The Roll Pod Food Truck 500 Boren Ave N

I stopped by this place for lunch to try the combo pod - which is basically a combination of a kathi roll and a rice dish starting with the kathi roll (ie: roll pod), I wasn't a huge fan of it. the roti on the outside was cooked well, and had a nice browning to it, but I thought the filling was kind of lacking. I had the chicken masala filling - and it had a bit of a weird taste to it. the chicken felt really dry, and none of the other fillings did anything to really complement it. however, i did enjoy the rice pod much more. the basmati rice was cooked really well - super aromatic, and not dry. the tomato gravy was rich, creamy, and flavorful - it provided excellent mouthfeel to each bite - to the point where I was pretty happy even on bites that didn't include any protein. The portion size of this also felt a good amount better than what was given in the rice pod. For the filling, I opted for the mutton masala here - and I definitely could feel the spice emanating from the marinated meat. the pieces of mutton used were also pretty large. Liked this dish a lot For the price, this combination is pretty expensive - coming in at around $18. It's a decent portion, but it's not quite enough for 2 meals - maybe 1 1/2. Overall, the namesake roll is a miss, but the rice pod is some actually quite good Indian food. 7.75/10

Awesome place for take out Indian rolls. My favorite is Aachari fish and Mutton masala. Add eggs for sure. Chutney sauce is also addictive. The roll is pretty much spicy but it’s something that most of us can handle. You can choose 1-3 rolls but I usually go for 2 rolls and that’s still pretty much filling. One bummer is that it’s super busy at lunch time due to lots of folks from amazon.

My office is close to this food truck and I was craving Indian so I tried it. This is my review after visiting this place for two times. The staff is great but the food isn’t. 1. Pav bhaji was good, but the quantity for the price is too low. 2. The egg in the roll is over cooked, making it rubbery. 3. Chicken isn’t cooked well. 4. Food quantity for the price is low. 4. Chili paneer was sweet. Gave two stars because of the nice staff, pav bhaji and Chana masala. I wouldn’t recommend this place and wouldn’t come back again.

Rice Pod was awesome. The Mutton masala was really good. Juicy and tender, would definitely go again.

The got a variety of food to serve. I usually get a roll pod which consists of 2 rolls with fillings of your choice. If you’re a vegetarian, I’d suggest Achaari Aloo and Paneer masala. Since it’s located in between many Amazon offices, it’s quite busy during lunch hours. So the minimum wait time could be 30 mins, and should be planned accordingly. Food quality is very good. I live around that place, so usually take it home and enjoy eating it. I’d recommend taking Mango Lassi as well, in case you wanna beat the heat!!!

just the BEST ✨⭐✨⭐✨ ROLL in Seattle 🤠 🥐 Ordered the Chicken Masala Tripod - just one was enough for lunch 😎 the filling of the pod was so good. This one reminds me of the rolls on Indian streets 🎯 Please go and try! Also a recommendation will be to place a pick up order, they are usually crowded.

Had chicken roll from this truck. And I got food poisoning , vomiting and diarrhea for 4-5 days. The chicken is not well cooked . The taste is not that great

Rolls are great, with a wide variety of choices in fillings. I definitely recommend them; they are absolutely worth the price.

The rolls are absolutely delicious! We ordered Doordash and it came well-packaged. The food was fresh, which is not always the case for delivery orders. I couldn't decide which roll to order, so I got one of each: chicken, paneer, mushroom, and aloo. My favorite is the chicken roll and aloo roll. Both were full of great flavors and came with a generous amount of protein and veggies. The roti was also delicious. It's dense and held everything in place so it wasn't messy to eat at all. Note that the mild spice level was actually pretty spicy for me. It wasn't a problem, but I definitely was not expecting something this spicy. I would recommend the rolls over pav bahji as it's not as flavorful as the rolls. Overall, I highly recommend this place. I would definitely come back for the chicken and aloo rolls!

This is a food truck that is very conveniently located a few minutes walk from where I live, and it is also located close to the Amazon land. Lunch always gets busy as I sometimes walk to office and spot this food truck on the way with long lines. Fortunately, they also allow online ordering so you can place the order ahead of time and pick up in person afterwards, instead of trying for the kiosks in person. I got the triple pod with chili chicken, paneer masala, and aloo gobi, as well as chicken half rice pod which is basically a small-medium sized rice dish that is enough for a light one meal. The pods were good - fairly healthy with generous amounts of vegetables, but not much of the actual fillings. The rice was also good, with a lot of sauce and some cilantro chutney, but you can also grab more to-go as part of the station where you grab napkins. Overall, decent spot, a bit on the pricy side, but popular due to proximity.

