Seattle has nothing in the way of jewish delis.
as for hot and spicy, my top recommendation would be Janny's Curry House
on 45th street. They offer a number of great soups and traditional
curries, but their house curry is the best. their 5 star actually has a
punch.
2 thai restaurants are worth noting: Thai Tom is a hole in the
wall by UW that serves the best thai I've had in the city. you can ask
for higher than 5 stars- I've gotten up to 15. The best thai in the whole
area is right by the airport, Bai Tong. it was started by thai airlines
employees, and offers a wide variety of traditional thai dishes.
Everything I've had there is great.
There's a place called wing dome around here that speciallizes in
mediocre but hot food. The 5 alarm wings are strong and habanero based,
and the 6 alarms are covered with mainly hab seeds. I've had tastier
wings, but if you're looking for heat, they deliver.
Paseos is a carribean grill that serves excellent food with a
kick. They seemed to have toned down their overall heat level as of late,
but they offer a delicious fresh had salsa.
you can find addresses, hours, and maps to all of the above places (and
just about any other recommendations you get) at seattle.sidewalk.com
