This is my comfort meal. Anything they make is 10/10. My son loves the combo with chicken and fries. I get the spicy chicken sandwich with extra Ali's sauce on the side. Their sambusa is delicious...

San Diegos favorite soul food has a new location- Alis Chicken & Waffles is now open in Downtown San Diego. From its beginnings in the back counter of Donut Star, Alis Chicken and Waffles is bringing the same flavor that the city has grown to love to their new spot, serving a halal rendition of the famous pairing alongside shrimp and grits, fried chicken sandwiches, and more. Ali, the Ethiopia-born entrepreneur recalls the impression waffles made on him as a young immigrant first arriving in a San Diego school. By the time he earned a business degree from San Diego State, he and a friend decided to launch the Alis Chicken brand. His chicken is seasoned in a blend of three flours, with a spicy option heated by Thai chilis.
