    First time eating this, didn't know how to eat it xD Overall it was pretty good, the beef one had flavor, my favorite, the chicken.. not so much, but it was still enjoyable, something unique to try, stuffed with lotta cheese, maybe it hit differently for me cause I decided to mix the chicken all up together but soon later I found out you was suppose just get lil bit of each with the bread lmao, give it a try though!

    Entrance is not accessible. There are 2 steps, so it was annoying to get in with a stroller. Once inside, there's just a self-serve kiosk. I had ordered and beeped my card only to find out 10-15mins later that my order didn't go through and I had to reorder. It wasn't necessarily anyone's fault, but if you order with a person this doesn't happen. Toilet is broken in restroom. But the FOOD! Was amazing. They serve only one type of dish, which is like a bread boat with cheese inside and or other filling. I got the one with spinach and cheese - it is enough for 2 ppl but I finished it on my own as a very hungry pregnant lady. We also got 2 more to go - one with beans and bacon (Lobiani) and the other with beef stroganoff. Both were delicious, although the beans & bacon one has a bit of spice. I would 100% recommend eating in person though, because everything is perfect and melty when it's fresh.

    Wow after having this spot bookmarked for a few years I'm happy to have finally tried it.....one of the comfiest foods that I've had in the city! I had the chicken boat. Hearty, tasty, not overly greasy/salty at all. The bread is amazingly pillow-soft, and the cheese.....phew suuuper smooth and silky! The chicken with the tomato sauce gives it a savory marinara/shakshouka vibe to it. These boats are made to order; I got my boat about 15 min after ordering. Order at front kiosk. The gentleman who handed the order was all smiles. Small cozy interior. I visited on a Thursday afternoon and it wasn't busy at all.

    One of my favorite places in downtown Seattle to eat. Amazing view of the Seattle Great Wheel while you chat with loved ones and eat a delicious shared meal. Service is kind and restaurant is clean and bright. The food is so amazing and we always get extra pickles and extra yolk! My boyfriend and I really love this place and always find ourselves thinking about it and returning. Definitely recommend Skalka as it never disappoints!

    Adjaruli Boat

    I never tried khachapuri before and I'm really glad I did! This spot is a quick 10 min walk down from Pike's Place and it's quite spacious with several seats. They now do a self serve kiosk with 2 workers. Tbh it was a bit unclear if this was a self serve or they would come to you, but it was definitely more casual dining. - Adjatuli Boat (5/5): such an interesting combination of beans, pickled hot pepper (spoicy and sour!) and the cheese and gooey egg yolk. This was around $20 with tax and was definitely enough to eat between 2 people. Great spot- definitely worth a visit!

    Chicken Boat

    We stopped in for a late lunch after walking the Seattle boardwalk. We ordered 2 boats on their iPad and waited about 15 - 20 minutes for our food to be ready. We ordered one of their original boats and chicken one. They arrived piping hot and they were delicious! I have always wanted to try Georgian food and this hit the spot! I'd recommend the chicken one. We'll be back!

    Simple flavors that pack a punch! I mean, how can you go wrong with bread, cheese, and egg? I got the beef stroganoff khachapuri which I enjoyed. The balance between the creaminess of the stroganoff and the pickles was good as well. The size is good to split between two people. The store is bright and clean with tables inside. You order by tablet and the khachapuri takes a bit of time to be prepared.

    We swung by Skalka on a Christmas morning since this was one of the few places that were open. Overall, the ambience was very casual but clean. We didn't see anyone at the reception so we decided to order at the kiosk and seated ourselves. Later, someone came to greet us and informed that our order would take around 15 mins. We were a huge party so we were surprised that we got our order so early, especially on a Christmas morning. The food came in piping hot. We got khachapuris (both veg and meat versions). The bread of the khachapuri was so fresh and soft. The filling was stuffed and very delicious too. The veg version wasn't that flavorful but the meat versions were really tasty.

    This place was open on the holidays. Pretty good khachapuri, not the best one I've had but still very good. One order of this is quite a lot of food. Enough for two people. There wasn't a very large drink selection so we just started our morning with some hot tea. The staff there were very nice. A moderate amount of seating.

    Ariadna S.

    I've been to this place at least once every time I go to Seattle! I really like the beef stroganoff khachapuri, it's basically what I get every time. So we did this time plus some hot teas! Although it's a self service to order and pay,I noticed how friendly the staff was. The restaurant is pretty casual and quiet most of times I've been there.

