Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 6

Try chaat. For a first visit, consider the Royal Filli Chaat; reviewers specifically praise both its presentation and taste.

Allow time. Build in extra time for the meal, or try a quieter period, since one recent diner reported very slow service.

The Bottom Line

FiLLi Select is a modern Indian café-restaurant in Al Wasl’s City Walk, suited to a relaxed meal, catch-up or business conversation. The menu mixes familiar Indian flavours with contemporary combinations, so you might move from Royal Filli Chaat or Kurkure Chicken Momos to butter chicken, mutton rogan josh or paneer tikka rigatoni. The Shami Paratha Style Wrap also gives breakfast visitors a lighter, crisp-edged option.

Tea is central to the experience. Zafran tea is the clearest recurring favourite, even winning over one reviewer who normally does not drink tea. There is also praise for the masala tea, although one diner found the signature karak’s thermos service left an unpleasant aftertaste and suggested freshly made tea instead.

The setting is stylish but easygoing, with calm indoor seating and outdoor tables overlooking City Walk when the weather suits. Staff are often described as warm, attentive and knowledgeable about recommendations. Parking is another practical advantage: reviews mention plenty of free parking and parking validation.

Do allow extra time if you are visiting during a busy period; one recent review called the service very slow. Value is mixed too, with some diners praising generous portions while others found mutton dishes small and expensive.
