Really great hole in the wall for a quick bite or easy takeout. Small menu with a selection of wraps and small bites. Recommend chicken tikka wrap. We were advised to try the lamb next time. Fries were extremely crunchy and decently seasoned with a great dipping sauce. It was a bit much over time so recommend sharing. Did not care for the paneer wrap. Counter service with good, directional staff. read more

Great Indian baby burritos. The Calcutta style roll is epic. Lamb and chicken are my favorites along with the lager beer

I got the chicken kathi roll with extra egg (Calcutta style) - the chicken was so soft and flavorful, but I wish they used 2 eggs instead of 1 in my roll because I could barely taste it (at first I thought they hadn't put it) and it was not worth the extra dollar. It was on the pricier side considering the quantity but I am aware of how much the owners give back to the community and to their employees so I didn't mind too much. Fast service- I came a bit before close at 8:20 and got my roll in 5 min! Also the decor and seating is cute, not a lot but enough for people to grab a quick bite read more

This place never fails! We have been fans of Spice Waala's Cap Hill location since they've opened and it's been so great to see the owner's dream blossom into a booming restaurant with two locations. BONUS, they now have soft serve! The flavor at our location was Fennel. This place is a great spot for a quick lunch or dinner that spices things up! We ordered 4 rolls and a snack, and it was ready in five minutes. They pack the rolls tightly in aluminum foil and pack ingredients of the chaat separately so nothing spills and everything is warm upon arrival home. I had a cold and the bursts of flavors opened my senses! It's definitely on the spicy side and not for the faint of heart!! Usually 2 rolls or 1 roll & chaat is very filling for one person for a great price. The best part of this restaurant is that not only are they making good food, they are serving the company. One of the co-founders is a social work prof @ UW. They donate hundreds of lbs of rice to Asian dominant food pantry's, healthy school lunches & summer meal packs to low income students, and snacks for hundreds of LGBTQ+ homeless youth. Knowing this makes the food taste even better!! read more

I recently ordered food delivery from this place today. I got an aloo roll and chicken roll. Although the filling had a decent taste, the paratha used for the roll wasn't good. It was sort of soggy and burnt. It tasted like soggy cardboard. The roll was lacking in sauce and veggie toppings inside. I wouldn't come back here again and wouldn't recommend this place. read more

I've never had Indian fast food and it was so good. The flavors were so unique! I was surprised how much meat I got in the wrap for the price. Very affordable and great quality. read more

This place is so good and super reasonably priced! I work and live in Capitol Hill and finding a good lunch spot that is close enough as well as cheap enough to justify for lunch while being super delicious can be so hard and I think I've found my new favourite spot! Thank you so much!! read more

The staff at the capitol hill location are always so kind. They were super busy tonight and accidentally forgot a part of my order. When I realized, I headed back -- they remembered me, immediately made the missing part on the spot, and gave me a complimentary mango lassi for my trouble. Always impressed with service and food!! read more

Great place to stop for a quick, affordable lunch! My friend and I both got the paneer kathi rolls which were delicious. The flavors were definitely on the milder side so I would love to try a spicier or bolder option next time. We split the tikki aloo chaat. It was my first time trying this dish and I loved it! It's a good balance of savory and sweet. Next time I'm going to try their mango lassi. Service was quick. It's counter service so you order me grab a table. We got there on a Friday around noon and it was still fairly empty. read more

Limited seating (4 parties) Fast service Plant/indian art decoration Spiced food. Chicken tikka roll was all right to me, and enjoyed by my companion who appreciated that it wasn't sweet or bright orange. Lamb kebab roll had the gamey-ness of the lamb to me, my companion liked the roti/wrap. The chickpea salad had spice too. Fresh. (Personal preference- wish there was a bit more green to their food). Normally not a big fries person, fries were my favorite part. Spice, crunch, and went well with chutney which tasted fresh. Lassi is relatively thick. My companion would come back here again. read more

