Chai and Indian Street Food Cafe 'Filli' has announced its latest opening as it expands to locations across the UK.
Following the successful launch of flagship stores in Marylebone, London, and Manchester, the latest opening will be on Lever Street in Islington, London.
It will take the Filli group to over 100 fast-casual stores across ten countries.
The new outlet caters for 'eat-in, grab-and-go, delivery and collection'.
It will also offer an all-day menu with bun kebabs, burgers, toasties, wraps and masala fries, herbal and iced teas, artisan coffees, smoothies and milkshakes.
The Filli trademark is registered in 48 countries, including the USA, Canada, North Africa, and across Asia.
Additional stores have been identified across the country, and ambitious plans have been made to open new UK stores over the next five years.
Business Development Director, Saad Awan, said: “Our successful flagship stores in London and Manchester have proved that the UK market is ready for the best chai going.
"Our customers travel from all over the country to experience our signature Saffron tea and our food with its authentic spices, herbs, and exciting flavour twists.”
“In the UAE, FiLLi is known for its slogan Tea n Talk, which it intends to continue as it expands the network.
"It’s a universal concept – take a break, sit down, relax with a cup of chai, press the pause button on the world and have a good get-together and chat. It is great for people’s relaxation and mental health these kinds of human connections make the world go round”.
