Filli Cafe

This place is quite cute inside and a really large space, which makes a great place to hangout or study. I only had the chance to try the FiLLi Zafran tea because my friend had raved about it and she wasn't lying when she said it was really good. The saffron in it was so good, not overpowering the tea flavor. It kinda reminded me of ras malai. I'll have to come back to try more items for sure! Also, just an fyi but the parking here is limited and this area can get quite packed.

great cafe! the staff is always very friendly and helpful and the food is honestly great. Everything I've tried has been 10/10 but the samosa chaat is 12/10. overall excellent environment, friendly service, great menu choices. will def be back!

The ambience & furniture is nice, but maybe we should've stuck with their desi food. The chicken Z burger is made with the Louisiana fish fry mix I think. Not the typical American chicken sandwich. They charge an extra dollar to put seasoning on your fries btw. The Zafron tea is pretty good.

What a fun place to get Indian snacks and chai! If you are a fan of chai, this is your place. We tried the signature filli tea and Zafran chai tea, both are amazing: smooth, creamy, and perfectly balanced with the sweetness and the chai spice. The caffeine content is strong, it will keep you energized and awake for a long time. We also tried the snacks: the Strawberry Rose Cake. It's like Indian version of tres leches cake, soaked in pink milk, topped with pistachio and rose flower petals. It's delicate and soft, highly recommend eating the cake there. Papdi chaat: first time trying chaat. It is so interesting, it has chickpeas, chutney, cold creamy yogurt and topped with crunchy sev. It is spicy, but worth it to try! There's plenty of seating inside, staff is nice and friendly. Service is kinda slow, waited 20-25 minutes for our order. Can't wait to come back and try other fun snacks here again. There's an Indian market next door, it's fun to walk around the store and grab additional treats afterwards.

The Keema Foodles is keema curry mixed with linguine and topped with fried garnishes and fresh chopped green onions. It reminded me of a slightly spicy beef taco mixed with linguine. It comes in a pint container that resembles an ice cream container. The masala chai (medium sweet) was okay. I think I prefer the saffron tea. If the place is slightly busy, the staff may ask you to wait to get your order in as they're busy fulfilling the previous orders.

I have been here twice, first time was in the evening, and second time was early as soon as the restaurant opened. Both visits we received excellent customer service. The entire staff is very pleasant and helpful.The ambiance is great, no tacky decor which is a plus. An abundance of seating which is really nice. As for the food, I have tried: Samosa chaat (not a fan, was served cold and a little too watered down), karak chai (excellent), mango dragon fruit lemonade (delicious), and the chicken sliders (presentation was picture perfect and taste was great. I understand the sizing of a slider, but I just felt like the actual piece of chicken to bun ratio was a little off. It didn't ruin anything for me, just something I noticed). I will definitely continue to be a repeat customer. I hope this franchise thrives in Houston and hopefully makes its way to other big cities like NY.

I place 2 order to go but they taste horrible very salty and very tangy, i was not expecting this bad food from filli i spent $33 for both and would like to get refund, i love their noodles and shake and thought their other items would be good but sorry to say horrible

My friend wanted to try this cafe, and I'm glad she found it! The cafe is decorated very nicely and has a lot of seating.We ordered an Iced Zafran Chai (10/10!), Kunafa (nice subtle sweetness), Samosa Chaat (VERY SPICY for me), Spiced Zafran Pouch (a little too sweet for me), and Aloo Paratha (potato filling, spicy and crispy, would definitely order again). Their prices are reasonable and they have an extremely extensive menu. The staff also answered our questions about the menu and helped us choose what to order. The wait time was a bit long (20-25 min), but it was a nice place to catch up with a friend. In the future, I would love to try their shakes and the Desi Bread Masala Omelette.

I tried the food on a visit home (note this was take out and not dine in) and it was all delicious! I can only imagine in person!We had the chicken schezwan noodles, aloo tikki sliders and chicken samosas. All very tasty! I'd definitely give it a try.

Wonderful environment and service! I love the lotus pouch drink (not pictured) and today I tried the schezwuan chicken foodles and was not disappointed!! They are the right amount of spicy and I couldn't wait to eat them that is why I have already ate half of it in the picture.
