My jumeirah beach visit is incomplete without having filli tea , the staff is super friendly, i find saffron tea much sweeter than the regular tea so if you are someone who doesn’t like their tea too sweet then go for the regular one. Overall it’s the best tea and snacks shop in that beach area.

And the good thing about filli is that everything is at reasonable price.
Quality and quantity both are good.
Fries, warps, club, burgers everything is good.
Ambiance was also good

With the climate changing, evenings are very pleasant. A hot cup of tea with friends seems to be a must on weekends. We normally go to Filli to have their famous Zafrani tea. Its very soothing to have such tea especially in the evenings.

Situated on Kite Beach overlooking the Burj Al Arab, I completely love this Filli branch for Chai and quick bites. 
This tiny little filli doesn't have any tables and chairs, just take aways. You take your little parcels and settle on the nearby benches and tables at the beach. 
Basically enjoy an amazing cup of tea from Filli's with a great view and atmosphere. 
Don't forget to nibble on a Chocolate cookie. They are just awesome! 

P. S - It's open for late night drives too!

The tea with a view. I love it. The little samosas with the imli chutney tamarind sauce and the breeze and the beach and the waves. The zafrani karak is a favorite. Love it.

I tried most of the menu ... the blue storm is just refreshing in summer ... the fries ... sambosak are the best in winter ... their casacada ... I came hundred of times and will come millions again 😊

Always been a fan of zaafrani chai from filli.. It’s a must have when you’re visiting this area. The location is great as it’s on the beach. The service is tad bit slow as there’s always a queue for ordering. But overall really like filli.

Very beautiful location to be there and enjoy the nice Zafran Tea and some lip smacking snacks.
Tea at this place is quite good along wid samosa, vadapav or chicken grill sandwich. You can also find some good milkshakes as well.
Do visit when you are in Dubai to enjoy the beach and Tea.

This place is our go to place for that mid night Chai on the beach side. Zaffran Chai has got that peculiar taste, that no Karak chai can beat across Dubai. Best thing about this cafe is its location on the Kite Beach. It is on the peaceful side of the Kite Beach, wherein you can take the hot Zaffran Chai and just roam around on the beach in the chilly, windy nights.

A double pinch of saffron differentiates the Karak Chai at Filli from everyone else’s. It’s the perfect reward after a long walk along Kite Beach on a windy, chilly winter’s day.

It's very rear in Dubai to get very cold climate but if we will get definitely we want to enjoy with hot Tea .. on kite beach it's really enjoyable to have Filli Zaafran Tea .. I like Filli Zaafran very much .. Strong aroma of saffron and Cardamom in hot milk tea is very nice .. Sometimes I am specially going on kite beach to have Filli Tea ..

This is my all time fav chill out spot. You want to chill and have a nice time with affordable budget friendly food and drinks. Then you must! Visit here. I adore the idea of Filli's history and how they came into being. If you haven't visited this place yet and your a chai person get your cars and rush because you don't want to miss out on this place! My favorite being (zafron milk) but if your chai person you should try out the zafron chai or the masala chai! Mahn it's worth every sip.

If you wanna enjoy chai at the beach , this is the place you should go to.

It works till 2Am.. If you like hanging out in the night, this is the place you should opt for.

Now that the temps have dipped down a bit, this branch is ideal for a cup of tea by the sea.
I ve not tried the snacks at this branch but a cup of saffron tea and a stroll on the beach with your partner is perfect.

I haven’t had better samosas in my life and yes I’m a desi, just have not had samosas that even come close to theirs. Dubai and it’s love for chai, their Zafran is just right. Also it’s a great location to just unwind after a long day with your close ones at this beach over chai & samosas.

Filli really needs no introduction. This particular outlet is just a kiosk with no seating, however you do find municipality benches around.

I definitely love the Zaffran tea, though most of my friends are not a fan of it, I definitely keep going back to Filli for the Zaffran Chai.

I would definitely love to try their menu consisting of things other than Zaffran tea!!

Who doesn't love tea must have a boring life. 🤣Kidding aside, I never tried their food, I just love to keep coming back for their regular tea. And especially in this branch which is just within the beach, it's a great company along with friends. A little expensive though than the normal 1Dhs teas, but no complaints at all.

The hype is real. The regular tea is just too good, always best to try with combination of their mouth-watering samosas.

If you prefer strong tea then you might as well go for Zafrani tea but the hot favorite still remains to be the regular Filli tea.

Even though it's a small kiosk at kite beach, it can be easily spotted due to the long lines outside. The sandwich with tea combo is so worth the price. We absolutely loved it and the tea is soo good!

This cafeteria is located on the kite beach such an amazing location where u can have a quick bite and karak!

FOOD:
Nothing fancy only if you're feeling like having a quick cafeteria food like parata or club sandwich but they have a really good Karak with saffron for 6 DHS little expensive compared to other places, but trust me it's totally worth it!

SERVICE:
They are fast and friendly sometimes there might be a que so you would have to wait.

