Best Vegetarian / Vegan Restaurants in Lakeview / East Lakeview

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.

Our server, Lilly wanted us to have a very good experience. The chef did a phenomenal job of making each dish delicious. It felt like each dish was specially made to order. Unfortunately the hostess had no recommendations for parking. This ended up being a very frustrating situation. I highly recommend you walk or take Uber.

Overall We had a great time (Rum Cocktail) very nice. The Original Hummus was cool, we’ll have to try some different next time! Dinner was Lamb Shank comes with rice which serves two people. Lamb was very dry and not good, we decided to order Lamb kebab which was very tasty definitely brought our spirits up!! Thank you for the amazing service

They had the best holiday decorations! Every inch was covered, so festive!

This is my new favorite restaurant in Chicago. And I’ve brought many non-vegan and non-vegetarians who love it as much as I do simply because the food tastes good! I usually start with bang bang broccoli and add several great rolls for the table. ⭐️✨