Gem! This is super close to work and I can't be more thankful! Love walking over to the truck and grabbing a roll pod or two every week. I've tried their aloo gobhi, paneer masala and chana masala roll pods and every one of them has been super satisfying and yum! The service is quick and they pack all orders in a togo box! I find that the single pod is in itself fulfilling and enough for a meal! They also have carrot halwa for dessert which can be skipped as it isn't the freshest that I've tried!

Coworker suggested this place as a must try so we went together to try it. The staff was nice, the service was fast, and the food truck looked clean. But that's about all I can say about the good. The roll that I got seemed ok. The filling was extremely lacking and at 13.95 for two it was not the best bang for your buck. Seemed very bloated with vegetables without a lot of protein which was part of what I ordered. Even the coworker we went with said it was not as good as it was before. Could be just a bad data point but I was not impressed.

My office is close to this food truck and I was craving Indian so I tried it. This is my review after visiting this place for two times. The staff is great but the food isn't. 1. Pav bhaji was good, but the quantity for the price is too low. 2. The egg in the roll is over cooked, making it rubbery. 3. Chicken isn't cooked well. 4. Food quantity for the price is low. 4. Chili paneer was sweet. Gave two stars because of the nice staff, pav bhaji and Chana masala. I wouldn't recommend this place and wouldn't come back again.

I've seen this truck around for years but never had it until recently. It's basically roti with a layer of egg and you can select from a variety of fillings. I tried the chicken tikka and saag paneer. Both were tasty, but the chicken was way more spicy than the paneer. The roti was fresh and crispy around the edges but the included slaw was too heavy on raw onions for me. I felt like I had onion breath all afternoon after lunch. Overall, a decent lunch choice. Each roll is on the small side, so you definitely need at least two to make it a meal.

Brilliant! Phenomenal curry flavors all wrapped in a go anywhere burrito-style wrap. Who could ask for anything more?! Get the chicken and chicken rolls, the paneer roll with Mango Lassi, anything really. You'll be happy you did....assuming you can handle the mid-day spice. It does not disappoint. Why 4 stars and not 5? This food truck suffers from its own success. You will be met with a long wait and occasionally have an over-stressed worker trying to meet the demands of the door dash'ers, mealpal'ers and grub grabbers all pushing to get to the front of the line. NOT their fault, but something to consider.

If you have never tried them then you are missing out! Please try them - the rolls or the rice bowl or the combo (to get the best of both worlds) and you will never regret it! We love their chicken rice bowl (honestly tastes like biryani) or even their chicken rolls.. their chutneys are just so awesome! Love it.. was lucky to find them right outside Ounces in West Seattle on a Tuesday night! wish there was a way to track their food truck so I could attend to my hunger cravings..will definitely keep coming back for more and more..

Lunch time dilemma, what do I eat? My lunch options are getting lame around where I work. How far do I want to walk is another factor. So I just walked down to Westlake Park to see what's up with the food truck scene there. Saw The Roll Pod truck, looked at their menu and a roti roll sounded good to me. I decided to get the "#1 Roll Pod" which is basically 2 roti rolls, you get to choose which filling you want: chicken, mushroom or paneer. I decided one chicken, one mushroom. It's pretty good sized, nicely prepared up, roti roll seems to be fresh as it was hot, nicely grilled up, kind of like a tortilla or a thicker crepe. The chicken filling was good, a little spicy and flavorful. The mushroom filling was my favorite, it was very flavorful, good amount of mushrooms, a little spicy, it goes well with the salad mix inside of the roti. I think I saw they mad mutton as a filling as well but I think that's a $1 more. Got me a Mango Lassi drank to wash it down and help kick that spiciness in my mouth, that was perfect accompaniment to my lunch. The menu has other combos for lighter lunches, roti roll & rice bowl, salad combo, you'll see it when you read the menu. Staff was friendly, took a few minutes or so to fix up your lunch order, prices are pretty standard for food trucks. Definitely will keep them on my radar to see when they come back to Westlake Park again.

