The Roll Pod

I don’t know how I missed this place seriously! A friend recommended it to me a long time ago, and I finally got the chance to try it out. It instantly took me back to my school days when I used to grab a chicken roll during break time! I love that they offer so many choices to customize your own roll—just pick your stuffing from the screen menu. Ordering through their self-service machine is super easy. Their front staff is Mexican, but they are incredibly friendly and helpful. Since I love spicy food, they offered me a spicy sauce on the side. Besides the green chutney, they also have other great sauces. They even serve lassi and pop sodas. The seating area is spacious and clean, and there’s plenty of free parking which makes it even more convenient to visit. I’m glad I finally found this gem of Indian food—quick, tasty, and budget-friendly! Highly recommended! Request- Dear owner if you can introduce chicken/ noodles/Aloo Frankie then it will be very great!

The Roll Pod was amazing! The flavors were bold and authentic, with a great blend of spices and noticeably fresh ingredients. I ordered a level 2 spice and it had just the right amount of heat, flavorful without overwhelming the dish. The portion sizes were generous for the price, making it a great value. I tried the Chana masala and it was absolutely delicious, warm, well-wrapped, and packed with flavor. The menu had a nice variety of options, including both vegetarian and non-vegetarian choices, which I appreciated. The service was fast, friendly, and attentive. The restaurant was clean and inviting, making it just as good for a casual dine-in experience as it is for takeout. Highly recommend swinging by if you’re in the area, or placing an order online. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to. Yum!

Really disappointed with the food here. I went with high expectations, but it didn’t live up to them at all. I ordered the Paneer Chili Roll, and my friends tried the chicken and mutton rolls – none of us liked what we got. On top of that, the service was slow and we had to wait a long time for our food. I hope it raises the bar equally to roll pod food truck

Wow! The textures, the crispy wrap and balance of protein, oil and vegetables and spices! Super fast, healthy yet satisfy, neat and easy to take out or eat in. Very clean and friendly staff!

Yummy Rollpods ever 😍 Tasty food wjth Decent ambience around! Wide variety of RollPod options and easy to order

Yes, it's spicy! I ordered "Mild", and it burned my mouth, surprisingly in a good way. Even I don't like any spicy food, and not a big fan of this type of cuisine, I had a good experience eating the "trio", the amount of food was enough to feed my husband and me. The best one was chicken with cheese, IMHO, highly recommend this one. The service wasn fast enough, no complains. The price is decent. A lot of parking near by.

Got a chilli paneer roll which was so small it was not even for a small kid. The taste was below average, quantity was not at all to American standard although price definitely was. It was 10.38 dollars for a very small roll which would be a 20-30 rupees in INR.Stuffing was very less and it was so unhealthy and oily, oil was literally dripping out of it. Have shared pics for reference. Would not recommend this place at all.

The food is tasty, but they mess up my orders frequently. We’ve ordered from here 15+ times, and easily 5 of those times we’ve received incorrect things. It happened again today - I ordered paneer, but a few bites in I realized it was chicken. The order receipt was correct, but the food itself wasn’t. So annoying and feels like a waste of money every time that happens.

Your favorite Indian dishes wrapped up in a roti. Surprisingly tasty. Great to go spot.

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.

Food is definitely 5 star Service and speed of food is less less than 1 star We've been here 3 times now in the last month and the food is always excellent. We always get a tripod and half salad to split between two adults and not only is it plenty of food but it's always delicious (spice levels vary sometimes though, sometimes it's perfect and sometimes spicier). HOWEVER, if you're in a hurry go elsewjere. The guy who has been back there making our food every time we've gone, has always been on the phone, and works at a place that's slower than molasses on cold day! It has taken at least 20 minutes to get our food each time and the guy always leaves to go in back for a bunch of the time. IF we return, I will put the order in online before we get there and hopefully eat soon after we are there!

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.

A lot of veggies in the filling, not too much chicken/paneer. Flavour is good though. Would have preferred slightly thicker parathas.

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.

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.

