Pretty good place! I'd say kinda small portions so be sure to get a few things to share if going as a group. We got the paneer kati rolls and a chaat to share. Also got the mango ice cream which was so delish! Good amount of seating but could see it getting packed with a lunch rush so plan accordingly!

I like the chicken tikka roll, has a good amount of chicken and sauce. Service was great and food came out within 5-10mins. The decor here is very cute too.

Spicewala Restaurant Capitol Hill Modern Indian flavors with a bold twist Spicewala delivers an experience that feels fun, upscale, and memorable. Definitely a spot in Capitol Hill for Indian food lovers looking for something unique #doctorshivi

Lamb kati roll, masala fries, Aloo Tikki Chaat
Louise F.

Came here while helping some friends move - and even with all the manual labor, 1 roll was enough to fill me up (and some masala fries, and an aloo tikka chaat). When i took a bite of the masala fries, i thought to myself "ohhh, this is what masala fries are supposed to taste like." Because I've had masala fries, but none nearly as good as this. The lamb kati roll I had was also realllly good. Super drippy and really difficult to keep clean, but really really good.

Aloo Tikki Kathi Roll

A good bite! Prices are so reasonable. Mango lassi is good and only $4! I would come back. Fast service and casual setting.

Spice Waala offers tasty and affordable Indian street food. I also love their mission of supporting the community! I got the chicken tikka roll and aloo tikka chaat -- both were incredibly flavorful, especially the aloo tikka chaat with the potato underneath all the fixings *chefs kiss* Ambiance is pretty casual and it is nice place to just eat and catch up with friends. Service is quick even if it's busy and the workers are helpful if you have any questions. Only downside is there is limited seating and parking in the area if you come during a busy time.

Ordered delivery. It's way too heavy for my personal liking. The filling was a good portion of protein. I did like the wrap

Aloo Tikki Chaat, Chicken Tikka Roll, Lamb Kebab Roll - IG @bougiefoodieboi

I went here for a fairly casual lunch as food comes fast and is very affordable. A kathi roll is $8-8.50, and the snacks are $5.50 each and are fairly sizable. The recommendation is to order 2 rolls or 1 roll and 1 snack for a hungry adult, but I ignored the recommendation and ordered 2 rolls (chicken with egg, and lamb) + 1 snack (aloo tikki chaat) and a mango lassi, all for myself. I was really stuffed at the end, but that was also because this is my only meal I would eat today based on my personal logistics. The chicken tikka kathi roll is really nicely grilled, fairly tender, and the egg soaks up a lot of the chicken tikka flavor so I recommend adding an egg to just one of the rolls. The $1.50 surcharge is okay, but trying it for one roll is more than sufficient. The lamb kebab tikka roll is also good, with a good amount of green chutney that brings forth a slightly sweet flavor. The aloo tikki chaat has a potato patty with yogurt, tamarind, and some crisps, which is a great starter but I enjoyed eating it throughout the meal. It helps cool down with the spice, although the food is not too spicy. The mango lassi is on the thicker side, but can't really complain for $4. It also helps cool down with the spice, and a meal is not really complete without. Overall, I really enjoyed this place and its relatively fast casual format. If I want an affordable and quick meal, I would come back again.

Spice Waala is one of my favorite places to come in Seattle! Prices are affordable, service is quick and friendly, food is always good! The Cap Hill location is nice and has some indoor seating. It's pretty casual and is great for takeout. Food + aloo tikka chaat - fried potato patty is amazing! + chicken tikka roll - very tasty! + masala chai - way better than Starbucks! + mango lassi - creamy and refreshing I've also had their soft serve and that's pretty good as well! Overall a huge fan of Spice Waala!

Lamb Kebab Roll
Shannon K.