I always get the chicken and paneer roll with egg and extra spice. They are as close as they come to the traditional rolls I've had.

What a wholesome meal! The rice pod has everything from rice to gravy to chutneys to paneer to salad to deliciousness!! Flexible pod combos - loved that! It was like a multi-cuisine (Indian Paneer Masala and Asian Paneer Chilli) experience in one meal - generous portions too! And their serving is so tidy and organised. A food truck delivering this experience deserves a 5-star!

Only go here in person if you want to wait 45+ min for your order while doordashers get prioritized

Tried this place for lunch and thought it was pretty good. It's a popular food truck so there is a bit of a wait unless you order ahead, in which I did :) I ordered the #2 chicken rice podand it was ready by the time I got there so that was nice. The dish came with rice, chicken in some kind of chutney sauce and another sauce I'm not sure of, some veggies, rice and two piece of fried egg. It was definitely a lot of food so a great deal for lunch. The chicken was tender and I like the sauce, it reminded me of the butter chicken dish you get at Indian restaurants. The egg was ok, a little bland so I added some salt and dip it in the sauce as well. Everything went well together and it has a balance. I wasn't a fan of the rice but that's because im picky about my rice so I'm not gonna deduct points on that. It was loose like whole grain rice and kind of light, not heavy or sticky like Asian rice. Overall, the food was good, price is reasonable, and service was fast.

These guys are awesome! My fiancé and I stumbled upon them on yelp and were so excited to see them in SLU. It was a dreary day and the lines were long so we knew it was good- the free chai was awesome to keep me warm in the rain, it wasn't overly sweet and it was cozy! He got the pav bahji which was delicious and I had two rolls- delicious with the egg and fillings- I think the aloo gobi mattar was better than the chicken but both were delicious. We ended up eating the food right on the side of the road we were so hungry and excited to eat it! On a day like that we might consider ordering ahead online so we can pick up rather than wait with all the other hungry lunch-ers. Today we went out in the pouring rain- we really loved the food yesterday so we wanted it again! There was no line this time and the food came quickly and was again delicious! We both got lassis this time and they were creamy and delicious- you could really taste the thick yogurt. We asked about dinner, they said they want to open a storefront soon, we will be there when they do! Great food, big portions, reasonable prices. Thanks roll pod for a great lunch!

When the roll pod rolls through, I'd recommend stopping by! The roll pod (2 rolls) is reasonably priced ($12) for a flavorful meal that hits the spot. I got the chana masala and mushroom masala, which were both fantastically spiced. I appreciate that there are a lot of veggies and components that pull the whole roll together. I got a 3/5 spice level, which was perfectly spicy without needing to gulp down gallons of ice water. Overall 5/5 - would definitely roll through again

New restaurant with not many reviews. However, I was instantly attracted to the concept of pods and curry. It blends so well together. The flavor of the curry with the chewy texture of the wrap is very memorable. The host are very kind and offer us samples of different kinds of curry to try next time. There is also homemade mango yogurt, which is an Indian treat that you cannot miss. Definitly give this place a shot!

This is one the best Places in Seattle for Indian food. Normally I'm very critical of Indian food because no 1: I'm an Indian (duh) and no2. I come from Texas and we have an awesome Indian scene there. But anyway, I was really impressed by the chicken and mutton rolls here. The rice bowl was pretty awesome too. The spice levels actually meant something here. Loved how strong the mint flavour was in the rolls and the meat was cooked so well! I get food from here quite often when I'm in Seattle now.

We ordered food from The Roll Pod for a staff party this week and were absolutely thrilled with the food and the customer service! I was tasked with ordering the catering for our staff party this week and wanted to get something that would "wow" our hard working team. I also wanted to make sure we had plenty of vegan and vegetarian options. Enter The Roll Pod. My request was very last minute but the staff at The Roll Pod were incredibly helpful and connected me directly with their owner, PK, who handles catering. PK walked me through ordering options and we ended up with an incredible spread that included chicken masala roti and chana masala roti as well as paneer masala and achaari aloo over rice. The food was perfectly spiced, incredibly tasty, and plentiful. After such a great experience, I know I will be back.

