I have visited Chicago 3 times before for work, and I have tried to book a table in Thattu Chicago with no success. I called them last week to see if there's any opening for Sunday dinner and left a voicemail. To my surprise, they reached out t

I really loved it here! The staff was so kind and it truly cured some of the homesickness I had as Kerala food isn't so common to get :)

I was thrilled to hear that Thattu was finally a restaurant (had frequented their pop-ups many times). Have been a few times and have found the food to be delicious and consistent, delivered straight from the kitchen piping hot. Having been to Keral
Update after owner reply: Understood that it was peak
Update after owner reply: Understood that it was peak time. The issue is communication: no posted notice about reservations, and being turned away with no wait estimate or waitlist after we came via Yelp with a hungry kid. It isn't realistic t
Great spot! Very chill interior and bar setting.
Overall, I really appreciated that the curry was true to south indian style curry, specifically to Kerala. Personally, I could always use more spice with my dishes, but I did enjoy my dinner experience regardless. Our favorites were: prawns dish and
So as a malayalee myself, was expecting a lot.
Maybe should have gone in with more fine dining expectations but it's okay! Got the meen polichatthu - good but not my favorite one. Was super saucy rather than masala-y and fried fish. Sides were yummy. Beef and porotta was my least favorite -
Food was okay but felt overpriced.
They used to employ a no tipping business model as it's already reflected in the menu prices . But went a few weeks ago and not only did price go up, but also they switched back to a tipping model like every restaurant. Unfortunately, they didn&
Average experience overall.
The Appam was way too thick. The goat stew and chicken curry were pretty good

Loved the vibe and menu -- creative but still rooted in familiar South Indian flavors. The Kothu Porotta was the absolute standout for me: spicy, comforting, packed with flavor, and everything I wanted it to be. The Kadala Curry with appam was good -

My husband and I went to dinner at Thattu tonight to celebrate my birthday! We were so excited to try the menu and it did not disappoint in the slightest! The restaurant itself is a really nice space. It's light, there are cool pictures &
Unique cuisine; do not miss
What a superb meal! Keralite cuisine is distinct from what many have experienced of Indian fare. The dishes here were both authentic yet tastefully modern. As a side note, it is also readily apparent that the owners care for their employees (tips are

When people say Indian restaurant it usually doesn't mean
When people say Indian restaurant it usually doesn't mean this type of Indian restaurant. Most of the dishes usually are from the northern regions of India. Thattu on the other hand is a very rare find from the South. Moreover from Kerala itself. A
Tried Thattu recently, and had a great experience.
First loved how you order through the phone makes sense and wonder why more restaurants aren't doing this. The food was good, the porotta and short rib was exceptional. The one thing that was a challenge is the you can't get any extra bread or Appum

We came for lunch and I'm so very sad we were too full to order more. The food and hospitality absolutely live up to all the accolades we have read. Street parking, friendly greeting and easy to order in the QR code app. And even easier to add to y

Too much hype, too little substance
We went there really excited about trying out this place - we were disappointed, to say the least. The coffee was cold -- they did give us a fresh hot cup when we asked. The food is really average .. small bites, high prices. We were asked to move
Unique and Special Indian Cuisine
Unique dishes worth the trip to Avondale. You won't find a traditional Indian offer, which is what makes this place special and a treat.
I actually was disappointed in the restaurant.
It gets fantastic reviews but was underwhelmed. There is zero ambiance- in fact it reminds me of a cafeteria. The food was decent (thats why 3 stars instead of 2. Everything is ordered from your phone- which didn't work for us-- the one wait person

The food was excellent! My favorite were the prawns and the mussels. The mezcal drink had a nice spice. The yucca balls were bright and tasty. We also really liked the online tab and the no tip structure.

Food was ok.
There was a lot of warmth and heat in the dishes and not so much what I would consider flavor. The Kerala fried chicken bites were pretty good and definitely the standout. The kappa bonda fried yucca balls were OK--not a lot of flavor but the onion t
Great food, great service and vibe.
Location is a bit hard to get to but it's worth it. The chicken bites were spectacular. No idea how they got it that crisp without any greasiness at all. And the drinks are super inventive. I had this thing called a Monsoon with mango juice and lime

We went for a lunch date and it didn't quite feel like a date since you get your own silverware and cups, etc. but the food made up for the casual service. We started with crispy chicken bites which were made with dark meat so the exterior was crunch

overall: 3.
5 food: 4 ambience: 2.5 service: 1.5 this was recommended by a number of my Indian friends, and much like my fav spot in the city, Basant, it focuses on a specific cuisine that is not the standard American Indian fare. which i love and appreciate!