Great price and quick service! We came in a Friday around 5. The space to dine in is on the smaller side. It's good for 2 people ideally, but can sit 4 people at one of the tables. For one of the rolls and a mango lasso it was 13.79. The rolls are smaller than a burrito, but pretty filling. I tried both the lamb and the chicken tikka. The flavor was good on the lamb, but I liked the bite of the chicken better than the minced lamb. Both were good though. While the taste was there, I wish there was a bit more freshness to the roll, maybe more sauce or more onions? It was a roll of mostly meat, which to most is probably a good thing. Mango lassi was great and thick, would recommend trying! Overall a place to stop by for good food, just wish there was more freshness to cut through the meat/richness. Looking forward to trying their other menu items! The fries looked amazing

We came on a weekday right when the place opened. Service was quick and food was pretty good. There's bench and table seating inside available but can get full as the place gets busy. It was pretty quiet overall, music playing was chill too. The masala crispy fries were delicious! We asked them not to put the masala on it, but asked for it on the side. If you've had chaat masala, their masala tastes very similar to that. Not bad but we enjoyed the plain crispy fries with the side chutney. The chicken tikka roll was good. Not the best I've had, but overall spices and quantity was good. Prices are pretty decent here for the value!

Jamil R.

We were pleasantly surprised at how good the food was! I wouldn't consider it super authentic, but overall the food is very good. The service is also very friendly, we had a lot of random questions for the cashier and he was happy to answer them all.

Annabel L.

Wow. I will be coming back here over and over again. They are the perfect definition of girl dinner, where you can get a bunch of small bite-size items that are affordable, flavorful, shareable, and not too heavy. They also have a rotating seasonal soft serve, and I just had the lychee flavor which Was so good. I think about it all the time. I can't wait to come back here again.

The lines were mostly reasonable being in the middle of the day. There is a map set up in the intersections. Even though there are only 4 blocks of space, there are PLENTY to choose from. For reasons unknown, Block 1 is the most packed, side-by-side, with food tracks. Coincidentally, I also think this block easily had the best food. Based on the crowded foot traffic, others agreed. The organizers need to spread things out better considering there are space in the other blocks. For the food, we chose: 12 Spice or Indonesian Rendang The mushroom topping over turmeric rice was AMAZING!! For such a seemingly simple dish, the flavor is absolutely incredible. Highly recommend. Cost is $8 Alaska Weathervane Scallops We chose two options - mushroom sauce over rice pilaf and over coleslaw, their salad. They also have a taco option. Rice pilaf is the better option by far. Their coleslaw is not remotely refined enough. The scallops are amazing, though! The entrées at $14 are very reasonable. Taco Bahia We had the Nellie - Grilled Salmon tacos at $14. You can request grilled instead of fried. Definitely a better, healthier option. Took pictures but didn't buy Character Cotton Candy - a bunny! Many people paid $8 for the Instagram photo.

Some grocery stores really stretch the definition of "local" to somehow mean selling fruits from California, but this market enforces a tighter definition of local meaning exclusively from Washington state farmers. The market is well spaced so that while it's busy, you're not packed cheek to jowl, and there's room to form orderly queues. The only downside of this market and the main reason I don't visit more often is that getting here poses some challenges. The light rail doesn't go here (I'm still waiting for a legitimate ETA for the Ballard Link Extension, really, how long can 8 miles take??) and finding parking is a nightmare. The other reason is that I'm always so tempted to over buy the hot foods and bakery goods since everything smells so amazing here!

Subsequently, I lost some interest since I don't live nearby. While I was in Ballard on a recent Sunday, I rushed to the market to see if it was still open. Officially, it was not; they closed at 2pm. But they were still packing up. I believe they are not allowed to sell after the official closing time; I asked one vendor, they declined. The staff wants the streets to reopen as soon as possible. As I walked the two blocks, several vendors still have some items on display on their tables. With a bit of wink, wink, accidentally dropping cash on the table and accidentally taking things off the table, I walked away with goodies. I won't say what I bought to avoid anyone getting into trouble. Street parking was easy enough nearby on a Sunday.
