We were in town this last weekend with Family, and ventured out for breakfast. I am not the one who chose this spot, and frankly, probably would not have based on pictures. Upon walking in, I was a little annoyed at the non existing staffed counter. You order your food by a touch screen. Which seems to me, if you need something to be specific, it can't be. You can't tell a touch screen, what you can tell a human. Not to mention, you are taking away from the interaction with humans, and their jobs. I had a hard time deciding what to order, because the menu didn't look appealing. So I went with the chicken, no egg. Since covid, I have a hard time eating them, and the egg on top really made it look less appetizing. My guy I think is the only one who really thought it was good. Not sure what he ordered. Another had the stroganoff, and like I said, mine was the chicken. It was just okay. I can't see me running back here ever again. The food was weird, and I'm not impressed with the self serve diner idea. read more

Soooo delicious! Excited to have gotten to try a Georgian restaurant in the US! I got the beef one and the veggie. Both were soooo good, but the sauce on the veggie was truly amazing. I would come back and get it without cheese (I'm lactose intolerant) if they would allow the option! I wish there was a little more customization available, but their food is amazing as is! read more

I wanted to try this place for a really long time after, and it didn't disappoint! Super flavorful and the bread was soft and had the perfect chew to it. We had the Lobiani and my wife had the Chicken. Both were amazing! I'm definitely coming back to try different ones, i had my eye on the Beef Stroganoff. read more

I never leave Yelp posts but this place was worth leaving one. I got the beef stroganoff one and it was absolutely delicious! The bread was so soft and nothing lacked flavor. It was delicious from beginning to end. Definitely going back when I visit Seattle again. read more

We got the stroganoff and lobiani boats. Both were good. I preferred the lobiani while the husband preferred stroganoff. I talked to a customer from Georgia while I was there and she said the cheese (only) one is the traditional one she had in Georgia. I liked the food but maybe wouldn't eat there again. read more

Located just outside the hustle and bustle of Pike Place is this tiny restaurant that specializes in Georgian khachapuri and "bread boat," as it is described on the menu. We placed our online order 10 minutes before we arrived, and the khachapuri was ready when we entered the restaurant. Upon opening the pizza box, the presentation of the bread boat was pristine, with the egg, cheese, and meat partitioned off into their own little segment. It almost felt wrong ripping off bits of the bread and mixing the ingredients together, but each dip and bite brought such a myriad of flavors and textures. Even though we only tried one khachapuri, I am ready to try more. If you order online, the process is very quick and easy. The restaurant ambience was very relaxed and was definitely a good pace change from all the lines in Pike Place. read more

I've been meaning to try this place for a while since I live in the neighborhood bc the food looks so tasty and I love trying new cuisine. I ordered takeout and got the Georgian salad, beef khinkali dumplings, and stroganoff puri. I loved the stroganoff - it was delicious and the bread is so chewy and tasty. It wasn't as heavy as I feared-a but creamy and meaty. Definitely will order again. Can't wait to try the cheesy one with runny eggs after I have my baby and can eat raw eggs again!!! I'm no expert in Georgian food but the dumplings were a bit too salty for me. I appreciated the soupiness but it was just so salty when I drank the soup. Maybe I'm just used to the light soup from Chinese soups dumplings. The Georgian salad- I would just skip. The dressing was way too salty. Overall- food was pretty good but I would just stick to the breads/ pastries. read more

I'm super happy Skalka was my introduction to Georgian food. We ordered the chicken boat, which you can do all from a tablet at the front. You can sit anywhere and wait for them to call out your number. The chicken was melt in your mouth, and the cheese is light and almost fluffy. Would definitely recommend sharing since the boats fill you up pretty quickly. read more

The amazing reviews were what drew us to the restaurant, but we were pretty disappointed with our experience. They don't have a physical person who is checking you out, it is all done on a tablet. The person behind us was older and didn't seem to know how to do it all, so asked for help. The worker seemed like they were so annoyed to be helping. The service was also incredibly slow. None of the workers seemed to want to be there. Lastly, the boats were good, but nothing that blew our minds. We wouldn't come back here. read more

It's a casual brunch spot, and the boats are hearty and filling. Think melty cheese, runny egg yolks, and lots of crusty bread soaking up all the juices. The menu is limited and the boats are about 16.75$/piece pretax. It was good, not something I would go back for again. There is self order kisosk, and the server will call out the number for you to pick up. It's a straightforward system. Parking was a little bit of a nightmare on a Saturday bc of its location next to the waterfront. read more

