About Us

  • To find San Diego's favorite new chicken and waffles spot, look for Ali's Chicken & Waffles located in City Heights, San Diego. Ali’s Chicken & Waffles leases the back counter of Donut Star, serving a halal rendition of the famous pairing alongside shrimp and grits and fried chicken sandwiches. 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 wanted to launch the Ali’s Chicken brand. His chicken is seasoned in a blend of three flours, with a spicy option heated by Thai chilis. Visit Ali’s Chicken & Waffles today for Dine-in, Takeout, or Delivery!