Spice Waala - Chicken Tikka Roll, Lamb Kebab Roll, Chana Chaat Masala Aloo - Indian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I'm generally a big fan of street foods. With the high ratings of Spice Waala, I was very much looking forward to try it. Alas, I was underwhelmed. We bought two of the kathi rolls - a chicken tikka and a lamb kebab. They are like mini meat only burritos - no veggies, no other carbohydrates, just the meat and wrap. Their size is surprisingly small, about the length of a sharpie, and the girth of 4? sharpie's tied together. If I was hungry, I can eat one in 3 or 4 bites. It's better to think of their menu items as snack size; get two items if you want a meal size. Chicken tikka kathi roll - $7 - 3.5 Stars This eatery's tagline is that it's authentic Indian street food. It's meat in a wrap. The saving grace is the seasonings. The chicken tikka seasonings came across better and was more flavorful. The $7 price is "ok", not great, not a deal either. The meat seems good. Lamb kebab kathi roll - $8 - 2 Stars The meat in this roll was less flavorful than the chicken tikka. Sad. It's even more "hunk of meat in a wrap" than the chicken. There's a bit of green on the wrap though, maybe chutney? I can't tell. Anyway, the meat is a tad gamey. It's a dollar more too. I don't recommend this one. I ordered online while they were closed midday. They re-open at 5, and my food was ready at 5:11pm. Emails, texts, the process was easy. For pickup, just gave them my name, and I'm handed a bag. Simple and straightforward. Lots of people were coming in and out. Edit: Reducing by 1 Star for condescending reply from the business owner read more

We ordered 1) aloo tikki chat - did not have much spice or chat - would rate 2 on 5 2) bhel puri - taste was very bad - 2 on 5 3) paneer Kathi roll - mediocre - 3.5 on 5 I would not go back there read more

An awesome option for fast casual food in Cap Hill! Spice Waala is known for their delicious roti rolls of lots of varieties. The restaurant is an unassuming tiny door that you could easily miss from the street, but the indoor space is actually pretty big. Not a ton of indoor seating - maybe 3 tables and a counter. But it seems like they had tons of to-go orders coming through the whole time. I tried the lamb, chicken tikka, and paneer and all were delicious! The roti rolls are $7-8 each - I would probably need two to be full. The mango lassi was yummy but a little smaller than I was expecting. I'd definitely come back for the lamb and chicken rolls! read more

Spice waala is one of seattles hidden gems in my opinion. I needed that. The interior, meh, I had to walk up a partial flight of stairs. Gave me Vibes like I was I'm a cave or something. I couldn't imagine trying to eat inside for a fun date or anything, but it's clean and inviting. The workers are nice and described the food very well. The Food, OMG yes, I need more. This is one of those places that end up throwing in the rotation for a quick filling meal that won't hurt your pockets. I really felt like I got my monies worth. I ordered the chicken Tikka roll, aloo Tikki chaat, and a Mango lassi. The Lassi was more like a drinkable yogurt and I'm glad I also got a cup of water on the way out. The roll was very small looking but filled with well seasoned and cooked meat. It was so good, but I do think it would be slightly better if the chunks where cut into smaller bits and there was a bit more sauce. I'm a sauce guy so I say that about almost everything I order. The chaat was some sort of a yummy potatoe cake with some amazing side dressings. I used the extra dressings on my roll and it made my tongue sing. I'm currently craving another one I hope this place sticks around. Maybe they can add Indian tacos to the menu one day. A taco truck used to make India tacos in the chaz area back in the day. I've missed them ever since. I used to go out of my way for that food truck. read more

I love this place for great, reasonably priced, delicious food. I get the chicken and the paneer wrap regularly. BUT, today both was overly sour. I also saw different folks prepping food. Hope it's back to what I liked the MANY times before! read more

I was craving some good Indian food and found the Spice Walla location in Capitol Hill. They are mostly a to-go restaurant with a few tables. The menu is short, so it was easy to decide what we wanted. We got one chicken tikka kathi roll each and one aloo tikki chaat. We also opted to add an egg to the rolls. The food was super tasty. The chaat was probably the best I've had in US. Would definitely visit again! read more