This was the perfect brunch meal to fill us up for the day until dinner. For our quick, 3-day, 2-night trip to Seattle, we hit up this place twice. Once on a whim and then again before we headed out of town. We got the cheese only and the chicken and both were outstanding. Two were plenty to share for 2 adults and 2 teenagers. My only suggestion would be to order ahead. The menu is very limited so it's easy to order ahead. Enjoy! read more

Skalka was started in late 2019 by 2 immigrants from Georgia and Russia with goals of bringing Eastern European food to Seattle. Prior to the pandemic, they served a variety of dishes, but soon converted to just serving khachapuri - a bread boat filled with cheese and yummy goodness. This dish is a staple in Georgia and they definitely pour their heart into perfecting this dish for the Seattle community. Each khachapuri is made to order and they hand make their dough in multiple batches throughout the day (nothing frozen!). If the dough is ready, it can take about 15 minutes to make your khachapuri once you order. However on more busy days - it can take about 30 minutes from start to finish. During my visit, I got the chicken & stroganoff boat. I personally loved the chicken because it had tomatoes in the filing. My boyfriend liked the stroganoff that had delicious shredded beef and mushroom filling. The portions were huge and can easily be shared between 2 people. This spot is close to the Seattle waterfront and has a good amount of street parking around it. There are also a ton of seats inside the restaurant, perfect for hanging out with friends and family! read more

I wasn't sure what to expect when walking in here, but decided to give it a try based on all of the decent reviews. We were spending a few days in Seattle and came upon this place as it was close to our hotel and Pike's Market. We shared the regular version and it was enough to feed two people. It came out piping hot and was so good with the blend of cheese, bread, and yolky egg. This was such a unique breakfast and something I wish I could find closer to home! read more

Came for dinner around 6pm on a Friday and it was essentially empty, good way to beat the crowds if you happen to be in the area (and also are looking for a bite near Pike Place after everything closes). They do say to wait about 15-20 mins and I would say 15 was about accurate. I liked the veggie boat a lot, though as a meat lover I would try one of the meat ones instead next time haha. read more

Exactly I want leave 5 with minus because this not exactly original recipe,need more cheese. But everything else is good,fresh and tasty. Me and my husband ordered with chicken,is soo delicious,crispy. Bad you can't pay cash but good is you can order it's your self,because works not friendly. And need waiting approximately 15-20 minutes but is good because they cook when you ordered not from microwave. I am recommend this place. Definitely come back. read more

Cute little place walking distance from Pike Place market. The concept is cool, hand made Georgian food which include bread boats filled with veggie or meat curries and side of scrambled and fried egg. Everything tasted great however I would say it's a bit on the expensive side. $18 for a bread boat for one person is a lot but I guess kind of the norm for downtown touristy Seattle? You order on the self order kiosk and wait for your number to be called. There's no service or server so you walk up to pick up your food when it's ready. Took about 15-20 min for our food to be ready, presumably because they were making it fresh? Or so the sign said. It was cool to try but wouldn't return. read more

This spot has clearly mastered the art of making something that's as light and fluffy as it is bready and cheesy. Its Khachapuri (dubbed "Bread Boat") is a Georgian specialty that's perfect if you're craving something wholesome on a cold day. My friend and I popped in here for a late lunch to escape the rain last weekend, and we had the store to ourselves at 4 pm. We used the virtual kiosk to order a Veggie Boat to share. While the Khachapuri is baked-to-order, they'll politely decline any adjustments. So we couldn't get away with adding pickled chillies to our order. Once I tried the Veggie Boat in all its glory, I quickly realized I wouldn't want it any other way. While we mixed the egg yolk and butter with the cheese, we kept the eggplant-tomato mixture alone to enjoy it separately. Both fillings were savory and flavorful. The bread itself was airy and steamy beyond belief. The store itself was a cute, tidy space. Georgia-inspired trinkets and decor dotted the cashier's counter, while plenty of disposable utensils and napkins were posted at each table. I do wish they offered disposable knives, since breaking apart the bread at the base of the fillings was a bit cumbersome with forks alone. I may be staying in Seattle for a short time, but this was a memorable meal that I'd recommend to locals and visitors alike. So good! read more

I've been to Seattle for over a year and I finally get to try this place. We ordered the stroganoff boat by accident (we intended to get the chicken one). It turned out good anyway. The dough was soft I almost felt like having a good naan. The stuffing was creamy and packed with cheese. How to eat it like a pro: get a piece of dough and dip in the yoke then put some stuffing on top of it with a fork. Finally shove it in one bite. I can't wait to go back and try the chicken boat. read more

We found this cool spot on our trip to Seattle. Really good food reminds me of back home. It was quick and easy.