Very unassuming place for yummy Indian food on the go! I came across this place after overhearing people talk about this place. I was curious and happened to be hungry so I headed over to see what the hype was about. The employees are very friendly and nice. You order on a big iPad screen and then just wait for your order. I had the chicken masala in the naan roll, and the mango lassi. They were both so good!! The roll was very spicy even at "medium" so be careful if you're sensitive to spice. My mouth was on fire but I loved it! The mango lassi was really fresh and wasn't too sweet. I had an upset stomach before coming, but the yogurt in the lassi actually made me feel much better for the rest of the day. Price was decent, it was ~$8 for the chicken masala roll and the lassi was $4. There is plenty of seating inside and a bathroom. Very casual place to eat quickly or to just grab and go!

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?

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...)

This is one of those restaurants where every time you go, the taste and consistency leave an impression on you. It's a real hole in the wall, with kiosk and online ordering options. The wrap for the rolls is so tasty, light, flaky, and a little oily but so good. The fillings are packed with flavor and texture is great. Prices are reasonable too. I also enjoy the pav bhaji.

Unassuming place for quick and tasty Indian food on the go! Went here twice during our recent trip to the city and the service was great. We tried only the veggie options but all were great. The mint chutney was one of the best I've tried. Definitely recommend.

Ordered 1 chana masala roll, which was enough for me. Went for 2/5 heat, but would probably do 1 star if spice next time. Lots of good flavor, and fairly affordable! We were a big group, but it was fairly easy to connect a few tables together. There wasn't many other diners here.

I recently tried Rolll pod at Bellevue for a to-go order and loved their food! I mean, seriously, it's a hidden gem that's totally worth raving about! I tried their tripod - with a combination of paneer masala roll, mushroom masala roll and pav bhaji The Paneer masala Roll was like a party in my mouth - delightful blend of soft, marinated spicy paneer, fresh veggies, and that perfectly cooked flatbread, yum! I wasn't a big fan of the mushroom roll - meh! I also tried their Pav Bhaji - it was like a warm, comforting hug from India, with mashed veggies that was bursting with flavors, and those buttery pav buns were to die for! If you're in the mood for authentic Indian street eats, you NEED to check this place out!

Delicious!! If you like flavor come here! 1 pod was a solid lunch for me. If I were hungry perhaps another side. I can totally scarf down 2 too. I have tried, chicken, mutton, paneer and they are good! I personally like the mutton! My only negative: you can request spice level 1-5. 1 is mild 5 is spicy. I don't handle spice well and is their "1, mild" was still quite spicy for me. Wish I had milk to temper my mouth. Service- nice Ambiance- spacious, homey. Lots of seating options. Location- in a strip mall with parking available. Value- good, for one pod after taxes $9 and change. Recommend- yes.

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.

Really delicious and flavorful roll. I ordered 2 of the chicken masala as it was my first time. I requested less less spicy and it still had good kick. You'll u sweet and when you place the order on the kiosk. Next time I'll add on more roti and some dipping sauces. Will definitely return. It's nice and clean and is great for quick meals.

Walked in and tried to order. Staff is very rude and unwilling to help. Never got to try the food. Had to go somewhere else. Place had no other customers.

Don't go to the place, unless you feel like getting ignored after getting the wrong food. This place got my order wrong twice, we paid extra for mutton but got chicken and when I spoke up about it they simply sighed, didn't say a word and went back to packing food. So disrespectful and disappointing to experience this because I've heard good things about this place. After this incident it was very awkward to continue to eat here and they continued to ignore us along with the other person waiting to pick up their order.

Our comfort food! Love their rolls and rice pods. Favorite fillings are Fish, Mutton masala , chicken chili, paneer chilli. They do have a poster in the restaurant in you are confused about the menu. They have various combinations of rolls and rice pods to help you satisfy your hunger. 1 Rollpod is good for a snack but you will need half pod rice or another roll for lunch or dinner! They moved to a new location! The Online order still routes you to the previous location near Ross. This now opp to Ross taking over Afghan (next to timeless cafe)

So glad I stumbled upon this cute little spot. The restaurant is super clean and decorated well. Placing my order couldn't have been easier with the touchscreen ordering system. Food was ready quickly and everything was delicious. Taking off 1 star because the portion of Gajar Ka Halwa for $4.50 seemed a bit steep. Also, the ratio of carrots to nuts in the halwa was not balanced too well. I will definitely be a repeat customer and excited to try additional rolls in the future. The Chicken Chili Roll was incredible. Medium Spicy was flavored immaculately.

