I passed by this spot multiple times and finally decided to give it a try. I got the doubles and added the pepper sauce. For only curry chickpeas and roti this was really good. For $2 each it's pretty filling. The service was not bad and the restaurant is pretty spacious. I would've never thought that chickpeas would taste so good like this. If you want the extra kick add the pepper sauce. I had the doubles 2 days in a row.

I ordered a shrimp roti and it was THE freshest I've ever had!! So good! There was a line in the shop that moved quickly. The servers were courteous and swift. This is a dine in restaurant but i took my food to go. The restaurant was spacious and clean. I can't wait to go back and order the roti again.

Let me start by saying the line is long. Once you try some doubles or the Roti, you'll understand why. I elected for the Beef Roti and doubles, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. They do NOT skimp on the meat or Channa. The place is spacious and has great music in the background, so it makes you want to stick around. The only thing I would want to add to my food is more pepper sauce or Mango Amchar. I'll be back to try more items on the menu.

Although they were out of some things at the time of my late arrival, this turned out to be a welcome development since I got to try a vegetarian combo. The soy chunks provided a deft impersonation of meat, with spinach offering a more traditional vegetable performance. I also enjoyed the potatoes and chickpeas, but someday I'll show up earlier for the doubles. The service was delightful and the music was intriguing (unfortunately that Air Supply cover didn't turn up on Shazam).

I had a music video shoot call time of 6:00. Got there, but decided to wait until 7:45 since it is a night shoot. I asked for a good place to get some food. I was directed to Ali's First thing I do is look at the cleanliness of a business. As soon as I walk into a place, I check out how clean it is and I always look at where the food is at. The food was well presented and it wasn't sloppy and food all over the place. Everything look neat and clean. I also make a quick rundown of the workers. I look at their outfits. Are They wearing gloves and so on. The food was well presented and the staff answered questions. She even when it's far to ask if that what I chose looked good. It did. . The person in front of me ordered rice and chicken with macaroni pie on the side. When he got to the counter, the man didn't realize the macaroni pie was part of his order. He told him don't worry about it just put it in the bag. I thought that was super cool. I paid for my order and asked if he had any non-carbonated drinks because everything in the cooler look like soda. He gave me a drink for free from behind the counter. There's a fountain there. Again super cool. Especially as a first time patron, this is a wonderful memory I ordered pasta with curry chicken on top. It was good. Not very spicy and not very salty. A lot of times these places drown their food with salt. It tasted good and I left none. I got roti skin with it, because how can you eat this without roti skin of course. The roti skin was warm and soft all the way through. Every bite was a delight. I almost definitely hit this place up again when I'm in a neighborhood. It is now on my list!

My mouth is watering just thinking about the chicken roti that I got from Ali's. When I walked up to the shop someone was blasting Caribbean and R&B mixes and was singing at the top of their lungs. Not gonna lie the mix was fire and I'm kind of sad I didn't ask for a copy. When I walked into Ali's it smelled sooo good... and they thankfully still had a lot of options left. I got their chicken roti with potatoes. They definitely don't skimp on the portion sizes so I was able to eat this as two meals. I also got a banana cola and mmhm mhhm, I could eat here everyday. I can't wait to go back and try their veggie roti. Note: They accept cards however they up charge you to run your card (flat rate of $1) so bring cash if you can.
