Great place to get great quality Georgian Adjaruli. I am located on the East Side, but our family loves these boats, so I stop by Skalka and pick up four boats every few weeks. The Adjaruli are best to eat right there at Skalka, but they also heat up great in the oven. Great place and highly recommended. read more

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. read more

So found this place on Yelp. Was looking for a breakfast place near our hotel and this place had over 1000 reviews and 4+ stars. Well we arrived at 1130am and the place was EMPTY! Was a little concerned about this and if the place had only 25 reviews we would have gone someplace else. But we trusted Yelp. Ordered 2 different Kahchapuris: Stroganoff and Lobiani and the were both awesome and huge. Well could have ordered one and split it. Luckily they had takeaway boxes. Super filling because of the dough crust. Really recommend eating in as the dough probably isn't as good when it cools down and hardens (assuming it is like pizza dough crust in that respect). Just a great meal. One note, this is a really "low touch" place. I don't think it is a post-Covid thing. I think the staff doesn't speak a lot of English. So you order on a kiosk and the only time I saw anyone was when they delivered our meals. The place is large, spacious and clean. But if you want "personal" service, you won't get it here. You will get awesome food though. read more

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. read more

Skalka - super delicious - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Seattle, Washington

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! read more

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. read more

Skalka - Chicken boat (wooow the cheese has such a silky-milky taste!!) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Seattle, Washington

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. read more

I have had my eye on this place for months now! So happy to finally have tried the food here and it sure did meet expectations. Photos always look delicious and yes it was! It smelled so yummy as soon as we walked in the door. You order on a tablet yourself and do bus your own table fyi. It was very clean, bright, and modern inside. Perfect spot for a solo bite to eat (lots of people alone dining in and enjoying) or stop by for a chat and to share. Other reviews mention the boat is enough to feed two people and that was correct. My man and I shared the Beef Stroganoff and it was delicious and huge. You wait a bit as every boat is hand stretched and baked to order which I don't mind as it was hot, fresh, and yummy. My favorite part was the egg yolk and cheese so I would definitely try the adjaruli next time. Also the pickles were delish and they did not skimp...so yummy! We agreed the meal was so enjoyable we would return. A filling breakfast option or yummy brunch to share! :) read more

Tried the chicken khachapuri and honestly, for almost $20, I expected more. The portion size was disappointing -- didn't feel worth the price at all. The ordering process is fully self-serve kiosk, which is fine, but then they still ask for a tip at checkout. A tip for what exactly? You did everything yourself. It's a one-person operation, so service is basically nonexistent. On the positive side, the restroom was clean and the place has a cool vibe. It's worth trying once if you're curious about Georgian food, but I personally wouldn't go back. Not enough value for the money. read more

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. read more

Cons: - Sauces are premixed, so there is no customization with the food options IG: AndTheNextAdventureBegins read more

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 read more

I've had this place on my list for the longest time because of their traditional Georgian khachapuri cheese breads that have been making rounds on my Yelp feeds. I tried this with a friend visiting from LA at almost 12pm on a Sunday, and all dine-in seating was already full. There are a ton of tables for 1-2 people scattered around the perimeter, with only a few seating larger groups. The server at the immediate front was very helpful in giving his recommendations and telling us the ingredients for them. You place your orders at a kiosk and can see detailed photos of each item. Since we chose to dine in, we had to wait a bit for a table, and there isn't any dedicated list for those who came in first and want to dine in as well, so we almost had a group of people who ordered 10 minutes after us snag an empty table before we could. This affected our pre dine-in experience since we had to speak up about this and people weren't leaving their tables anytime soon, but there were a lot of people for staff to keep track of. Water, forks, napkins, sauces and even disposable eating gloves are all self-serve at the front counter to the left of the kiosk as well. Both our khachapuri were awesome overall and took about 20 minutes collectively to come out: - I got their stroganoff khachapuri, which has beef and mushroom with pickles, all in a bed of creamy Adjaruli (molten cheese) and topped with an egg yolk. This is very filling for one person especially with the Adjaruli, and the beef is slightly seasoned though not too much to overpower the rest of the dish. Bread is soft and tender, and held the Adjaruli together well. I used the disposable gloves most of the time to rip some bread and dip it into the Adjaruli, and wow is the whole khachapuri a lot already! - Like my khachapuri, the chicken and herbs in my friend's chicken khachapuri wasn't seasoned a whole bunch but pairs well with the Adjaruli. I only had a small bite of the meat here. Overall a pleasant dining experience here with great food that can keep you full for a long time at a decent price too. Definitely gonna try to get their other khachapuri on a future visit! read more