    We came to Skalka to try their Adjaruli khachapuri, and it was really good -- fresh, tasty, and definitely worth trying. The cafe itself is modern, stylish, and very clean, even the restroom. They also use self-checkout, which makes ordering easy and convenient. The only thing I missed was fresh espresso-based coffee. They only had brewed coffee, which I don't really drink. It would be nice to have a real latte or cappuccino with their khachapuri.

    First-time trying Georgian bread (~$18) and I loved it! You're supposed to mix the egg yolk and the cheese together first and then peel the bread to eat with the filling inside. Such a delicious and cool concept! Lobiani Boat - 4/5 I thought the banana pepprrs were too overwhelming and they didn't give enough bacon Stroganoff Boat - 5/5 delicious! The vibes in here are super cute and I love the aesthetic! There's lots of seating too. Cost is on the pricier side, but definitely worth it to try. I'd definitely come back

    super delicious
    Sheree Ann E.

    Stopped by here last Sunday for brunch with my daughter. Food was amazing. We had the Stroganoff with an extra yolk. It was very good, I don't like mushroom but I ate it up. If you haven't tried this place, you're missing out. Service was good, they were very nice and helpful. I want to note that I think each dish is baked in a batch so expect to wait a little longer than normal but well worth it.

    Scooping up the ooey gooey beefy cheesiness on the bread, yum!

    Good, tasteful, cultural food. However, could be priced a little cheaper as only upper class would be able to afford.

    Ask the Community - Skalka

    What do you replace the egg and cheese and butter with to make the veggie boat vegan? We don't care if it is gluten-free, that has absolutely nothing to do with it being vegan.

    We don't have vegan options. Milk and eggs are in the dough. At this point, we don't make gluten-free or vegan dough.

    What are the delivery details?

    You can find us on UberEats, Grubhub and DoorDash!

    Looks amazing. Safe for peanut allergy?

    We do not have peanuts in our bakery.

    Do you offer dine-in tables?

    Yes, we do! No reservations, first-come, first-serve.

    Do they require proof of vaccination?

    Yes

    Is it possible to eat here with a dairy allergy?

    No, because we use dairy to make our dough.

    Do they take weekend reservations?

    They did not have reservations available when I went. It's a small restaurant and gets packed quickly, your best bet is to get there 10-15 mins before opening if you can.

    What happened to the closed cheese pizzas? Not seeing them on the menu for takeout.

    They updated their menu (received tecent email) to focus on the egg boats. Dumplings are available via pop ups. I think they halted the Imerulis you mentioned. You can call or email directly to be sure. (5/9/21)

    Are there any vegan options? What is in the dough?

    Dough has milk and eggs. We have vegan fillings, but we make all boats with same dough as of April 2021.

    Looks delicious! Any gluten free options? Thanks!

    Possibly soup or stuffed eggplant, but it's pretty bread-centric.

    Is there any lunch specials?

    Yes! We have beef soup + house bread ($8.5), Georgian salad + 2pc badrijani + house bread ($11), and 4pc beef khinkali ($9). Available on weekdays 12pm-2pm.

We came in around 1:45pmish and it wasn't crowded. They had an amazing selection of pastries, though I didn't try any. I got their Caramelized Banana Latte to satisfy my sweet tooth, and it wasn't too banana-flavored nor too sweet; the black sesame in it balanced it nicely. I also got the Urban Pesto, which was SO yum. I was little skeptical of the focaccia - sometimes I find it to be too puffy, and thus hard to eat the sandwich - but this had a lovely panini press on it that made it easy to eat. The in-house herby cheese in the sandwich made each bite just that much more delicious. The staff was also super nice and accommodating to my parents' requests and questions.

Tempting pastry case with savory and sweet choices, the usual bevs, as well as, cocktails. Vibrant place to visit solo or meetups with others. The 16oz iced mokka (mocha) I had was well crafted. Both counter folks were personable and welcoming. I was able to sit at a two top and remain cool during my brief visit on that hot Tuesday early afternoon.

It's bright, yellow and welcoming, and that same playful energy carries through the space and menu.

Bright, refreshing, made with real lychee and dangerously drinkable. I would come back for that alone. The matcha itself was okay, but in a city with so many really good matcha options, it didn't stand out quite as much for me. Some of the flavor profiles could use a little more R&D to really bring them together, but the concepts are creative and there's plenty on the menu I'd come back to explore. What made our visit especially memorable was getting to spend some time with the owner, James, who walked us through the story and vision behind Junbi Seattle. You can tell there's genuine thought and enthusiasm behind what they're building, and the hospitality throughout our visit reflected that. The mango series? That's where they got me.