I got the Chicken Tikka Roll ($7) and Chai Tea ($3). Both items were good -- smaller than I thought (and they didn't accept the Yelp check-in that still pops up because of a Yelp glitch). But, sizes and glitch aside, the roll was tasty and used good cuts of meat: 5-stars on flavor with a spicy kick for the roll, and once I got my sugar in, the tea was a good solid 4-stars -- spiced better and smoother than most places (but could be 2-3x as strong; I like things spicy!). Needs a better to-go cup though; mine was leaking through the lid and burning me (and losing valuable tea!). Bring your own to-go cup. Bottom line: They make tasty food, and yet it's hard not to compare pricing to a place like Chipotle that'll give you a burrito the size of your forearm for the same amount of money. But, the proper comparison is probably a place more like Paseo's that serves up a $14 sandwich from behind a takeout counter. Split it in half and you'd leave hungry there, too. read more

FYI: The Yelp check in is NOT accepted anymore. I love authentic snack-y Indian food (oops sorry!! Not indian fusion apparently) and I was so excited to try this place (after trying Roll Pod in Bellevue which is INCREDIBLE). The rolls are SMALL ($7-8 each which is a tad pricey), 2 or 3 probably make a meal. The wrap is very thin. Ordered the Paneer and chicken tikka wrap. Paneer was crumbly and light (reminded me of tofu). Chicken tikka wrap - flavor was pretty good. Mango Lassi ($3) was thick and delicious and fresh, also small. The rolls don't come with sauce or chutney or anything, would have been great if they did. Ordered online and the food was prepared quickly! Service was very friendly. read more

Spice Waala - Paneer Masala Kathi Roll, Chicken Tikka Kathi Roll ($7 each) - Indian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Taste is there. People are friendly. But portions are small for the amount you pay for. I wonder if they thought of making it a little thicker like a burrito. The chicken had a kick. The lychee ice cream was interesting. Perfect after a spicy wrap. Not sure if I would come again, wish it was more worth its price. But I like the vibe of the place. read more

I was pretty skeptical coming here because I was unsure if it was authentic. However from the moment you walk in to the restaurant, you get hit with a familiar nostalgic smell so you know it's going to be good. The rolls were STUFFED with meat and everything was super affordable. For the amount of meat they give you, I'm quite surprised it manages to stay at its price. Here's what we got: 1. Lamb Kabob roll 4/5 The entire roll was stuffed with meat. The lamb was very well seasoned but it is slightly gamey. 2. Paneer Burji Roll 5/5 This roll was super flavourful with a lot of green peppers. 3. Mango Lassi 5/5 Thick and delicious, I wouldn't recommend making this your primary beverage, you should definitely also bring water for the rest of the food. This is more like a desert beverage. 4. Chaat Papdi 5/5 Super cute little card that comes with it to explain how to prepare it! It comes disassembled which is great so it doesn't become soggy. The papdi itself was so fresh, it almost seems store made. 5. Masala Aloo 4/5 For $3.50 they give so many along with a great spicy chutney. There's a some seating inside, no outdoor seating. However nearby there's a couple of benches and volunteer park is also close by. Overall if you're looking for some comfortable Indian street food, this is a great option. Nothing was too greasy, nice flavours and really nostalgic. read more

This place is awesome and everyone should try it. Loved the variety of items available. Individual portions are small but the price is right and actually it makes it more fun to try many things at once. Chicken Tikka Kathi Roll (5/5) - flavor bomb of juicy chicken in nice chewy flatbread Masala Aloo (4/5) - the fries themselves were good though not too out of the ordinary BUT the chutney is excellent Bhel Puri (4.5/5) - this was really great. I loved the texture of the rice puff and the tangy sauce was delightful Chana Chaat (4.5/5) - chickpea salad, really surprised how much I enjoyed this as well. Sweet, tangy, flavorful Mango Laasi (4/5) - also great. A little on the thick side so I still needed water on the side Overall a truly wonderful experience. The spices were superb and everything together was perfectly balanced between fat/greasy with brightness, tangyness. Just sad I was too full to try the ice cream. read more