Went to satisfy spicy craving for lunch on Saturday. There wasn't anyone there but it seems like they had a couple of take-out/ online orders. I got the half roll half rice combo with chicken masala and methi chicken (special). Spice level 4. It took a bit longer to get the food 10-15 minutes for just one roll and one rice but they were delicious. I ended up eating in the car on my way home because i was so hungry. Would go again.

The Roll Pod is a casual Indian spot that serves food in the form of a roti. They opened within the last couple years and I've been wanting to try this place out for a while. The restaurant is located in a parking plaza so parking is plentiful. I ordered the roll pod ($12.95) which is their most popular dish. This includes two rolls and you can select your fillings whether you want a meat or vegetarian filling. They only have four meat options and for mine I got one with chicken masala and one with mutton masala ($1.50 extra). I know Indian food to be flavorful and both meats do not lack in that department. They are both tender and flavorful, especially the mutton. The roti is soft and the rolls are flavorful and balanced. It's fresh from the lettuce and onion, cooling from the chutney, and bright from the lemon juice. You can choose your level of spice (1-5) and I thought level 2 was a good level for me. I love my Indian food that includes curries and biryanis, but this place is good if you want fast Indian food as a quick lunch.

The food was nice. You could choose one roll and rice or two rolls. I liked it, but it was expensive. For the same price, you could get a combo dish.

If you want to spice up your taste buds..this is the spot for you. These rolls are packed with flavor and made fresh to order. I will say that these were pretty spicy..I actually had tears in my tears haha..but they were so good, they were tears of joy. Found this spot on a delivery app - the reviews and photos were quite enticing..I had to check it out. The food arrive warmed and carefully packaged. The roll was delicious, warm and crispy. It also came with chickpeas and rice. The portions are nice, I had some leftovers for the next day and it was still lovely. I will definitely be back here SOON.

Food tastes good but extremely oily even for Indian food. The ladies at Bellevue location do not speak English making communication is impossible. Discount code don't work majority of times. We used to love this place but it has been going downhill for a while now.

The Roll Pod is a restaurant that caught my eye - I haven't tried a roll pod before and this type of dish looks very enticing, so we decided to swing by around 7pm on a Wednesday and check it out! It felt like the majority of the orders at the time were mostly takeout as we were the only customers to dine in that night. I got the Tri Pav-Bhaji Pod with Paneer Masala and Chicken Masala entrée - which was labeled as a hunger savior on the menu, and let me tell you, it is a good amount of food. From initial look of it, it may not look like much but those rolls are more hefty than you might think! They give you the option of adding an egg to cover the rolls themselves, and they do add a good dimension of flavor and texture. I'll review the components of the entrees down below: - The paneer masala is very filling and rich - they give you a good amount of paneer spread evenly throughout the roll and just eating this roll by itself would probably leave you satisfied. - The chicken masala had a decent amount of spiciness, like a comfortable heat with a bit of small onion aftertaste - you can definitely taste the other spices that they put in the masala, creating a good amount of complexity in flavor. - The Pav-Bhaji also had a good amount of spiciness, and combined with the chicken masala, it will leave you good amount of bite to wake up your taste buds! The Mango Lassi is definitely a good addition to cool down the spiciness from the other dishes - Not too sweet and you can taste the sourness from the yogurt with a hint of mango aftertaste. Personally wished I got a bit more lassi since I was drinking this very quick from the spiciness from the other dishes above. Overall, spent about $22 for the meal and I thought that this was a decent price given the amount of the food you will receive - The Roll Pod will leave you feeling full afterwards! I would definitely like to come back in the future to try the other options!

The food is fantastic. The most popular option on the menu ("The Roll Pod") nets you two rolls with any fillings of your choice (some will incur an up-charge). At their current price point, Id honestly select any of the fillings on the menu regardless of whether or not I've tried it. Every one that Ive tried thus far (Lamb, Chicken, and Paneer) have all been wonderful and the fact that my biggest gripe is trying to decide on two fillings rather than indulging and buying three rolls goes to show how much I enjoy the food. I've also never had a bad experience with how the food was prepared. Its remained consistent in its quality and it only takes about 10 minutes to prepare. As for the interior of the store, its nothing special. Its clean and simple, and thats about all I could really ask for.

