Lassi & Spice Wallingford

Update on the review on my third visit to the slu location The upma and sambhar served were cold . Misal pav had minimum sev and was cold as well. Very disappointed with the experience in this location. Solid place for Indian snacks in Seattle downtown. Their vada pav is top class, poha and upma feels homelike and you can order sev on the side. Last weekend they served saboodana khichdi as well with yogurt which was delicious and well prepared! The idlis are okay but the sambhar is nice and comes with chutney as well . The place has a small sit down space which can be enjoyed for a quick snack with hot tea. Recommend this place for take out and if you are craving for indian flavors

I ordered chana masala and rice, ginger tea. Chana and chai was good but rice was undercooked....I have to leave rice in the plate...I ordered Punjabi samosa it was ok. I think someone needs to monitor food quality like it is properly cooked and being served at right temperature... Indian food like samosa tastes better if hot. Basic cooking needs to be better e.g. idlis should be soft and fluffy. Tried Poha ...that was good

It’s a unique Indian cafe where you can try all specialty Indian drinks and snacks I try pav Bhaji and it was very nice atleast bhaji was really good pao can be improved Tea was good but it’s missing the strong taste of Indian chai that must be worked on . Lasssi was nice but if they can add some cubes of mango it will all great flavors to the taste

Excellent Lassi and filling! I really enjoyed the Samosa Chaat, which was a little spicy but great. I can't wait to try some more menu items. I can't understand some of the1 star reviews. I believe those customers are expecting 100% authenticity; however, this is Seattle, and there is a wide variety of cultures, people, and fusion cuisines.

Great place to be here for Poha, Upma sambhar, Idli sambhar. Ginger Chai is great as well, one should definitely try them! Parathe were not that great, it could be on that specific day though, but overall it is a must try place for Indian snacks!! Sambhar and Lassi are the USP here!!

Saw this place on a friend's profile and had been wanting to try it. Firstly, they are take out only, at the moment! Love the variety and the limited number of options available. We ordered vada pav, samosa chaat and pistachio lassi. The samosa chaat was absolute yum! Perfect blend of sauces and spices. Vada pav order had 3 pieces, great for sharing between 2 people. First time trying pistachio lassi and it was really good. Love the fact that it was served without sugar. The interior is cute but we unfortunately we couldn't dine in this time. Will visit again soon!

This place is great to try Indian street food. The food appears authentic and hygienic, the staff is great and super friendly. I liked the atmosphere of this place, not too big to accommodate a lot of people but a cool cozy place to hangout with friends or a date. TBH the chai wasn’t that great but manageable. #indianfood #indianrestaurant #seattlefood #indiansinseattle #streetfood

A small place for Indian snacks and drinks. The sambhar tastes very authentic. You can enjoy it with idli or vada. I have had the vada pav and I liked it. 6$ for 3 small vada pavs. They also serve poha. The masala chai is good. 4$ for a medium sized serving(can be shared by 2). You can enjoy it with Parle G biscuits. They have filter coffee. I did not enjoy the pista lassi. They have other varieties as well. The gulab jamun is good. The mini samosas are over priced. I haven’t tried it. They have freshly baked brownies which taste great. Overall, it is good place for a quick breakfast and an after work evening ‘adda’ (hangout) with some chai and samosa.

We were back at Lassi & Spice after a while for breakfast today. They serve dosas now, and we had to try it. We got 2 Masala Dosas, Vada Sambar, Potato Vada plate, Chai, and Chickoo shake. The Chai and Chickoo shake were good. Vada sambar was good, potato vada was okay. Masala dosa was good, the masala had paneer in it too along with the potato, which was surprising. After we got one Masala dosa we were told that they ran out of the masala, and they could make a Podi dosa instead. The Podi dosa was great, the dosa was crispier. A great breakfast.

I feel that this place deserves a lot more attention. There's not a lot of Indian cafes so I feel that this place is a true gem. I have yet to try the food but I was quite satisfied with their chai and lassi options. The staff is great, the seating is very charming and overall peaceful place to work at while having some authentic chai.

Good food, I'm sure I'll come back, but I wasn't blown away with the street food here.

Stopped in for a warm cup of chai on a cold stormy day. We ordered two drinks. One drink was ready faster then the other which is typical. However the size was incorrect. After asking if we had ordered a small, they responded that we had not and that they put the wrong cup size down. No issue it happens,, The correct size comes and its as if they just added cold milk to a larger cup. It was spicy an cool just not hot n spicy like I had ordered. This has me asking how hard could it be to get your own specialty drink correct? Probably wont return.