Pretty good flavors, for a food truck/fast food especially. Wasn't the best Indian or anything, but convenient walk and go rolls. I wish the rolls were slightly bigger. Skip the rice and get yourself two rolls. The chicken masala and paneer masala were our favorites. The mutton and aloo were second favorites. Mutton was not as gamey as I expected, similar to lamb. Spice level of 1 is still pretty spicy, so be careful if you're sensitive. My husband loves spicy food & felt that a 3 was enough for him, but wished he'd gotten a 4. He grew up on Mexican food though. No drinks offered on the menu, which I thought was odd.

Great food truck in SLU serving Kathi rolls. The #1 came with 2 rolls, so had the regular chicken and the potato, both with egg. Started with the chicken which was filling enough for lunch, so the potato became a mid-afternoon snack. They were richly spiced, some heat (I got the default lvl 3) and wrapped in a thick roti- pretty authentic flavors. The chicken was dark meat, the potato was fluffy, and both rolls had some greens & chutney mixed in. Will definitely return to try the other fillings and bowls. Good warming option for lunch as the weather gets chilly.

Woah! SO good! I was not expecting much out of this at first, but after my first bite I was left speechless. I ordered the paneer roll (2) where the paneer was juicy with perfect amount of spices and heat. I got two rolls and by the time I was 2 bites into the second roll, I was feeling pretty full! Parathas were not soggy, it was all fresh and put together. They had free chai for customers, however, when I got there around 12:45, it was already out, which would have been great addition to the chilly day.

I like this food truck and go there to grab lunch sometimes. I love their Paneer Rolls - they are delicious and fulfilling. I've also had Paneer Roll and Pav Bhaji conbo and it was good too. I also like that we can place order online on azzle.com and then just go to pick it up. The only thing I don't like is even their medium spicy level is spicy. I generally go for 4 stars at other restaurants but found 3 stars to be spicy here.

I have ordered the roll combination a couple of times and this time I had the Aloo Gobi and Aloo Roll. Aloo Roll is super yum which is what I usually order. It was on the spicy side with some cut jalapeños in it along with a green chutney. Aloo gobi rolls are usually never available/sold out before I can get to these. This time I was lucky ;) and now they are my new favorites! I would suggest going with medium spicy and taking some of the chutney boxes they have to adjust the spice level for you. Good place for a quick bite! Bon appetit!

This was one of the best lunches that I have had in a long time. Immensely flavorful and filling and unique. By far the best I have had reserved on MealPal. I just wish that the truck was parked more often in downtown and not SLU, because it is a trek for me to go there for lunch. The roti wraps are super delicious and perfectly executed. I had the paneer wrap and it was packed full of delicious items with every bite being insanely delicious. The curry chicken on salad that I got in addition as the combo meal had a great amount of spice and flavor to it and the chicken was so tender. I'm not usually that full after eating lunch and I was full for hours. Their food is honest and delicious and I love that they are not afraid to bring the heat. They definitely get a long line for their food which was why it was so good to order from MealPal.

I caught up with The Roll Pod at Westlake Park on a beautiful spring day. The line was longer than other trucks that day but I wanted to try a couple of things on the menu. As I stood in line, I had a hard time choosing what I wanted. I love roti but also wanted to try their rice. Luckily, they have the Combo Pod for $9.99. You get half a roll and half a bowl which is exactly what I wanted! You get to choose a different filling for each so it's a great way to sample a few things. Service was friendly but efficient and the food came out at a decent pace for the size of the crowd. They offer mango lassi or free chai for beverages but I didn't want either of those. They didn't seem to sell other drinks. The roll is roti filled with a fried egg, salad, green chutney, and lemon juice. I chose lamb as my filling. I loved the bit of crunch from the warm, hearty roti. The lamb, at three stars was pleasantly spicy but not overly so. After finishing it, I was kind of full but I was "in it to win it" so I moved on to the bowl. The rice bowl had fried rice with tomato gravy, salad, green chutney, lemon juice, and a fried egg. For this one, I chose paneer because I'm a huge fan. The rice had good texture and was flavored well. Although I got this at three stars, it seemed like it was two stars but still flavorful. Both the roll and the bowl tasted good. I'd love to visit again and try more of the menu!

