favorite Indian restaurant My only two issues: 1) the app to order food is awkward for ordering for four people- that's why we switched to a very nice waitress 2) the noise level is high. With concrete floors, and masonry walls there really is nothing in the restaurant to dampen the sound level. This could be fixed.

Wonderful experience as usual at thattu both from a quality and presentation of food as well as a service and ambience perspective.

The food is overrated - none of dishes were amazing. Prices are reasonable but portions are small. Service was good - waitresses were cordial. But ordering from app is a pain. One good thing was that there are no mandatory TIP - service people paid through profit sharing.

Three of us celebrated a birthday yesterday and we were not disappointed! Thattu has wonderful food. Although I'm not very familiar with Indian food, the servers were very helpful and all our picks were excellent! The mushroom appetizer was superb as was the pork chop dish. We had excellent cocktails with interesting twists. The service staff was superbly helpful and informative, especially as they “tried” to instruct us on the smart phone use for ordering. It was clunky, but we all used humor to get through it! Will be back!

They were locked in on flavor, really recommend the mushrooms and shrimp dishes. Pork chop was okay, would recommend the curry instead