AMBIENCE:
This is an outdoor place where it's perfect in winter time to come and enjoy a sweet cup of kark while enjoying the sound of the sea.

The masters of the art of  Karak Chai. Overlooking the beautiful beach in Umm Suqeim, Filli is magnificently placed to serve folks that flock to the area to relax and catch a quick cuppa over the weekend. What I absolutely love are their little Aloo Samosas with peas. They go so well with the Zafrani Chai. 

They have another secret weapon up their sleeves. Try their Zinger. It gives KFC a real run for their money. Recommended!

Budget: Reasonable

Absolutely loved the service, it was quick and the long line was served very fast. Beautiful place, creating the perfect ambiance to snack on some quick bites and enjoy their signature zafran tea. However, when I went there, it was hot and humid, so I decided to go for the lotus shake instead of the signature tea. Cold and refreshing - perfect to bring relief after walking in the humid weather. It was thick and creamy and one of the best lotus shakes I've ever had! However, you just can't help but notice the amount was too less for its price.

Dubai winters, clear skies, view of the sea and a warm cup of tea,
This place ticks all boxes, its an addiction, it's tea is of best quality.
Our regular go to kadak and zaffran tea, consistency at its best,
Thick, flavorful and so authentic, fills you with vigor and zest.
A bit too sweet, but they can customize it based on your requirement,
Complements the paratha and sandwich bite, the price you pay for the quality here leaves you in amazement.
The layers of cheese, egg and crispy Oman chips gives so much depth and flavor,
Be it for breakfast or for snacks, give this place a visit, do yourself a favor.

I was in Dubai for a Vacation, on last day of my visit, my co-brother took my family to this place and ordered for Saffron Tea & Milk. Decided to have it in our car, well packed, Saffron Tea was excellent, it was thick & strong. Everyone enjoyed it. Quantity was huge, to my surprise my son had one full Saffron milk but I shared only half because of quantity.

It is in my daily visit place in my next Dubai vacation.

Our search for good Karak chai at 6 pm yesterday brought us to Filli on the beach. Great tea. Had the zafran and regular tea. Absolutely fantastic. Very refreshing tea. Great flavor. And to top it all delicious samosa in small bite sizes. The ambience was also fantastic....dusk, beach, superb chai and samosa. A must visit if you are in the area.

Why go there:
Samosa and Saffron Chai by the beach

Go there while the weather is still nice. Get a box of alloo samosas and that sinful Saffron Chai that is more like a dessert really.

And if you go there on Thursday or Friday night, have the patience to queue up. It is very gratifying.

A great location for a hot cup of "CHAI" filli has..their zafran chai is the best n I believe the best selling too...have tried many other tea shops but this get me dragged towards it just like a magnet!!
And what is a chai without hot samosas..they r small but tasty...however a drawback is that they dont have an option of sugarless!!! Wht if a diabetic person has the habit of chai but cant have sugar 😰 and also if we ask them less sugar as i need they jst put more water!!
However they said they are working on the same...but god knwz when!

But stil will give 4 rating coz its indeed worth it!

This outlet is on beach and hence changed the ambience to location.
I am a big fan of zafran tea they serve at this place. It's amazing. Samosas and wraps are also good.
Their cold beverages are also very nice.
I have visited many of their other outlets and the taste is same (good).
Due to high demand, the service takes longer time, but worth waiting.
Enjoy the hot tea in the mornings or evenings or late in the night, especially in the current good weather.

After a nice drive down to Jumeira with my friend Naushad and Basheer, after a short walk at Kite Beach we were excited to drink tea and we saw a new concept called the Filli tea n talk.

I tried drinking the Saffran Tea which was so mouthwatering. It tastes much better than a ordinary chai which you find in cafeterias.

As I'm coming from Doha I have am not sure of any other branches of this Filli but I tried it at Kite Beach in Jumeira so you should try it too.

I don't know what it is about beach and water that makes you hungry! After a swim at the beach, we stopped by Filli for a quick bite. There is ample space around it to sit and the views are like no other. you can see the Burj al Arab on one side and the Burj Khalifa on the other. There is ample parking available. There is a jogging track right next to it. I saw a lot of people in the evening just chilling on the benches with their tea and snacks.

Get Set Gobble:
~ Drinks - We ordered the Oreo shake which was the perfect blend of chocolate and had a great rich texture. It was quite filling. Also had their popular Zaffran tea which was quite good. It is slightly on the sweeter side.
~ Food - We had the Chicken club sandwich to share. It came with four portions of the layered sandwich that was layered with ketchup, mayo, chicken and veggies. It also came with a side of fries.

Overall I appreciated their portion sizes and good value for money.

When you sit on the beach. . Sipping the zaffran tea. .you can of course feel the "mohabbat"!

Was on the beach after a long time. While walking with a friend I suddenly saw "Filli" ... With a big smile the next thing that came my mind was "Zafrani Chai"... It was evening with mildly cold breeze... :)
Awesome location to have Zarfari Tea... Just in front the beach.
Sat on the chair near the jogging passage and enjoyed the tea. :)