I went to Terry and republican food truck. The staff is friendly and the food is decent. I took the chicken Kathi roll and pav bhaji combo. Pav bhaji : overall seemed lacking on spices and salt but the pav was nice and crispy. Chicken roll : was actually kind of bland, kind of disappointing. Three stars because my friend actually liked her alloo roll though she shared my sentiments on the pav bhaji.

Ordered a chicken masala roll instead of paneer chilli. I called Roll Pod and requested them to change the order, but they said the order was already prepared. However, the lady who picked up the call sent an extra paneer chilli which was very kind of her. The rolls were amazing too.

Great food, fast service. In one sentence "Value for Money". Finally tasted the Kolkata roll in US; felt very authentic.

I ordered the #1 Combo which comes with two rolls. I ordered it with chicken, substitutes with the wheat rotis, and asked for them to be spicy. The price is $9.99, and it must've been extra for the wheat roti or spiciness because the total came to $11.55. The rolls aren't that big, and not a lot of filling, but very flavorful. The roti had really good texture and thickness, and had a thin layer of egg baked on the inside. They had a drink dispenser offering free chai tea, although I didn't see any cups, unless you are supposed to ask them for it.

I've had really good rolls elsewhere, including in India, but I'm pretty disappointed with my order. The rolls were on the smaller side. I asked for a milder spice level when I ordered on DoorDash, but it was still fairly spicy, especially the mushroom one. The level of spice and seasoning was very heavy handed, and the little bit of lettuce wasn't enough to balance it. I feel like there is something that's missing in the rolls. If you eat really spicy Indian food on a regular basis, you might enjoy it more than I did, but I'm just not impressed.

Tried the aloo gobi mattar and Mushroom. Both were pretty good. Having tried all veggie fillings I would rate them as follows 1. Aloo gobi mattar 2. Mushroom 3. Aloo 4. Paneer Though I am sure paneer and aloo would be most popular. Chai was awesome as always. :)

Such a worst place. Felt really disappointed as the truck was not parked at john st. Took a long time for delivery too. mushroom roll is worth tying here. Spice levels are apt for Indians. Others choose 1-2.

I'm very picky about where I eat Indian food outside, this truck is one of the places I eat at 1+ times a week. The rolls (a.k.a. frankies) at this truck are legit. It reminds me of the rolls I used to eat in Mumbai. They also occasionally keep Indian tea a.k.a. chai. PS: I've never had the rice or salad bowls because I like the rolls but my friends say that's also good.

The one thing I dislike about Seattle is there are not a ton of Indian food options here - in Bellevue yes but not so much in Seattle proper. This food truck, however, is one of the few decent options, perfect for lunch (literally only perfect for lunch since that's the only time they're open and around). I got two Kati rolls, one chicken and one mutton, and both were excellent. The chicken and mutton were both tender and juicy and there were enough veggies in there to balance things out. I've had Kati rolls where the meat is all dry and chunky so to be able to bite right through this was truly one of life's greatest delights. The spice was also well done and not overpowering (ie I won't feel it too much the next morning ). Given the fact that this is basically right next to where I work and there wasn't too much of a line (granted I went right before peak hours) I'll probably be eating here quite often to the detriment of my health. But it is what it is. My only call out - google maps does not have the correct address for where the truck is. It's on republican St not on Boren (or maybe it moves around - either way don't trust google maps on the location, look them up elsewhere). 5 star Sriview, a perfect lunch spot. I am screwed.

Vegetarians beware!! I don't usually post reviews but this is absolutely unacceptable. I ordered for aloo/ paneer combo roll but was handed chicken roll. Its very disappointing for someone who has been vegetarian all life.

My god. This is it. Kathi rolls are the food I never knew I needed in my life. And the Roll Pod is superb. The egg coated wrap is perfect and the interior is up to you. You can choose two fillings and I've had the chicken as well as the paneer. Both are great. There are a number of vegetarian options. If I see this truck parked I'm going and you should too.

The mutton roll is simply mind blowing and the green chutney just keeps getting better. Good news is that these guys will be having more than 1 truck and more items on their menu in the coming week! Minor feedback - Personally, I do not like the lettuce and carrots in my rolls.

This is the lunch truck dive you're looking for: the price/bite ratio is excellent, the flavor and spice compound further than the competition, service is fast, and the guilt level is reasonably low on top of all that! The Roll Pod has been a Meal Pal staple for me for months. The lines of Amazonians can build up at peak lunch time - these guys aren't going out of business.

