Thalia Spice

The core of the menu at this River West eatery is Thai, but multiple cuisines are represented on the pan-Asian menu. The lineup lists banana blossom salad, chicken makhani (Indian butter chicken), Bangkok-style riverboat noodles, lemon grass-laced clay pot mussels and sea scallops in garlic sauce, plus mainstays like pad Thai and green curry. The 80-seat space is modern Asian  with a soft blue, burgundy and gray color scheme. There's also a sushi bar, offering nigiri, sashimi and maki.
