    Beef Stroganoff
    Sierra W.

    One of my favorite places in downtown Seattle to eat. Amazing view of the Seattle Great Wheel while you chat with loved ones and eat a delicious shared meal. Service is kind and restaurant is clean and bright. The food is so amazing and we always get extra pickles and extra yolk! My boyfriend and I really love this place and always find ourselves thinking about it and returning. Definitely recommend Skalka as it never disappoints!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    This was the most satisfying and delicious thing I've had in a long time. Love the ordering process- love the simple, clean venue and the natural light pouring in. I just couldn't love that food more! Got the spinach version- it was perfect. Couldn't eat it all but I reheated the refrigerated remains in the airfryer for dinner. 390 for 7 mins was perfect.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    Gladly adding to the chorus of rave reviews about Skalka. I enjoyed the "Stroganoff Boat" which is egg, ground beef, cheese, butter, and pickles in a bread boat (Georgian Khachapuri.) I stirred in the egg then ripped off some bread and scooped up the gooey cheesey beefy mixture. It was fantastic. The $17 boat was more than enough food for two people shared, in fact, we couldn't finish it although I kept taking "one more bite!" because it was so tasty. The restaurant is a little bigger than I expected from photos, there are a few tables in the front and a few tables in the back, so getting a seat was no problem. You order at a kiosk (tablet) and listen for your number to be called and I also got a text when my order was ready. They tell you an approximate wait time, and it was pretty accurate for us (15 minutes on a Saturday at almost noon.) You pick up your order at the counter and can get your own water as well, so I'm not sure that you need to tip for self-service like that? The atmosphere was pretty modest in terms of the decor, but I sat in a sunny window with a view of the great wheel, so I really couldn't have been happier. The food was delicious, I couldn't stop talking about it the next day, and I definitely will be back for more!

    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.

It has a cozy, inviting atmosphere that makes it a great place to relax over dessert with family or friends. The menu is a dream for matcha and hojicha lovers. They offer an impressive variety of parfaits, floats, frappes, and lattes, with optional additions like mochi and red beans. It took us a while to decide because everything looked tempting. My daughter and I shared the Hojicha Mochi Parfait, while my son ordered the Hojicha Float with mochi. The parfait had a rich, authentic hojicha flavor and was generously layered with chewy mochi, crunchy cereal flakes, and creamy soft serve, giving it a wonderful mix of textures. The float was equally enjoyable, with a bold roasted hojicha flavor that wasn't overly sweet, and the mochi was a fun addition. The quality of the desserts was excellent, and while the prices are on the higher side, they reflect the quality of the ingredients and presentation. If you're a fan of matcha or hojicha, this is definitely a place worth visiting.

However, I did end up trying one of their seasonal menu items - the Sakura Blossom Cloud Latte. I customized this drink with oat milk, even though the foam has to stay as dairy. The oat milk added a nutty creaminess that I particularly enjoyed. There were notes of the sweet Sakura syrup with a slight saltiness from the cream foam that gives the drink its perfect balance. It was a refreshing drink for a pick-me-up and they only had it for a limited time! My only thing is that I felt some coffee beans at the bottom that may not have been grinded as finely but other than that, the drink was amazing and I would recommend as a good backdrop for a spring walk!