We love The Roll Pod. My now wife and I were looking for food trucks for our wedding. We did some research and came across The Roll Pod. We came to the Bellevue store to see what they had and were blown away. The food is awesome. We brought some friends, everyone ordered something different and we got to sample a little bit of everything. Everything was great. You can't go wrong. A few months before the wedding, I was responsible of sourcing lunch for a business function. I reached out to The Roll Pod for a catering option. They worked with me and put together a menu that would have enough variety in spice level and vegetarian/protein options to please a crowd. Everyone in our office loved them. The Roll Pod did an amazing job with everything prepared on time. Kati rolls are a great catering option. They travel well and even people not familiar with Kati rolls love them. For our wedding, it was great working with The Roll Pod. It was easy to setup and pay invoicing, etc. The truck was punctual and very easy to work with. The crew was very sharp and able to handle the large crowd in a very timely and efficient way. We had 3 food trucks at our wedding. By far, we got the most rave reviews from guests about The Roll Pod.

This was BOMB-Diggy!!!! Hands down one of best food trucks i have ever eaten at in THE NW. #UniqueFoodTruck The Staff is full of Awesome Sauce... I will be your poster Princess and let everyone of my Expedia peeps and beyond... LadyE110(Erika)

If you like spicy and/or Indian food, this place is delicious. I have liked everything I have tried: Chicken masala roll Achaari fish roll Achaari aloo roll Pav-bhaji

The roll is always good no matter chicken, paneer etc. Fan of that grilled tortilla bread (the best way to serve tortilla!), slightly crispy so I can taste the goodness of the flour. Like the spice, curry but not too heavy. Self serve free chai tea!

Fantastic! Delicious! I can't praise this place enough. 10 stars for the Roll Pod! The rolls are extremely flavorful when ordering the 5 stars spicy beware cause they will have a kick that's perfect!

The Roll Pod serves one of the best Kathi Rolls in the Seattle area. Having been an occassional visitor to the food truck from work, I recently reached out to them for a party order for my kids' birthday party. PK was super helpful with our order, with on-time delivery and great packaging. The food was really amazing and convenient. All our guests had high praise for the rolls, and asked us about it. Their range from mild to spicy, and with and without egg was also great. We had other items from other caterers, but the rolls were the most favoured out of the lot.

A great quick service food truck serving up some Indian street food. I loved the flavors of my pod but wish they filled it up a little more. For the price you are paying (and expectations of a lunch to fill you up), it didn't quite hit the spot for me. Don't get me wrong though, the food and flavors itself are excellent. I just wish they gave you more for what you are purchasing. I wish they came downtown! My first time was trying it in SLU on a day I wasn't working during the weekday. Those are not very common for me, so I probably won't be able to eat here for awhile :/

Do not understand why this place is so popular or why it has such a rave reviews. Went here during a hectic lunch hour so the lines were long... we got the lamb roll, chicken roll and aloo roll. 20 mins later, our food finally came and we were extremely unimpressed. Soggy undercooked Parathas (which promised to be crispy and delicious), chunks of dry and uninspired meat in the lamb and poorly flavored potato in the aloo and random vegetables like carrot and radish in the roll itself (you will never find these in an authentic roll). Definitely not worth the $24 we spent or the time in the line.

Amazing Indian food truck. I tried combo with a roll and half riceWith delicious fillings. My favorite is paneer and mushroom. Also tried mango lassi, it's yummmm.

MMMMMMMMM! disclaimer: The gentleman that sold me my roll combo asked me to leave a Yelp review and gave me a free mango lassi. That being said, the roll I had, with chicken, was super fresh tasting, spicy as I ordered it 3/5, and extremely tasty! I had the Paav Bhati combo and that was good as a side, although I do not think the dinner roll is the best accompaniment personally. I suppose I'd rather have the Paav with rice or salad. Overall I cannot say I've tasted better Indian flavors in SLU, even if their menu is not full of curries and what not. Granted, I know very little about what an authentic roll pod tastes like, but seems like the others on here who do think this place is legit. My mouth would agree with them.

Excellent choice of kathi rolls. Loved the complimentary tea! Paneer roll was good, but their achari aloo one was great. Achaari aloo is a must try
