Chicken boat (wooow the cheese has such a silky-milky taste!!)
Gillian A.

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.

Adjaruli Boat
Ingrid C.

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!

super delicious

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.

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!

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.

Beef Stroganoff

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! :)

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.

Temirlan T.

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.

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!

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

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 went on a Saturday, and it was super busy, but I will say the line moved surprisingly fast, which I appreciated. A heads-up if it's your first time: the shop itself is very small, so most of the wait is outside, and they only let about 2-3 people inside at a time. Even with the crowd, the process was efficient, and the staff we interacted with were very nice. We wanted both savory and sweet, so we tried the popular beef & cheese bun, chicken teriyaki, and hazelnut roll. The beef & cheese bun was definitely the best thing we tried. It was warm, flavorful, and reminded me of the filling inside an Asian meat bun, which I enjoyed. The chicken teriyaki was disappointing. It didn't look anything like the photo they advertise, and the flavor was just okay, nothing memorable. The hazelnut roll was decent and not overly sweet, which I liked, but it wasn't something I'd go out of my way for. Overall, I personally think this place is a bit overhyped. The fast-moving line and friendly staff were a plus, and the beef & cheese bun was good, but based on what we tried, I'm not sure it fully lived up to the hype. Still, if you've never had it before, it may be worth trying once since they have plenty of other menu options.

This is a fairly hidden gem restaurant a little bit west of UDistrict, closer to Wallingford. The…read moremenu features a bunch of dishes in Central Asia, with fitchi being the star of the show, as the name of this establishment suggests. Fitchi is a stuffed pastry from Uzbekistan/Turkmenistan, and surprisingly when I googled what fitchi was, there weren't a whole lot of search results, so I am ready for a special culinary adventure! When we arrived, it was 2pm and we got the last table and had to wait for 2 chairs to be unoccupied, since it is a place where you sit anywhere and grab chairs from other tables if you need for larger groups. We got 1 chicken and 1 beef fitchi to share, which was $5.50 each + tax, which is a really good deal considering the size of the fitchi. Food does take a while to get since they make fresh to order, so expect 20-30 minutes wait for the food. It was a bit interesting the fitchi is served with a side of ranch, and the server gave us 2 spoons and 2 knives to eat it. The beef fitchi is amazing - very flavorful and juicy. The chicken fitchi is also good but does not carry the level of seasoning as the beef one, but you should try both. Overall, solid, humble restaurant to check out food that you don't typically see often!

Central Asian cuisine is shared by Uyghur Chinese, Uzbeks, Kyrgyz, Kazakh, and Turkmens. Many famous cuisines, like Turkish, Persian, and Indian, have roots in this region. A warm and passionate lady from Kyrgyzstan runs Fitchi House, recreating the exact dishes she grew up with. No wonder everything is so delicious! I've enjoyed their signature dish, Fitchi (Central Asian meat pie), many times, and it's always a winner! For the first time, I tried three new dishes--and they're all must-tries: Laghman: Hand-pulled noodles topped with fried meat, veggies, and savory stew. Hand pulling the noodles are the real deal--perfectly chewy and complement the toppings beautifully. I totally loved it! Gosh Naan: A deep-fried meat pie, a staple of Uyghur and Kyrgyz cuisine. It's crispy outside, savory inside, and surprisingly not oily. Absolutely delicious. Kazan Kabab: Meat cooked with subtle spices in a special wok called Kazan, served with jasmine rice. It looks simple, but the meat is packed with flavor--an explosion created by subtle spices that pairs perfectly with the jasmine rice. An Uzbek dish, but eaten all over central asia. They also offer a full menu of Italian Pizzas, all Halal--one of the rare places in Seatle serving traditional pizzas ( whereas most places serve Halal Pizza only Indian style) like this. No wonder Central Asians are known for being the world's best bakers! When I asked for their top three dishes, they had a hard time choosing because every dish is a heartfelt recreation of their own kitchen. The inside is small but gives off a homely feeling. If you strike up a chat, you'll feel like you've been invited into a Kyrgyz home kitchen. Truly an amazing addition to Seattle's food scene! Pro Tip: Don't miss their Fitchis and Samsas!