Spice Waala - Chicken Kathi roll and Aloo Tikki Chaat - Indian Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Indian chaat place in Seattle!! How could we not try it? It is a relatively small joint with limited seating. We went on a weekday so were lucky to find a spot. It was very clean and the staff was wearing masks and they served in disposable containers probably due the Covid situation. We ordered almost everything vegetarian on the menu - fries, rolls, chaats and chai. We loved the masala aloo aka potato fries. They had been nicely tossed in masalas and along with hot chai it made a perfect combo in the rainy weather. The aloo roll and paneer rolls were average but filling. I preferred the aloo one. I was not a fan of the paneer texture in the paneer roll. Aloo tikki Chaat and papdi Chaat were amazing! Papdi Chaat being my favorite of the two. I wouldn't mind more of the sweet tangy tamarind chutney on my chaats. Next time, I'll definitely ask for some on the side. We were too full for bhel but will definitely try that on our next visit and update my review. Do give this place a try! read more

Really tasty and affordable Indian street food - if we had more time in Seattle, this place would've made it on my list of repeat places to visit. We tried a few things and they were all delicious - lamb kabab roll, chicken tikka roll, papdi chaat and the bhel puri. There's some indoor seating and a bathroom available if you need to use it. The rolls are a bit small so you may need to eat 2 or get a snack to accompany your roll to make it a meal. If it was just me - my picks would be the lamb kebab roll and the papdi chaat. read more

Very good Kati rolls. We had the chicken tikka masala roll with egg, mango lassi, and the Chana chat. All very good! I'd highly recommend all the items I ate. We didn't have it but the seasonal rose cardamom ice cream also looked amazing. It did look like they had a lot of to go orders so be prepared to stand around waiting for a little bit if you come right before dinner time. read more

Wow I was actually blown away by this place! We had heard great things, and had high expectations. When we first walked in and didn't see many South Asian staff or patrons, I was a bit apprehensive about how authentic it would taste or feel. I WAS WRONG! It's so rare to have this level of quality, taste, mix of spices, and diversity of South Asian snack items on a menu. This is easily the best chaat place around Seattle! I also absolutely love that it offers something beyond the regular North Indian menu of options. We ordered the Aloo Tikki Chaat, Paneer Bhurji Roll, Channa Chaat, Bhel Puri, and stood outside to eat it, just as you would at a roadside stall in India. T'was beautiful :'( An added bonus is the focus on food justice and investing in employees that's clearly front and center. I'm so glad someone recommended Spice waala to us! read more

You must get the soft serve every time. It's always amazing- whatever the new flavor. I love that there's only one flavor at a time- I don't have to choose. And it's always incredible. Okay, there was one time out of like 20 where it wasn't my favorite. But the other 19 times I was calling friends suggesting they get it while they could. Also. The "Indian nachos" are divine. Another must. Must. I also deeply appreciate their community minded donation of meals. read more

At the price point - Spice Waala's target market captures people in the local vicinity that are looking for a budget-friendly lunch/dinner option. At the price point, it is unfair to assume the same standards as a $20-30 meal. The lamb kebob roll was my favorite and while it was satisfying, it wasn't filling so I'd recommend getting 2 rolls. Fries are decent - everyone has their own preferences though. Service is fairly quick, staff are pleasant, and there are a few small tables/benches inside that you can sit at and eat. However, it's a small space so most people tend to just grab a to-go order. read more

This is a yummy option for a quick and comforting bite. Would recommend the chicken tikka kathi roll and lamb kebab roll - and definitely order the extra chutney on the side! The rolls look unassuming - but the *flavor* is there and you won't regret trying them. read more
