Emirates Leisure Retail brings FiLLi and its famous Zafran Chai to DXB

Travelling fans of FiLLi! Emirates Leisure Retail has officially brought the much-loved Zafran Chai tea brand to Dubai International (DXB), Terminal 1, Concourse D (Upper Level). The new opening introduces FiLLi’s classic signature warmth, flavour, and sense of familiarity to travellers passing through one of the world’s busiest airports.

The new FiLLi Café at DXB brings a familiar feeling with a space designed to showcase the brand’s personality and story through its aesthetics. The café is decked out in warm interiors, their famous Zafran flowers, and Instagram-worthy corners – perfect for guests to soak it all in, with a cup of tea in hand. This homegrown chai brand transforms authentic Zafran Chai and festive street flavours into a modern, globally loved café experience, rooted in culture, consistency, and community.

Their airport menu features the classics that we’ve all come to love. Enjoy their easy grab-and-go boxes, signature chai lineup, and mocktails. FiLLi’s menu is led by its world-famous Signature Zafran Chai– a bold, kadak brew made with premium tea leaves and real saffron, paired with a curated selection of Indian and global fusion wraps,  flaky paratha rolls, and comforting street-food inspired bites. Complemented by freshly brewed coffee, smoothies, and refreshing beverages, the menu is designed for quick stops and relaxed breaks alike, offering familiar flavours with a modern café twist. Best enjoyed with a cup of chai in hand.

Whether you’re a last-minute, always-in-a-rush traveller, or just someone who craves a last taste of home, FiLLi awaits with a warm to-go, specially prepared for you.

FiLLi is built on the simple idea that the best conversations start with a cup of chai. This philosophy has helped them grow globally, not just as a tea concept, but as a brand that celebrates togetherness in all its forms.

More than just a cult favourite café in the UAE, FiLLi’s spot in DXB marks another success in Emirates Leisure Retail’s growing travel retail roster. Just like the brand, the opening brings everything from flavour and togetherness all in one store – serving us a reminder that the best journeys begin and end with a great cup of chai.