Very rarely does a place get 5 stars, in my opinion, but Thattu is such a place. Opened up by a friendly couple, one of the partners is the chef and can be seen serving and picking up plates; arrogance is not something you will find here, not in thei

Low-Key, Good Setting, Excellent Value
Thattu is a keeper -- so say two couples having enjoyed a very pleasant dinner. Sharing the small plates meant tastes all around the varied menu -- exploration encouraged -- and the value is excellent. We'd recently enjoyed a highly stimulating trip
Excellent Indian cuisine!
Great Kerala cuisine! There’s some serious depth to each dish being served and upon leaving I immediately made my next reservation. We tried multiple curries, the beet pastry puff along with a couple desserts and everything was incredibly flavorful
Regional Indian charmer
It took months to get this reservation! We finally got in by accepting a 5:30 pm time slot. When I mentioned this, we were told that lunch reservations (served Friday-Sunday) are easier to get. Thattu is in a repurposed industrial space west of th
Fantastic Kerala restaurant in Chicago
Fantastic atmosphere and amazing food. The Kerala chicken bites are my favorite menu item, but the "chaater tots" made with chaat masala were a revelation. I can't wait to go back and try some of the other dishes. This place and its lovely

New South Indian restaurant in Chicago
Great place! Great atmosphere! Food was delicious. Portion size it small though. But I quite liked the fact that service charge is included and we didn’t need to worry about that. Definitely will go back

Stel, Peter heeft een geweldige ochtend en besluit zijn drie vrienden mee te nemen naar Thattu Chicago om 18:00 uur diezelfde dag.
Hij controleert de website van het restaurant en ziet dat er geen reserveringen beschikbaar zijn. Vervolgens bekijkt hij de Thattu Chicago pagina op AppointmentTrader, maar ontdekt dat er ook geen aanbiedingen van andere gebruikers zijn.
Daar komt het door de community aangedreven biedproces van pas.
Peter kan een bod plaatsen op AppointmentTrader. Dit bod dient als beloning voor ieder communitylid dat helpt om de reservering te regelen. AT stuurt dan notificaties naar ervaren gebruikers die mogelijk kunnen helpen.
Stapsgewijs Proces
1.) Beloning Instellen (Bod)
* AppointmentTrader gebruikt historische data om een redelijk beloningsbedrag aan te bevelen voor het regelen van een reservering – stel, $100.
* Peter wil er graag heen, dus verhoogt hij het bod (de beloning) naar $200.
* Op dit punt bestaat de reservering nog niet.
2.) Een Communitygebruiker Neemt het Bod Op
* DistinguishedTree58, een ervaren AT-gebruiker, heeft veel succes met het regelen van reserveringen en ontvangt weinig terugbetalingsverzoeken. Zij ontvangen een melding van Peter’s bod van $200.
* DistinguishedTree58 neemt het bod op, wat betekent dat zij nu gaan proberen de reservering te regelen.
* Peter kan nu met DistinguishedTree58 overleggen als hij vragen heeft terwijl DistinguishedTree58 het bod probeert te vervullen.
3.) De Reservering Vinden
* DistinguishedTree58 gebruikt nu hun contacten bij Thattu Chicago om de tafel te regelen.
* Als het lukt om de tafel voor vier om 18:00 uur te bemachtigen, krijgt Peter een bevestiging dat de reservering geslaagd is.
* Als DistinguishedTree58 de reservering niet kan regelen, gaat het bod terug in de pool zodat een andere gebruiker het kan proberen.
4.) Betaling & Bescherming
* Zodra de reservering is geregeld, ontvangt DistinguishedTree58 de $200 beloning, die wordt bijgeschreven op het AT-saldo van DistinguishedTree58. Gebruikers beheren hun eigen saldo en kunnen laten uitbetalen via opties zoals bankoverschrijving, PayPal of Zelle.
* Peter kan nu genieten van het diner met zijn vrienden bij Thattu Chicago!
* Zoals bij alle transacties op AT worden geschillen en no-show kosten afgehandeld via het community-gedreven resolutiesysteem van het platform. Gebruikers met een sterke reputatie worden gestimuleerd om biedingen succesvol te vervullen, en communityleden kunnen problemen melden om het vertrouwen in de marktplaats te waarborgen.
