  We got this place on a time crunch right before a flight. It was amazing. I had the grilled chicken sandwich with Ali sauce. It was slightly spicy and super tender. We parked on the street and walked a few blocks to get this to go. Food came out pretty fast. The restaurant offers free water cups which was nice. Unfortunately when we went they were out of fries. But the chicken was entirely worth it!

  I from Louisiana (live in Texas) currently out here to celebrate Mother’s Day with my daughters. Staying at the Sofia hotel hungry.. like what will I eat. Googled and found this place. My daughter was like mom that’s not a good place to go eat on Mother’s Day lol. I’m just trying to relax and eat good b4 I fly out! The lady at the counter was sooo nice and helpful. There was one lady in the kitchen so I was a bit skeptical 😂🤷🏾‍♀️ the reviews were good though, so I was like ok fine. Babe when that food came out it was Soooo good. I had the Thai chicken and waffles with the Ali sauce & my daughter had the shrimp & waffles! We bust that food down!! That chicken was seasoned to perfection and spicy like I like it. If your not use to spicy foods lol don’t try that spicy Thai but it was Amazing!! When I’m back in San Diego this is on my list again!

  This place was great, I enjoyed my chicken sandwiches. Fries were overcooked but they were in a rush and I didn't go for the fries. I would go back and try more on the menu! Give it a try and enjoy!

  The food was excellent. The aroma alone was enough to awaken your appetite even before the first bite. Presentation was impressive, clearly reflecting careful preparation and attention to detail. Everything tasted fresh and perfectly crisp. The sauces, especially the coconut sauce and Ali’s special sauce added an extra layer of flavor that elevated the entire experience. The staff were warm and welcoming, providing excellent service throughout. One of the servers, a hijabi sister, stood out for her kindness and attentiveness, making the dining experience even more pleasant.
