    Tri Combo Pod
    Emma S.

    Fast online order and pick up! Fun spot for either a little snack with one roll or a decent meal with the combos! We tried the chicken masala, paneer masala, and achaari aaloo with the mildest spice. It still had a tiny kick to it with mildest! All three were super flavorful but we would rank them as chicken masala first, achaari aaloo, then paneer masala as our least favorite. The achaari aaloo was surprisingly good! Fun place to try at least once!

    Roll Pod is located in Bellevue and they serve mostly Kati rolls. It's a Paratha stuffed with Indian flavored veggies or meat and some chutneys. They have a decent amount of options for vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. I tried the Aloo Gobi. It was too oily for my liking and the Paratha was very thin. Service and ambiance are decent. But I decided to do a takeaway!

    So exited to try The Roll Pod. Love the concept of roti with an egg and delicious Indian fillings! This is a quick fast food place where you order from kiosk, plates & silverware are composable. We got 2 roll pods meals which came with 2 "burritos". Aloo Golbi, chicken Masala and lamb. Roll pod which comes with 2 rolls starts at $14.99. Most of the fillings are a dollar extra and if you want to add an egg it's almost $2. The only down side to this place is that these rolls can add up, although filling, be prepared to spent close to $18-20 per person for 2 pods.

    We have recently tried the Roll Pod. Stopped here totally by accident. The options looked great. A great concept for Indian comfort food. Very balanced Indian food on the go - assembled either in a roll or bowl. The rolls are roti - either plain or layered with pan-fried egg - filled with Indian food - Chicken Masala, Mutton Masala, Paneer Masala, Mushroom Masala, Achaari Aaloo, Aaloo Gobhi Matar and Chana Masala - along with the salad. They are served with chutneys as well. The bowls are typically fried basmati rice with a creamy tomato gravy overlaid with these exotic Indian fillings. You can customize your spice level (1-5) as well. They also offers no-egg options. We tried the Mutton masala, chicken masala and the aloo ghobi matar rolls. They do have a kiosk to place the order. The food was served very quickly. The rolls were really delicious. Though it may look small, but the portion is actually good. One roll may be enough. The tri-pod is a popular option, but that's an overkill. You may not be able to finish all. But if you want to try different rolls, that's a great option. It's a small restaurant, but seems to be popular. While we were dining in, so many customers stopped by to pick up their food. I haven't tried the bowl or the pav bhaji that day. I will definitely go back to try those.

    Order terminal pitching a no longer available discount.

    Butter chicken was pitched in the order terminal with a discount that didn't pop up on checkout. Counter person said discount no longer applied. Tried the butter chicken with rice anyway. Butter chicken was largely flavorless. Music was uncomfortably loud. Rice was pretty good.

    The roles are pretty hardy. I thought I needed two to myself so we got 22 packs each, but really three would've been fine for both of us and we're not super big eaters, but we're not little eaters either. There's not much interaction aside from getting your food. The workers are in the back in the zone. I got the chicken masala and the mushroom masala, and both were really good really saucy and plentiful filling.

    Paneer masala & paneer chili

    I've wanted to try The Roll Pod since they were only a food truck. I never go to SLU during the weekday so I thought it'd never happen...and then I learned they have brick and mortar locations now!! I love going to Garden D'Lights so I decided to stop by here for dinner beforehand. The menu is pretty simple (basically built for a food truck) - roll or bowl - with a variety of fillings to choose from, including several veg*n options. I opted for 2 rolls with paneer masala and paneer chili. While there is a person there to cook the food, you are expected to place your own order through the touch screen or your phone. You also bus your own table if you dine it. Overall rolls were great and I'd 100% eat them again! I paid $1 extra for the chili and I feel it was mostly worth it. 2 rolls was quite filling so good portions there. My dining partner went with a half bowl made with chicken masala. It was very well received and he'd happily get it again.

    Great food. Its the best roll I ever had. I love their paneer schezwan and achari aalo. Even the pav bhaji was very tasty. Service and ambience 10 on 10.

    Ordered a tri-combo roll pod. For each item, you can choose the filling; there are meat or vegetarian options. Order at the counter and find your own table. There were plenty of tables and the restaurant was clean. Staff were friendly and food was ready quickly.

    Tikka masala and two potato based (aloo?) rolls. Mmm
    Zack R.

    Oh man, so good. I've been avoiding this place for too long, worried I'd enter into this tiny strip mall Indian restaurant and be faced with options I don't really understand and no pics. Not at all! First of all, super clean and well spaced interior with colorful fun pics on the walls. Menu is very clear how to order and has pictures of the food. It is fast food style ordering, at the counter where they call your number to pick it up whether you are dine in or to go. I loved the food. I'm a sucker for a good wrap regardless... burritos, zhua Bing wraps, summer rolls, pita, and now roll pod. The primary food is roti (thin chewy-ish pancake) with a fried egg, salad, sauce, and your choice of filling stuffed inside. They have several meat and many veg options. I got a trio of chicken Tikka, and two aloo (potato, right?) based dishes. Each was unique and each was delicious! I'm definitely going back, but ordering two instead of three to not overeat (again...)

    Been here a couple of times. The food has always been fresh and delicious. Pleasing ambiance top of you decide to dine in. Worth checking out!

    First time here and I was very pleasantly surprised. I got a meatless wrap without the egg. Heatwise, I ordered a three out of five which was pretty appropriate. My friends who ordered a zero, they couldn't finish their roll because it was still too spicy. I thought the flavors were fantastic in the three different things that I tried. If there was a location here in Des Moines, I might frequent it except I think the pricing is a little high. That said, it's in Bellevue so what are you going to do?

    Chili chicken Combo Pod
    John C.

    Super authentic place and I felt like it was a popular type of street food I've never tried before. I was not familiar with this type of food before so the menu was slightly overwhelming being a new customer. However, I knew I needed to order a roll pod and get the bread bun too-kinda like a toasted Hawaiian roll. The roll pod came out super hot and fresh and I picked chili chicken for my filling. I also got egg in my wrap and asked for it to be spicy. I could taste the heat right away. I also like the curry that came with the dish too as it was spicy too. I would gladly come back and try something else again when I'm hungry and in the area.

I ordered paneer butter masala and grabbed a mango lassi from the fridge. I returned about 5 min later and it was ready for me!

The meal also comes with Naan, it was 3 nice sized pieces. They were hot and tasted fresh. The presentation was nice as my expectations for food court food a slightly lower. Getting it "for here" over "to go" probably helped with that. I'd consider going again but definitely would try for a lunch special to save a few bucks.

He had recently come from India after doing a course in hotel management and obviously knew his craft very well. What a shame that this restaurant has earned such bad reputation. We were the only in-house diners on a Sunday at brunch time when neighboring Indian restaurants were full of customers. Multiple chutneys, potato and pea masala inside the dosa, and especially the stellar sambar will definitely make me a repeat customer here. The variety of dosas is pleasing and they have a range of other tiffin style south Indian entrees. Sometimes going off the beaten track and outwitting the Yelp algorithms are beneficial. We had a nice warm chat with the chef and he gave us samples of other things he had made because we told him his sambar was superlative (it really was). Altogether we had a warm, homely, non-capitalistic dining experience in the sanitized corporatocracy that is Bellevue. This was a priceless experience.
