A fast-casual cafe concept born in Dubai is now open in Sugar Land.

Filli Cafe, a brand known for its Zafran tea, coffee, mocktails and its homely ambience, announced its opening through social media March 18 at 11920 S. Hwy. 6, Ste. 600, Sugar Land.

Along with stores in the United Kingdom, Filli comes to Sugar Land after its success throughout its 23 cafes in the United Arab Emirates and around the world.

The cafe features snacks including Punjab samosas and chaat, paratha, along with American offerings like loaded fries, nachos, burgers and hotdogs, and pizza. Beverages include Filli’s signature tea, Zafran tea, herbal tea, classic milkshakes, mocktails, fresh juices, and iced and hot coffee, according to the cafe website.

Filli Cafe was founded by Rafih Filli, who opened the cafe when he was 21, selling the brand’s signature tea to Emirati customers in Dubai’s tourist hotspot AlMamzar Corniche, according to the cafe website. 832-532-1010. www.fillicafetexas.com
