FIlli Cafe Islington

I’m a huge fan of the Filli café brand and always visit when i’m in the middle east. I was so excited in to be able to have Filli in London on my visit here. The café is nice and clean (only a bit small) and staf is super kind. Ordered my favourites; a karak chai and Samosa Chaat and they did not dissapoint!

Staff were very welcoming and nice -- I'm in a wheelchair and as we got out the door, the lovely cashier rushed out behind us to give me something to hold our drinks (which is great because I'm clumsy as is!). It was just a sweet gesture and that kindness goes a long way. Next time I'm in the area, I'll be stopping by again :)

First time going here with my friend and we ordered the zafra chai and a chai latte respectively. We sampled the other types too (ginger, masala and karak) and a cinnamon one is also available. Depending on your preferences consider the sweetness level of the chai considering they are normally sweet. These blends are also available for purchase at the counter! As for snacks, the bun maska and samosas were had. Again, depending on your preferences the butter could be reduced. The samosas were quite tasty and were accompanied by a tangy tamarind chutney. There was a very kind and attentive lady who helped us during our visit (did not get her name, but it starts with an ‘S’!). We were both very appreciative of her assistance and energy. The place is on the smaller side and even though it can accommodate parties of 5-8 one must consider availability. Overall a good first experience and is worth the visit again! P.S. There is a 10% student discount as well!
