4:00 PM – 10:00 PM
Lygon Street is Melbourne's original dining strip — a stretch of trattorias, gelaterias and late-night espresso that has fed Carlton for generations. FiLLi brings something new to the table: Dubai's karak chai culture, poured at the southern end of the strip where Carlton meets the city.
FiLLi Cafe's first Australian tea house sits at 173 Lygon St, in the heart of Carlton's famous dining strip. We bring Dubai's much-loved chai culture to Melbourne — led by our signature Zafran Karak Chai, brewed with Kashmiri (Mongra) saffron.
Start with the FiLLi Karak Zafran Chai, then explore speciality coffees, coco matcha, bubble tea, all-day egg breakfast and Indian street food — momos, chaat, flat breads and melts — finished with FiLLi Special desserts like our Signature Milk Cakes. Everything on the menu is 100% halal.
Find us at 173 Lygon St, Carlton VIC 3053, a short walk from the University of Melbourne. Open daily for dine-in and takeaway — drop by for a cup, or grab your karak to go and stroll Lygon Street.
Very good customer service by bindika
Amazing experience being here. If you’re looking for something spicy, do try their Makhani Foodles (noodles).
Loved the cozy ambience and friendly service. We ordered the Ginger, Karak, Masala, and Zaffran chai, every single one was super aromatic, perfectly brewed, and incredibly refresh...
