"My flight got delayed and the driver who knew this place next to the mamzar beach brought me here especially for Zafran Tea.. and it was good. Sandes served us and he was good to talk to. They have nice options for food. It's a little market close to the beach, very peaceful and also an old iconic place for people who know where to come for relaxation.. and it's not expensive at all plus the view and vibe of the place."

"I liked the Zafaarani Tea as small cup is on 7 dhs. It will be so good if we find mire small wiyh more less price whis is not available so far. Service is too professional. There is no separate space for families to sit it there and enjoy. Cash and cards both facilities are available. They alao sell loose tea packets 28 dhs normal tea and 38 dhs Zafaarani tea."

"Filli’s Cutting Chai is an absolute delight! The tea is perfectly brewed — strong yet creamy, with a subtle hint of saffron that makes it uniquely aromatic. The small glass cup feels just right for a quick, satisfying tea break. It pairs wonderfully with snacks or can be enjoyed on its own. Definitely a must-try for anyone craving authentic Dubai-style chai!”"

"Filli Cafe is located near Mamzar Cornish(3 minutes walkable distance). They have wide range of dishes and Drinks that is not Limited to Cookies, Burger's, Parata Rolls, Fresh Juices, Milk Shakes, Quessdillas, Wraps, Momos, Foodles, Club sandwiches, Lassi other than just Saffron Chai. Pls refer to the pics of menu I have uploaded here to plan you meal accordingly. Cost is a bit on moderate level. But taste of the dishes are worth the money we pay for. They have indoor and out door dining facilities. Normally we get take away from here and sit and eat it at Mamzan Cornish. It's an amazing spot. Must visit spot for foodies"

"Amazing place. Great ambience and most importantly the quality of tea and sandwiches. I don't think I will ever get someone as good who can make Zafrani Tea like they do. It just mind blowing. The music player is lively and during the weekends you will find a crowd that is very happening. I am glad that even India has this brand now."

"Went there on 18/10/2025 The staff was super nice and helpful! He assisted me with my order (it’s my first time here) and even shared Wi-Fi from his phone. I ordered too much for myself and couldn’t finish it — he kindly helped pack up the leftovers"

"Update: Two days ago, I tried their Mutton Bun Kabab and OMG guys, you have to try it out!! The taste is absolutely delicious and it’s served with potato poppers. Also tried their Spicy Chicken Momos (deep fried, not pan seared) - the filling was delicious but don’t go for the fried option. You cant mention Kadak and not think about FiLLi. With humble origins, the cafe chain has gone on to establish itself as the pioneers of the Kadak Chai. It's been ages since I've last been to FiLLi, and even then, I've only been there for tea. I ended up at the Mamzar branch over the weekend. The interiors are small, with only a single table available indoors, but plenty of eating is available outside. Being a busy night time spot with the local patrons with a number of cafes along the stretch it is at times hard to find parking in the area, especially on the weekends. The service is great and so is the staff. We ordered a few drinks and some snacks. The peach ice tea in particular was refreshing, with just the right amount of sweetness to it. The butter chicken samosa was something different and something i will surely try again. With the weather now improving, its a great place to visit with friends. Going to head back again this weekend to try out their Bun Kabab (new addition to the menu)."

"I first tried Filli Café at Sharjah Airport and really liked it, so I decided to visit again and explore the menu in a more relaxed setting. I’ve tried almost all their chais, and my favorites are definitely the Zafran Chai and the Maska Bun. The only thing I’ve noticed is that the taste of the Maska Bun isn’t always consistent across different branches, but the chai never disappoints. I now visit Filli quite often and always enjoy their tea!"