Owners are gregarious and humble people--I really enjoyed talking with them. You can tell they care about people, and I can definitely sense it in their food. The combo plate was food that felt like a warm hug. High quality ingridients, prepared with love, and the spices/textures are simply delightful. Their mango lassi pairs well with the spicy mint chutney and the very flavorful chicken and paneer fillings. Overall, I love the passion behind the food, and I will be a returning customer. My new favorite Indian spot!

Okay. My kid has Celiacs and they did not make my kid sick. The truck is beautiful, the people inside were amazing, and the food was sick. No one had a complaint, and I will never regret ordering that truck for my kid's graduation party. It was affordable and so yum. Yes to this taco truck! Thanks SO much for everything. Get the truck, it's amazing.

The Roll Pod is located on NE 20th street Bellevue. The menu is simple but filling. We ordered the tripod and gajar halwa. The tripod is a three kathi roll order with fillings of your choice. Kathi rolls, for the uninitiated, is a type of street food originating in Bengal, India. Kathi in Bengali roughly translates to a stick. Skewered (mostly) meat on a stick rolled in a paratha bread is a Kathi roll. We added egg to our Kathi roll and our fillings of choice were chili chicken and mutton masala. The order was packed well and warm even after we got home. The paratha held the filling well and in my opinion was a great base for the filling. The fillings were tasty but the only con for me was the grassy smell of mutton which was a little overpowering for my taste. The gajar ka halwa sweet was good. We'll back to order again and try other items in the menu but we may avoid ordering the mutton again.

I was craving something quick and flavorful and stumbled on Roll Pod on Yelp. I don't eat Indian food much but I love the flavors! When I went in, the employee was working on a large order but was quick to attend to me. I ordered the bowl with chicken masala and paneer masala with a rose lassi on the side. Despite being slammed with a large order the employee got my order out and ready in less than 10 minutes! Now back to the food. Like I said before, I don't eat Indian food much, but to me, it was flavorful and packed with spices. The chicken masala wasn't dry and the tofu in the paneer curry was perfectly stewed. The rose lassi was good but very, very thick, which I wasn't quite expecting. But it was pretty good and had a subtle rose flavor. Not only was the food good, it was a pretty large order for the price. I definitely would go again to try their other offerings!

Tasty, fast, and so many options! We came in here on a whim for dinner and were very pleased! I got one Paneer Masala roll pod and the Achaari Aloo salad pod and it was so so SO good. I got level 3 spice and that was perfect

Amazing roll! Tried chili chicken roll, and chicken masala combo (roll with rice) I highly recommend chili chicken roll. You also get an option with or without egg. The flavor and spicy level of the roll was perfect In my opinion, the roll was better than the rice However, the only suggestion I could give is they should work on the cleanliness as the restroom was not clean at all

Rolls are good. We ordered paneer roll. Much better than before! Taking off 1 star for super duper oily carrot halwa.

Imagine an Indian omelette/gyro/burrito/doner kebab. The menu is intimidating but don't worry, you got this. Recommended rolls: VEGGIE: Aloo Gobhi Matar Pod MEAT: Mutton Masala Pod

I'm a huge fan of the Roll Pod. The food is all delicious and excellent value. The Mutton at 3 star is soooo good. Rolls are great, bowls are great, can't go wrong here.

Well I must say I made a blunder to try their food again!!! I ordered a roll and pav bhaji, and once again, I was left thoroughly disappointed. The taste was just as bad as my previous experience, if not worse. It seems like they haven't improved their quality at all. Both dishes tasted stale and lacked any flavor, just like last time. The roll was dry, and the pav bhaji seemed to be lacking in freshness. It's disheartening to see no improvement in their food quality. I will definitely remember this experience and won't be ordering from here again. 0 star.

