About Us
What Sets Alijandro's Apart
We get a lot of attention
Meet Samer,
Alijandro's Founder
I’m Samer Khatib, the founder of Alijandro’s.
Thank you for your interest in owning an Alijandro’s Franchise!
I have always had this dream of creating food that makes people happy, something to challenge their senses, and keeps them craving more. Alijandro’s is that dream, and the legacy I want to share with you.
I look forward to getting to know you and hopefully having you join us a franchise partner.
All I can say is keep dreaming, because anything is possible!
Alijandro's Story
Alijandro’s story begins in 15th-century Haifa, Palestine. At 16, Ali-Yousef joined the Ottoman army, bringing his father’s love of food and spices. In Constantinople, he opened a food cart, blending Palestinian flavors with Turkish tastes. His bold use of spices made him popular, eventually earning him a spot as personal chef to Sultan Murad III. But after falling for the Sultan’s daughter, he was exiled to war. Escaping in Spain, he settled in Valencia, where he fused Middle Eastern and Spanish flavors. Using local ingredients and cocoa, he created new culinary delights that reflected his journey and passion.
Alijandro's Flavours
From the moment someone walks into an Alijandro’s location they should feel as though they are on a culinary adventure. We call it ;
“Culinary Culture Shock”.
Shocking people with our flavors, innovation, and great customer service experience is what makes us Alijandro’s Kitchen. It is the key to our success and what will guarantee this brands in growth.

Training & Support
We provide an extensive two week in-store training program for new franchisees and their management team at one of Alijandro’s corporate stores. Two weeks of staff training begins during a franchisee’s soft launch at the franchisee’s location, two weeks prior to grand opening. Our Franchise Trainers also present and provide launch support for two weeks post-grand opening, at which point the restaurant is assigned a Regional Business Coach for dedicated ongoing support.
Once you become an Alijandro’s Kitchen franchise owner, our team is here to support you with every aspect of operating your franchise business. We provide support in the areas of Real Estate, Construction, Training, Marketing, Operations, and Purchasing.
Alijandro’s Menu
We believe the only way to become the best at something, is to commit to excellence with laser guided focus. Gone are the days of pages upon pages of menu, uncontrollable waste, and back breaking payroll.
We put a lot of attention and detail into every nuance of the products we serve:
• Each Fawaffle is hand-rolled and baked fresh.
• Our dough is Gluten-free and vegan and uses just 32, all-natural ingredients
• All of our sauces, toppings, proteins, and seasonings are made from scratch.
• All of our menu items are hand crafted to perfection using our unique system. Consistency and efficiency are the by-products of this system and the key to our success.
We have invested everything into creating this core menu with such diverse flavors, dietary inclusive, and most importantly… lots of love. Best of all, it is completely customizable with thousands of possible combinations, out of an itty-bitty footprint and a handful of manageable products.
We have designed a simple menu with options for everyone.
We offer gluten-free, vegan, halal options as much as the flavorful beef and chicken options. We allow customers to make substitutions and customize their order with fillings, toppings and sauces.
Delicious, fast, quality food

The Famous Fawaffle
Loaded Chips & Dips
Mindblown!
“I tried their Al Pastor Chicken Tacos with extra avocado at the Ontario College Information Fair and I was mindblown. The truck had quite a line eagerly awaiting to order. The service was a bit slow but it was worth the wait. The chicken had a lot of flavor and their zesty garlic cream was the cherry on top for a glorious set of tacos. The truck staff was cheerful, patient and accomodating. I also liked that they used what seemed to be very thin pitas instead of tortillas for the tacos. This kept them from falling apart and made the meal quite filling.”
Oh My!
“We got to enjoy this DELICIOUS food at the Burlington Food Truck festival – oh my it was great! The flavour combinations are mouthwatering, not too spicy and had me ordering extras (even though the portions were fairly generous).”
My Favorite Spot!
“This place is officially becoming one of my favorite spot in Mississauga! Their signature box is so delicious I love the crunchy chickpeas on top! Every time I go there’s staff is also super warm and really friendly. My boyfriend and I went to get dinner and the staff there gave us recommendations for what to order and we were able to get our food ASAP. There are garlic and cilantro sauce is AMAZING, I could eat it forever! It’s clear that they make their food with love and I would recommend this restaurant to anybody!!”
