Fantastic food Great service. I had called the restaurant about handicap accomodations. He kept a table that made me sit comfortably. Vinod owns the restaurant. He treats everyone with kindness. Will go again. Mrs.B?
Just had an amazing lunch at Thalaiva’s! The thali was delicious, packed with flavors, and the variety was perfect. The restaurant’s interior is beautiful. Everything was excellent, from the warm service to the artistic décor. Highly recommend! 🍽️✨
Delicious south India dishes, I highly recommend! Had our team appreciation dinner here and the food did not disappoint! Great service as well; friendly and attentive 😀

Thalaiva's Indian Kitchen serves authentic Tamil cuisine that tastes like home. The menu features popular dishes like Chicken Bryani Dum, Butter Chicken, Butter Dosa, and Masala Dosa, all cooked to perfection. Recently, the restaurant has consolidated its offerings and introduced special dishes from Kongunaadu, enhancing the variety available. The South Indian dishes, particularly the South Indian Kurma and the vegetarian options like Eggplant and Greengram, are noted for being uniformly tasty and unique with a South Indian touch. The restaurant provides a warm and welcoming atmosphere, with a beautiful interior, cozy outside dining area, and a BYOB policy. The staff, led by Louis Anand, offers exceptional hospitality, ensuring a memorable dining experience. With its delicious food and great service, Thalaiva's Indian Kitchen is a must-visit in Chicago, especially for those seeking great South Indian style coffee served in stainless steel tumblers.
