👉I BET you've never had a Breakfast dish like this before! Freshly baked bread boat filled with cheese, your choice of filling, and topped with egg yolk!
Ask the Community
Q:
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.
A:
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.

Have you tried Khachapuri before?
Skalka in Downtown Seattle specializes in a traditional Georgian dish called Khachapuri.
Just imagine a soft yet chewy bread boat filled with all sorts of flavorful ingredient combinations, like cheese, egg, chicken ragu and more.
We tried the:
- Beef Stroganoff
- Veggie
- Chicken
- Lobiani
Our favorite was the Lobiani with the banana peppers, bacon and red beans. The sweetness from the red beans and the tartness from the peppers makes for a rich and flavorful dip!
You'll also notice that there are just forks at the tables as the Khachapuri crust is meant to be torn by hand.
If you're visiting Downtown and the Pike Place Market area, head on over to Skalka for a unique and tasty meal!Helpful 2Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

Thank you for sharing your experience at Skalka, Michelle! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our Lobiani with banana peppers, bacon, and red beans. It's fantastic to know that you appreciated the blend of sweetness from the red beans and the tanginess from the peppers—it's one of our favorite flavor combinations too! And yes, tearing the Khachapuri crust by hand is all part of the fun and tradition. We're delighted you appreciated that aspect of the dining experience as well. We hope to welcome you back soon for another uniquely delicious meal when you're in the Downtown and Pike Place Market area!
Jan 22, 2022Previous reviewI've been meaning to check out Skalka for awhile, and glad that I finally did! We visited on a Saturday afternoon and was pleased to find that it wasn't too packed inside. It seems that there's an equal number of guests dining in vs. ordering take-out. The restaurant has a few small tables out in front, and larger tables in the back for extra seating. It's also currently self-ordering via the kiosk at front - nice and easy, especially during this time of COVID.
We ordered the:
- Lobiani - This was our first time trying Georgian Khachapuri Adjaruli in general, and for some reason, I was expecting the consistency of the bread to be like a sour dough bread bowl - a little more on the harder side and chewier. We were pleasantly surprised because the bread was actually pretty soft and easy to break away, which was great because they only had forks at each table. I think the red chili definitely helped with the heaviness of the eggs & cheese, which paired so well with the bacon and red beans.
- Stroganoff - Essentially beef stroganoff in a flatbread form, the pickles once again helped cut through the creaminess of the cheese and eggs. Loved having this one to try in comparison to the Lobiani.
Due to the size and heaviness of each Adjaruli, I feel like two people can share one order. We ended up not being able to finish either of ours and taking the rest home. :) - Mary C.Bellevue, WA2163230Apr 27, 2024
Always wanted to try this place and finally made it! The 'khachapuri' , which looks like a breakfast pizza, was very yummy!
The place felt a little sterile after the pandemic with self ordering kiosk, water station, etc.
Although there weren't really any 'services' since you order yourself and you pick the food from the counter, but the tables weren't being cleaned quickly so it is available for the next guest.
Ordered the Lobiani with red beans which was great. Looking forward to coming back for the Veggie since the eggplant looks amazing on my friend's plate :).
Wish there was more drink options. But they had drip coffee, orange juice and canned soda.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Mary! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed our khachapuri and Lobiani. Your feedback about the self-ordering system and the cleanliness of the tables is duly noted, and we'll strive to improve in those areas. We're glad you found the eggplant appealing and are excited to welcome you back for the Veggie option! We'll take your suggestion for more drink options into consideration for enhancing our menu. Looking forward to serving you again soon!

Imagine this: It's a beautiful Saturday afternoon in downtown Seattle. I've just had a blast wandering around Pike Place Market, taking in the vibrant sights and sounds. As I stroll along the Seattle Waterfront, marveling at the majestic cruise ships, something catches my eye--a cozy little spot called Skalka. Curiosity piqued, I whip out my phone and turn to Yelp for the lowdown.
To my delight, I discover that Skalka is a haven of deliciousness, offering up an array of made-to-order bread boats that promise to warm the soul. And get this--they're a small business run by folks from Georgia (the country)! The mention of Khachapuri sends my taste buds into overdrive, reminding me of those mouthwatering promos I've seen on Evening Magazine.
Stepping inside Skalka, I'm greeted by a laid-back vibe and simple decor that feels just right for a morning meal, even though its 4 pm! The excitement builds as I picture sinking my teeth into a freshly baked bread boat, oozing with cheesy goodness and topped with a perfectly cooked egg--each one lovingly crafted by hand. With options like classic cheese, veggie-packed delights, and hearty beef stroganoff, there's something for every palate. Opting for the veggie boat, I'm treated to a burst of fresh flavors that hit the spot perfectly.
And let's talk about freshness--Skalka's dough is whipped up in small batches throughout the day, guaranteeing that every bite is as fresh as can be. No stale bread in sight!
Oh, and did I mention Skalka's claim to fame? They've been showered with praise from every corner, earning their spot as a true gem in Seattle's culinary scene.
So, whether you're in the mood for a leisurely brunch or a quick bite on the go, Skalka has got you covered. Don't let the time of day hold you back--swing by and experience the magic for yourself. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you later!Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0Business owner information

Choosing the veggie boat was a fantastic decision! We take pride in using fresh ingredients to create vibrant flavors that hit the spot just right. We hope to welcome you back soon for another delightful meal at Skalka! - May 1, 2024
Forgot to post this review from recent Seattle travels. Skalka was bookmarked in my Yelp based on reviews and their menu intrigued me to try Eastern European cuisine. The location is slightly further past the touristy Pike Place Market, but within walking distance from downtown area. It's a clean, casual, bright eating place with dining area. I tried the stroganoff khachapuri and it was divine! The bread boat was freshly baked and all the components (including egg and pickles) perfectly complemented each other. There were alot of customers picking up their orders to go. I will remember to return during future travels here.

