Very tasty and well made fried chicken, not oily at all.They have spicy levels to choose from.The prices are so reasonable compared to the quality and quantity.The waffle with fried chicken was a new thing to try, but not a wow for me.What I didn't like is the small dining area, that is why most people take orders to go.

The most deliciously seasoned chicken, waffles and fries that I have ever had! Service was great. Staff was friendly. If I lived here, I would definitely have to visit several times a month. Mom’s Tea was also delicious!

Best fried chicken I've ever had. The fries OMG, so delicious. Highly recommend the chicken and waffles with the Ali sauce. The spiciness goes really well with the waffle. Combo #3 can be shared.

The food was bomb, got the chicken and waffle sandwich, it was spicy, not too spicy ?, just right!!They even through in an extra piece of chicken, also the Mac n cheese was bomb, I always try Mac n cheese wherever it's on the menu, will be eating there again for sureThe prices are reasonable too!!Give it a try you won't be disappointed...

Ali's fried chicken...mmmmmmm goodness! It's the proverbial hole in the wall that packs that fried chicken yumminess! Crunchy batter and juicy meat inside the original chicken sandwich! All in a buttery brioche bun! The spicy chicken is topped with thai chili oil so it gives a good kick!Ali's fries, wow! Seasoned fries with either chicken or shrimp topped with the famous Ali sauce! What a wonderful experience!

Good customer service and the food was delicious ?. Will be coming back.

Wow my husband and my new favorite spot! He got a chicken and waffle combo and I got the chicken sandwich with waffles as the bread and it was a perfect meal. Can’t wait to try more things on the menu. We love that the chicken is halal as well. We ordered delivery through door dash around lunch time and it arrived very quickly.

Always have a great experience at this restaurant and enjoy trying new items on the menu. Friendly and sweet service. Ali's shrimp and fries is my favorite.

Good food and good service. Had Brunch with my family

First time here and only good things to say about this place. The menu is small and straightforward. The employee taking the orders was friendly and patient. I got the chicken, waffle, and fries combo. The waffle was really good with the coconut syrup and the chicken with the "Ali sauce" was fire. The Chipotle mayo sauce was good but I liked the Ali sauce more. I also enjoyed the Thai tea with coconut milk. The portions and prices are good too. It shares a space with a donut place. It's kind of small so you might end up taking it to go. Everything was really great and I will be returning!
