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.

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 (wooow the cheese has such a silky-milky taste!!)

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.

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.

Great place to get Georgian food! I loved their service, near big seating area, and of course food! The food is big, they food itself was fresh, healthy, and delicious. I highly recommend and would come back!

Beef Stroganoff
Sierra W.

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! :)

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.

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.

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

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.

Chicken Boat
rebecca h.

Four of my favorite things bread, butter, cheese, and egg yolk all in one! If you haven't tried it now is the time, my go tos are the classic or the chicken. You really can't go wrong! It's a self serve kiosk and everything is made to order so expect to wait 15 minutes but it comes out FRESH!

Chicken Boat!
Dylan S.

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!

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

See all

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.

I swear I could eat those every single day if I could. The combo silog was awesome too because you get a little bit of everything, so it's perfect if you wanna try multiple Filipino breakfast staples in one plate. The whole place just felt super homey and comforting. Service was exactly what you'd expect visiting a Filipino household: warm, welcoming, and genuine. You really feel taken care of here.

You order at the front before being seated which means food arrives shortly after sitting down. With that noted, I wouldn't return to wait that long. First visit, to try a relatively famous spot, sure. Inside is a bit tight, but conversation can be had. My friends got the lumpia-silog and bistek-silog. Lumpia was tasty, but not particularly outstanding. Bistek was dry. The beef was tough to chew, seasoned alright on the outside but likely overcooked if not old. I opted for the oxtail silog which was delicious but pricey. Oxtail Silog - for $29, this plate definitely gets a double take. After waiting in the hour line, I figured I should commit for a tasty meal. Oxtail comes in a side bowl alongside a bit of hearty broth which the rice absorbs well. Meat is tender, falls off the bone, but pulling around oxtail bones isn't the simplest, so definitely have to bite around crevices. All in all, this plate was delicious but think it comes with a huge tourist tax I've had better value for oxtail plates. Ube Pancake Stack - four sizeable pancakes. Some pictures, including my own, don't do these justice. I can definitely get behind the hype. They're drenched in a rich ube sauce and there's plenty to go around. Honestly the ube flavor is present on the pancakes, but it feels relatively faint because the sauce is extremely sweet and flavorful, minimizing the pancake taste and expanding the gap between flavors. That being said, I think I would enjoy the pancakes with less sauce (or preferably, on the side).

What a secret gem of a place! Just tucked in from a bustling Denny street!…read more We started out with some cappuccino and iced latte, and they were lovely. They served the coffees with a little shortbread cookie, and these little details really elevated the whole experience. Also, the cappuccino was so foamy, and it hit the spot immediately. The breakfast menu was also fantastic. The TPC Breakfast plate included sausage, potatoes, bacon, bread, and some scrambled eggs. There also was an option to add Beecher's cheese on the eggs, and I'd say it was totally worth it. Most importantly, the Dutch baby was as good as they'd advertised. It comes out on a piping hot skillet which kept the dessert warm till the end of the meal. The service was very quick even though they were entirely booked out for the time we were there for. I appreciated the patience from the servers and their helpful directions in picking the menu items. I will warn you that we had to reserve our spot months in advance. This is probably because the restaurant is great but pretty limited in seating space. However, it was definitely worth the wait, so don't be discouraged. I highly recommend trying it out at least once. All in all, highly recommend! Please go try Tilikum Place Cafe!

The baked eggs, however, were just okay - nothing particularly good. The ambiance was cozy and nice, right in downtown Seattle. However, be prepared: the wait can be long, and once you're done, they'll need the table, as there's usually a line. Overall, it's worth a visit - just make a reservation and come for the Dutch babies. I was told there are seasonal Dutch babies so try again sometime in June maybe.
