Indian restaurant · Capitol Hill

"Spice Waala, which has opened three locations since starting as a pop-up in 2018, deserves to be in the pantheon of affordable Seattle takeout options alongside Dick’s and teriyaki. The chutneys are sweet and spicy and bursting with life — you can dip fries in them, get them alongside an aloo tikki (a potato patty) or papdi (crackers). The kathi rolls are similarly excellent whether you’re getting one with paneer (a cottage cheese–like cheese), lamb, or chicken tikka. At this point we’ve just like, listed the entire menu and told you it’s good? But it is incredible. The seasonal soft serve — with rotating flavors inspired by Indian cuisine — deserves a shout-out too. This is street food done exactly right." - Eater Staff