Perfect after-sledding snack! I was so happy they were still open when we walked by on our way home. We chose cold drinks today in lieu of their many hot ones after working up a sweat and our appetites from sledding. We took our drink and food to go. The drinks were delicious and not too sweet. The samosas were perfectly made and tasty. These both hit the spot and were such a nice treat and change from the typical hot cocoa and cookie that we used to get when Essential Bakery was open. Next time, I am eyeing their large variety of Chai drinks to choose from and other food offerings.

I was in the mood for some lassi and I have wanted to check out the place for a while, so I did today after work. The place looks cute and cozy but the food was underwhelming, to be honest. I had the Paneer rice dish - paneer was ok but the rice was bunched and squashed into balls, which diminished the texture of the dish. Lassi is pretty average. It's acceptable but I would have preferred it to be a little sweeter. Most likely I'm not going back.

I'm not too familiar with the Wallingford area so after a nice stroll around the neighbourhood, I decided to stop in for some food. First off, the vibe is fabulous for a chill day. Bright and inviting, clean and cozy. There are cute trinkets sprinkled throughout among the plants giving the feel of sitting in a comfortable living room. I ordered a Bournvita latte with oat milk and it was perfect. I'm a big fan of malt flavour so this drink was right up my alley. So creamy and soothing. Then, I had a samosa chaat. The bowl was small but the dish was very filling and so hearty and satisfying. There was a little kick in each bite, which I loved. This is a great place to sit with a soothing drink and a book or to get some work done. I highly recommend stopping by .

What a disappointment! Went here after chilling at gas works park. I was excited to see masala chai and some Indian snacks on the menu. They have a nice lineup of exciting Indian snack items on menu but nothing close to authentic or delicious. We got basic things like chai, samosa and parantha. The chai had too much sugar and it seemed like a chai tea latte from Starbucks, made from from pre-made powder. The aloo parantha seemed re-heated frozen packs. Nothing great to write about the samosa chaat or the pav. What a waste of money and time.

Great menu, friendly staff. The ambiance is always happy and clean. So much to choose from.

Amazing regional food from Maharasera close to Mumbai. Many different options, food is clean, filling, and plentiful! Great service, and helpful tips. No added unnecessary salts and plenty of vegan options including vegan lassis! If you are in the Fremont area, I encourage you to check this place out and treat yourself, or a friend. It is also relaxed enough to focus on any necessary tasks. I would have taken a photo but the food did not last!

I really liked this location! My family and I were walking by and spotted it randomly. We were surprised at how good the Lassis were! Personally, I got a mango lassi and I was delighted by the flavor. My whole group ordered lassis and we all enjoyed them. The service was spot on, and we will certainly come back again!

Came here for the first time to try their weekend special - taste of Maharashtra. Ordered the combo meal, which came misa pav and two sabodana vada. Also got a chai, which I enjoyed, had a lot of flavor even though the taste is different from other South Asian restaurants I eat at. The sabodana vada would give 3 stars: the flavor was good but they were a little dry and the bottom slightly burned. The misa pav was phenomenal: the spicy, creamy lentils full of flavor from the curry leaves and mustard seeds went perfectly with the fluffy, slightly sweet pav (rolls). Would give this dish five stars. I will definitely come back to Lassi and Spice to try their other weekend specials and regular menu items. I live not too far away so it's easy to get to. The service was good too, though it was a little slow due to a large volume of orders. Definitely worth the wait, and I thought the meal was a good value for what I paid. Looking forward to coming here again soon.

Lassi and Spice was really delicious I was definitely impressed with their South Indian dishes. The Indian-influenced drinks were also really good, I had the Haldi Latte I highly recommend it. The Sambar was very well done, and the idli was soft and fresh perfect combo.

I like the flavors and the beverages. Here are the two issues: menu is extremely high carb and low protein. Also, takes the staff a long time to heat things up and they don't clearly notify you if things are ready if you are sitting outside. Haven't been here in 4 months so things may have improved. I know it is a vegetarian cafe, but really, as someone married into a South Asian Family I know what can be done to balance the protein/carb ratio in a meal. Not looking for extreme low carb, but just maybe capping a meal at 45-60 grams of carbs and getting 20 grams of protein. For diabetes prevention/ blood sugar management. With this place, all I really want is a bowl of dal and a small cup of brown rice to accompany it with a side of sautéed veg or something. Beans for protein. I'm all about rajma and chana masala, but please leave the potatoes out! Just the legumes! Legumes and veg please! I do not need sliders made of a potato patty on a white flour bun! With sweetened beverages! There just isn't a way to eat here that doesn't send my blood glucose spiking. The menu really does make it a snack place and not a place for lunch in my mind. A snack place for people who can handle a really high carb snack with no protein to balance. Too bad, because this place is near my house and a playground where I can take my kid and rendezvous with other parents for lunch. Also, on several occasions the staff spent a lot of time talking/ training someone new and it took over 30 min to get my snack/lunch ready while my toddler melted down outside. Pace of putting things on grill was so slow, very strange. Lots of talk and careful patting of food as if taking lots of effort. No one let us know food was ready. "Oh, you could just look through the window and see it is here on the counter for you." Totally frustrating. And then, what??!! My chana masala is mostly potato and that's not even something I can have for lunch without blood sugar headache afterwards? Two stars for chai being great and this place having potential to change ideally.