This place is delicious! Me and my girlfriend have never tried Georgian food in general before, and this place was a proper introduction. Ordering is quite easy with the self-serve counter, as well as a little poster telling you how to properly eat the dish you'll be served. The shop itself is really homely ambiance-wise and conveniently located to the waterfront. I got the chicken bowl myself, but I think you can easily get by with the default choice! The cheese/egg combo is amazing, and the bread is easily the star of the show with its rich, full flavor. Highly recommend you check this place out for breakfast! read more

Skalka - Chicken Boat! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Gladly adding to the chorus of rave reviews about Skalka. I enjoyed the "Stroganoff Boat" which is egg, ground beef, cheese, butter, and pickles in a bread boat (Georgian Khachapuri.) I stirred in the egg then ripped off some bread and scooped up the gooey cheesey beefy mixture. It was fantastic. The $17 boat was more than enough food for two people shared, in fact, we couldn't finish it although I kept taking "one more bite!" because it was so tasty. The restaurant is a little bigger than I expected from photos, there are a few tables in the front and a few tables in the back, so getting a seat was no problem. You order at a kiosk (tablet) and listen for your number to be called and I also got a text when my order was ready. They tell you an approximate wait time, and it was pretty accurate for us (15 minutes on a Saturday at almost noon.) You pick up your order at the counter and can get your own water as well, so I'm not sure that you need to tip for self-service like that? The atmosphere was pretty modest in terms of the decor, but I sat in a sunny window with a view of the great wheel, so I really couldn't have been happier. The food was delicious, I couldn't stop talking about it the next day, and I definitely will be back for more! read more

I have never ever had food like this before and it was so delicious. The bread was soft and fresh and tasted so good with the veggies and egg. It was an amazing experience and we all were eating slow because we didn't want it to end. Next time I'm in Seattle, this is the first place I'm coming back to. read more

Ordered the stroganoff and I'll bet it would've been amazing. After waiting for 45 mins I checked to see what was going on with the order. The cashier says I didn't put in the order and I'd know if it went through if I signed my signature on the kiosk. I did. He admitted they don't know what's going on with their system because this happens often and they don't know where the breakdown is in the system. I had to check with my bank to make sure the transaction didn't go through and once that happened I left. Not going through that again. The fact that they knew there was a problem means he should've probably saw the order go through, as he was standing there while I was ordering on the kiosk. If you know there's a problem, then don't rely on the faulty technology and have your employees take the order. So frustrating! read more

Came here on Sunday morning around 10am, and the place filled up pretty quickly. They have a small menu but everything looks great! Portions are generous - one serving is big enough to share between two people if you are planning to snack around pike place market afterward. We got the Stroganoff boat khachapuri which comes with Adjaruli. Mix everything together including the beef, cheese and egg yolk, then dip the soft, golden edge into the filling = pure happiness. Everything is made fresh to order - so expect a 15 min wait, but it's totally worth it! A cozy gem for a satisfying start to your pike place morning! read more

What an interesting place! It's a big Danish with savory or sweet flavors. I did think that it was super rich and a little overwhelming with the butter for me. But we got their original, and it was pretty good. The place was simple and clean. There was no one in the front counter to explain to us what is what. We had to read off of a computer and ordered. I would be back if I was super hungry read more

Delicious food and wonderful natural light in the dining room. Lots of 2-top tables for lunch with a friend or going solo. I don't have anything to compare their food to because this was my first time trying both Georgian and khachapuri. I can confirm that the Adjaruli was wonderful -- not heavy or greasy like I was anticipating. Definitely more than I can eat in one sitting, but they have to-go boxes if you can't finish it there. Ordering was self-service at a touch screen kiosk. There's an employee running the food out and moving drink orders to the pickup area. Seattle soda was good too. Clean, efficient, and relatively quiet for a downtown restaurant. Very happy and will be back. read more

