What an incredible weekend celebrating Vishu with a Sadya at wls client, 🥰

Vishu, the traditional Malayalam New Year festival celebrated in Kerala, was extra-special at Thattu as they head into their 3 year anniversary in Avondale this week. And what better way to celebrate an anniversary with delicious jackfruit ghee cake made by their friend, Taz 🎂

Thank you + for welcoming + me to celebrate with you 🥹

If you haven’t made it to Thattu for dinner yet, consider this your sign! Chef and her team are serving up a love letter to southwest Indian coastal cuisine, and it’s something you don’t want to miss 💌🍽️
