Alright so the food is amazing here. Consistently amazing. Especially the vegetarian one is my absolute favorite. Make sure to watch how to eat Khachapuri because proper way of eating makes it most delicious and fun.Last two times I went, the staff were pretty rude. You don't have to interact with them because ordering is online but when I was waiting for my order (and I wasn't early, the food was just late), they would just stare at me, and made me feel unwelcome. It wasn't anything specific so maybe it was just my imagination :)
These heavenly masterpieces are made fresh to order and are consistently delicious every time. They take a few minutes for bake in the back (the wait is well worth it). They are large enough to share but I have eaten one all to myself and surprisingly, I did not feel overly full. My favorite is the Beef Stroganoff Skalka which equals 100% pure comfort. The atmosphere is clean and simple with counter service and self-seating.
Skalka is such a welcome addition to the neighborhood! I had never tried Georgian food prior to coming here and I was very impressed. The khachapuri is extremely delicious and very filling (I could have used a nap after eating one). Depending on how hungry you are, consider splitting one! The soup dumplings are delicious too and were also a bit of a learning experience (learning how to eat them without making a mess). I've been coming here since they first opened and service has been nothing but friendly, even through the roughest days of the pandemic.
Spectacular comfort food in an airy, light filled space. They have a self serve touchscreen on the counter, with easy DIY options to customize your order, and basically only 5 items on the menu, so ordering is quick and easy.Most of the people in Skalka appeared to order an entire bread boat for themselves. My wife and I each ordered our own, but we probably could have made do splitting just one. The khachapuri is warm, filling, and very tasty, whether plain or embellished with some kind of protein. The globalization of food options has really paid off with Georgian food coming to America.I was not able to find decaf as a coffee option, but that seems to be the case in most Seattle establishments, so it wasn't a surprise.
I had no idea what I was eating and at the same time I knew what I was eating. My first time trying Georgian cuisine and I was not disappointed!When I entered, I didn't see any one available for taking orders. Eventually a big tablet caught my attention and whispered I should order food. Simple menu. Reasonable prices. Contactless Pay. Easy ordering. Not bad. Okay I'm in.Pretty place to eat in. The wait for food took some time but worth the wait. The boat dishes / Khachapuri enclosed a collection of ingredients ready for dipping the bread. Each piece inside this container graciously called me and asked, are you ready to eat? My stomach could not handle the large portion size.Clean bathrooms too. They care :)
Very nice food and ambience
Be prepared for a 15-20 minute wait on food but it's worth it! The boats are delicious. I enjoyed a Stroganoff boat with 1 yolk and extra pickles. My companion enjoyed the veggie boat. Coffee was good but no option for cream. Still, amazing location and definitely worth trying if you've never had this Georgian delicacy.
Found this place after picking up my friends from the airport on our trip last spring and it was AMAZING! The interior is cute and cozy and though they were pretty busy when we showed up (it was probably around peak lunch-time-ish) we were seated pretty quickly. For never having Georgian food, I can't say I have a standard/frame of reference but our meal was great! My friends and I sampled two dishes and they were both delicious. Service was great and efficient -- would definitely be coming back here the next time I'm in town!
My family and I experienced this fantastic restaurant last month. We ordered chicken khachapuri and enjoyed it until the last bite. Kids had a lot of fun eating soft, cheese-filled bread boat with chicken in it while watching the Seattle Great Wheel (a giant Ferris wheel at Pier 37) from inside the restaurant. I like Seattle's Soda too!I wish they could add more menu items in the future. I can't wait to visit again ?
Walked all the way to have this khachapuri. Totally worth it, loved how dough was super fresh and crunchy and the fillings were super tasty.Service was pretty fast. Located near a pier and the view is splendid.Price is also great and size is large enough for one person, we got one chicken and one veggie, both were super tasty.