Skalka - Adjaruli. So good! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This was our first meal after touching down in Seattle from our flight. My husband and I were both so hungry and we ordered the chicken boat and stroganoff boat. After eating, we both agreed that one of these cheesy, buttery, egg boats could have easily been shared between the two of us. But omigosh, my stroganoff khachapuri was so delicious. I love how they did half regular cheese and half with the stroganoff as I got to taste both separately. I ended up mixing them together and it was amazing. Whatever cheese and seasoning they use is so flavorful and creamy with a little bit of a cheese pull bite to it. The stroganoff was also seasoned well and has tender mushrooms and meat. The bread was soft and warm on the inside. My only complaint is that the outside of the bread is on the dry side. We used the self-serve tablet at the front to order and didn't really interact with the staff other than them calling out our number for our order. There's a good amount of seating but is a small place. It started picking up after we finished eating. read more

Such comforting food. Perfect for chilly Seattle days. With the bowl being edible it's a perfect meal for one and even enough to share. We ordered and received our food fairly quickly (~15mins). We ordered: Chicken Khachapuri - Bread was super doughy and the overall meal was hearty and cheesy-- carbs and cheese, what's not to love? Stroganoff Khachapuri - Definitely more savory and rich than the chicken khachapuri, but still delicious. Will be coming back again :-) read more

Damn, this was delicious! The bread was yeasty and awesome with a crusty outside and a soft, doughy inside. The gooey egg atop the filling of herby tomato sauce with chicken was divine, but it was the egg and cheese that made it come to life! Really great food brought to me by DoorDash so I did not visit the store. I only wish they had sent napkins and a fork because I was a complete pig and scarfed this up so fast. read more

Skalka - Chicken boat - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I really like the khachaphuri and would love to give this place a five but a few things unfortunately happened that necessitate a lower rating. I went this past Thursday for lunch and got a chicken khachaphuri and it was delicious! But unfortunately I got food poisoning soon after. Like I was shaking and sweating and had to go get some OTC meds . I tried to think of anything else I ate that could have caused it but I can only pinpoint it to the raw egg used in the khachaphuri. There was an egg recall earlier this month due to Salmonella and I wonder if the unfortunately had one of those batches. So if you eat here and don't want to risk it, order no raw egg yolk... Besides that, I really like the dish that they're known for. The bread boat has the perfect texture, airy and slightly chewy crust and crumb with a charred edge, as if you were reading a solid neopolitan pizza crust but thicker and fluffier. The fillings are sometimes an interesting combination but they work. The first time I came here a few months ago I got the veggie khachaphuri which was delicious but omg it was so salty. Thankfully the one I got earlier this week was just right, not too salty (just food poisoning ). Also I think they get so many orders that it takes a long time to get the food. My first time, I ordered in person and it took a little over thirty minutes to receive my order. Second time, I ordered ahead, arrived at the estimated time and still waited 15 minutes. So just a heads up that you shouldn't expect to get in and out quickly here, if you are thinking this will be a quick lunch spot. As for the inside, the space is clean and beautiful and I've never had trouble finding a seat. It's not fancy dining, but comfortable and airy. I really would love to come back but now I'm just a little scared of that egg yolk.... read more

Skalka has been on my to check out list for a long time as it seems like this place has been reviewed by almost everyone here in Seattle. The food from the photos that I have seen from other reviews have been inviting, so I was excited to check this place out! I was nearby in the Pike Place market area on a Friday afternoon and it looked like this restaurant wasn't too busy, so I went in and was able to place my order and get seated immediately. There seems to be a lot of nearby paid street side parking when I visited, which was nice, but I can totally see these spots being filled up during rush hour or any comparable busy times. The ordering was self service - there is a ordering kiosk at the front where you tap what you would like and then a receipt is printed for you. There is probably 15ish tables if I had to estimate the seating, and it is a first come first serve basis. There are water cups and tap to the left of the cash register and there also is a singular bathroom in the back. I would say I got my order about 10 minutes after digitally placing it. I got the Stroganoff boat ($18), which was a lightly fried egg on top of a cheesy crust with stroganoff topped by pickles on the other half. I haven't had Georgian food before, so I was excited to see how unique the khachapuri are. I agree with the other reviewers, I think the best description of the crust would be that it is just a standard oven baked pizza crust. The cheese is indulgent, I personally thought it felt filling at first, but it doesn't feel too bad after finishing the boat. The stroganoff has nice tang to it and the acidity of the pickles on top help complement the cheese on the other half. Overall, I would say that the boat was compact and nicely balanced meal - you could eat it on the go, but I think it is best eaten at a leisure pace so you compose a bite with everything. In the end, I think that based on price one boat may not be quite enough for one very hungry individual, but would be decent for sharing between multiple with multiple boats - it does feel more like a tapa giving the price of $18. I felt that the meal would have been better for me personally if it came out hotter, as mine came out a bit lukewarm. If I am ever in the area, I would give the other boat a try. read more