The Roll Pod has been on my must-visit list for months, so I was excited to find myself in the neighborhood recently around lunchtime. Since it was my first visit, I found the ordering process to be quite confusing (sooo many different options/combos you can get) but once I figured out what to get I was able to quickly input my order into their automated ordering kiosk. I got a small combo to go, with a chile chicken roll as the star attraction along with a half-rice bowl featuring mushroom masala. The flavors of this food were definitely on point - I think I liked the chile chicken the best, as it was super spicy and messy (but in a good way). The mushroom masala rice bowl was also a solid meatless offering. I found the size of the combo to be perfect for my lunch, though it was a bit messy eating it in my car. Note for next time: grab more napkins! I'm looking forward to a return visit and diving into some more of their tasty-sounding options.

Good roll here. Had Paneer Masala. Ingredients are good quality but low amount, so recommend 2 rolls for lunch. Order an additional egg and it is fried onto the roll flatbread interior, great idea. Roll flatbread was very good. Am not an expert, but it was similar to crepe roll and even better with egg fried to inside. Menu and order provided by computer display panel, Counter service, Fast casual table and chairs, Interior only.

Love the food but when we went 3 of us (out of 4) had incorrect orders. One was supposed to be vegetarian and had chicken, and two orders were one roll with chicken and ins roll with chick pea. All of us had all chicken.

The food price to quantity ratio is great. The man at the counter was really great and wholesome. Food was fire as hell. Will definitely be going back.

Great tasting No muss no fuss rolls/frankie/kathi rolls. Indian street food afficianodos will recognize the rolls here as Frankie in Mumbai streets or Kathi roll up north or as the owner calls it "Roll Pod". Its basically a flour based tortilla roll filled with fillings of your choice,mint, masala spices and some onion,etc. This is a place that has your subway or jimmy john vibe in terms of ambience so do not expect much in terms of that. But the rolls are great. I have been here several times and the taste has remained consistent but the quantity of filling in each roll varied slightly. But overall not too bad consistency wise. My favorites that most probably would like as well are Chicken Masala Pod and paneer Masala pod. (I would suggest dont add egg to your roll it makes it very omeletty or if you order two get one with egg and one without and decide for yourself) You will need two rolls to fill your appetite and make sure you order 2/5 for spicy for regular spiciness. I myself can just about handle 3 but still have my tip of tongue tingling with spice (but always wanting more)

This place is delicious!! I got the combo with chicken on the rice and mutton in the roll. I actually didn't know mutton was lamb, just FYI I normally don't eat lamb but it was flavorful and tender. I got 3rd spice level and I think it was a smidge too spicy for me, but super delicious regardless. My boyfriend got 3 rolls and he just wasn't a huge fan of the paneer, but I think that's definitely personal preference. They have little wax papers outside the door so you don't have to touch the door handle which was super nice. Also their online ordering system wasn't working properly, but we just called in! Super delicious and really good portions! Definitely will be back!

Have tried it once. Gluten free with Nima! Tried the rice bowl. Delicious as well. Wife tried the kathi roll and she really liked it.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Flavor is on point. Although quite spicy for a 3*, the flavors were absolutely delicious and so authentic. I love spice but I think going forward I would pick a 2* just to be able to enjoy each flavor with a little heat. I ordered the mutton roll and a mango lassi. Fantastic food, mango lassi was very delicious and cooling :)

WOW this place serves INCREDIBLE food. Flavorful, not greasy, filling. Combos with rolls or rice bowls, pick your filling. They have mango lassis and other items as well. Got the two roll combo ($10.95) with paneer and chicken masala. Great portions. Pick your spice level (1 to 5). The wrap is a yummy roti with egg cooked in. Amazing service and food was ready so quickly (prepared right in front of you). Also the fact that they were so mindful with sanitation during COVID is great.

It was like snacking from a stingy, high-priced food truck. Food tasted good, but portions very small and high-priced. 16-18 bucks for about half a meal. I ordered two "rolls", which are small, thin, greasy fried dough, left quite hungry, paid about 18 bucks. I had no meat, only mushrooms in one roll and chickpeas in the other one. That's not exactly a high-cost meal for them to make, yet I paid quite a lot for it. To get full I'd have to order 4 or 5 of the rolls and go over 30 dollars for truck food. Atmosphere doesn't exist, dining room cold, no decor, almost unheated, wear a warm coat, I did, and still felt cold. No hand towels in rest room, so I had to eat with wet hands, too.