Skalka was our first stop after dropping our bags off at the hotel. My girlfriend found this place on Google and it looked very unique so we had to try it. We were both starving after a long flight and an early morning so we were both eager to try this Georgian cuisine. These "bread boats" are made to order and each item on their small menu is a combination of your choice plus "Adjaruli" which is a cheese casserole thing with an egg in it. We ordered a Chicken and a Stroganoff. The Stroganoff was my favorite because it was a little more interesting than the Chicken, although both were delicious. The pickles were a nice touch! The real standout, however, was the bread boat, which was piping hot and would be great on a cold day. I have a feeling that this food delivers really well. One of these is definitely enough for two people and at $17+, I would just pick one. Another note is that you order from a computer and the wait can be almost 40 minutes. Well worth it in my opinion as you get to try food from a part of the world that rarely gets any gastronomical attention. Bonus points for offering Seattle Soda Co. cans! read more

I love this place! Super unique, since Georgian cuisine is not often represented in American restaurants. Bread boats with meats, cheese, and eggs are so simple, but it all harmonizes wonderfully. I've been twice, once for dine in and once for takeout since it was as too late to sit inside. The seating area is a little small but airy, - I wish they allowed dine in until closing time. The first time I had the beef stroganoff boat, and the second I had the chicken. I prefer the beef, but both were scrumptious. Check it out on your next trip to Pike Place or on the way to the ferries! read more

The khachapuri from Skalka is easily some of the best food I've had in Seattle! I ordered the chicken boat and it was sooooo good. The bread is soft, fluffy, and warm and crispy on the outside. The egg was gooey and melted into the cheese perfectly. It was so hearty and comforting yet vibrant and flavorful, and the chicken was absolutely delicious and so saucy. I will definitely be coming back here if I visit Seattle again! read more

I'm writing a review as I'm currently sitting here and waiting for our food at the restaurant - it's been one hour. Excited to try Georgian food for the first time ever. We ordered 2 bread boats at 10:27am on the self-order kiosk. After finding a table to sit at, we began to notice that several tables (8, to be exact) did not have their food. We began to wonder as our stomachs growled in hunger if this was even a good idea. 11:00am rolls around and an order is finally called, a sign put out on the counter stating there's an hour+ wait with no refunds or returns given, no employees asking if we were ok or to tell us what the hold up is. Every customer seems frustrated. 11:33am our food finally arrives. This is where the second star is awarded. Amazing, hot-out-of-the-oven fresh, and delicious flavors and texture; unsure if it was because of our ravenous stomachs or of its true flavors and authenticity. Nonetheless, it's definitely not worth a second chance going back. read more

Super tasty and unique breakfast experience! I'd never tried Georgian food and my boyfriend was dying to check out this spot. We were not disappointed! My only complaint is that portions were actually far bigger than expected, and we could have easily split one khachapuri between the two of us. Highly recommend filling up here before a stroll through Pike's Market for a perfect Seattle day! read more

Oh my goodness - been wanting to try this place for a while and finally got a chance to during a recent trip to Seattle. Huge portions - one bread boat can easily feed two people. The freshly baked bread boat, ooey-gooey egg yolk, amazing tomato sauce that brings everything together. I got the chicken with red sauce - so delicious One of the best and most different breakfasts I've had in a while. Must try especially if you want lots of carbs and cheese! Great veggie option as well. I recommend taking it to go or eating outside! To avoid the wait, I recommend just ordering ahead for pick-up. read more

Food was wonderful. Everything was delicious but especially the bread. We got the chicken and vegetable boats. It's a cute place, not big but plenty of seating for everyone (at least when we were there) and it's light and cheery - I like the frogs by the window. A few things that were okay - you order from one kiosk so a line quickly forms when someone doesn't know what they want, there is no one at the front to greet you or help if there is an issue, no knives (but there's a sign) and no milk/cream for your coffee (I ordered cream and stevia but didn't get any). The guy that did finally help me out was super nice: Location is convenient but tucked away. We'd come back for the food. read more