I've seen skalka on social media and on food blogs and it looked soooo delicious. I'm so glad I was able to try this place out during my Seattle trip. I've never had khachapuri before and was excited to have this as our brunch. We ordered two but honestly one was probably good enough to share because they're huge! The bread was soft and fresh and I ripped the outside to swirl around and dip into the inside. The servers were friendly and there were plenty of seating when we went. I wish we had this in the Bay Area in CA because I'm craving it right now! read more

Such a great spot for breakfast! Food: This was my first time trying a khachapuri and I really liked it! Everything is made to order and the bread was amazingly fluffy.

Skalka had about 12 tables for folks to sit and eat at. It felt more modern and bright with the goldenrod accent walls. I came in on a Monday morning at 9:03am and was the third person who ordered. I asked the man at the counter what their most popular dish was, and he recommended the Chicken Boat due to the tomato sauce. He also said it was a little bit spicy (it wasn't). Nonetheless, I was glad I ordered it at the kiosk as he suggested. The chicken boat came out pretty quickly. I think it was about a 5-7 minute wait. In terms of the bread boat, it tasted exactly as what you'd expect: tomato-braised strips of chicken with melted cheese and butter and a runny yolk. I chose to break the yolk and mix the entirety of the ingredients to dip my bread. I have no idea if I did it correctly, but the Spirit led the way. The bread was decent -- your typical flour-based carb with some crunch (but not quite enough). It kind of tasted like a standard pizza crust. The cheese and bread were really good! It describe it as a sort of Georgian version pizza, with a focus on the more natural flavors of the ingredients. I thought the tomato sauce was okay. I almost wish it was slightly sweeter or had a bit more herbs and spice. The standard chicken boat wasn't spicy, so I added about two tablespoons of sriracha to the mix. This made it a more appetizing boat of ooey-goodness for a spice-loving Korean American. It's definitely better when hot, and the portion sizes for one boat seem to be better for two not-so-hungry individuals. Overall, I enjoyed my visit to Skalka and would recommend this to the general public. You can't go wrong with cheesy bread and tomato sauce ‍ read more

Khachapuri! I first had this amazing dish in Vancouver, WA, and have been trying to find places to get it again since. Skalka has been on my list for a couple years, but for whatever reason, I never was able to go when in town. But this time I was alone and decided to check it out! I got there right as it opened and had no problem getting in on a Wednesday morning. It took 10-15 minutes so not too bad. Plenty of searing, even if it were busy. The food was amazing. It can be eaten in your own if you have a big appetite, but I was only able to finish half. Delicious and dippable fun! It's worth the visit and a unique breakfast style that breaks away from traditional American-style breakfasts. read more

Definitely worth a try! I was intrigued walking by this place and decided to head in with some friends. I had never had Georgian food nor heard of a khachapuri, but the pictures looked great, and the smell was very enticing. I ordered the chicken option, and it did not disappoint. The bread portion was so soft, fluffy, and went very well with the chicken filling. The chicken ragu was creamy but also had a slight tanginess to it that reminded me a little bit of shakshuka. The space itself is small, with limited street parking nearby. There is a kiosk you can order at and seat yourself while the food is brought to you. There is water station, and you bus your own table when you are done. read more

Just what I needed on a cold winter weekday! We got here at about 9.15am and ordered a spinach khachapuri through the self service kiosk. Found a charming table overlooking the Seattle great wheel and the water. We received our food within 10 mins. The khachapuri was warm and cheesy, the bread was delicious, easy to tear into and dunk into the cheesy spinach. Not overly salted, just right. Easily shareable between 2 for a hearty breakfast/brunch. Super clean and no wait times. Loved the food and would come here again to try the other flavors! read more
