Best Date Night Restaurants in Portage Park

We went for brunch on Sunday and it was a total vibe. It was a bit loud but not deafening but it made sense since the DJ was playing really well and everyone was enjoying the experience. Our server Gino was awesome even though it was VERY PEAK BRUNCH TIME busy. Will definitely be back again (this time maybe a little later for dinner or earlier brunch time 😂).

Service is always impeccable and quick. On this visit, we were provided a complimentary taste of an umeboshi digestif and a N/A Arnold Palmer-type digestif. That made this visit extra special. December special was especially delicious!

Outstanding meal and terrific dishes . Been to Thattu, a few times and note the progress over the years. Reservation made earlier in the day guaranteed us no wait. Alcohol is available with a native twist to the traditional cocktails. Food, Made ideally for the South Indian palate but not too spicy for the average palate and food similar enough to the East African and Caribbean dishes. The menu changes regularly but standard dishes like fried chicken, biryani, and unique fair like Appams(flat leavened pancakes) are absolutely delicious. The thali meals wand vegetarian sides are delicately made. Dessert was a a fried jackfruit cake and and payasam. Both exquisite. Tips built in and shared equally by all the staff. Ambiance is one of a casual restaurant with no airs. Simply laid out large dining room and very attentive staff . All orders are placed on individual phones and the tab can be kept open till the meal is done and gone. Service was quick. Street parking can sometimes be a challenge. A wonderful experience to which we will most certainly return.

Everything about this place is amazing. Perfect place for celebrations or just a date with your love one.

Outstanding food and service. Will be back ASAP. Do not skip the Foccacia di Recco!
