Stepping foot into Spice Waala, with locations in both Capitol Hill and Ballard, sets future travel dreams in motion, thanks to the space's welcoming vibes and mesmerizing aromas that waft down nearby sidewalks. Owners Aakanksha Sinha and Uttam Mukherjee aim to create, what they call: "Authentic (to us) Indian Street Food," bringing the magical flavors of India directly to Seattle diners. The eatery's meat offerings get marinated for 36 hours and then grilled, and a signature green chutney makes everything taste especially delightful. When ordering your takeaway treats, be sure to try the papdi chaat (Indian nachos), aloo tiki and lamb kebab rolls ("Calcutta-style," A.K.A. with an egg on top), and mango lassi or masala chai beverages. New soft serve dessert additions mean that Indian-inspired flavors will now be in constant rotation, too.