My friends and I came here on a Sunday afternoon for lunch and had a great time! We luckily didn't have to wait to find a seat, but it definitely got busier on our way out. Street parking is available in the area, but there is a decent sized paid parking lot nearby.
We ended up all getting different types, but I ordered the chicken. The food is very flavorful, and it was a great experience trying this cuisine for the first time.
Service was great and the staff were patient while we tried to decide what to order. You'll order at the front, and they'll give you a number they'll call later to pick up your food. When you're done, they ask you to throw it all away. They have a good-sized pizza-style box if you have leftovers you want to take home.
This is a great restaurant I'll definitely be coming back to when in the area! Don't forget to check in through the Yelp app for a free coffee!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

I wanted to try this place for a really long time after, and it didn't disappoint! Super flavorful and the bread was soft and had the perfect chew to it. We had the Lobiani and my wife had the Chicken. Both were amazing! I'm definitely coming back to try different ones, i had my eye on the Beef Stroganoff.

Nestled on the outskirts of Pikes Place in Seattle, Skalka offers a delightful culinary experience with a scenic backdrop that complements its unique approach to dining. The restaurant's commitment to delicious food and an innovative online ordering system makes it a standout in the bustling Seattle food scene.
One of the notable features of Skalka is its picturesque location, providing a charming escape from the urban hustle. The ambiance is perfect for those seeking a break from the Pike's Place touristy noise.
Skalka takes an unconventional approach to ordering, with the entire process conducted online. While this may be a novel concept, it does streamline the ordering process, ensuring efficiency and accuracy. However, this approach might not suit everyone, especially those who prefer a more traditional experience with face-to-face interaction.
The menu at Skalka boasts a variety of delectable options, showcasing a fusion of flavors that cater to diverse palates. The Chicken Boat seemed a bit overwhelming and a bit to ummm mushy. In hindsight, opting for the Cheese Boat alone might have been a wiser choice, as it allowed the individual ingredients to shine without the slight overcrowding observed in the Chicken Boat.
While the food at Skalka is undoubtedly a highlight, the service could use a friendlier touch. The online ordering system, while efficient, lacks the personal interaction that many patrons seek in a dining experience. A bit more warmth and engagement from the staff could elevate the overall satisfaction for guests. If the restaurant could enhance its service with a more personable touch, it would undoubtedly secure its place as a must-visit destination on the outskirts of Pikes Place in Seattle.Helpful 3Thanks 2Love this 4Oh no 0Business owner information

We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our unique approach to dining and our commitment to delicious food.

We're sorry to hear that the Chicken Boat didn't meet your expectations. We strive to provide a memorable dining experience for all of our guests, and we're always looking for ways to improve. We hope you'll give us another chance in the future to show you the exceptional service and delicious food that Skalka is known for. - Apr 19, 2024
We arrived promptly at 9 when they opened on Sunday and they were ready. It was self order via computer, so we ordered our 2 adjarulis to get a solid meal in before our party of 5 flew out. The sign said 15 minutes, and our boxes were set out at 9:15 on the dot.
They come in pizza boxes, and they are heavy. The best thing to say is it is as good as advertised: soft crust that is perfect for dipping and scooping the cheesy, buttery, egg yolky amazingness. It is rich, and dense, one boat can feed multiple people, and probably would have been enough. It is kid friendly, all three of our kids loved it. In spite of all the butter and cheese, the bread isn't soggy which is shocking. This place is delicious, and was the perfect way to stuff our faces one last time in Seattle before heading home.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

I absolutely loved it.
I got the adjaruli which is a sort of bread bowl with soft, curdy cheese, fresh melted butter, and an egg yolk. It was so damn good.
The bread was very soft and fresh. They say all of their orders are cooked fresh by hand and I believe them. Freshly baked bread is a wonderful thing. It had a nice chew to it also.
To eat it you break off pieces of bread and dunk it in the cheese, butter, egg yolk mixture. It's so much fun. The mixture is good. Nicely salted. Definitely coats your mouth but it isn't too much. Pretty creamy and luxurious.
I enjoyed the novelty of this dish too.
It's not the sort of thing where there are complex flavors going around. More of a comfort food the way mac n cheese or grilled cheese is. But sometimes that is just perfect. I would go out of my way to return to Skalka if I lived in Seattle (and had a faster metabolism).Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Thank you immensely for sharing your delightful experience at Skalka! We're thrilled to learn that you thoroughly enjoyed our adjaruli, and your detailed description truly captures the essence of the dish.
At Skalka, we take immense pride in crafting each order with care and freshness, and we're delighted that our dedication to handcrafted excellence resonated with you. Freshly baked bread is indeed a joyous indulgence, and we're overjoyed that you appreciated its softness and unique chew.
Your enthusiasm for the interactive experience of breaking off pieces of bread and dunking them into the cheesy, buttery, and egg yolk mixture brings a smile to our faces. We're pleased that you found the dish to be both fun and satisfying, with its creamy and luxuriant texture perfectly complementing its comforting appeal.
Your comparison of our adjaruli to beloved comfort foods like mac n cheese or grilled cheese is both flattering and apt. We believe in the power of simple, yet deeply satisfying flavors to evoke warmth and contentment, and we're delighted that you found our dish to be a fitting addition to that category.
Should you find yourself in Seattle again, we would be honored to welcome you back to Skalka for another memorable culinary experience. Until then, may your culinary adventures be as delightful as your visit to Skalka!
