Spice Waala

⚠️ THIS IS NOT A BEST OF LIST ⚠️
For a while we've been asked where we eat and what our favorite spots are in Seattle so we wanted to share. In the spirit of the World Cup - here's our starting line-up of restaurants we like to eat at! ⚽

Caveat: Keep in mind that our list is based on living in South Seattle, the fact that we have younglings, and getting to know people through the industry.

🥯 Rachel's in Ballard is our go-to - the burritos are fantastic also but we get bagels for the team from here
🥐 After discovering Pufftown, Pike Place trips have increased a lot and our collab was 👌🏽
🍽️ Homer is the place we always take visitors; consistently great flavors
🥡 If you want Chinese food that is simple & comforting then Tai Tung, and if you want something different then Chiho hits the spot
🌮 The local taco truck at the nearest gas station is fantastic, and Carnitas Michocan is a perfect alternative
🍜 The Ooink above QFC is where we used to eat between working doubles when we first started Spice Waala
🍕 How fortunate are we to have both Stevie's & AK within 5 min drive 🙏🏽
🐟 La Marea flavors are so interesting and unique - I wish we lived closer
🍜 We've known the Brothers since we started our business and couldn't be happier that they found a home and are serving amazing food
🥖 South Side has more Banh Mi places that you can count so we rotate between Q's, Tonys & Thien Phat
🍔 When we crave a burger we make our pilgrimage to Queen Anne for Big Max

Special mention...
Yalla Seattle & us unfortunately have very similar hours so it's tough to get there but what they do for the community is nothing short of amazing
Stateside used to be our special occasion restaurant - it gutted us when they closed
Suli Man is worth going to, often
Kamonegi Seattle is a restaurant that is so unique - it's difficult to take kids there in the small space otherwise it would be on our list
San Fernando on Rainier was a weekly meal for us till they closed
Pho Bac on Rainier was also a weekly meal till they changed the recip

Tag your go-to list so we can try new places and you can share your ❤️ for your favorites.

To all the wonderful fathers who are the best mattresses, the best playmates and the ones who teach us to take risks, be strong and believe in ourselves - Happy Fathers Day.

Ameya and Ishani wouldn't give up their own personal mattress for anything 😁😴.