I stopped for lunch and the place is cute albeit in a fairly inconvenient location unless you live or work in the neighborhood. The service was very underwhelming and the person who took my order wasn't friendly or very enthusiastic. On both dishes they put one little sprig of cilantro and it's pieces had obvious black mold on it. The first dish came out with one and the second as well. I can't imagine the cook didn't notice it as well. Serving something that is rotten is a very off putting thing.

I come to Lassi & Spice on occasion. I love this location! It has good food and great service. I recommend their mango lassi, but they have other amazing caffeinated and refreshing drinks. For food, you can't go wrong with their soups and samosas. Great place for lunch!

I love chai and was so excited to find such a close cafe. I went once and wouldn't go back. The chai was very powdery and heavily spiced, oddly soapy. It was also $9.

I love this place! Their fruity lassis are my go to and you can make them vegan! Good food, great chai lattes. Highly recommend!

Great food, easy location, attentive staff. If you go with friends, make certain you agree on which location.

We tried their samosas, vada pav and chole rice and everything was below average in taste and really poor quality. The food wasn't freshly prepared. The vada in vada pav was dry and it was probably fried hours ago. The service is also bad. I wouldn't recommend this place.

Worst service ever! Staff we're rude and unhelpful. Every part of my order was incorrect. The staff made no apology or effort to correct their mistakes and seemed annoyed with me for returning my incorrect order. In the end I left without getting everything I ordered.

The South Indian food and the chaat were delicious! I got the Bhel Puri and it was a hit for the whole table!

We discovered Lassi & Spice while strolling in the neighborhood of Gas Works Park. While the food here is great, it still lags behind the authentic Indian restaurants of the Eastside in terms of both taste and cost. However, Lassi & Spice is right here and saves us a long drive. The servers here are also super nice, which is not something you get at the Indian restaurants on Eastside. We love the Pau Bhajis and Paneer Samosas here. This place also takes bulk orders for catering over the phone, in case you're looking to have a desi party.

This is good Indian food, which is hard to come by in Seattle. I've been to India twice, eaten with Indian families, and consider myself a decent judge. Also, chai is delicious! I Work nearby and I've been at least 5 times for lunch. Will keep coming back

This place has a great vibe! We ordered the pistachio lassi and rose milk for drinks and they were really tasty. For food we had the vada pav, bhel and poha all tasted good healthy. And served hot.

Very yummy. I had the vada pav sliders. Perfectly spiced. Delicious. Must warn: the chilis on the side are VERY HOT!

We usually order from other location of lassi and spice and today being in this area we ordered from here. The food was horrible. Only thing 'EDIBLE' was poha and vada pav. Maggi - indian instant noodles were swimming in so much of water - guys read the directions on package and then cook May be? Noodles were too soggy. Idli was burned and vada's were not even edible - tasting so bitter ( we love Vada's from their other location) parantha's were just chewy flour!! So so disappointed by this location! I would rather drive a little far and go to other location next time then order from this location! Super disappointed and wastage of food and $$ In short do not order from here rather go to other location!

Wow I got a Rose Latte and a savory filled croissant and they are both delicious. The rose flavor is perfect and light with espresso that tastes more warm and deep than any other coffee shop in seattle! They have tasty looking food that I will be coming back to try! If you live near gas works you must stop by this place. They know their flavors and spice! I am looking forward to coming back here with family and friends!

My parents and my family were vacationing in Seattle for a week. Being of Indian decent and wanting traditional food, we came across this restaurant when we were walking around town. The food options for vegetarians were great and my parents got to have an traditional Indian breakfast after a week of eating out along with their chai. They also had vegan options so that made it great for all of us since they made chai out of oat milk for us. Great service and food.

One of the best lattes I've had in a while. Can't speak to the food, but the espresso is excellent. Decent prices and friendly staff too.

Absolutely delicious, and great service! The samosas and mango lassi in particular are fantastic! Will be back regularly!
